All Individuals and Shows get SUCCESS through people’s opinion all over the world and India is no exception to this. People of India alone have given success to famous singers like Lata, Asha, M. Rafi, Mukesh. to today’s Sonu Nigam. Whatever marks Sonu Nigam might have got from Judges he would not have reached the position where he is today without peoples liking for him. He and Anu Malik attained today’s fame because people liked them. When selection of Indian Idol is left to people of India we should honor their decision as we have honored in the past without any discrimination and should not blame Ravinder Ravi for the failure of the outgoing participants at Indian Idol. Despite objectionable comments by all the three judges of the competition since last couple of shows, Indian Public is consistently choosing Ravinder Ravi at Indian Idol because they like him. All the judges should try to understand this truth and honor the public opinion instead of influencing the public voting through imposition of their views.
Cheer up Ravinder Ravi, be confident, look confident on the stage, and never forget Indian Public because they like you.

Indian Idol - A Great Concept - Do we understand it however?
Indian idol started with the idea of selecting one singer among the thousands of contestents. However, the point to note is it was like any other show upto the selection of best thirty candidates wherein judges shortlisted the contestents. Then, came the real fun! Upto this point, it was like any other show such as the famous one, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa.
So, people lets understand that this is no more sa re gama pa where in variety of judges shortlist and make one singer as topmost singer out of competition that spans over months.
Now, Indian idol is all about indian audience. Is there any reason why one movie hits and other flops? Could anybody site any reason? It is totally incomprehensible and left many film producers and directors guessing all the time and making mistakes quite often in their judgement.
Indian idol programme is not about music competition any more. It means much more than that.
I have always been fan of Aditi. But since she didnt sung well, she got voted out. Now, for god sake, dont blame Ravinder for this. If Farha Khan wants to blame, blame India and Indian audience. I always voted for Amit Sana/Abhijeet this week. However, I respect indian audience choice.
Lets all respect that and understand clearly that what indian idol programme is all about.
If you want good singers, arrange another programme with variety of judges for that and don't allow india to vote. If we are expecting India to be of Anu Malik or Sonu Nigam type who are so expert with music, we are somewhere wrong in making our expectations! Let's retrospect.
Poor Ravinder Ravi with great potentials! God bless him!
I don't know what judges are saying, the so-called Judges at Indian Idol. Give Ravinder a break. He is just a painter and not a criminal. Every of the panelist just bully him and thus he seems very uncomfortable on stage. Today Farah khan commented "The Indian Idol has to represent India at International scene". I could say that any Indian could represent India and she has no rights to comment like that. She should be ashamed of it. I know what she meant by that. The so-called educated class mentality. A painter could not represent India internationally. So, get someone from Infosys or Wipro.
I think Ravinder has a very clear voice and if he is trained a bit he could be a better singer then anyone in Indian Idol. Indian idol is all about people choice and if people are voting for Ravinder then what is the problem in it. I see nothing so shocking in it. If you wanna add your article here, just give me a mail on amitabhseo@gmail.com
Aditi is a great singer. I think the choice for her song was not good, that cost her seat at Indian Idol. Indian idol is all about how you perform in THE day and Aditi was not good yesterday. Though, if we see her performance as a whole then it is difficult to believe that she is out.
It is not about who becomes Indian Idol now as if you are good, you would be picked by the music directors anytime. So as the finals are approaching, we should be ready to take more shocks. Best of luck Aditi, as if you are good you will still get what you want.
Aditi was not so good but don't know why judges did not comment on that at Indian Idol. Abhijeet was best. My ranking for the contestent are:
1. Abhijeet 2. Amit Sana 3. Rahul 4. Ravinder 5. Prajakta 6. Aditi
I think judges are a bit partial and always say good words for girls though they were not so good today. Ravinder is improving by every week. I voted today for Abhijeet and Ravinder
It seems that Kishore Kumar songs are toughest to sing and that too when composed by the great R. D Burman. No singer at Indian Idol today performed as expected. Dear participants, yoodleeyoo can only be best sung by Kishore that is why it was never been tried. Most of the singers at Indian Idol tried to emulate him but I am sorry to say that they all failed.
Amit Sana the best singer so far was ok but he was also not that comfortable today. However, I liked Abhijeet and I am not sure why Sonu and Annu Mallik was against him. Prajakta was also good and I would say that she is a very Versatile singer. Ravinder was surprise package of the show today. I like Ravinder for his crystal clear voice, and today he proved that with a bit of guidence and practice, he could become a great singer.
Aditi seemed a bit overconfident. Be aware Aditi, as overconfidence does not go well with Indian audience. She sang very badly today. I think she should only choose Lata songs and avoid Asha songs altogether.
By far The safe list for me are: Amit Sana Prajakta Ravinder Abhijeet
I am infected with Indian Idol BUG, what about you. As Sony puts it for Indian Idol contest "Sab kuch bhula de", is very true. As we all know that we Indians have a soft corner for light and sweet music which is there in tons at the show. Indian Idol is a desi version of American Idol that is being aired at Star World whose last year winner was Fantasia Barrino and his albums after that were I Believe, Chain of Fools, and summertime. Indian audience love this type of shows which could be seen by huge success of Antyakchari which is being aired till date on Zee Tv. Don't miss any of the Indian Idol episodes and get INFECTED. :)
If anybody of you remembers, Amit Sana came to finals of INDIAN IDOL with a great difficulty and he was written off much before the finals started. Farah remarks were sometimes not very heartening which were made on his appearance.
In one of the promos, she says "CD ke kavar par aayega to kaisa lagega" (for somebody else though). Farah, I don't know for what this Indian Idol is but if he is going to record a CD then people will never buy a CD by its looks but they will always go for what is there in it.
This is a music award and people should only vote from heart - 10% and ears - 90% for Indian Idol Participants. Nearly all the contestant are not from very well off families and they did not had any formal training. Just give each of them some training and they will be kumar Sanu, Sonu Nigam of tomorrow. Each of them has the potential to be there, but my fovorite is "AMIT SANA". By the way I am too Amit(no favors though).
The warmth, great smile of Juhi Chawla as a special judge at [b]Indian Idol [/b]gave a new glamour to [b]Indian Idol[/b]. Juhi Chawla gave a very warm and heartening comment to every contestant. We all know that Juhi Chawla is a great actress but what we don't know is that she is a trained singer too.
With her comments, it was very evident that she felt the importance of the situation and the pain and effort the participants were putting in the highly popular event. During my college days, I was a great fan of Juhi Chawla. She is one of the actress whose talent is not fully explored. I was very impressed by her Teen Diwarain. Juhi, we want more of that kind of movie from you.

