Blind Test - Day 1 @ Central Eliminations
Paul Moss' Comments Regarding The Blind Test
"It's (blind test) always a great way to get rid of the weakest voices."
"Is this voice strong enough to get up to move on. Does this voice have some potential. Is there something there in the voice. I know it's not always about the voice. It's not all about this, it's not all about that. They just have to have something."
"This is the good thing about the blind test is that we do not really know who they are. Its a great way to judge someone who is well known such as an artiste against someone who is completely unknown."
"(If) We can remember them or there is something memorable about them, at that point, yeah, may be it is something other people will remember too."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was a heated discussion among the RS crew whether the blind test as prescribed by OIAM actually is effective. After all the judges actually still get to see a silhoutte of the person behind the screen, and many feel they would be able to easily make out who is actually behind the screen, and as such it will still cloud their judgement.
Many of you may or may not agree with Paul's take on the blind test. We certainly didn't, at least not for the silhoutte method. We felt that we could easily make out all of the popular artistes without any effort through the screen which makes Paul's take rather redundant.
But instead of debating further, we decided to put the Blind Test itself to a test to see whether it was really effective and unbiased as it is claimed to be. We would also like to hear our viewers thoughts & also the contestants feedbacks on the test. So please do give us your comments, there is no wrong answer and all comments are welcome.
We have screenshots of actual silhouttes from the blind test for you to judge and tell us whether you can actually make out who the contestants are?

Well guys, you are the judges. Can you guess who the artistes are? Or even some of our extra "contestants" or even some of the non celebrity contestants? Just list down all that you can figure out and please do share your take on this. I bet it's going to be fun.
