sangeetha maha yuddham

[Plum]

It is a programme that has caught my attention recently. I watch it in all 4 languages. I guess these must be franchises of Sangeet ka maha yudh in Hindi which I think Shankar Mahadevan eventually won with his team.
What I think makes this concept work is that you have one established singer in each team captaining which sort of ensures basic quality.(although, captains like Anupama and some of the telugu captains leave a lot to be desired).

Interestingly, Kerala, in my view, the hotbed of musical talent in south india, has fallen behind.
The tamil version seems to be the best, followed by Telugu. Malayalam and Kannada seem to alternate between abysmal and mediocre.

One additional reason for my patronage - almost in all 4 languages, the captains seem to revel in choosing Raja songs. It is a good tool for re-living Raja's dominance across all 4 languages. While he was but a footnote in kannada and MFM in reality compared to their giants, you just need to see the proportion of Raja songs in these programmes in these languages to believe it.

Finally, something taht interests me from the Solar family!

And one final note, this guy Krishnamurthy, seems to be an awesome talent. Did he win Vijay Super singer earlier? Is he the same guy?
