At the same time though Vijay TV encourages such things for TRP sake (namma viewers'ku dance aadunathaan pudikkuthaam :x ) - they also ensure maintaining the quality in terms of singing when they move towards picking up the finalists. They are quite capable of balancing both and that's the reason why the show has more reach compared to all other musical contests that are shown on Thamizh channels. Raaginisri was the winner in SPB's show (that's what someone mentioned here during ASS - Senior) but she could not reach even the top 5 in ASS. Vijay TV basically used her for entertainment and TRP purposes. Kadaisila finals'ku vantha 3 pErum - appadiyE asaiyaama oru idathula ninnu paaduRavanga.
