While the wild card round results has been announced and Sai Sharan and Santosh are selected for the finals of the Airtel Super Singer 3, there was a certain way it was announced. The show had the results of the wild card announced on Tuesday and prefinals started in the show with the finalists. The announcement of the wild card results happened like this where the top and bottom 4 contestants were announced depending on the vote count of each of them. That was surprising for me and I think it had even surprised you guys.
They did not announce all 4 together rather one from top 4 and one from bottom 4. But, eventually there were 4 of them splitted between the contestants with their vote count from public. The surprising thing was Kaushik name came in the bottom 4 list.
Bottom 4
Hariharasudan, Kaushik, Dhanyashree and Praveen
Top 4
Sai Sharan, Santosh, Srinivas and Malavika
This is one reason where I think Vijay TV should announce the number of votes for each contestant since the results are misleading. I strongly feel Kaushik could have been in top 4 and Dhanyashree would even had a chance for it. Kaushik has been with the public backing for long time and same is with Dhanya. Whatever may be, the show has already announced the finalists and its really unfortunate for others.
I feel if the Vijay TV has chosen the finalists atleast they should do a good job in annnouncements. If they are to be trusted by viewers they should make things more better.

VIJAY TV SHOULD HAVE ANNOUNCED THE VALID VOTES / SCORES EACH CONTESTANTS HAVE GOT / POLLED FROM THE VIEWERS / JUDGES AS THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE TRANSPERANCY IN SELECTION IN WILD CARD ROUND.
VIJAY TV SHALL ANNOUNCE THE VALID VOTES / SCORES EACH CONTESTANTS HAVE GOT / POLLED FROM THE VIEWERS / JUDGES TO BE MORE TRANSPERENT IN SELECTING IN THE TOP SINGER .
:: VIJAYARANGAM:: BANGALORE.
Is there really a need to announce the number of votes for each contestant? If they did how do you think the lowest contestant would have felt? The idea of this whole show is to get that ONE singer to be the SUPER SINGER for this season, rest doesn’t matter.
Why only 3 votes online?
There are several questions on Airtel Super Singer show voting for the wild card and grand finals. The main question from the viewers is why only 3 votes are allowed from the internet but with mobile phones you can vote unlimited. Why is there a limiation for internet alone.. Good question but lets see what happens with both kinds of voting mechanism.
Internet based voting
With the internet based voting, we can logon to vijay.indya website and case our votes and we are allowed to vote 3 times. To vote more than thrice, create a new username with the website and agian vote for 3 more times. You can do this unlimited time, creating a new user id and vote from it. It will take few more minutes to vote then for more number of times. There are no charges for this except for the internet connection cost ;)
Mobile based voting
We can send unlimited votes from our mobile phones and each SMS/call are charged at a premium price between 4-6 Rs with different service providers. So, Vijay TV earns money from the service provider and service provider also gets a good share of income is what I guess.
If the internet voting is kept unlimited then there would be many more issues in the voting. The results can be speculated easily and with the automation scripts the voting can be automated to vote for any particular contestants every second even. So, having unlimited voting in internet will not really yield geniune result. But dont ask me if otherwise the results are genuine, I cannot answer that. Since the voting from mobile is expensive not many people would vote many number of times and that vote also brings some income for the channel. We can be angry why we are not able to vote it could be of 3 reasons – Super Singer team doesnt want to speculate the votes by doing that or Super Singer team wants to earn money from voting or finally the last option being Super Singer team already decided the winner and this voting is just a formality.
Super Singer LIVE for international viewers
YES, international viewers will have the Super Singer 3 grand finals LIVE by Vijay TV. In the latest update from Vijay TV where the shows are usually delayed by a week and the wild card results are not yet out in the channel will still telecast the grand grand finals of the show live. This will satisfy the expectations of lakhs of people who are eagerly waiting for it and watch it in internet usually. This is a very good move by Vijay TV to increase the TRP internationally and will set as a trendsetter for other shows and channels.
This will be the time in which the super singer will be aired for international viewers -
23rd September 2001
US – Eastern Time – 11 AM
US – Pacific Time – 8 AM
Dubai – 7 PM
Singapore/Malaysia – 11 PM
Please check you timezones and make sure you watch the show on time.
The grand finals in India is scheduled at 6.30 PM but the timings internationally is 2 hours delayed and what I am suspecting is that the live show might have only the super singers performances and winner announcement but not have the initial performances by other celebrities/contestants.
Grand Finals environment is back…
I had posted few days back that there are few surprises in this season of the Airtel Super singer 3 and some of them include the grand finals environment with the contestants. I learnt that some of those events have happened and we will see it soon this week in the show..I think the show is now really getting ready for the grand finals and stage is all set for the contestants to perform.
On 15th September 2011, the finalists of the Airtel Super singer contestants Pooja, Sathyaprakash, Sai Sharan and Santosh performed live in Chennai City Centre at 6 PM. I hope some of you guys would have had a chance to watch them there live. It would have been a nice experience for the contestants to sing in front of public in a lively stage.
Also the guys are going to speak in Radio Mirchi LIVe.. This might be the first time for them to be on a radio show and its going to be fun for the listeners. I remember all of these had happened in the last season along with a photo shoot session for the finalists which even might come up this week.. I am not sure about it.. but given the live performance in city center and radio will be nice to see before the finals.
