Wow! what a great deal of DRAAMA thay had to play on last Saturday & Sunday at the Saregamapa LITTLE OLDER CHAMPS!!!???
Right from the time ABHIRAM was mysteriousely sent out, both Rajesh & Hamsaleka appeared pale , sinful and failed utterly to maintain a sober face for..for, they were HYPOCRITES by far!!??
They knew , everyone in the Sets knew and so knew lakhs and lakhs of audience whoever followed this Non-Reality show that this misdeed was committed by them only to keep Yogendra clear of neck-to-neck fight/competition in the FINALS that is going to go within the next few days. They also knew why a moderate singer like Govinda was being dragged episode after episode. How come only Subramanya & Sapna were given a RE-ENTRY thru a wild card !?! What sin did Haripriya, Kshama & Abhiram do ? just because they are not related to those 2 participant co-ordinators nor were they ready to hobnob Rajesh-Hamsaleka-Pallavi-Balu.!!!
HISTORY REPEATED FOR THE 2nd TIME on the sets on SUNDAY last (23rd Aug'09) when Pallavi PRETENDED pleading her 'inability' to announce the eliminated singers. Then came the Super Duper Guru-Shishya to convey ficticiousely that all the four pairs would make it to the finals. Hurray! there began the 'FEET -TOUCHING SPREE' of 8 kids & their parents who cried , wept and the tears of JOY, (Un) Gratefulness swept the telescreens. Because all of them were air-lifted to the FINALS now. !!
What a Draama, yaar?!?
Poor people, they hardly thought that crores of people would have understood all the gimmicks that these great men & women have played in Karnataka...all in the name of Kannada, Film Music .
Just think a while,..., If the composers or Music directors or actors or even Lyricists who created those thousands of songs were to witness the DOUBLE GAMES played consistantly by Rajesh & his vicious troupe, they would have committed suicide.
Hamsaleka addressing ever faltering Govinda had said on week before last that " You are missing the tarck often...if U continue so..., APAAYA KADIDE NAMAGE!!??!! "
As a music director how he could endorse Sachin " You lost Shruthi at many spots..yet the song came out very well" which was endorsed again by Rajesh !!??
WE in India perhaps do not have a monitoring agency from the Government to regulate the misdeeds committed on TELEVISON everyday. The day we have one, they should be laying their Iron Hand on such miscarriers of our culture & tradition. Otherwise our children will sit to witness along with us like dumb driven cattles many insane shows, vulgarities which would derail the Indian society onto the Western brim, thus demoralising each one at every home.

Atrocities on Little Champs
Kudos to an Article in VIJAYA KARNATAKA dtdt. 11.08.09 which was a timely onslaught for the MIDITEK kind of Production units who have violated all norms in SaReGaMaPa LITTLE CHAMPS.
Now that the REALITY SHOWS have come to stay on the Telescreens, every month we get to see newer Shows adding up to the bandwagon.
One such popular one is Zee Kannada's Sa RE GA MA PA little champs (
SaReGaMa)& Yede Thumbi Haaduvenu(YTH) where stalwarts like SP Balasubramanyam & Hamsalekha have allowed the mediocre talents to creep in , awaringly or unawaringly, thus taking the crores together MUSIC lovers have becom of their Mu SICK as the audience have been taken for a RIDE since the past 4 months.!!!
Even the last season's Yede Tumbi Haduvenu's Mega Finals held at MYSORE was reveerberant with poor musical quality, wonder, how Mysorean connoisseurs tolerated such an injustice rendered to participants & music when the Winners that they declared were pure MATCH FIXED ONES..
The same is being continued in the present season YTH & SaReGaMa , which is an insult to every art lover. In SaReGaMa...the producers from MIDITEK have made it a pucca habit to nurture non-singers to pass thru their elimination rounds of episodes and for 4-6 weeks now have crumpled the prospects of many children from the length & breadth of the state.
