Whatever has happened to simplicity!! - Talent Shows (Music)

I was listening to some of shreya goshal's songs recently on youtube. Then one thing led to another and I happened to fall upon her audition for Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. Then I saw that entire episode. Then I started watching those in which Shekar (of vishal-shekar music director duo fame) was a participant, saw some of  Bela Shende (of natrang's "mala zau dena ghari" fame) etc. I saw the soft and charming, young Sonu Nigam wearing a modest kurta-churidhaar and hosting the show humbly.
My mind slowly went on to Indian Idol, X Factor and Sa Re Ga Ma Pa as of today. Whereas the episodes of yester years brought pictures of sweet girls dressed in salwar kameez singing their favourite numbers and ambitious young boys singing with passion....what today's shows brought to my mind was Anu Malik and Farah Khan fighting on an opinion they had over a contestent, Himesh Reshammiya blowing his trumpet over a participant, Alka Yagnik screeching to a fellow-judge over her opinon about a small girl participant, Ameya Date and Rahul Vaidya getting voted out, participants forcing themselves to dress in outfits they are so not comfortable in but do so to show "apparently an X factor" in them!!
I thought to myself "whatever has happened to simplicity!!" Yeah I remember Abhijeet Sawant..but Indian Idol 2,3 ummmm who was that??Oh and didnt "India" vote for him/her??Umm did Anu just say he/she had "X Factor??"
Instead of showing clips of songs the contestents sang during the episodes, we see clips of spats between judges on these shows during "Coming up". I believe these shows have ceased to be "ubharte sitaron k liye manch (a good platform for young talent)" and has become more of a scripted reality show with drama for TRP.
It is strange how these judges (some of whom have contributed really good songs to bollywood music industry) accept to be potrayed this way on the shows. If they believe in the sanctity of music and those gifted with it then they would not accept to behave the way they do.
There was a time my enitre family used to sit in front of the TV at 8 to watch Hero Honda Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, me and my sis used to be head over heels for Sonu Nigam..the perfect guy with looks and amazing voice and humility. Whatever happened to him in Indian Idol?Today I dont follow any of these Music Reality shows, the focus has gone astray, the love for music seems fake. While we used to "follow the show" now we just land up on that channel while surfing and stop by to catch a song or two and move on quickly..so much for bringing in aspiring singers and making them a pawn in the TRP savvy industry.....
