sunnyg Its too difficult!!! i think even abhijeet and Amit can't decide who is the best...Abhijeet is my all time favorite but today's Amit's performance has forced me to vote for Amit more than Abhijeet...well done. no matter who wins, we hav some fantastic singers to hear in the form of these two
Zeenita Amit outsung Abhijeet today. He stole the show and I saw a lot of feeling in Amit's performance. All three rounds to Amit I say!!!
Namrata Agarwal Abhijeet is a complete package of INDION IDOL!!! He desreves to be INDION IDOL!!!
Mostaque Abhijeet is the Indian Idol. He is outstanding in his performance. Amit is not far way from Abhijeet. I think, this is 52% for Abhijeet and 48% for Amit. Indian actually gets two great singer who has there own natural voice. Mostaque, ahmedmanik@yahoo.com, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Gaurav Outstanding, mind blowing, out of the world. That was Sana today.
Ravi Abhijeet, Rahul were good but Amit showed that he was a class apart.
Naureen After watching the grand finale strongly felt that most of the judges and anchors were biased in their comments and attitudes towards Amit Sana.Sometimes it was like they were campaigning for him more than commenting. I think both Amit and Abhijeet sang extremely well and it will be a very tight contest. But I really feel sorry for Abhijeet. It must have been hard for him to accept the judges’ discriminatory attitude.
sudhanshu both were really good.. as a pure singer, Amit is better but as a whole package(as sony always said its not only a singing compition)Abhijeet is far ahed(if it had been SA RE Ga Ma.. then Amit would have been the winner. sonu anu and farah were with Amit though he couldn't sing the last portion of the third song properly
Kiran if its singing competition then Amit is at least 100 Km ahead from Abhijeet. But we are looking complete package so Abhijeet overshadows amit sana in various aspects. especially Abhijeets expressions in all three songs..it really gave goosebumps . Ofcourse, all of us are confused to whom should we choose Indian Idol? My vote is for ABHIJEET !! if you have any comments kindly mail me at neo601@gmail.com
Vinay Both have Song Very well. But the last song Abhijeet has song better than Amit. So I will give my vote to Abhijeet.
Satvik After watching the final strongly felt that judges (Sonu & Farah) and anchors were biased in their comments towards Amit Sana.Sometimes it was like they were campaigning for him. I think both Amit and Abhijeet sang Very well and it will be a very tight contest. But I feel Abhijeet is better than Amit. Abhijeet voice has a sweetness But Amit voice not at all.
Kubra Amit Sana...any time...He has got a wonderful voice quality and is immensely an excellent singer and very consistent... Has appeared in bottom three very rarely compared to Abhijeet Sawant.
Kiran Yup these judges are really biased..they glorified Amit Sana's performance too much. both sang well ...but if u see judges choice round. The song given to Amit is high pitch, latest and popular song. Abhijeet got a choclate and bit old song where he could not show much of his quality. But still i feel he gave best treatment to the song. in last song Amit tried to show his talent with voice variations which was not required. The neo601@gmail.com
Jaya Both Amit and Abhijeet have done well. Both of them are different types of singers. Amit is very perfect in his Sur , Taal and in his musical talent. Abhijeet is also good but definitely comes behind Amit. Abhijeets advantage is his unique voice but I think it will suit only a few type of songs - romantic and soft. Amit's voice is versatile. It can suir all types of songs and he sounds younger also.....

ahsan indian idol is for finding the best singer, i repeat SINGER from india. now someone tell about package. but this is not a beauty contest competition. From the indian idol 100% marks for AMIT SANA as a SINGER 70% + 30% marks for ABHIJEET as for MODEL (70%) + SINGER (30%) now is upto YOU, weather u wanna to find INDIAN's INDIAN IDOL or something else called package.
Harry Today Final I felt both are Song Very well. First two song both area song very well. But the last song Abhijeet has song better than Amit. I don't why amit has song this song in western style. It's was so odd to here. The judges i don't know why they are giving such good comments for this type of song. I know the Farah knowldege of siningng is 0%.