Neither Hamsalekha nor Rajesh Krishnan seem to be satisfied to say 'enough is enough' of their misdeeds till now. Week after week they & the Miditeck directors are engrossed pulling up mediocre renditions of Govinda ,Sachin, Subramanya , Aishwarya , Navya upto the finals thus snubbing the 'real' talents.
They are evidently encouraging the 'so-so-singers' to hobnob the speckless singers, indulge in shameful actions that call for gratis, influence & what not.
One more Singer is Yogendra whom they have been dragging on without sending even once to Danger zone, while he has not sung in any versatile song till now. All the 3 boys croon so girlish.
Hamsalekha who had enriched the Kannada cine world with his dual meaning lyrics is found busy patting his & his disciple's back often to take credit for all that they are not due. When he said Govinda's voice can be a gift to Karnnnada Filmdom and went further to blabber that he can be so even to the Indian FIlm world !!?? What a mockery of knowledge & Music !!! Shame on Hamsalekha !!!
Their misdeeds are so explicit now that any layman to music can make out they are highly partial.
While Singer Rajesh Krishnan have time & again proved to partisan in his judgement, claimed last Sunday that his 'Filters' are ready long before.!!?? Nether he knows to talk nor can he talk sense or essence of music.
Both the chor Guru & Chandal Shishya who do not have any minimum sense to behave in an telemedia, have acted & uttered in all flimsy manner, possible.
How is that the Kannadigas in six plus crores are tolerating the 'insults' done on their children & Music in every episode ? He and his bandwagon of 'chelas' , his Chor Guru should not allowed to judge any music episode, and that is the way a Chandala Shishya to be delat with.
The Kannada & Culture dept. , Kannada Pradhikara should now intervene to put a check on the regular injustice rendered to many kids all in the name of competitions before they go for the MEGA FINAL on Aug 24.

Open letter to Kannada Music Director HAMSALEKA-Singer RAJESH KRISHNAN
Revered Mahaguru HAMSALEKHAJI,
Benign Pranams !
We are the parents of Master P.S. ABHIRAM Bharathavamshi who is a participant in your esteemed Reality show ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Lil’ Champs’. Our son is a child prodigy in music. At the age of five he had sung two of the PANCHARATNA KRITIS of Saint Tyagaraja. By the time he reached his 8th year of age, he had sung more than 65 devotionals on DASARA PADA. Till now he has donned the garb of Lord Krishna as many as 70-75 times (thru his dance performances & fancy dresses) , plays Flute, Veena , Key board besides singing.
Having been an ART CRITIC for two decades with thousands of Bylines (1125+) , I SUDARSHAN BHARATIYA and Abhi’s mother Vidushi SUSHMA SUDARSHAN (Classical Danseuse-Guru- with MA in Music) have always preferred to remain out of limelight, thus not influencing him , by letting him grow on his own merit. It is for this reason none knows us there in Sa Re Ga… Sets. UNLIKE others who kept hobnobbing so far.
Those 25 songs presented by Abhiram bespeak the variety and versatility of his talents.
Over the past 84 days of our association in this program, not even once has he been reprimanded by any of the judges for an amiss of Shruti, Tala or Raga
. He has successfully adopted all the advices of the judges who have openly said that he made them proud. We request you to take a close look into Abhi’s renditions of 25 songs vis-à-vis the rest. His ever smileful, confident , gritty presentations essay the musically built-up qualities of strength & “SATVIK’ essence as against the rest in the fray.
Now, Abhi stands eliminated on 20th night quite mysteriously!
We again request you to observe the two episodes of Saturday last. Having honoured by your kindselves with the BEST PAIR AWARD in Western styled numbers on Saturday last , he chose one of the difficult classical MALAYA MARUTHA GANA, he earned excessive accolades form Guru & Mahaguru. ONLY to be shunted to the DANGER zone. Further within the next 5th minute he was presenting CHAITRADA KUSUMANJALI, & earned wonderful compliments and declared ‘ELIMINATED!!!???’ after securing highest marks among the four !!!!!.
Throughout the day he had earned higher marks as against the retained fellow participant who and whose parents confessed that Abhiram was cheated. In fact two other participants & their parents also supported this opinion. But they feared to express , just to safeguard their status.
