The show was off to a very promising start - pair a singer with a producer/composer and they show off their skills - breaking down popular songs and preset compositions to come up with something new.
A lot of people complained that the show should have allowed flexibility to showcase non-Indian music. I think this would have made sense for a global audience, but for Indian audience it is easier to relate/appreciate creativity when you already know the original songs.
The show has gone downhill pretty fast though and the main reason is poor singers. A few of the composers have done some good work - Kiran, Kryll, Skip, Akhil and NSG shine through. And two of the above have been kicked off the show in the first half ! NSG is saddled with the most pathetic singer of the lot - Thomson can't get through a song without messing up his notes or octaves. Kryll/Rahul and Skip/Akasa are the only reason I'm still watching the show. They day they are gone the ratings goes to 1 for me.
The remaining DJs are a mixed bag - the worst of the lot, Naved keeps gurgling up bass heavy crap that we've been listening to since the 90's, riding on Rupali's singing. The judges seem to be holding back, either all pro or all negative for a performance and the eliminations don't match up to their comments.
Promising concept but the execution is very poor.
