Are we ready for Super Singer Junior 3 ?

Are we ready for Super Singer Junior 3 ?

With Airtel Super Singer 3 almost nearing the finals, the promotional videos for the next season of Airtel Super Singer Junior 3 has been started by Vijay TV. Undoubtedly Vijay TV's Airtel Super Singer has been the most popular reality show in tamil television channels. But, the question here is are we really ready for the Super Singer Junior 3. Overwhelmingly most of us would tell Yes for this question and its fun to watch Junior Super Singer show.

Extended over extension..

Usually Super Singer in Star Vijay TV has been extended over and over again. These days each season go for a whole year and ofcourse its interesting in most part of it. We knew that there was a rumour that Chinmayi didnt continue hosting the Airtel Super Singer show since it has been extended over the actual contract. But, I think the show has matured enough to run several seasons from now. I dont see any reason for the show to come to an end. In the last two years the Airtel Super Singer grand finale has been airted live in Vijay TV which is a real good news and they have done that well.

Super Prizes

Super Singer's popularity has made Vijay TV to give away super duper prizes which range from LCD TV to Gold bracelet to Car and to house. Now, the prize for the Super Singer 3 is villa which is valued at 40 lac INR. I think in next few seasons they will start giving prize in the range of crores. Last season with the seniors had the opportunity to sing in Yuvan Shankar Raja's composition and Ajeesh got that chance along with Car as gift. Then, the last season of Super Singer Junior had the prize of house in Pondichery worth 15 lacs and it was given to both Alka Ajith and Srikanth. In the current season, there were similar prizes in the preliminary rounds with top 40 contestants which ranged in all categories.

Are you ready ?

All these said, are we ready for the Super Singer Junior 3. Ofcourse YES for most part of it in the entertainment but I am not sure how much the kids will get affected since the shows are usually made late in the night and goes for a whole year. I am happy to see the last season juniors Nithyashree, Alka Ajith, Shree Nisha and Priyanka already sang in movies but still our environment gives first importance to education. Also, we remember that these kids after their last season of Airtel Super Singer, they also got into Junior Superstars, another singing competition between the south Indian junior singers.

Singing Your Way to Fame: Indian Music Reality Shows



By and large, music plays an important part in the lives of us Indians – from birth to death to festivals to prayer to marriage, music is usually incorporated in some form. Chances are, you yourself are into singing or playing or at least happen to know a few people who would love to take the stage if given a chance!

Well that explains why there have been a ton of music-related reality shows on Indian television. Here’s revisiting some of the major ones:

Sa Re Ga Ma Pa (Zee TV)

Sa Re Ga Ma Pa is one of the oldest and perhaps most prestigious music reality show contests on Indian television – several ex-Sa Re Ga Ma Pa contestants now have successful careers as singers. The first episode was aired in 1995. Hosts thus far include Sonu Nigam, Amaan Ali Khan, Avaan Ali Khan, Shaan, Adtya Narayan and Purab Kohli. A lot of OST launches happen on the show and many high-profile Bollywood celebrities have given guest appearances and have served as mentors and judges. There have been international versions of the contest, as well as Sa Re Ga Ma Pa seasons which offered children a chance to display their singing skills.

Airtel Super Singer (STAR Vijay)

Launched in 2006, this music reality show is in Tamil. Winners of the competition have sung for well-respected composers including Harris Jayaraj and Yuvan Shankar Raja.

Jjhoom India (Sahara One)

In 2007, Jjhoom India began and brought together celebrities paired with professional singers in a musical competition: Vinod Rathod and Roshi Chopra, Jatin Pandit and Chhavi Mittal, Varun Badola and Akriti Kakar, and many others. It sure was entertaining to watch celebrities trying to keep up with the professional singers! Judges included Mahesh Bhatt, Shabana azmi and Anand Shah.

K for Kishore (Sony Entertainment Television Asia)

From  2007-08, 12 contestants competed on one platform attempting to sound as close as possible to the much celebrated singer Kishore Kumar. Judges were Bappi Lahiri, Amit Kumar and Sudesh Bhonsle, while Rajeshwari Sachdev and Babul Supriyo were the hosts.

Music Ka Maha Muqqabla (STAR Plus)

Launched in 2009, this music reality show had an interesting concept of celebrities Mika Singh, Himesh Reshammiya, Mohit Chauhan, Shreya Ghoshal, Shaan and Shankar Mahadevan leading various competing teams, which each consisted of three well-known singers and one new singer. The show had its dramatic and controversial moments at time when celebrities had brief tiffs on screen.

