Big Golden Voice
20/8/2014
Lata Mangeshkar once said that the music reality shows are
misleading candidates into believing that they will find a career in films when
the contest is restricted to just a TV show. To an extent she was right but
over the years, the rules and regulations of the contests have ensured these
contests make a promise to candidates.
Recently Big FM hosted the grand finale of the BIG Golden Voice
Season 2 kicked off by singer and music director Shankar Mahadevan. The contest
was conducted on a national level and the winner promised an opportunity to
sing with Shankar Mahadevan. The finale event held in Mumbai’s leading hotel
saw a galaxy of singers like Suresh Wadkar, Vaishali Samant and Kavita Seth who
sang a few lines for the audience.
Approximately 91,000 entries from across the country
participated in the preliminary Audition Round. The contestants were judged on
various parameters laid down by the expert judges. The semi final round
narrowed down to twelve extremely talented contestants from all over India that
included Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Agra, Chambal, Surat, Guwahati, Hisar, Jammu,
Marwar, Chandigarh and Rourkela.
Music director Shankar
Mahadevan our judge for the contest was astonished by the extremely talented
team and congratulated BIG Golden Voice for initiating such a super opportunity
for the singers. He said he was privileged to be chosen for the task as it gave
him an opportunity to connect talent at the grass roots.
