Over the weekend I watched a lot of TV and changed a lot of diapers!. We had some rough weather with a snow storm heading our way. However the 4-6 inches forecast turned out to be nothing major with hardly 2 inches accumulation,a major portion of it being washed away with the rain that followed. However, the temps really plummeted and we were down to the teens.
I have been following Zee's Little Champs for a while now. Its an entertaining show with a group of very talented and musically inclined kids performing every week. The two judges on the show,Suresh Wadkar and Sonu Nigam are legends in their own right. Their feedback on the performances with due emphasis on technical details and a fair amount of encouragement is a treat to watch. Too often you hear judges on these types of programs only parroting sentences full of praise which literally mean nothing.
Here are my two cents on some of the kids I like:
Sagar : The cricket crazy Bombay lad may not be the best singer in the group but I feel he has much more potential than is evident in his performances. He seems to be a very lively young boy who gets a little overawed by the occasion. Happens to the best of us.He's been ousted from the competition once and is back as a wild card entry. However, it remains to be seen if he's able to hold on to his spot.
Sahil: The quiet, unassuming lad from Hissar,Haryana is immensely talented. However, his nerves got the better of him and he got eliminated from the show. To my immense delight, he was back as a wild card entry and gave two power packed performances earning kudos from the judges. I would be very disappointed if he doesn't cut it in the public voting which is literally a lottery.
Vasundhara: Perhaps the most consistent and tuneful singer on the show. This girl has got amazing variety and such a sweet voice. Definitely a front runner in the race so far.
Tanmay: My favorite on the show. The little boy from Lucknow is fun to watch. He's got a style and personality of his own. A very good singer and someone who doesnt have any sort of stage fear,this little boy is as innocent as they come. Another consistently good performer so far.
Rohan: The Sikh lad is an easy going,wonderfully talented singer who performs effortlessly without a care in the world. He's given some top notch performances so far.I quite like the boy.
Vaishali: This little girl is fun but talks too much!. Not quite consistent and on the verge of elimination.
There have been couple of instances where parents have objected to some of the decisions made by the judges. I think that's absurd for the judges are doing a very fine job and know a great deal about music than the average Joe in the audience. Also, by bickering these fellows are really setting a bad example for their kids. This is a competition and all judgments are biased to some extent. How hard it is to understand that? They almost make it seem that this show is the finality of their children's career. They cannot be more in the wrong. Agreed,its fabulous to win but then this is not the end of the world.Let the kids enjoy the competition and learn as much as they can from the two fabulous singers on the show.
The kids are far more sporting and care free than their parents and its their attitude which makes this show so watchable.