Sohin Why not all these Kaua lovers in the name and guise of Amit Sana Fan club go to some pure music base programme like SaRe GaMa to find and exult their hero like Ameet Sana who has nothing in the department of personality?! That would end this horror named Amit Sana surpassing like of Rahul Vaidya and Prajkta, who were 1000 times more personable and even in music department were almost equal. ....
Chinaswamy Today in the final gala Amit Brother has told that his brother amit has given just 30% And 70% he will give after the 1 Crores. So his brother is also not like his yesterdays performance.
Pranjali Today, both of them sang very well, but Abhijeet took over by 3rd song which was the best performance of THE whole Indian Idol programme.
SATISH Reply to: Sohin My veiws are not as extreme as Sohin. But Abhijeet is complete Idol compared to Amit sana. Now at this stage we should consider everything not only singing. You all must have seen how Amit sana was playing Cricket :) somebody is saying about Viva and Aasma..but i feel singing class of Aasmaa and Viva is not comparable with these two guys..these two are way ahead of them. asatsi@yahoo.com
Anwesha Ghosh Both the contestants performances were outstanding, though I must say that judges and anchors were clerly partial towards Amit Sana. To me ABHIJEET is the right person amongst the two to be crowned "INDIAN IDOL". anwesha28@yahoo.com
virender kumar At this stage it is very difficult to judge both the singers, but i would vote for Abhijeet only and he should be the Indian Idol
Sanjana Amit showed yesterday what it is like to push the limits, He showed he could do it , bring his own trademark to the songs he was given,,, Abhijeet was ok but i think he became a victim to complacency --- I made people sit up and notice him specially those who thought he was not competition to Abhijeet . Vote for Sana -
Renu I think Amit deserve to the Indian Idol. I dont think looks are more inportant that singing as nobody will see you when you are singing in the background. What important is you singing. You are not performing to be a actor or a model.... you are performing to become a signer.
Mona Its SANA all the way...we need new face new voice for new generation..we don't need kumar sanu oops i mean Abhijeet :)
Rajni Amit Sana is a fighter..even though people root more for Abhijeet..amit sana knowing this gave him a tough competition.It shows his capability to learn and grow as a singer.As far as looks are concerned thats a secondary issue.Things like that can be easily changed these days, you can see it happen in this show itself. AMIT SANA- My Indian Idol.
Puneet Both Amit and Abhijeet were too good. We have got 2 amazing singers.. Amit has been my fav all throught out Indian Idol and on grand finale he outsung Abhijeet marginally.. All the best to both.. Puneet
It was ok and the best have won. But, what I did not liked was comment from Abhijeet at today India Idol show, "Rahul is better then me". So many Indians have shown faith in him and above all if you think that the man in front of you is better, then why to compete with him. Abhijeet, believe in yourself as Indian have said that you are the best and that means you are THE BEST.
Now I only look forward to the finals of Indian Idol. I think it will be one of the toughest comptetion ever seen on Indian television, where the deserving and the best will be in front of one another. Lets all wait with fingures crossed.
Today, Abhijeet performance was above par and I am sure if he enters the bollywood right now, he would give the best of singers run for their money. Now, it does not matters who wins the Indian Idol but after hearing criminal song "Tum mile" from Abhijeet, I am assured once again that he is the best.
Amit Sana was also good today and as usual, Rahul sang like a mimicry artist, a copycat of Sonu Nigam. Sudhesh Bhosle is enough and we don't want another like him. Anybody comes out of Indian Idol as a winner; I just want he should have a voice of his own. If Abhijeet is not in the finals then there is no point in watching Indian Idol anymore. I think most of you would agree. :)
Abhijeet was no doubt the best. I am not sure how he did all this but there is a sea change in the quality and variation in the singing style of Abhijeet at Indian Idol. He is no doubt the Indian Idol for me as of now.
Amit Sana is a very good singer but it was evident today that he has a bad throat. I would rate him with Abhijeet.
Rahul was good but not as like the other 2 male singers. He must try to sing in his own voice and should not try to emulate someone else.
Prajakta was very bad today and she is for sure going out tomorrow.
