Since I've been here and especially over the last few days I haven't really had a chance to see whats going on in the world of daily Indian TV. Like I've mentioned before there are a few shows I like and a few I simply cant stand. Two of the shows I quite enjoy are both talent shows, one in Bengali and one in Hindi and both with the same concept, finding the next child singing talent.
I have to say these kids are amazing and some of the best I've heard and very entertaining..... I don't think I have the guts to go up on stage and be criticized day after day. However I have two little problems with the shows.
Firstly, these kids are dressed up to look and act like adults and it almost reminds me of Britney Spears, back in the days when she was 16 almost looking naked at the MTV VMA's with a snake around her neck singing ' I,m a slave for you'. Look where that got her..... A complete southern mental case...... So do you really want your kids to end up like that?? Ok maybe they are not dressed as provocatively but still why not dress these kids like kids...... Oh well, Im not a parent and what do I know?
Secondly, the judges are all masters of their own art and very well known musicians but the problem I find with them is that they want these kids to be so pitch perfect and sound exactly like the original song that I feel like their creativity and the chance to show their own signature talent is being robbed! These judges really need to calm the hell down and let the kids do their thing... of course I'm not saying they shouldn't give then any directions or pass on their knowledge but for the sake of their own identity........... PLEASE STOP TRYING TO CLONE THEM!
