Chennai Auditions Day 5

With the dates moved to 11-11-11, lets see who all are lucky in Chennai auditions to get selected to competitive rounds of Airtel Super Singer junior 3. It has been raining heavily in Chennai but the kids and parents were not tired. Some kids who appeared and featured in the show said that they are learning music for last 5-8 years and these are really happy moments for all of us that they are trained in young age which will make sure Indian music lives long. Few contestants who are appearing after losing in the last season of the show seems to be determined to learn music so that they can be selected this time. Watch the video in here which has them featured with their performances in last season and now. You will see the difference in their performance. We continued to have both the panel of judges to complete the auditions today and make the show more interesting for the viewers.










Judges were really really polite with the contestants and their words will make the rejected kids to come back in their next season to try again. I will write another post about each judges..Some kids came in to the competition from other states.. yeah outside Kerala. thats the reach this show has got and the fame they get into is immense. Judges were also imitating some kids and those small clips looked very funny. Out of 160 contestants itself 39 of them were spot selected.. the numbers are going to be very high looking at the current status. Ananth Vaidyanathan was there in the show to train some of the waitlisted contestants and select from his side whom he think they are capable. The competition of this season is going to be really good and if things go well we will have another entertaining season of Airtel Super Singer. The final count on the selection was not clearly out yet and we might see those things in the next weeks show.

Chennai Auditions Day 4

The Chennai auditions which turned out to be a big representation from the kids has 2 selection panel of judges in the last stage of auditions. If contestants get clear into this round, they will be part of competitive rounds of Airtel Super Singer junior 3. Pushpavanam Kuppuswamy looks to have lot of fun in the sets and he was bringing smile in that selection room. We had seen quite many siblings being featured in the show and some time the judges had selected both of them for the next rounds. Similar to that, today even we had some siblings appearing in the event. Many of the kids who got selected looks to be very active children.. these kids danced, acted and were multi-talented which made the judges to choose them. Some of them lacked perfect singing but still due to their multiple talents, they were selected keeping in mind that they will cope up as the competition goes.










Some of the parents of kids were also excited and they began to dance when their children sing. They didnt bother to dance in fron of judges while their kids sing and they were proud of it. there were mixed emotions with the kids and some of them were not ready to accept their rejection from the competition. Finally the show featured a sibling who both got selected in the mobile booth. One of them was able to get selected and other was not. this kind of situation is really difficult for the siblings and parents too. Tomorrow we will have the Chennai auditions getting over and lets see how many contestants get selected from this. I am thinking that the count overall will be 100 when they get into competitive rounds. To make it 100, the judges have to pick 42 contestants..

Chennai Auditions Day 3

Chennai auditions initial level is over yesterday and from today we will have the next and final level of Airtel Super singer junior 3. There are 235 kids chosen for this round of the competition and from this group of contestants only 40 will be selelcted as Chennai list of contestants. Sowmya, Shailaja and Manicka Vinayagam are the judges and contestants have to convince them to get selected for the next round. There are many contestants being put in waitlist since the judges are restricted to pick 40 kids for the next round and they will have to make sure that they choose the best 40. But, I think the number would vary and they will bring the overall count to 100. We also have Nithyashree, Mahathi and Pushpavanam Kuppuswamy to judge a part of the contestants separately so that they can complete the auditions on the same day. I think this is the first time they have got 2 panel of judges who can select contestants for the next rounds. Anand and Ramya continued to host the show and they are appearing in the show for more time than the hosts came in other locations.











Tejas, a contestant who came in for the auditions impressed the judges with his allround performance and he was acting along with singing. They ended up wait listing him but they also said they cant reject him. As last seasons, we had some contestants coming from other countries and giving their best. Ofcourse, the judges were not really very strict with them to get into the next competitive round. With more and more contestants kept in waiting list, there was lot of tension amidst everyone waiting for the results. But, they made it a point to announce some of the waitlist results frequently so that the kids and parents are not made to wait for long time. As always, there were several Chennai kids who made some entertaining performances and also impressed the judges very much. We will see all of these kids for quite sometime in the show.

Chennai Auditions Day 2

Chennai auditions always had been becoming better and this year it looks like the numbers have made a record again. Also, this number is beyond the expectation of Vijay TV and Airtel Super Singer program managers. It started with pre-selected contestants today who got selected from video booths, cassettes/CD, mobile booths. They went onto sing before the main level judges separately and the contestants with S.P. Shailaja's list of audition contestants. Anand went on saying that some of the contestants had forgotten the lyrics of songs & we had a sneek of those moments of auditions to start with the day. S.P. Shailaja, Nithyashree Mahadevan, Mahathi were continuing the auditions in the first level separately. They were really nice to the contestants and I am sure they also enjoyed looking at the kids trying to prove their capability.










