Soundarya Eliminated..

It was Soundarya to get eliminated from Airtel Super Singer Junior 2 show.. it was kinda shocking decision to eliminate her from the show.. I felt she has been performing well and she was not that bad to be eliminated at this stage of the competition..there were few kids who perform well below Soundarya's standard.. the show is now with 17 In, 1 Out..

It was Duet round last week where kids were grouped into couples and perform duet songs.. 1 melody and 1 peppy number.. the show was not hosted by Divya.. it was hosted by Badava Gopi and his wife Haritha Gopi for the first 2 episodes.. then it was reel life couple..Sivakarthikeyan and Aishwarya hosting the show for next 2 episodes. The highlight of the show was there was a sofa where best performing couple will get a seat and they wont have competitive performance in next week's episode. it will be just a special performance by them.

The show had Mano, Chitra and Shuba judging the performances and Ananth Vaidyanathan, the voice trainer for the kids.. Roshan was selected as the super kid of the week..

Sivaranjani Eliminated..

Superstar Rajinikanth's birthday was celebrated in Airtel Super singer Junior 2 studios.. last week in the show had contestants grooming like Rajinikanth and singing some of the super hit songs of his films. First day of the show was with Elimination Challenge where 5 contestants who were in danger zone performed and Vishnu Charan was the one with lowest judges' scores.. then Mano gave him a chance and he was not eliminated.. From tuesday to thursday it was all 19 contestants giving tribute to Rajinikanth for the occasion of his birthday. There were some stunning performances as usual from the kids and finally it was Sivaranjani to be eliminated from the show.. so now its 18 In, 1 Out..

Mano's mimic for commenting the performances was really good.. All the contestants were saying some punch dialogues of Rajini's movies and their own dialogue that would suit the superstar. It was funny and very innovative things being done by the contestants.. There was birthday song even sung for the superstar by everyone in the show..

19 in, 0 out..

It was no elimination in all Vijay TV shows last week ;) no elimination in Super Singer Junior, no elimination in Anu alavum bayamillai.. okay... coming to the super singer show, the show had 19 contestants fighting for next round spot and it was classical songs round..its a tribute to all the music teachers and specifically for the contestants, a tribute to their teachers. some of the contestants came with their music teachers and both the contestant, teacher spoke about each other.. Unnikrishnan and Nithyashree came in as special judge for this round and they were giving too good comments on the performances..they even gave standing ovation to some of the performances. Divya hosted the show okay but she should definitely consider her dressing in the show.. it was not at all good.. after the performances when it came to elimination, the special judges said that they cannot judge the performances with just this round so its upto Mano, Chitra and Shuba to take the decision. There were 5 contestants with low scores and one amongst them will be eliminated in the next round of the competition..

No more special 5..

In this season of the competition there is a special 5 zone where top five contestants will be selected based on the performances and they will not eliminated for that round.. this week the top 5 was broken by the contestants.. it went on to special 6 zone..Prasanna Sundar bagged the super kid award for the week for his excellent performance..

Carnatic round..






This week in Airtel Super Singer Junior 2 it will be Carnatic songs round.. I am not sure about the name of the round.. it could be carnatic or classical songs round.. I expected this round be little later in the show but now its early with top 19 contestants fighting for the next round spot. ofcourse given the title of the round.. there are special guests/judges in the show.. this week;s show will have Nithyashree and Unnikrishnan.. apt people for this round and I dont know why Vijay TV missed Sudha Raghunathan.. I will be happy to see her along with these two. This round in the competition is going to be very very difficult for few contestants and very easy for many of them.. lets see how it goes..

Sanjana Eliminated..

Sanjana is eliminated from Airtel Super singer Junior 2 this week.. it was Mottukalin mettukal round and there was very good competition between top 20 contestants in the show..It was little sad to know that Sanjana is being eliminated from the show.. I guess in the Boys Vs Girls round even she did a very good job. Now, the show is left with 19 contestants fighting for the next round spot.So, now its left with 19 In, 1 Out..

