Now a days Idea Star Singer is the most successful reality show in malayalam television. Its almost ten months since the show has started in Asianet. What makes this one a successful show above other reality shows? We can count the plus points as more popular celebrity judges, quality judgment, performance etc.

But the major selling factor of the show is not any of these. The audience of sentiments packed serials became fans of star singer. Why did they became regular viewers of star singer? The answer is simple. They are getting the same content from star singer also. Sentiments overdose and melodrama. The elimination rounds are fully packed with melodrama. Housewives and even husbands find time to weep in-front of the television. Asianet had recognized this sentimental factor in the very starting of the show and their creative directors have added enough sentiments in the elimination rounds. They carried a sentimental factor in the form of Sannidanandhan for using in many elimination rounds.

As the show is about to finish, the channel is keen in playing all the dirty tactics to promote their own “special” participants. Talent is not a matter there. Last Monday, everyone witnessed the participant of lowest marks overtakes a young girl who was in the third position. The same guy got the similar “helping hand” of the program producers in the semi final round also. Asianet is trying to hide this foul play under the curtain of “sms count”. In the last two rounds before the finals, two participants were eliminated. That time both of them were in the lowest positions. A popular participant like Vani Jayaram didn’t get the “sms” help to climb above others. But an average performer of the finals created “magic” of “sms” to get into the grand finale.

When this guy was called on stage for the judges’ comments in the elimination round, he was 100% dumb struck. Judges made comments that he had nothing to hope and he knew that he was not eligible for the next round. But even after the surprise entry into the grand finale, his mood was the same. He knew that he is not getting the entry through marks or sms. Audience spotted a convict there on the stage. But this is not atall going to affect the channel’s attitude or approach towards the talented participants.

The audition round of Star Singer 2008 have already started. Candidates who apply for it must keep one thing in mind. If you don’t have smart contacts in Asianet, there is no use in dreaming about the finals.