Ramya and Anand were hosting the show and as always they appeared for few seconds during the auditions. There were some funny moments in today's show and you guys could watch it here. Some of the kids were reappearing from the Trichy and Coimbatore auditions and many of them who tried in the last season and had qualified with their age for this time too, came to give their best in this season. A.M. Rajah Jikki's grand children appeared for the audition and one of them got selected for the main level of auditions. Some of the kids appeared to be afraid but they were bold to sing in front of the judges. Whole of this season's auditions we could see many kids dance while they sing... the dance and performance looks very funny most of the times.. Some of the waitlist results were announced so that some of them need not stay back for long time. I dont know why they made some drama in announcing the waitlist results even.. Chennai auditions would continue whole of this week and soon we will start having the main level auditions form which the kids will face the juges together.

Chennai Auditions Day 1

Chennai auditions of the Airtel Super singer junior 3 started this week and after Coimbatore/Trichy had their auditions, this will be the last chance for the kids to get into the show. Anand of Cinema karam koffee hosted the show and it was only him to start the show with and opening the gates for the kids to reach their dream. Ramya joined Anand to host the show and lets see how do they take forward the show. Auditions in Chennai started amidst the rains at Chennai with the kids very excited to get into the competition. The preliminary judges for the Chennai auditions were Nikhil Mathew, Anith, Ajeesh, Sai Sharan, Santhosh, Sathyaprakash and Pooja.. yeah thats the big list of judges to judge the initial stages of auditions. They came into the stage and sang "vilayadu mankatha" as a group and children started dancing on stage for the dance. All the judges shared their experience while they were in the auditions earlier in their successful seasons and Sai Sharan, Sathya had lot of cheer from the crowd. Super singer junior Srikanth was also there in the auditions as always he did in other places and the preliminary auditions were really really busy with all 7 judges starting to select the contestants for the next rounds in audition. With the green selection card, the selected contestants went onto meet the main level judges Mahathi and Pushpavanam Kuppuswamy. I guess there would be more judges added to the main level and these two just started their day early.






As expected Chennai audition had tremendous response from the kids and they didnt mind the rain at all...This time there were lot of very young kids to compete in the competition. The parents were trying to make their kids somehow sing and wanted to get the pride to be shown in television. Three more preliminary judges were added to the existing 7 with Raghinishree, Prasanna and Malavika to make the judges count to 10. Some of the kids were really very very funny and they were super innocent. Archana, a contestant was not allowing Mahathi to speak.. she was given 3 chances and was desperate to win the title. Finally she was eliminated but she had the confidence in her to come next time to win the title. Ramya and Anand went on finding siblings who have come for the auditions and started to speak with them. Today we had 50% of auditions being aired and we will have the rest of preliminary auditions following tomorrow and the selected kids will face the main judges.





Divya is not around the Auditions..

This season of the Airtel Super Singer Junior 3, we have not seen host Divya yet on the show. With the auditions of Trichy and Coimbatore getting over, I am not sure if she would appear in the Chennai auditions. Did any of you guys knew if she was back for it ? Divya has been getting very mixed reviews and her anchoring skills was always criticized. Having said all of these, still I dont think the program managers will really replace her with someone else to host the show. Divya came into Airtel Super singer show in the midst of last season of juniors and then continued with the seniors season. Now, we have been having Kalyani, Ramya, Anandakannan, Anand and Bhavana anchoring the auditions that happened in Trichy and Coimbatore. If Divya is not around during the Chennai auditions, we will have to wait and see if she is going to host the show or will someone else take over from her.

Some of the complaints that people point out on Divya's anchoring skills were that she doesnt speak right things, baised towards some contestants and try to comment performances before the judges and finally mistakes that she makes while speaking. Even in the grand finals I remember she and Sivakarthikeyan announced different title for Satyaprakash which brought lot of confusion for the contestants and organizers themselves. Also, we are always told that she always goes for loads of takes during the shooting. I think the bloopers week didnt had much from her but I guess that too got editted. But, Divya always has her fan following and some people really like her and wants her to continue hosting the show. We will have to wait and see if we will see Divya in this season too or will someone else replace her.

How is it going ?

Trichy - 31
Coimbatore - 27
Chennai - ??

