Positive aspects of Reality shows
Some reality shows are for celebrities. Their prime intention is to get as many TRPs as possible and recuperate the careers of some long forgotten celebrities.
Some reality shows are for wanna-bes… Their only intention is to get TRPs… They only focus on showing impudent, rash young boys and girls bitching behind each other’s back… These serve no purpose for anyone other than making B-grade celebrities out of random people.
And, then, there are some reality shows which expose talent hidden in the remote towns and villages of India. Such shows like Sa re ga ma pa, Little Champs, Indian Idol, Laughter Challenge and the likes showcase talent of people whose talent may have gone unnoticed but for these shows! Its an amazing work that they are doing – excessive dramatization put aside – the kind of talent that comes out is remarkable!
Happened to see Grand Finale of Little Champs, pitting 3 children against each other! Two of them – Shreyasi and Hemant are so incredibly talented – It is heart warming to know their humble backgrounds and the fact that something good has come off watching these reality shows! 
Some reality shows are very good… i heard that India’s got talent is good too… I still remember how you told me during the HP days (this was during carnival i guess) that i should go to Indian Idol….
. Probably i will record in the near future… u will definitely get on copy… 
I wonder how I missed this comment of urs
Anyways, good that at least I saw it now
And yes, I meant it… u shud go on one of these shows
Good to hear from you…. I loved songs from Amit sana, Prashant during their times of shows and even after then…. It was a great invention of accumulating such great talents out of nothing….. praiseworthy…….
This reality show idea has been captured in Bangladesh too. I know, Indian Idols were very impressive and I listened to all the songs of first two years. Similarly, we had “Close-Up 1″ in our country and was very favorite in the very first year… This show got the concentration of the nation. And then, we found that those who came out of this show, were no available. They were lost from the focus, first place holder was a ’street hawker’ couldn’t match to unexpected fame and money and went to dogs…..
in recent days, there are 5-6 reality shows are going on through-out the country and few of them are only with the kids. this is simply awful and pathetic to listen a serious type romantic songs from a 7-10 year old kids. It spoils the generation. Don’t know the social perspective or condition of your country but I just hate it in ours. I hate it from the core of my heart. I hate this reality shows with kids…
Please pardon me. I wish I could tell those good sides of reality shows. I think you expected some good views of readers as you marked and stated some positive portions at your post. But my long timed feelings have got outburst here
I know what you mean, Mahmud. Some of these go overboard, when it becomes nasty and is not beautiful anymore!
Little champs is an excellent show. Its the real reality show. The kids on the show sing really well.
Hmm somehow I dont like and I dont watch ANY reality show.
U shud try these singing reality shows but only if u have some tolerance for the endless drama that goes on
hmm…..guess everyone wants fame and money!!…its like a virus!
Yes and at what cost?
I dont want most reality shows coz its utter crap… the singing reality shows are still better… but I only watch the songs.. not the crap that happens in the middle when they just try to make it emotional and all that it sucks… !!!!
we did see tvs saregama… and that kid Hemant was unbelievable !!!!!!!
apart from the singing ones I have watched Khatron Ke Khiladi… its still watchable… the rest like Rakhi Sawant, Big Boss et all really suck !!!
Yes, that kid Hemant actually motivated me to write on this…
The singing reality shows for children is a good forum to show case their talents.. The rounds that they go through make them really competitive and understand the nuances of their skill ..The songs chosen in lot many cases go back to the old-time- melodies , 90’s hits etc that are etched in many hearts .. The children also incidentally learn management by ensuring the school books are well attended to
Somehow I have never been greatly impressed with the dance reality shows by children .. They in many ways do not bring the child in them .. The choreography and costumes many a times removes the inherent innocence in the children .. The reason predominantly could be due to the movie field that have been adulterated and the children choose latest numbers which have their own flavours
I agree with you Vasu. I like the singing shows better too… Dancing is losing its charm simply because young children are shown doing obscene gestures and expressions, which does not go down very well with their age…