Visitors for my blog have made me realise with their mails that the show must go on and I should follow Indian Idol till the last episode. Now lets start it with the mails I got:
I support your view fully. Unfortunately, our so-called judges want to show that western attitude. Indian Idol is not about looks but the voice. Something, which should attract everyone. In American Idol, twice the blacks have won the idol. However, unfortunately in India it is discrimination between high society and low...Even though he was a painter he did work hard. Maybe he was not fit to be an idol but that does not mean he has to be ill-treated. In fact, Sonu has no right to say to him that he is the cause for the good singers getting out. Otherwise, why will he get out? Believe me.. Music doesn’t mean Hindi, it also includes a lot of languages from north and south.. I hope he does come up in the later stages becoz of his voice. He surely cannot afford training becoz of his financial status. but appreciate him becoz he worked hard.
I hope in future Indian Idol select more experience judges like Alka Yagnik or experience Music Directors like...... Gulzar , Javed Akhtar and not judges who go for color of skin or looks of mod...I wish the others the best of luck for the rest of the episode. Ramya
Your ideas about Ravinder are correct he was a great singer. I also didn’t like the judges attitude towards him, a person from such a humble background could do so much was really commendable. I am also very upset but just do let me know if possible is he going back to the same life or will he get sufficient money to improve his lifestyle & see better days. Arati
Indian idol is great show except the hyperbolic comments of judges. They shower so much praise on some of their favorites and criticize too much the poor Ravinder. I feel the judges and host show some respect for the participant who has reached the level of last five. This is indirectly a insult to viewers who have voted Ravinder till last five rounds. It is true then Ravinder was better than Prajakta in last round where he lost to Prajakta. I respect his maturity and patience and wonder how the other participants will keep thier moral high if such nasty unwanted comments are passed against them.I personally feel for some types of songs Ravinder's voice is best among all the contestants and his handwork and luck will help him to come at the top. Sanjay Malpe Nagpur
Why u and others like u, making joke of the show. At last Ravi is out, he no deserving contestant in Indian Idol and should be there in last 30. He is not trained and a painter, that pitiable point...what Indian immaturities. he has no sur and versatility. Many suffered not becoz of him but bcoz of fools voted for him. Sony has made a mistake of sending multiple votes by one rule. if u a music lover, u should have knowledge of music...! What a joke with other talents! The Karvs My Thoughts: Who brought Ravinder in first 10? It was these judges only. So why this much shout that he was not deserving and he should be in last 30. This seems sticky.
Its very hard to understand Indian audience mood. But, lets give full respect to the choice for making it last episode for Ravinder ravi. He would not be there to entertain us from next week. I always loved his voice quality. I think this week, he was better than Prajakta.
Anyways, I think "Indian Idol" from now on would become a programme people would definitely see but dont know if they would have same emotions and enthusiam attached to it.
Looks like this is going to be my last blog. This blog site, therefore, stands closed as Ravinder was a very strong contender for Indian Idol for me.
God bless Ravinder Ravi!
Thanks to all of you for taking active participation in my blog!
First the ranking. Abhijeet is really a surprise as every week he is getting better and better. In the begining I never noticed him but since patriotic song week he has come par with Amit Sana. Today my ranking goes like this: 1. Abhijeet & Amit Sana 3. Rahul 4. Ravinder 5. Prajakta
Rahul was very good today. Only drawback he had was, whenever I listen to his songs, I feel I have heard this voice somewhere. In Indian film Industry, we have several singers who could sing like Rafi. What we need more is original voice i.e somebody like Udit Narayan. Abhijeet and Amit Sana has that in them.
Ravinder was also very good today but again :( reviews from the judges. Now, that doesn't matters. Prajakta was ok today but I rate Ravinder above then her. Lets see what happens tomorrow.
I started the blog with an intention to have a healthy discussion on Indian Idol. I think I have succeeded in it a bit. Now, I could see that we have 2 groups between us. One who respect the people verdict and support Ravinder as he is, and the other group which speaks more like all the 3 judges at Indian Idol.
What majority of people think is always not right and what expert think too is always not true or else we would not had a star like Amitabh Bachchan. Remember, he was thrown out of every directors office as they thought he could not act or he did not had face for camera. 1 director gave him chance and people made him star overnight. 10's of so-called expert directors rejected him and people accepted him in one go. Now in Indian Idol, if people are voting for Ravinder, there might be something in him other then financial background (suggested by most of the visitors). Experts can miss that SOMETHING.
