Shrinivas said that the entire process of selection was an enjoyable experience and said that the contest was the first of it's kind in Tamilnadu, while Anuradha Sreeram said, 'It was a good opportunity for the youth to showcase their singing skills and we could see that the confidence levels of each of the contestant increase with successive rounds.

Also present on the occasion was Ananth, a voice culture expert from Mumbai. He assisted the judges in assessing the contestants. 'Innate musical capacity was the chief criterion for choosing these four finalists, ' he said.
