M.R. Sri Harsha, talented singer of Mysuru and second runner-up of Zee Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Season-13, was felicitated at a programme in Vijaya Vittala PU College recently. He is seen with Hon. Secretary of VVEI R. Vasudev Bhat, Principal of Vijaya Vittala PU College H. Satyaprasad, parent of Sri Harsha – Ravishankar and lecturer in Kannada S.S. Ramesh.
In all fairness Sri Harsha should have been the winner of this programme and all the three judges along with music director, Hamsalekha could not do much since their marks allotment is barely 30 percent or so.
The balance 70 percent is as per the votes from general public, who have limited knowledge of swar, taal and raag.
The second prize was bagged by a visually impaired singer, probably getting votes from public on sympathy factor.
