Mumbai: After showcasing immensely popular reality shows like Big Boss and Fear Factor, COLORS is all set to launch yet another reality show – but with a BIG difference. COLORS, in association with UK's FremantleMedia will soon be launching Asia's biggest talent hunt show – 'Got Talent' with a desi twist. A show that redefines talent hunts, 'Got Talent' is the brainchild of Simon Cowell, the popular jury member of American Idol and the brain behind multiple successful format shows, under his company SYCO. Simon's concept was successfully adapted by various countries including UK and USA where the show tasted colossal success.
The 'Got Talent' franchise is a British TV format conceived by Simon Cowell's and co-owned company SYCO and FreemantleMedia Ltd. Discussing this exciting development, Patrick Schult, Managing Director, FremantleMedia Asia said "Got Talent has been a remarkable success story worldwide. Audiences from all age groups have propelled this show to the top of ratings charts in every country it has launched. There is such an incredible breadth of talent in India we can't wait to see we uncover with the launch of 'India's Got Talent' in 2009".
'India's Got Talent' will be following the global format, wherein, the show will traverse the length and breadth of the nation to bring forth interesting talent. And by interesting talent, it could be anything from dancing to dandiya, from singing to shayari, and from wrestling to mallakhamb to nautanki to lavani! 'India's Got Talent' will be a platform dedicated to the celebration of uniqueness and originality.
Speaking about India's Got Talent, Ashvini Yardi, Programming Head, 'COLORS' said, "India is a country with a rich and vibrant talent that is still not explored and tapped. India's Got Talent is a remarkable show with a never seen before freshness to it. It is the big daddy of all talent shows and has its roots in the variety genre. It has tasted immense popularity in every country that it was launched. Now, for the first time ever, India will witness a show where all only talent matters. Anyone with any talent can be a part of the show as long as the performance is distinctive and can entertain the nation."

Organizers of the show are very smart, just to create a difference form other shows it not named to any dance and singing show and in the promos and adds they are displaying other talent exclusively, to get publicity. However it is very unjust and insult to other of talents where they are not getting recognized/appreciated as a talent. To the judges; don’t insult other talent because you are asked to do show, if it is a rational/impartial judgment then I am sorry to say that a BHAND can not make a proper decision. To the organizers; be honest, change the name and format of the show, don’t insult other talents, it is very difficult to compare Apple to Banana.

This show is totaly biased for dance and singing. If a participant just sings a below average song or gives a not so deserving mediocre dancing performance, he/she wins loads of accolades for it. Simple enough to understand that this is not just a singing or dancing competition and India is not all about just dance and singing. There is a lot more talent to explore and given encouragement.
» But like all hindi shows this will insult south Indians

But like all hindi shows this will insult south Indians.When South India has got almost all Classical arts its the folk arts from north india which get more attention.Hindi people have this inferiority complex because of high standards of arts and talent in south india.If you see this show, only singers who sing in hindi can win, only those who do drama in hindi can win.I dont think south indians will watch this Hindi programme as we know its a north indian who will win this show.India has to destroy this hindi favoritism as the hindi is dividing the india.
