Pity vs Self Esteem

Do you have any idea on the Best program of these days..raising the ERP ratings of Television channels????
None other than "Musical Competitions"....
So the competition became very heavy.. Not between the participants..but between the television channels
Inorder to withstand this competition..obviously one need to think more creatively...
One channel started a Little champs program which topped for few time..
That boom stopped when all the antagonists even started the same kinda shows.....
Now More creativeness is needed...and ETV came out with a Innovative thought and started a program
BLACK ~~ COLORS OF MUSIC
Anchoring...Jhansi
Judges.... Mohankrishna..Actress Laya....Lyricist Anantha Sriram
Innovation of this prg is ..all the participants of varied ages are BLIND and they will participate in this singing competition...

program will have 9 participants..whom they introduce with alot of PITY towards them....
Anchor will tell the name of the person and few shots will be shown at that participants home along with his family... They will shoot how that particular blind person walks holding the walls..or waving hands in air....
and the background music for these few snaps will be as pathos as possible
I seriously dont understand why they want to do all these idiotic things....

To be logical... Blind people are equal to any other human being..only that they cant see...fine...help them if they want you to...but why the hell they should have a separate program for Blind people all alone..They are equally good when compared to anyone else...
Only few blind people will have hearing problem..and that count will be very less
but all the participants were pretty okay and were singing as if anyother normal person...( for that even they are normal people...as these TV people made them special..i took this way of usage)

The funny part is...THE JUDGES...
Judgment in Music competitions is subjected to happen in 2 ways..
One is to judge how good they are technically...mean to say...The Sruthi..Laya..Thaalam and raagam..
Second way is to judge..how Melodious they are when compared to others...
For the first , Judge needs to be good at Music...
For the second,Judge needs to be so passionated towards Music to differentiate between good and bad music being a sensible listener....

The 3 judges of this program may fall in the second category(?) but certainly not in the first category....
And an other thing is... Whatever the participants sings....They will keep on telling..haaa...you sang it perfectly...i couldnt control my tears...i cant explain in words..and all that nonsense...
Judge is a Judge...Logic should alone be the criteria for the judgment...certainly not Emotions....
By being emotional and giving comments..they are showing the so called PITY on them that they are blind..
but i dont think they themselves feel anything pity about themselves...
Inspite,they are So Self Esteemed that, they took the challenge of travelling so far and participate in a game show..irrespective of the pain they need to take to come so long...
That itself shows their Self Esteem which is being treated with alot of PITY by these Media...
One more Funny part of this program is...
One female singer sang in a improper way..for which one of the Judge took the pain of telling that, you need to work more..Good that he dared to give that suggestion...
Funniest part was..when the judges were commenting so...Camera will cpature the still moments of the participant..consoling gestures of the anchor...accompanied by a Pathos Violin background score...
What the HELL it meant??????
Being Blind dosent mean that they can sing improper and gain applaudes which is certainly not deserved...
yes i do accept that everyone will not be so strong enough to come and participate in the normal programs..and this particular program may give them strength and may encourage them to walk on to the dias..but that certainly dosent mean that they are expected to be given some PITY....
PITY and MERCY are for WEAK..but not for people with Disabilities...
This PITY and these Pathetic Violin BGM's and all those crap slow moments of all those programs are meant for People Who ,having blessed with everything still lacking SELF CONFIDENCE
It will be great if Judges can be more logical ( certainly not emotional)
and if those program managers can take some pain in understanding the difference between pity and selfesteem and stop all those crap things which are being done right now in the program..

I am skeptic if they want to do this program for ERP ratings...if not then certainly this should be a nice one if they can stop showing PITY towards them and start doing an other thing...
like...
Continuing this program and selecting few final participants...
Conducting an other Normal Competition between people who are pretty normal..
and the final contest should involve the selected final participants of both the shows...
Then the real competition will happen...As BLIND are EQUAL to any other person...now that competition will make them feel normal which is more essential and which gaurds their Self Esteem which is certainly important for any person....

Apart from all these...Few participants were Very good...Especially the participant who sang Mahapraana Deepam song...
