The second season of Airtel Super Singer Junior - Thamizhagathin Chellakuralukkana Thedal (the search for the sweet voice of Tamil Nadu) premiered on 21 June 2009. The music competition reality TV show was again telecast on Vijay TV,[1] and Bharti Airtel returned to sponsor the show. Episodes were telecast between Monday to Thursday each week at 9:00pm.[2][3] Children from the age of 6 years to the age of 14 years were permitted to audition to showcase their talent on Vijay TV's platform.[2] Apart from gaining recognition from acclaimed names of the music industry and being a child singing icon, the show initially promised that its winner would be honored with Rs.25 lakhs in cash prize money.[2] Later, the hosts in each episode of the top 25 performance rounds announced that the winner would win a Villa in Anugraha Satellite Town worth Rs.25 lakhs from its sponsor, Navashakthi Township and Developers.

Following playback singer Chinmayi's decision to quit hosting Vijay TV's Super Singer series earlier in the year,[4][5] various television anchors including Divyadarshini, Sivakarthikeyan, Aishwarya Prabhakar, and Uma Padmanabhan, filled in to host the show at various intervals, and playback singer Divya appeared fairly regularly during the season as a replacement. Ananth Vaidyanathan returned as a voice trainer, and playback singer K. S. Chithra returned as a permanent judge of the show. Playback singers Mano, and Malgudi Subha also joined the show as permanent judges to replace Usha Uthup who quit the show.

A number of eminent playback singers and music directors appeared during the season as guest judges, including P. B. Sreenivas, P. Susheela, M. S. Viswanathan, S. Janaki, Sadhana Sargam, Nithyasree Mahadevan, Suchithra, Harish Raghavendra, Unni Menon, Madhu Balakrishnan, Sowmya, Pop Shalini, Pushpavanam Kuppuswamy. Stars from the senior version of the show also appeared as judges during the season, including former contestants Naresh Iyer, Nikhil Mathew, and Ajeesh, and permanent judges P. Unnikrishnan, Anuradha Sriram and Srinivas - the latter of whom introduced the winner, Alka Ajith, as a playback singer in the 2011 Malayalam language film, The Train.

Shravan was crowned runner-up of the competition at the grand finale, and won a car. He subsequently competed in various spin-off versions of the show as well as other music competitions broadcast by Vijay TV, including Airtel Super Singer T20, and most recently on Super Singer T20 season 2.

Nithyashree Venkataraman (contestant ID SS), known in the competition as Nithyashree, entered the competition when she was 9 years old.[6] She was initially eliminated from the top 4 as a semi-finalist, but immediately qualified as a wild-card contestant. She re-entered the competition as a grand finalist after receiving viewer votes and following a decision of the permanent judges. Nithyashree ended up in joint fourth-place with fellow-contestant Roshan, which won her a cash prize of 2 lakh rupees. Shortly after the finale, she was selected to host a couple of post-final episodes of the show before the season came to a close. She later appeared as a guest performer and backing vocalist in subsequent seasons of the show, and competed in other music competitions broadcast by Vijay TV, including as a top 5 contender in Junior Super Stars and as a winner in Kedi Boys Killadi Girls.

Srikanth (contestant ID SS) was the youngest finalist of the season. He was initially eliminated from the top 8 finalists, but returned to qualify as a wildcard contestant. The permanent judges controversially made an exception to allow him to re-enter the competition as a finalist as he appeared to be popular at the time.

Srikanth ended up being given the title "Most Popular Contestant" of the season, and was awarded a cash prize of 3 lakh rupees after ending up in third place.

She later appeared as a guest performer and backing vocalist in subsequent seasons of the show, and competed in other music competitions broadcast by Vijay TV, including Kedi Boys Killadi Girls.

Her performance of the song "Konjam Nilavu" in the grand finals of the second season was considered by guest judge S. P. Charan to be "better than the original".

Priyanka (contestant ID SS) was initially eliminated from the competition as a quarter-finalist from the top 6. Although she subsequently qualified as a wild-card contestant, a controversy arose after viewers protested against the judge's decision to eliminate her again before the finale.

She later appeared as a guest performer and backing vocalist in subsequent seasons of the show, and competed in other music competitions broadcast by Vijay TV, including Kedi Boys Killadi Girls, and spin-off versions of the show such as Super Singer T20.

     – Non-competition performance
     – Contestant spot-selected to advance to next round
     – Contestant is in bottom five

This round was in celebration of the Hindu festival Karthigai Deepam, and required contestants to sing film songs which fitted in the Carnatic music ("classical") genre.

Carnatic music exponent and playback singer Nithyasree Mahadevan made her first appearance on the show and was a special guest judge for this round. The special guest judges were able to spot-select up to five contestants who would be granted immediate immunity from this week's elimination and could advance to the next round. Students receiving formal training in Bharatha Natyam danced while each contestant performed.

