Composer
Vishal Dadlani, who is one of the judges on upcoming singing reality
show "Indian Idol Junior", says he finds it difficult to judge children.
He has earlier judged singing reality shows like "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge" and "Jo Jeeta Wohi Super Star".
"It's very difficult to judge children as you have to handle them in a
gentle way. Besides, you have to tell them everything truly," Dadlani
said here in an interview, "Most importantly, you have to motivate them,
encourage their love and dedication for music, so that when they come
next time, they sing even better," he added.
It's the first time that a children's version of Sony's flagship singing
reality show "Indian Idol" is coming up. Children aged between 5 to 15
years can participate in the show - Indian Idol Junior.
Besides Dadlani, the contest will be judged by Shekhar Ravjiani and singer Shreya Ghoshal.
Ghoshal, who is herself a product of a reality show, says she is
impressed with the versatility of the child contestants. "There is so
much variety in their singing, some are inspired by Nusrat (Fateh Ali
Khan) saab, some by Kishore Da, Lataji (Lata Mangeshkar), Ashaji (Asha
Bhosle) and some by Abida Parveen," she said. "It is not that they
(children) are singing only one type of song, they also have
versatility," added Ghoshal, who has earlier judged the show "X Factor
India".
Ravijani, who composes with Dadlani, said the trio of judges is being
careful that children do not sing songs they cannot understand. "When
the child is not able to sing a song having lyrics that he cannot
understand, we don't listen to that song, and give an option to him to
sing other song that he (or she) wants to sing," Ravijani said.
"Indian Idol Junior" will be hosted by actors Mandira Bedi and Karan Wahi. The show will commence in the first week of June.