Whos in Mottukalin Mettukal round ?

So, this week on the show we did not had Malgudi Shubha judging the perforamnces of the contestants.. it was only Mano and chitra doing the honours.. Voice expert Ananth Vaidyanathan was available and he gave his comments on each contestant before their performance. looks like there has been considerably good improvement from the kids after his arrival.

Home Theatre..

From this week, the eliminated contestant will get a Home theatre worth 10,000 INR as gift and hearing that Sanjana was quite happy.. This gift is been sponsored by Singapore hardwares..

No Elimination

It was no elimination in boys Vs girls round in Airtel Super singer Junior 2 last week.. the top 20 contestants had Boys Vs Girls round where the boys and girls contestants were seperated as two teams and compete against each others' challenge.. the competition was really good and the round was not bad at all except for the judgement.. the final judgement was.. no elimination in this round of the competition.. I think keeping in mind Children's day and giving another chance for them to prove themselves.. it was a kind of request from Ananth Vaidyanathan, the voice expert who had joined the show in very early stage than his usual entry. Judges responded positively to this decision.. with that all the 20 contestants get into next round in the competition..

Boys Vs Girls round..

It is Boys Vs Girls.. yeah Boys Vs Girls in Airtel Super Singer Junior 2 this week.. so the boys and girls are spearated as two teams and they perform as the competition between the genders. Sounds interesting right.. more interesting is, the set of the show is from Boys Vs Girls show... so they are not using the Super Singer Junior 2 stage for this round and Boys Vs Girls stage is used.. which makes sense for the name of the round. I liked the way the challenge is set.. they have toss first and each team calls for challenge with anyone in the opposite team and they also make sure the top 20 gets atleast a chance in this round.

In addition to this setup, the show is anchored by Deepak and DD.. this makes us to get a feel of Boys Vs Girls show...and they are doing a good job and I guess interesting than Divya.. I am not sure.. might be because they are here just for this round. Girls team is accompanied with Brinda Das and Priyadarshini & Boys team with Balaji, John and Kamalesh for their support.

Whos in Boys Vs Girls round ??

Its Boys Vs Girls round in Airtel Super Singer Junior 2 and the show has the top 20 contestants fighting for the next round spot..The show has the permanent family judges Mano, Chitra and Shuba judging the performances of the contestants. Divya is replaced with Deepak & DD for this round of the competition.. Trainers Ajeesh and Nikhil are not there this round and we have got voice expert Ananth Vaidhyanadhan for training the contestants from this round of the competition.

Something about Alka Ajith..

Alka Ajith is a child singer daughter of Ajith a professional singer and keyboard player.

At the age when infants need lullabies to go to sleep, Alka was already lisping songs to entertain her parents. At 7 years of age, Alka Ajith had already achieved distinctions like singing in 10 languages, 500 plus stage performances, UNESCO gold medal, Rotary International award, etc.

Alka, who debuted on stage at the age of 2½ years, is a hit with the audiences of ‘ganamelas’, where she sings from her repertoire of 3000 songs. Alka has a family tradition of music. Her grandfather was a noted singer. Ajith’s brother Manoj is a guitarist with Yesudas’s troupe. Another uncle of her, Sudhir, is a member of the military orchestra.

Her debut on August 15, 1999 at I.M.A Hall, Thalassery happened at a time when her father left R.R.Orchestra at Bangalore and started Sangeet Sagar at Thalassery. Now young Alka is the star singer in the Sangeet Sagar troupe. Although the troupe has other singers, the 15-song effort of Alka is the key attraction at their programmes.

A fan of noted playback singer K. S. Chitra, Alka has already brought out 6 audio cassettes and has found her name included in the Limca Book of Indian Records.

A debut album of songs rendered by this 10-year-old singer Alka Ajith, titled ‘Chakkaramuthu,’ was released in Kannur on January 30,2008. Alka Ajith, daughter of M.P. Ajith Kumar, drew the attention of music lovers when she started singing at the age of three. Mr. Kumar said that she bagged an international UNESCO award when she was six.

