Final list of contestants from The Hindu -- more spoilers

The Hindu has broken some suspense by listing out the finalists (almost). They have mentioned about two of the upcoming episodes. How these contestants got to the next round will still be interesting to watch.

Singing to win

Vijay TV's "Airtel Super Singer contest" enters the next stage this Friday and Saturday. After last week's tough competition among 12 contestants eight have moved into the next level. This week's episode, to be aired on July 7, at 20.00, will have playback singers, Harini and Tippu, as special invitees besides the show judges, Anuradha Sriram, Srinivas and Unnikrishnan.

Contestants Maya and Priyadarshini get some useful tips from Tippu. And Harini trains Nikhil Mathew and Vijay Krishnan. Among these four contestants two will qualify for the final round.

The next episode, to be aired on July 8, 20.00, will have playback singers, Sriram Parthasarathy and `Pop' Shalini as special invitees.

Sriram Parthasarathy trains contestants Aruna and Anitha while Shalini guides Sowmiya and Gautham . Out of the four two will be selected for the finals. Viewers' votes will decide the winner.

For Airtel subscribers, who would like to register their valuable votes can call 6463 (01 - 12) or SMS SS (01-12) to 6464. Viewers, other than Airtel subscribers, can log on to www.indya.com. Voting opens on July 8, 21.00 and closes on July 9, 20.59.

To know the winner of this contest, viewers have to wait till August 4.

Rejected contestants from the last 15

Looks like we can see expect to see the rejected contestants back in the contest -- but only one of them will go to the next round. My guess is that rejected contestants to be reselected will be Archana, Harish, Shenaaz, Febin and Swapna. What do you think?


Excerpt from article:
Silambarasan as judge for Super Singer -

The eliminated eight contestants are given a second chance to perform and give their shot at becoming the Super Singer. It's now the turn of the viewers to choose who among these eight will make it to the Wild Card stage. While the viewer polls will help two of the eight contestants to go to the next stage; each of the judges will choose one contestant of their choice from the eliminated eight.

Therefore, a total of five will be given a second chance and they will perform at the Wild Card stage. From these five participants, only one will be chosen by the viewers (via SMS/televoting) to go to the finals to compete with the final four for the coveted title of Super Singer.

Silambarasan as judge for Super Singer - ChennaiOnline

ChennaiOnline had an article last week that gave away the list of participants in today's show. It also talks about the format of the contest today.

Silambarasan as judge for Super Singer -


TV’s music talent hunt show 'Super Singer' has reached the stage where there are now final 12 contestants who were divided into two groups each consisting of six members. This episode, which is marked by tough competition, sees a special invitee to the show to cheer up the contestants on the episode which would be telecast on June 30 and July 1, 2006, between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Vijay TV.

The celebrity is Tamil actor Silambarasan. The star interacts with the participants and listens to their songs and finally selects a singer based on their performance and then gifts a gold coin. Watch out to see who impresses him most.


The 12 selected contestants are given an existing song and will be asked to change the emotion of the song to check how well they are able to bring out the situation involved in the song. These contestants had to choose between two songs given to them. Choice No.1, ‘Manmatha Raasa’ to be sung in sorrow, and choice 2, ‘Poraley Ponnuthayi’ to be sung with cheerful rhythm.

The first six participants are Rajani Saranathan (02), V Anitha (04), Sowmya Mahadevan (07), Swathi Sridharan (10), N S Aruna (11) and Priyadarshini (12).

The second set of six participants are Kilgin (01), Maya (03), Gowtham Bharadwaj (05), Vijay Krishnan (06), Nithin Raj (08) and Nikhil Mathew (09).

These contestants have been given numbers so that viewers can also take part in the selection by sending SMS. For Televoting, viewers can call a set of numbers to register their vote. Viewers can log on to a website and register voting to select their choice of singer out of the 12 contestants and can win fabulous goodies for the right choice.

After these elimination rounds, the final 12 contestants get reduced to 8 and will move to the next round. From this eight, four will be eliminated and the rest of the 4 will be selected for the finals.
