Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L'il Champs 2017 (stylised as Saregamapa Li'l Champs) is a singing competition television series, which premiered on 25 February 2017 on Zee TV. The series airs every Saturday and Sunday nights at 9:00 pm. In a ‘Back to School’ format that lends itself to a spirited atmosphere of camaraderie and fun, the L’il Champs will represent their schools.

For the first time in L'il Champs, they have incorporated the format created for Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2016. There is a 30-member Grand Jury which grades the contestants and the average percentage of their scores is displayed. Himesh Reshammiya, Neha Kakkar & Javed Ali are the mentors in the show, whereas Aditya Narayan is the host.^[1]

Format

Kids from the age of 5 to 14 years participate in this competition and showcase their singing talent. In the auditions round, they are given 100 seconds to impress the three judges and the 30-members of the grand jury. If two of the three judges say YES and they secure at least 50 per cent of the support from the Grand Jury, then the contestant progresses to the next round.

In the Gala round, the judges select the 'Student of the Week' who is the best performer according to them. The contestant gets to sit on a 'flying sofa', which indicates that the contestant is safe from next week's elimination.

The audience vote will come in later in the competition. The contestant with the highest votes in the final round will win the competition.^[2]

Grand Jury

The show has a panel of 30 jury members who are experts from the music industry. They closely assess the contestants from the audition stage wherein they help the mentors in the selection process and are present in the show during the studio rounds too.^[3]
