anfiwyn, I agree with much of what you said.
On the bright side of the dark side, they all get exposure on a much larger scale due to reality show hype, that they otherwise would not have, they develop fanbases across the world, etc. - it increases their chances of getting work in the music industry, doing stage shows, getting picked up for other Zee programming, etc. - so in the short term, it still does them some good, though to what extent, if any, it increases their long-term chances of becoming established playback singers is questionable and remains to be seen. The real underlying value of SRGMP, version 2.0 (reality show) really isn't so much in winning the contest, it's just a platform for young talent to get as much mileage out of the exposure they are getting, while they can, before they get eliminated.
