Shaan: Reality Show Talent Is Still Real!

MUMBAI-Renowned singer Shaan discussed the trend of many singers getting their break through reality shows today. He firmly believes, “The talent is still very much there.”

“Earlier, they were raw and natural — contestants would come, sing live, and face the judges’ feedback directly. Nowadays, with technology and AI corrections, the performances are polished for television. It entertains the audience, but sometimes the natural essence is lost,” he shared.

However, he emphasized that the core talent remains. “If someone doesn’t have talent, no amount of technology can take them forward. For instance, I gave a chance to Mansi Ghosh from Indian Idol, and she has sung in this film. It’s important to keep the promise of nurturing real talent, and I’m glad we could do that,” Shaan concluded.

When asked if today’s music industry can retain the soulful touch of the past, he said: “I believe the time has come when good music is making a comeback. There was always good music, but now audiences are longing for soulful, melodious songs again.” (IANS)