Indian Idol (Sony Entertainment Television Asia)

An Indianized version of Britain’s Pop Idol and the U.S.’s American Idol, Indian Idol started in 2004 and has had five seasons thus far. The show has been hosted by Mini Mathur, Aman Verma, Hussain Kuwajerwala, Melyang Chang, Deepali Kishore, Abhijeet Sawant and Prajakta Shukre in the past. Judges for the show include Anu Malik Farah Khan and Sonu Nigam for seasons one and two, Malik, Javed Akhtar, Alisha Chinai and Udit Narayan for season three, Malik, Akhtar, Sonali Bendre,and Kailash Kher for season four, and Malik, Sunidhi Chauhan and Salim Merchant for season five. The show serves as one of the biggest competitors to Sa Re Ga Ma Pa.

Fame Gurukul (Sony Entertainment Television Asia)

In 2005, a mix of Indian Idol and Big Brother was created in the form of Fame Gurukul. Sixteen contestants lived in a music academy setting while competing with each other until the end. The head mistress was Ila Arun, and judges included Javed Akhtar, K.K. and Shankar Mahadevan. The show was hosted by Mandira Bedi and Maniv Gohil.

Fame X (SAB TV)

Following in the footsteps of Fame Gurukul, Fame X aired from 2006-07 with Palash Sen serving as the dean and judges including Nikhil Chinapa, Ganesh Hedge and Daler Mehndi. The show was initially hosted by Sophie Choudry but she was later replaced by Shilpa Sakhlani

Waar Parriwar (Sony Entertainment Television Asia)

Waar Parriwar was unique in the sense that entire musical families were competing with each other  instead of individual contestants. While Urmila Matondkar served as the host and Jatin Pandit as the mentor, several celebrity judges appeared on the show including Ismail Darbar, Daler Mehndi, Mika Singh, Aadesh Srivastav, Shaan, Jatin-Lalit, Bappi Lahiri, Roop Kumar Rathod, Kumar Sanu, Udit Narayan and Pandit Jasraj.

Junoon Kuch Kar Dikhaane Ka (NDTV Imagine)

Launched in 2008, Junoon Kuch Kar Dikhaane Ka had an interesting concept of dividing contestants into three teams of six players each based on music genre. The show was hosted by Annu Kapoor and the teams were divided into Sufi Ke Sultan, which featured celebrity singers Jaswinder Singh, Harshdeep Kaur and Kavita Seth, Bollywood Ke Baadshah and Maati Ke Laal. The judges included Rahat Fateh Ali Khan for Sufi Ke Sultan, Ila Arun for Maati Ke Laal and Anand Raj Anand for Bollywood Ke Baadshah.

Amul Star Voice of India (STAR Plus)

In 2007, Amul Star Voice of India brought together contestants from various music reality shows such as Ishmeet Singh from Indian Idol and Toshi Sabri from Sa Re Ga Ma Pa all onto one platform. Judges included Aadeshh Shrivastav, Abhijeet Bhattacharya, Alka Yagnik, Lalit Pandit and Jatin Pandit. Shaan hosted show. There was later a series for children between the ages of 8 and 14 called Chhote Ustaad judged by Shreya Ghoshal, Kunal Ganjawala and Pritam. The second season was hosted by Chinmayi and Omi Vaidya with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Sonu Nigam serving as the judges.

Jo Jeeta Wohi Super Star (STAR Plus)

A bit along the lines of Amul Star Voice of India, Jo Jeeta Wohi Super Star brought together the winners of all singing reality shows that had previously been completed, as well as runners-up to compete for the title of “Superstar.” Mandira Bedi hosted the show, while Farah Khan and the Vishal-Shekher duo were judges.

Santosh eliminated from Top 4



Airtel Super Singer 3 in Vijay TV, Santosh eliminated from Top 4

Airtel Super Singer 3 in Vijay TV had the top 4 contestants sing songs of their choice as their last performance in the Top 4. As expected Santosh was eliminated from the Top 4 and he is right now banking on the wild card round to try and make a come back into the contest.

Sai Charan and Sathyaprakash went into the top 3 without any problems. It was left between Pooja and Santosh for the last remaining slot in the Top 3. Pooja's good performance all through the week got her into the top 3 in spite of her singing songs that were to her strength. The Nokia singer of the week award went to Sathyaprakash who won a Nokia N1014 for his performance.

The Airtel song of the week went to Pooja for singing the song Athan and she won a gift of LCD TV for her performance. These were the two contestants who went to the top 3 without any problems. The judges were concerned about the fact that Pooja was not singing songs that were not her strength. It was Santosh who faced the axe due to his lackluster performance.
