Written on October 16, 2007 – 12:40 pm | by admin |

Following the success of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa (SRGMP) Challenge 2007 which concluded Saturday, Zee TV had announced a fresh series of ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa-L’il champs’ with 28 new young aspiring contenders from across the globe.

And we will continue to update you with videos and reviews of “Little champs International” on saregamapashow.com [The show is starting from October 19]

The celebrity judges include playback singer Sonu Nigam and Suresh Wadkar. Sonu returns to SRGMP after a gap of eight years, SRGMP challenge 2007 host Aditya Narayan announced during the finale of the reality show last night. ‘L’il Champs’ starting from October 19 would be aired on Friday and Saturday at 2200 hrs. The show would provide a platform to young participants within the age group of seven to 14 years. Aditya Narayan would be the host.

Speaking about the launch, Zee TV’s business head Punit Goenka said,”It’s been a nostalgic journey with SRGMP since its inception.

Music is an integral part of Indian culture and talent should be nurtured from an early age.” Adding further, he said,” On the judging panel, we have some of the leading and established professionals from the music industry, who, would guide and judge our L’il discoveries.We look forward to provide our viewers a refreshingly new show with L’il champs, some talented singing with loads of entertainment.” He said 28 participants have been selected from five continents and six different countries would compete with each other under the guidance of their respective mentors.

International auditions took place in UK, Dubai, USA, South Africa, Malaysia, Pakistan, New Zealand, Singapore, Fiji, Kenya, Australia, Israel and Hongkong as well as eight cities in India.

    Anyone can expect that this one will be fair?LOL. Perhaps Fairer than the saregamapa 2007. Maybe here they will rigg even more votes than Saregamap 2007 because management team has become experienced now. To me, no more ZeeTV. Good bye.

              Raja Hasan is winner and people of Bikner are very much annoyed with Zee Tv. In my opinion recounting of the votes should be done and genuine winner should be given his honour. We people at Bikaner know how every thing is managed and who are behind it.

              If Zee wants to maintain its credibility it should immediately take up recounting.

              However no more sms to zee programmes.

                As soon as there is a review, you guys respond to this.

                Then you say you are not going to watch Zee anymore. Then what you are doing here?

                Go hide somewhere.

                  Hey Manik,

                  Very few people as sane as you in this forum. I would divide thie forum into two “garden” varieties -

                  1. The wheezers, complainers and grumblers (you know who I am talking about **WINK** (the names start with a G))

                  2. The conspiracy theorists (again you know the type who do maths on votes, analysis of phone lines (starts with an A..)**WINK**etc..)

                  I agree with you totally, if you do not like it go elsewhere. As the american’s say if you gotta crap, crap and get out..don’t sit there creating gas

                  (I can’t laugh much today, I might end up in the OT you see)

                  Hey Manik, maybe you can do as I do. Laugh and enjoy the entertainment show which ZEE SRGMP throws up and then come here for another laugh fest.

                  Sometimes this forum is more laughs than SRGMP **SMILE** (yesterday’s laugh bout still hurts)

                      @CutiePie,

                      I encourage you to get a sense of humor and not take things so seriously. I bet you, Raja does not take it as seriously as you are right now…

                      Read above my post. I think the show is good entertainment. I will continue watching it thank you.

                      Maybe you can either go on with your life and fight better battles or else settle down girl and enjoy it ;)

                            Actually, I differ in opinion. I think this show will be seriously dysfunctional without Himesh!!

                            You know winners will face envy! Plus what is the alternative? Borring Sonu and Pritam !!

                            Puhleaseee!!

                              I don’t get these people. Isn’t it enough that you copy and steal everything from Hollywood, now you started dishonesty in reality shows too?! I felt that Himmesh was so unpopular and Vishal-Shekhar so popular, and plus Raja, that he would be the clear winner. And here was Aneek winning. Himesh seems like a blood sucker, forcing Aneek to comfirm to his whims.

