Fan bases are built by contestants through their public connect. Unfortunately, almost all mainstream music reality shows are finally judged by the public. Channels, Judges, Production teams, etc can mould public opinion to an extent - but an extent only.
In two past tries on mainstream talent shows SMP was unable to make serious headway with the public. Her talent was undoubted in both.
Anjali won a top kids show as a wildcard entry in her 1st attempt. She was a joint winner, but the back story is that she actually got the most votes in the finals. Her inability to achieve the same success this time is very shocking. Two of the judges are the same as last time, despite which, her struggle in IL12 is squarely attributable to negative performance sentiments. She finished bottom 5 so many times!
I don't profess to have deep musical knowledge so I can't find the reason for Anjali's lack of success with both the judges and the public (who know her from before as a winner). Maybe she chose the wrong year to compete in. Who knows.
