Who will save Asianet Idea Star Singer 2008 from drowning?


COMMENTS:| 11 comments »Read Comments | Post Comment


As one of the live Kerala subscriber commented (Read the comment here!) or here,The Asianet Idea star Singer 2008,became a 'dead' game.The thrilling moments are gone,the creative comments from the judges are vanished, above all the anchors are not at all lively.
Ranjini Haridas was a better anchor than Ramya and the other girl,even if Ranjini used to speak 'Manglish'.
The new judging panel is not at all energetic,(they might be giving good judgment but that wont satisfy the viewer!!)
If Asianet really looking for another big hit like Asianet Idea star singer 2007,what they need to do is call back the anchor and the judges !
Best of luck Asianet !
