Question 8: Do you think the decision of the judges was fair? Why? Give reasons for your answer.
Answer: Yes. I think the decision of the judges was fair because both of them took pains and interest to learn a song in a language unknown to each other and sung it at the competition. Thus, Tara and Vasanthi have proved the fact that language is not a barrier for the artists. Art is universal; it can reach out cutting across the barriers of language, culture, creed, race or nationalities.