The Hosts for Indian Idol : Aman Yatan Verma & Mini Mathur
[b]Aman Yatan Verma[/b] son of Col Yatan Kumar Verma is one of the most special part of [b]Indian Idol[/b]. Aman Yatan Verma is MBA in Finance from Delhi University, and is a diploma holder in journalism. If I give points for success of the [b]Indian Idol [/b]then I would say 3/10 to Aman. He is one of the television’s hottest star and great host. As far as hosting of game shaws goes, I put him just behind Amitabh(KBC). He came to everybody home with Khul Ja Sim Sim.
[b]Mini Mathur[/b] an MBA, MTV VJ looks charming on the show. Her spontaneity on [b]Indian Idol[/b] is just great. She is a perfect choice for the hostess of the Indian Idol with her girl-next-door looks and great personality.

The Judges for Indian Idol: The great music show from India
My favorite and I love his songs and put him just after Kishore kumar. It is difficult, but Sonu Nigam has proved it that you could be successful in both Indipop and Play back singing. Sonu Nigam son of Agam Kumar a music enthusiast was born in Faridabad, Haryana. Sonu had a long struggle period and his carrer took of with when he was spotted by Gulshan Kumar and sang Achha sila diya tune mere pyaar ka from movie Bewafa Sanam.
He become more famous with Saregama a singing competition show on Zee TV. Sandese aate hain was his first major hit, which were chart busters for a long time. After that, he is growing every day and I wish we would be getting best songs from him in near future too. Sonu, please do more albums too as they are the one which I like most.
[b]Anu Malik[/b]
Plagiarizing and rehashing tunes is some of the things critics say about Anu Malik but the truth is that he is one of the most sought music director in the film industry now. Son of great music director Sardar Malik, Anu Malik's debut film was Aapas Ki Baat.
The turning point in his career was much later with Radha Ka Sangam followed by Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayi which brought much of critical acclaim. After this, there was no looking back.
[b]Farah Khan[/b]
One could say that innovation in dance direction was brought first by Farah Khan in India. She not only does dance direction for her numbers but also take a major seat in determining camera movements, camera angles, set design and even costumes.
She is one of the most successful dance directors in Indian film industry today. Some of her great work could be seen in Dil To Pagal Hai, Kaho Na Pyar Hai, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Dil Se and Monsoon Wedding.