The VERDICT of Satanic Saturday
Abhiram’s voice is yet child like !!!?? Hence he is out of the flock!!!??
Sir,
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VOICES OF OTHER TWO IN THE FRAY ARE ALSO CHILDISH BECAUSE THEY ARE 12 & 14+.
CAN THE ‘NATURE ‘ BE KEPT IN OUR CONTROL FOR A BOY TO ATTAIN PUBERTY AT 12 ???
HAVE YOU MADE ANY SUCH RESTRICTIONS , PRE-CONDITIONS TO HONOUR ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE A MASCULINE VOICE TO SING IN LITTLE CHAMPS???
THROUGHOUT THE LAST TWO MONTHS THE PARENTS WERE SNUBBED & RUFFLED BY THE PARTICIPANT CO-ORDINATORS AND THE ELIMINATION THREAT BEGAN RINGING 4 DAYS EARLIER TO ABHIRAM THRU THEM WHEN HIS PERFORMANCES HAVE ATTAINED A CRESCENDO IN THIS CONTEST.
When we waited the entire Sunday at the Studios to ascertain from you both the judges, the actual reason by this UNCEREMONIOUS SHUNT-OUT of a 12 year 2 months old from LITTLE CHAMPS.
After being ruffed up, preventing us by meeting the judges, the Director and his men have threatened us against dire consequences of the CAREER of our son!!!.
At dusk, we could meet you both when our favourite Singer ASKED US TO CONCENTRATE ON ABHIRAM's FUTURE …LIKE…ABHIRAM SINGING IN STUDIOS AS A PLAYBACK ARTIST…AND NOT WASTE TIME IN PARTICIPATING SUCH CONTESTS.!!!!??
We thanked him for all that .
But you have left us still CLUE LESS about the reason for his elimination.
DID ANY PARTICIPANT ASK FOR GAINING AN ENTRY INTO PLAY BACK SINGING CAREER THRU THIS CONTEST ????
OR
LIKE ANYBODY ELSE WE TOO EXPECTED JUST A FAIR PLAY OF PRESENTATION OF SONGS WITH ELAN and fairer verdicts too????!!!!
EACH TIME Govinda ( THE OTHER CONTESTANT) FAIRED IN A MEDIOCRE MANNER THEY GAVE UP ELIMINATIONS AND GAVE MASS EXCUSE.
For none of his (ABHIRAM) excellent performances was he given apt marks despite good compliments.
Hence compliments & marks never matched.
Many occasions the retained participant was booed & gave convincing marks even as the eyebrows raised. Even on Saturday night you chided him...Growvinda has become Downvinda...Go GO ..etc & retained him.
While many are given wild card entries, ………..what crime our son did…..except presenting sane, sobre , soulful songs with good & valid lyrical quality??
JUST TO SAVE ONE VOICE WITH MEDIOCRE PRESENTING ABILITIES, HOW MANY WORTHY VOICES NEED TO BE SACRIFICED??
Dear Sir, for decades I have been an admirer of your composing abilities & Sahitya. What a treat for an Admirere's family.
Everyone in the set , including the catering boy, make-up boys, light boys know and Govinda himself knows that Abhitram is a far better singer than Govinda. His parents are astonished each time he is in and any other boy is out of contest.
A school at Mandya dist. when visisted , the children there told enmassethat Abhiram and Kshama will make it to the Finals. How come our own prolific Judges did not like to know it, is not a million dollar question !?!
Hence, KINDLY RENDER JUSTICE NOW.
While your show is watched by 6 crore Kannadigas & many more in the World afar. Should they (responsible for the ouster) not think that atleast 20-25 % of them know the essence of music & thus would cut a very sorry figure of what has happened here??.
Even If one crore audience feel the injustice rendered to a kid by the fully grown up professionals …..which is open , transparent and evident…won’t we amass more of Sins …thus creating a sinful atmosphere….May Good Sense Prevail now in our world..
Benign Pranams !
