Many a man from towns, villages and even hamlets come to city with
the dream of making it big someday. When really ‘talented’ people get a chance
to prove it, they leave no stone unturned. But the fruits of their labour is
not sweet… thanks to the clowns in the guise of ‘judges’. A panel of judges is
made to watch the ‘talented’ people perform and give out a verdict; whether the
contestant has qualified for the next round or not. Now how simple is that? The
show runs on TRP or so they think! And truly deserving contestants are deprived
of what is rightfully theirs. What a pity… What a shame!
One contestant pierced his nose with a hook and lifted many heavy
articles with that very puny hook. Is it the hook that has to be lauded… or the
nose? If it was not for the talent of the contestant to bear the pain… balance
the articles… know the knack of lifting it with ease… what else is it? The
judges cannot bear to “watch” the performance and all the three press the
buzzer and declare him out! He is not even allowed to display his next item…
One labels the act as “show of strength” and insists that it is not talent.

| SO DIFFICULT TO WATCH! |
The other covers her face with her pallu so that only her
“expressive” eyes can be seen expressing the disgust and the third declares
that she did not watch the performance because… because… because… she has no
valid reason! How can three “judges” who cannot judge a performance, decide if
India has got talent or not?
If a girl shakes her belly, she’s in. If a man
sings a melody, he’s in. But if one breaks tiles, bricks or glass… it’s gory!
Why are only singing and dancing considered talent? Why is martial art, not
considered talent? Why is performing difficult stunts not considered talent? No
one is blessed with extra strength. God has gifted every single person with the
same qualities and same strengths. It is up to the person to find out what can
he excel in. It is up to him to pursue his dreams, his aspiration and his
passion. That is where his talent lies… in searching his hidden abilities! And
bringing it out... successfully!
Who are these judges to brand such talented
people talent-less when they themselves are incompetent? They are impotent and
not fit to judge anyone! A movie director, an item dancer and an actor judge
the talent of only dancers, actors and singers; bodybuilders, karate sensei,
stuntmen and the rest can go home. Pole
dancing is given a ‘thumbs up’ and a female wrestler/ body builder is told that
she lacks talent! If only directing, acting and dancing are considered
talent then someone needs to wake them up from their bad dream and make them
face the reality. How do they define talent?
India has indeed got talent but the judges of the show are hell
bent on proving it otherwise! The show is a treat to watch when the talented
come alive. But it is more than a pain to watch the egoistic judges give out
poor verdicts.
Added to misery are two jokers for anchors who are keen on
displaying their histrionics and loyalty to 'THE JUDGES’; from season one till
date. Whether India’s got talent as not, it’s pretty clear these judges don’t!
These judges not only discourage the other talents but also makes lot of politics. Good work...
ReplyDeleteTrue! The deserving are deprived their rights because they are not good looking! It's a talent hunt, not a beauty pageant!!!
DeleteI think there are few shows which encourages other talents too right..?
ReplyDeleteAnd your question is why most of the channels concentrate on Music and Dance...?
Because every human being a singer and dancer. If you toss b/w singing and dancing, then singing will get more points..
There are many films which does not contain fights and dance. But music is must. At least background scoring.
For me Music is the richest form of art. Everything else is secondary...
For singers there are shows like Indian Idol, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, etc., For dancers there are shows like Dance India Dance, Boogie Woogie, etc., A singer can't take part in a dance competition and a dancer can't participate in a singing contest. But shows like Entertainment ke liye kuch bhi karega, India's got talent, etc., give a platform for not only singers and dancers but also for body builders, magicians, actors, martial arts enthusiasts and anybody who has talent! Then why the discrimination? They could've named the show India's got singing/ dancing talent instead :) if other talented people are humiliated and sent back home.
DeleteOh Wow! And I thought I was the only one thinking on these lines. You're absolutely right. Singing and dancing should be out of this show. There are so many shows where they can show off their singing and dancing. If the Judges cannot bear to see certain talents, then they should not be sitting there and judging. It's sheer nonsense.
