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.
