Most of us complained a lot of times that Orange Sitara was completely copied from other international famous dance/singing competition…
Well, seems they tried to be original, for once….
Since some weeks they brought a new concept into the competion….
They made the participants sing, dance and even the mentors had to perform live…
And one of them thought:
Why dont we make the musicians sing???
Well, that was a completely foolish idea… at least for me…
Since some weeks, the musicians have been performing live, practically most of them, from the electronic keyboard player, the guitarist to the tabla player (technically known as a tabalti)
The story does not stop here!!!
They have even introduced another extra into this concept:
Why not make the viewers vote for the musicians???
LOL ! Who will want to spend rs10 per sms to vote for them (except the family members and friends of course)…
Surtout dans ene lepok kot p serre ceinture and petrol p monter lol…
No need to tell you how “fabulous” those musicians perform, LIVE !
Hoever, not applicable to all, but still !
Something perhaps the organisers (mbc) might find informative to know, musicians are made to play musical instruments and not all of them know really how to sing, ya, they do sing, but not all of them are good enough to sing LIVE on a national television channel…
I am was a musician too, some years back, ya lol, i was a tabalti (tabla n dholok player) in religions ceremonies (ya lol! believe it or not, i played in kirtans and bhajans, despite i never believed in god!) lol…
I also play electronic keyboard, but nowadays, i rarely have the time to spend some time playing music, since am blogging lol…
My Dad, and uncle too are musicians, and at times, they even sang & played instruments in weddings, hotels etc, as a hobby/leisure of course!
We are not big singers/musicians(not me definitely), but i dont go live onto tv to show that i can sing when i dont know how to!
However, there are not many musicians who can play their instruments and sing at the same time, except of course, famous superstars singers which Orange Sitara wants to build here in Mauritius it seems lol…
lol, just before blogging, Vicky was telling me that “to ene fan orange sitara twa”.
In fact ya, but not exactly, as i like to watch their show because of their originality, stupidity(sometimes and often lol), copying of international ideas/concepts, importance they give to certain persons, quality of tv platforms they offer here in Mauritius to promote new talents…
For sure, they do make the best SHOW on tv lol !
So, how do you find this innovative and orginal concept brought forward on our “petit ecran” these days???

To be precised: I worked in mauritius at:
Radio Plus: 2002-2004
Top FM: 2004 (9months) + 2006 (3months)
in France at:
Europe 2 (now Virgin Radio): 2004-2005
Fun Radio: 2006
Europe 1: 2006
M6: 2007-now
Never worked at MBC, but i know 12 ex-collegues working there now.
They almost all agree on the fact that the problem at MBC is people, nothing else.
I am really sorry for this situation, I must admit I would have preferred to work and live my passion in Mauritius, but it’s not so easy because of these “people” who claim to know everything but does nothing.
I am really happy that persons like Yashvin don’t hesitate to make clever critics and that others respond to that. MBC “managers” (if they can be called that) and Orange management sould have a look at what people think. But do they care at all? I’am afraid not…
