I saw in another forum a reference to singer Madhumita hosting the next SMY. Obviously Chinmayi had enough of season 1. (Apparently it took 15 hours to record the finals, what with preview interviews with the contestants, the judges, contestants' parents, rehearsals with band, mic rehearsals for studio director, pre-recording of the non-contestants' songs, etc).
It will be great if they bring back Madhu as the judge of the grand finale. But I hope the captains are equally matched in talent and that they give greater focus to nurturing young talents and not just make the show a face-off between captains. Of course, face-offs between captains, especially of the sort that Hindi viewers saw between Shankar M and Shaan, help with ratings đ