She has sung over 6,000 songs in 11 languages over the last few years. He also said that his daughter could learn by rote songs in any language. She has sung in English, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Urdu, he said.

In the recently released album, Alka Ajith lends her voice to songs written by C. Devaraj, Bharanikkavu Shivakumar and C.H. Rajan. The lyrics were given music by K. Saju Thalassery.

She is currently contesting in Star Vijay's Airtel Super Singer Junior 2009.

Small wonder

When others are planning to have fun this summer, Alka is preparing for her concerts. Alka Ajith is in Standard II, of Holy Family English Medium School, Thalassery. She has not completed seven years. But she has sung more than 5,000 songs, can sing in 11 languages and has given more than 500 stage programmes all over India.

In February, this year, Alka performed for the Guinness Record of `Youngest Musician in Asia', at Muthalakkodam, Thodupuzha. The function was organised by Muthalakkodam Jaycees and World Wonders Web, which is an international miracle performers association.

Alka gave her first public performance when she was two and a half years old. She sang the Hindi super hit "Soldier ... ... Soldier... ". The programme was organised to remember Kargil heroes. When she was four she cut her first audio album, "I love my India". The album had eight patriotic songs. Besides this album, she also has audiocassettes to her credit. Recently she has sung songs in Chinese, French and Arabic. But she likes to sing Malayalam songs best.

Alka, daughter of M.P. Ajith Kumar and K. Sajitha, of Mandala Parambath, Kavumbhagam, Thalassery, comes from a family of musicians. Ajith Kumar is a professional musician and organist. He now runs Alka's Orchestra, `Sangeeth Sagar'. Ajith Kumar is not only Alka's inspiration but her guru too. "We are proud of Alka," says P. Chandran, Principal, Holy Family.

Alka entered the Limca Book of World Records in 2003. She has won many awards including Bharatheeya Gourav Puraskar, New Delhi in 2003, Sauparnika Theeram Mini Screen Award in 2004, Thalassery Drishya Kala's A. T. Ummer Award in 2004, International UNESCO Club of Repalle (A.P) award and Gold Medal in 2001 and the Rotary International achievement award and gold medal in 2002.

Most of Alka's concerts are held during holidays and the vacation. Her father composes all her songs. Her next project is an album on pop songs and performances in the Gulf countries and the U.S..

20 in, 1 out..

Its now left with top 20 contestants to fight for the next round spot in Airtel Super Singer Junior 2. This week was with Rajavin Ramyamana Raagangal and there were nice performances from the contestants. With the end of the show, being a competitive round, there was one elimination being made in the show.. so , now its left with the 20 contestants for the next round. Surprisingly this round Divya did not try to make the eliminated contestant cry.. usually the whole team was doing that. It was close fight for Balasarangan even.. I think it would have been better if he had not participated in this event.. his reputation had reduced a lot and he is not to be blamed much since his voice is breaking and he has no control over it. Alka Ajith was selected as Rin Super Kid this week..

Whats up in the show..

Jensi was available in the show as special guest for first few days and on the final day she replaced Mano in the main judges area.. I thought Vijay tV would have made her to be special guest/judge for the final day even.. thats of no difference to the round. I also wish that more and more special guests come into the show and which will bring lots of opportunities for the kids..

Rajavin Ramyamana Raagangal..

It was meastro Ilayaraja's pleasant melody songs round in Airtel Super Singer Junior 2 this week. I think this round was perfect for most of the contestants... they were able to exhibit their talent really well. The show was very interesting and the performances too..

Whos in the show..

This week's show had the top 21 contestants performing..then with the permanent family judges Mano, Chitra and Shuba. Divya continued to host the show...Nikhil and Ajeesh were the trainers for the contestants.. I think Vijay TV can invite Ravi, Renu even to this training sessions. They are equally good.

Ilayaraja had given lots and lots of great melody songs and this episode I think the contestants will choose songs in the late 1970s and early 1980s which were super duper hits. I liked most of the performances of the contestants in this round.
