The Airtel Super Singer 3 Grand Finale on 23rd September 2011 was a very long program. It lasted almost 5 1/2 hours and finally it was "Sai Charan" who emerged as a Winner.
The Airtel Super Singer 2 had Ajeesh being declared as a Winner despite the consistent performances by Ravi. Sameway we saw "Sai Charan" winning the title despite very consistent and brilliant performances by "Satya Prakash". The worst thing that happened this year is Satya Prakash was adjudged as the Second Runner up which was really shocking.
Santosh winning the Runner up position was a big surprise for everyone including Santosh himself.
I was very sad for "Pooja" for getting relegated to the 3rd Runner up Position. She deserved a much better positioning. Her song selection for the finale was not good. She sang the first song "Mannavan Vandaanadi thozhi" very well but the second song she chose was very ordinary song "gala galavena pozhiyum megham enna sollutho".
Satya Prakash sang "Oru naal poduma" and "Omana penne". He is a very versatile and elegant singer. He is very comfortable while singing and does not strain too much. He has a very bright future and will do well in life given his versatility and calm composure.
Santosh did well with "Auromale" and the second song is not a familiar song and I heard it for the first time. He was full of energy and put in lot of emotion while singing.
"Sai Charan" has been the shining star over the last few weeks. He rendered "Paattum naane bhavamum naane" and "Mazhai thuli mazhai thuli mannil sangamam". He strained himself and put in his best effort to render both the songs very well. He sounded from the start like a winner. The standing ovation that he got from the entire audience was the accredition and acknowledgement for his winning the title as "Airtel Super Singer 3". He was really outstanding in the finale and the song selection helped him a great deal.
Both Sai Charan and Satya Prakash did well with their song selection while the same cannot be said about Pooja and Santosh.
The Program could have been shorter and conducted with lot more seriousness. The compere "Siva Karthikeyan" in his enthusiasm exhibited his lack of maturity. You can take a dig at others once in a while but should not do it all the time and in every sentence spoken. That is very cheap and height of immaturity. He needs to be counseled and advised by someone as he is an intelligent and bright youngster who has a long future ahead of him.
Hi Anand,
ReplyDeleteGood Article on something almost everyone was talking about in Chennai. My opinion is Satya & Sai are equally talented, but Sai picked winning songs (known to many to evalute & vote), but Satya's Oru Naal Podhuma did not have that "Pride" with which Balamuralikrishna sang & Balaiya had acted. He sang it like the one in "His Highness Abdulla" (melodiously). The second song was absurd, which only 3 out of 10 would have known to evaluate & vote, though he might have sung well we did not know that song, so mistake was his. Hope GV Prakash gives him chance as he declared him as his favourite singer. Pooja was forced (by judges) to be over-confident, so lost. Santosh did not expect anything, but evidently most of the people liked him./Sunder, Chennai
