Rahul... π
No thank you! I don't want her back. In fact, in my opinion, at least half the contestants don't really have the talent to be on that stage.
We have the second largest population in this world...and you're telling me this is the best you could find out there?
They probably called back the contestants who didn't make it through SRGMP C'05 because it would be too much of a hassle, too much of an effort, and cost too much of their (excessive) money to go about the country and search for fresh talent. These people have had their chance. Those who proved themselves through C'05 but didn't make it should have been called back (that's like 4-5 people) and the rest should have been fresh faces and talent. Instead, we're stuck with a mix of the good and the bad (and sometimes worse than just the bad) from the last show and are now having a competition amongst those with varying levels of talent.
hmmm. kitna intellectual answerπ
btw, qn is "kisne theka leh rakha hai" to find the best possible singers out of the billion people that we have produced? i am sure sgmp made the best attempt last time around when they had auditions all over. i'd imagine it wld be hard to come up with a new crop every few months. they'd be just dipping into the same talent pool they've previously eliminated. maybe they'll find some new talents, but probably not enough to justify....

American idol auditions for every season...
with American idol, we dont have comprehensive searches each season. they go thru all the applicants really fast, no one's got the time to be as comprehensive. so they can keep coming up with new performers every time .
on the other hand, sgmp did make an effort to be very comprehensive only a year ago. they'll just be dipping into the same talent pool. yes, they can go down their short-lists and find the next 32 singers, but what they are doing is presenting the best they found only a year ago after a comprehensive search. i'd rather have them present the same folks again, than go down in quality so that we can have new contestants.
also, the two shows are in two different countries with 2 different economics and viewer audiences. american idol can afford to conduct things on a bigger scale in any case, and even then i dont think they do a very comprehensive search each time.
India too can "afford" to go through the process over, but then the poor politicians, big-wigs, producers, directors, gundaas, etc would be losing their precious "hard-earned" money from their pockets. And we can't have that happening now, can we?
As for talent pool .... I'm going to have to disagree. Partially because I like disagreeing with you Rahul! π But also partially because there is scope to search for talent in other cities. There are plenty of locales SRGMP never exploited in their search. It is not necessary that everyone who had talent could make it to the first auditions. Some of those who tried out may have improved immensly. Some may have been over looked in the had-badi.
You can't tell me that of all the millions who populate India, only these 9 pairs had enough talent to be in this competition!
yaar, after a while, there is declining utility with each and every search. trying to dig out that last extra ounce of gold from a depleted mine, tum bolo, shld we make that another government undertaking? now, i can understand your point if the population keeps "churning". but we dont have a billion new people every year replacing a billion people we currently have, or do we?π
i wld rather simply have them go with the best, even if they are repeats, than go down the short-lists they must have and come up with increasing junk.
btw, repeating the contestants gives them a chance to stay in the public eye, so good for them too. otherwise, kab ka bhool gaye hote. [and i thot we folks were the strong loyal types unlike the decadent types who just move on and forget. uff, kya karein] π