                              Anyway, for L’il Champs, I hope it is as good as the previous one. The host will make a big difference, Shaan was brilliant and honest. Aditiya Narayan should not show his face on shows again, or at least keep his monotonous and boring mouth shut.

                                      Hey Raja fans, GOOD NEWS for you!!!

                                      Actually Raja is the winner. Zee has recounted the votes and declared Raja as winner. BTW, Raja got 5 crore votes. He is champion internationally and in India too. Aneek did not get a single vote, even from Calcutta. What a shame. Amanat just got 2 votes less. Aneek is banned for next 50 years and Supreme Court has given a verdict that anyone named Aneek cannot sing in Indian soil from now onwards. Raja is going to get the National award next time because of his heavenly voice. All Mahagurus admitted that he is far better than Kishore kumar, Md Rafi, Manna Dey, Sukhwinder Singh, Kailash Kher or Sonu Nigam. His name is selected for Grammy awards and believed to be winning all the awards. All leading singers in Bollywood are now in a situation that they need to look for a different profession. Sonu is already song-less and now he had to come to the L’il champ as a judge because all music composers cancelled all deals with him as they signed Raja for all songs in all movies. Shaan, Kunal, KK, Sukhwinder, Kailash and all others are planning to leave India as they are also song-less. I heard that they are trying to start a petition and going to door to door for people’s signature. God help them. The best thing is he is singing most of the films without a penny. The film industry is overwhelmed by his polite and timid nature. They decided to make film named “Raja Hindustani – A Singer’s True Story”. Aneek and HR has signed in the film (they claimed 50 crores to act in the film, how cheap) as villains. The other villains are ZEE TV officials, who rigged the SRGMP2007 final. Vishal – Shekhar is in Guest Appearance. Bappi Da is rejected as he has given a chance to Aneek. ID is the music director of the movie.

                                      I will keep you updated…check it out!!!

                                        hello friends,
                                        this is sarfaraz from paki,
                                        i just wanna say that i dont thing after a whole fake results of saregamapa 2007..they should again do it in little champs ….
                                        just not to atleast disheart those talented childs.
                                        when if u can’t tolerate that outsider is much better than u ..and u can’t let them win then y r u doing these sort of acts..
                                        just to earn money.
                                        as there was no competative of amanat in whole competition …then in little champs ..it happens the same.
                                        truth is always bitter …but my brothers dont take me wrong.
                                        organisers have to face the truth.

                                          Absolutely, Only Amant should have given the opportunity to sing and win the competition. All other singers were worthless. Zee TV hai hai…Himesh Hai hai…Aneek hai hai…

                                                HENCE, NO MORE VOTING TO SRGMP…. NO MORE..ZEE…

                                                  Its really very panic that Aneek has won. I agree that he is a good singer having good voice. but Raja is the best. Hence ZEE and HR is totally responsible for this big cheating. They should apologies to all viewers. and start recounting the vote.Be remember that Raja Hindustani is the actual winner because of his devine voice quality and over all he is most faviourate of all the viewers. so there is a big shame on ZEE and HR. and be remember that HR has no reputation in the market. every one has to aceept this that what kind of guy he is??? and now ZEE has lost all his name and fame because of this cheating with all the viewers. Shame on ZEE and HR.
                                                  For Raja not to worry U r the winner. and best of luck just try hard and look forward.

                                                  For Audience, No ZEE and No SMS to Zee show.

                                                          sa re ga ma pa’s new little champs program raises some fundamental questions. These very little kids, some as old as 7-8 year old, are singing very sexy, vulgur, and adult type songs with sexy dances. Not only that in the background, other little kids are doing cabret type vulgar dances in sexy clothes. This is very shameful to indian culture. I am surprised that indian people are not noticing this vulgarity. Something should be done to stop this nmonsense at the name of entertainment and making money (thru voting system). I wonder if this message will be posted here.
