However, it is notable that, Syed Subahan had been the winner in the ratings by the judges of the program.

Obviously,  the decisions of the ‘judges’ of such singing competitions will rarely coincide with the opinions of the viewers and the public.

To avoid, ‘eliminations’ with suspense/tensions,  tears of participants and their parents eliminated and sad faces of judges, who themselves will be the cause for eliminations, etc., can we suggest that after a stage of such programs, say, at the top 20’s etc, the marks/votes can be given by the viewers?
