Reality Shows

Reality shows are often fun to watch, not so much for the actual performance, but for the unusual situations and unintentional comedy that comes out at some weird random moment. Here are 2 examples from popular Vijay TV shows.


Super Singer 2008 - One of participant rendered a female duet and she had so much shrill in her voice it was hard to enjoy the whole song. She should have kept quiet with the judges. Right after she completed, she explained how she can sing high-pitch notes well and how she curbed her voice to accomodate and adjust to the other person's voice in the duet. The other person (who in fact sang the high notes really well) promptly got selected. The judges could have (IMO, should have) rejected this singer, instead they were so nice with all their advise and waitlisted her.

உங்களில் யார் அடுத்த Prabhudeva - This is more of a laughter show than a talent show. The person to watch is one of the judge "Sridhar Master". If Super singer judges are extremely humble, this guy is opposite. He is serious, rude and never say a sorry. This is how he gave his verdict to one of the participant. The participant was wearing a jacket with the hood on and also had sunglasses on and performed for a good 3 minutes. His dance was mediocre, but this was only an initial screening. Right after that performance, Sridhar asked him if he ever considered himself a dancer and the guy replied passionately "Yes". Sridhar followed it up with "Ok, எதுக்கு hood போட்டுருக்கீங்க, அத எடுங்க, எதுக்கு கருப்பு கண்ணாடி போட்டுருக்கீங்க, அத எடுங்க. The participant does everything in anticipation of good verdict. Then comes the clincher from Sridhar "இப்ப எல்லாருக்கும் ஒங்க மூஞ்சி தெரியும், you are rejected". Seriously, this Sridhar guy should never be in front of the camera.