At the conclusion of this week's performances, the special guest judges decided to waitlist the bottom five contestants and would not eliminate any contestant based on this week's performances. Consequently, the bottom five contestants would be required to perform in a "waitlist challenge" next week, and a decision would then be made as to which contestant from the bottom five would be eliminated.

Patriotic & Bharathiyar Songs Round (25 January 2010 – 28 January 2010)

The first episode of the week telecast the waitlist challenge between the bottom four contestants from the previous week's performances. Of these four contestants, contestants SSJ07 Sowmya and SSJ08 Ovviya were considered the weakest performers. However, the judges announced that no elimination would take place and both contestants were given a final chance, and warned that if either contestant was a bottom performer in this competition in future, they will be eliminated.

The remaining episodes of the week required the top 15 contestants to perform songs penned by poet Subramania Bharathiyar, or songs of an Indian patriotic genre. Personal secretary to the late Mahatma Gandhi, Mr V.S. Kalyanam, appeared as a special guest on the show. At the conclusion of this week's performances, the judges announced that in celebration of this week's theme and to mirror the effect of Independence Day (India), no contestants would be eliminated following this week's performances.

"Isai Darbar - Raja Rani" Round (1 February 2010 – 4 February 2010)

This round required the top 15 contestants to perform songs consisting of a theme of kings and queens. The comperes, voice trainer, permanent judges, and contestants were all dressed as ancient Indian kings and queens, and spoke in Middle Tamil. Viewers expressed a lot of positive comments about the concept and were disappointed that the following two seasons of the show did not repeat the round to the same high standard.

During the episode telecast on 2 February 2010, dancer Priyadarshini gave a special dance performance to a medley of songs before contestant Roshan's performance.

Moon Songs Round (22 March 2010 – 25 March 2010)

The "Nila Padalgal" (Moon Songs) round required the top 9 contestants to perform songs over two parts which fitted the theme of the week - the moon.

The first part of the round required contestants to sing hits from films released before 1980. The special guest of the week was veteran playback singer, P. B. Sreenivas, who himself sang a large number of songs based on this theme during his younger years. After the performance of contestant SSJ18 Sharath, P. B. Sreenivas sang the first line of the song when giving his feedback on the performance.

The second part of the round required contestants to sing hits from films released after 1980. Contestant SSJ02 Alka Ajith was announced as best performer of this part of the round, while contestants SSJ11 Nithyashree and SSJ21 Priyanka were considered runner up best performers.

This round required the top 7 contestants to perform National Award Winning Songs. The best performer and runner up from the first part of the round were given an award by special guest judge and veteran playback singer P. Susheela, and were given immunity to advance to the next round. P. Susheela determined that contestant SSJ16 Srinisha was best performer of the round, while contestant SSJ15 Shravan was runner up.

Danger Zone Selection (second part telecast 7 April 2010)

The second part of the round required the five remaining contestants to perform National Award Winning Songs to avoid being placed in the danger zone. Veteran playback singer S. Janaki appeared as a special guest judge for this round. S. Janaki noted that there is already a great singer named Nithyasree Mahadevan, and the junior-named contestant SSJ19 Nithyashree was also great in her performance. But at the conclusion of the performances by the five remaining contestants in the second part, the three weakest performing contestants were placed in the danger zone.

Elimination & Safe Zone Selection (final part telecast 8 April 2010)

Contestants placed in the danger zone were required to perform in an elimination round in the 8 April 2010 episode. The three contestants in the danger zone were required to perform State Award Winning Songs during the elimination round, and the weakest performing contestant would be eliminated from the round. During this round, guest judge S. Janaki was impressed with the performance by contestant SSJ19 Nithyashree and walked to the stage to hug the contestant after her performance.

After the three contestants performed, the permanent judges placed contestant SSJ02 Alka Ajith in the safe zone. The compere announced that the permanent judges would teach the first part of a song to each of the remaining two contestants, and they would need to perform that song instantly. The best performing contestant would be also placed in the safe zone.

Mano & Chithra announced that contestant SSJ11 Nithyashree took 6 minutes and 24 seconds to learn and made two mistakes during the performance, while SSJ19 Roshan took 5 minutes and 4 seconds, and made one mistake during their performance. Following the performances by the two contestants, the permanent judges said they would eliminate contestant SSJ19 Nithyashree. However, special guest S. Janaki said she did not like any contestants being eliminated for rounds where she appears as a special guest, and asked for no eliminations to take place. Consequently, the permanent judges confirmed that they would not act against the wishes of S. Janaki, and no elimination would take place.

Wild Card Results (season 2)

Wildcard Winners as announced by the judges were Srikanth and Nithyashree and will enter the finals along with Alka Ajith, Roshan and Shravan. The wild card results created a lot of frustrations and disappointments among Vijay TV viewers citing that the public votes were manipulated and played no role in the results. Expectations were extremely high and various blogs were very much in favour of the wild card winner as Priyanka followed by Srinisha.[8][9] Views have been aired that Srikanth and Nithyashree though talented pose no competency to the other finalists in the final round.