It used to be 15 contestants selected from the auditions of Trichy and Coimbatore. Finally we used to have 20 from chennai that making overall 50 contestants for the competitive rounds of Airtel Super Singer. But, in the last few seasons judges are not able to restrict the count and they tend to pick more and more talented contestants for the contest. This time too its similar and we have 58 contestants selected from Trichy and Coimbatore itself. With the Chennai auditions yet to be aired this week and we can expect atleast 40 kids to get chosen for the further rounds. Or maybe have it 42 to make it top 100 contestants of Airtel SUper Singer Junior 3.

Good thing to this season of the Airtel Super Singer is that they dont have this competition worldwide this time. Otherwise, its going to take few more months to get the show done. But, if the kids are really talented and impresses public, they would keep appearing the channel for long time as we see Srikanth in most of the weeks of Airtel Super Singer junior 3 till now. This year somehow I have a feel that the contestants turnout in the cities were not so great and I was expecting more kids to appear for the competition. Lets see how the Chennai kids come over for it and we have already seen some of them appearing in other cities to avoid the crowd and even to try it out to get a chance in lesser competition. WE will have to wait and see next week how things go.

Week 3, Day 5, November 04, 2011
Coimbatore Auditions Day 5

Today is the final day of Coimbatore auditions of Airtel Super Singer junior 3 and we will get to know the final list of contestants who will be going into next level of auditions. Satyaprakash came in the auditions, since he is from Coimbatore, Vijay TV had roped him to appear to kids to give them more confidence and ofcourse to give a special performance. Having said this I think we will also see Sai Sharan in Chennai auditions. Satyaprakash sang "senthamizh thenmozhi.." which he sang during his auditions and he was back to his audition days experience. Then the auditions started with the contestants and judges were expecting multiple songs from them to make sure they select the right kids for the further rounds in the compeition. Subiksha, another contestant was very much afraid and judges asked her to get her sister to stand along with her during the performance so that she feels better to sing. Pushpavanam Kuppuswamy was enjoying with each kid's singing and he was doing what he used to do in "Vaanga pesalam vaanga".






Anandakannan was hosting the show after the commercial breaks and Kalyani disappeared from the show.. yeah anyhow they were appearing only for few seconds in the auditions. Muthukumaran, a contestant came for the audition and proved that he has good capability and later his cousin sister also appeared in the auditions but was not selected for further rounds. Then there was a kid who has been trying out for all seasons of Airtel Super Singer junior.. she said she came in 2 auditions of season 1 and 3 auditions in season 2 and got her luck try out this time and got selected this time. vida muyarchi vishwaroopa vettri.. but I felt she was not comfortable with tamil words.. As happened in Trichy, Ananth Vaidyanathan was in Coimbatore too to quickly train the waitlisted contestants and see if they can have capability for next rounds... There were 100 kids selected in the first level of audition and overall there were 27 kids selelcted from Coimbatore with the auditions getting over. Expect more kids to be chosen in Chennai auditions that will be aired next week.

Week 3, Day 4, November 03, 2011
Coimbatore Auditions Day 4

Anandakannan and Kalynai started hosting the show with similar talks as on any day... But I dont know what they make few dance steps before starting to speak.. I am not sure how many people like it.. Do you guys like it ? within a minute, we started having the auditions in front of all the judges. With the 4 judges Manicka Vinayagam, Nithyashree Mahadevan, Mahathi and Pushpavanam Kuppuswamy were really strict with the contestants and whenever the kids miss any sruti they pointed that out immediately and most of them got rejected. The show featured Neela, a contestant who came for the auditions and she had some tests after singing to see if she has the capability... she has been waitlisted but was told in the next rounds they expect more from her. Geethika, another contestant also featured in the show and about her singing abilities. Judges pointed out quite a few mistakes in her singing and was not selected for further rounds in the competition.






Many of the coimbatore kids had very good voice but quite a bit of them had trouble in their singing capability. There were even quite a few kids of 6 years age and trying hard to get themselves into next competitive rounds. Judges were pretty open with most of the contestants and said what is the problem & what will be the result. Sricharan, another contestant who impressed Mahathi earlier and was not able to impress all four judges together. There was also some kids came from Chennai and one girl said the reason being to avoid crowd in Chennai and give the auditions in Coimbatore. Hmmm... but she was not able to clear the judges and I guess she cannot avoid the crowd now. some kids who gave their best but that was not sufficient to get into next rounds, judges felt bad to tell "sorry" and "better luck next time".
