Bagyamananthu: thanks for your diligent uploads.

Suresh, did you mean the little one that said - O (in lieu of yes) ?
The tiny tots are interesting and cute.

I am yet to see any break-out talent in the senior section. It seemed like there were more "established" contestants in earlier years.

Bhagyamananthu: thanks for your continued uploads.

I am surprised that there is not much talk about the performers this year, compared to a very busy thread on this topic for last year's show. Perhaps the performances have been less inspiring?

I personally found the initial rounds (for the senior category) to be less exciting in terms of talent. Although the young lady that sang rasikapriya was excellent. At this point in previous years, there were standout performers like Bharat Sundar and Raghavendra. I am glad that the talent pool has been expanded to include some of last year's finalists such as Vishnudev, Nandini and Raghav Krishna. Many of the others do not seem concert-ready; this is just my opinion.

The judges seem much more empathetic, although the questions seem less complicated. No graha bedams, swarams in tricky edams and complex koraippus yet. I think Aruna Sairam actually makes a very good addition to the panel.

The anchor also seems to be better behaved and they are not billing this as a magic trip to Cleveland, which is a welcome change. I think they have used some good focus groups and incorporated constructive suggestions from forums like these.

I haven't watched the show this year. Will try to catch up on all the episodes some day. But at a glace, I see that GV and Sashikiran are again given the step motherly treatment of having to sit on chairs while the others are given plush sofas. Why exactly is this being done every year?
