Mumbai, Jul 16 (PTI) Television producer Gajendra Singh
, who pioneered the concept of reality musical shows on television with 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa' and 'Antakshari' today defended such shows saying they have served as a platform to bring singing talent to the fore.
Addressing a press conference here to announce the launch of the second season of 'Voice of India' on Star Plus, Singh claimed all the singers are doing well for themselves. "Nobody becomes an icon at the first instance," he added.
Singh said he has succeeded with the objective of promoting quality singers with his shows like 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa' on Zee TV, 'Voice of India' and 'Chote Ustad' on Star Plus.
He said youngsters from all across the country have adapted to speaking Hindi because of musical reality shows on television.😆😆😆
Speaking about the second season of Voice of India which begins from July 18, Singh said he has brought in a new format where 24 participants from 24 states will vie for the top honours.
He said the idea was not to divide the participants on basis on their home states, but to pick the best from every nook and corner of the country.
Singh said the judges will have equal weightage in deciding the winners. "Public opinion is important but judges will do the balancing act to ensure that injustice is not meted out to genuine singers," he added.
However, the finale will have 100 per cent public voting, he added.😠PTI
