| Re: CloseUp1 2006: Top Five: Old songs!
Thanks Teol bhai for your reply.I have read all the posts on this thread as well and tried to understand what people are actually thinking about.The questions you listed were in my mind as well, I just added one of my suspicition in my pervious post.Thanks once again for listing and posting them in order.
1) CloseUp1 producers added some film song scenes on two contestants:
It could simply be an attempt to make the programme more attractive to viewers as a part of marketing policy(may be NTv), if so it should have been done either for all the contestants equally or for none at all, as it is a compitition. If it has been done to promote some partcular contestants to boost up their public image/acceptance as a part of marketing policy of the sponcer or organizer(just assuming),nothing could be unfortunate than that:(
2)+3)+4):
It is highly debatable,'Should the judges comment on mistakes(!)';
'Should they comment equivocally on all the performers regardless of mistakes' or 'They should not be given microphone at all'.All of them have pros and cons. I said in an erlier thead that this compitition is not a laboratory test, you cant be precise in all aspects.What ever it is, not the issue now.Being bit pessimistic and trying to make 2+2=4 ,by assuming that the organizers(could be a combination of sponcer,broadcaster, judges or could be individuals)tried to promote the programme by boosting up the public involvence in the erlier stage of the compitition by capitalizing Salma's and Nishita's performences(as they sang undubtedly well and popular songs) for commercial purpose, and now at the final stage of the programme they are looking for the greater interests('will explain latter)in the long run, How does it sound?
5)
All rounder:capable of singing all types of song. Fare enough.They have been screeming(!) to promote and represent Bangla culture,so contestants were being examined in different form of bangla songs.Hang on a minute! Dont you think Rabindra sangeet and Nazrul sangeet [recognised as the puriest (grammatical) form of bangal song, as their composition(sworolipi) has been done by the writer themselves] is bangla culture?Same applies to floke songs as well.Is band song greater criteria than those in terms of testing someone's allrounder capability?why it is always the song of last 50 years? Bangla culture is 1000 years old( we often say that).So what we are promoting? Can you feel any commercial interests here? Can you remenber AI Bulbul said Closeup1 is questionable as a fullfil compitition and next day he strongly criticized and vowed on its favour that no one can do that?was it a slip of tongue after PUTUL disqualified and recovery afterward?
6) if you summerise all of the above points it becomes the same what TeolABM bhai mentioned on his post at #6. Those who are investing money they will not let it go in vein, they will bring it back by times; not only by selling closeup toothpaste or ponds:) .There are some other ways.This may involve top performers carreer and their populariy in the long run,which I said as long run commercial interests.
I have tried to find the answers on my way from myself and from different posts of BT members.You may name it an 'anti theory' or 'conspiracy theory',as some of us may find it a 'bilnd' or 'biased' opinion (as they used to call it often) , its upto you. This is just a Pessimistic view,and I hope it doesn't come true.
