The third season of the Indian Tamil-language child singing reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Lil Champs is based on India's longest-running reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa.[1] and was launched by Zee Tamil on 1 July 2023.[2]
Abhirami is the third new judge who has joined Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L'il Champs in the judging panel. Saindhavi Prakash is known to be the fourth new judge who has joined Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L'il Champs alongside the judging panel. Archana Chandhoke has returned for the sixth time, including Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Seniors and Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Lil Champs, as host for the third season of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L'il Champs.[3] This show has been known to introduce and unlock the hidden talents of the juniors from all diverse backgrounds, including children who are categorised under special needs. The four main judges of the show are Srinivas, Vijay Prakash, Saindhavi Prakash and Abhirami.[4] The mega auditions saw the three judges along with special judges with well-known playback singers, such as Mano and Vaikom Vijayalakshmi.
The Grand Finale was held on 17 December 2023. At the finals, Kilmisha was the title winner and Ruthresh Kumar claimed the first runners-up. Kilmisha is the first Girl to become the title winner of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Lil Champs from Sri Lanka.[5]
Auditions
[edit]The channel started taking auditions for this season through online audition registration.[6] Then the offline auditions placed in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka as well as from international waters (such as Sri Lanka), the jury and judges picked out the top 45 talented singers and they will battle it out to grab a position in the final 30. The youngest contestant who successfully completed the auditions is 6 years old and the oldest contestant is 14 years old. The jury members include the professional playback singers and several other musicians. Several contestants from Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Seniors (season 3) have been chosen to occupy as vocal trainers to the exceptional contestants.
The show premiered on Saturday and Sunday at 19:00 from 1 July 2023 on Zee Tamil and worldwide on Zee5.[7][8]
From the introductory rounds onwards, golden performance showers have been awarded to the contestants who have performed exceptionally well and have got a 100% mark according to the judges . If the judges decide that the contestant deserves a golden shower, then they would sing, as traditionally in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Lil Champs and Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Seniors, "Kannamaniye <Name> Kalakipotta Nee / Sokkavaikkum Paatai Paadi Asathipotta Nee / Aatam Poordu (double clap) / Vetta Poordu (double clap) / Aatam Poordu Vetta Poordu Santhoshame Sa Re Ga Ma Pa / Ithu Golden performance ".[citation needed]
