Indian Idol 3: A Modest Beginning

I have been watching American Idol with interest this season. So, when Indian Idol 3 kicked last night in Sony Entertainment Television, I was eagerly waiting to see something special like American Idol. However, I was disappointed. It was very monotonous and even superficial.

 

 

It seems that no everyone shares the same idea with me about Indian Idol 3.

Mini Mathur is back as the host and she is looking quite nice. In voiceover Mini informs us how awesome Indian Idol has been in the past. Introducing Abhijeet Sawant – the first Indian Idol and Sandeep Acharya – winner of Indian Idol 2!

Joining Mini as the host is the ever cute actor Hussain! He is no stranger to Reality Shows having won Nach Baliye 2 last year with his cuter wife Tina! Hussain is awesome addition to the show!

This year, Indian Idol went looking for Idol wannabes in 12 places and even went to London and Dubai – broadening the scope even more.

Sonu Nigam and Farah Khan left Indian Idol as judges and three new judges joined Annu Malek (yes, it’s spelt like that now) this season! Annu Malek is one of the music directors of India and a veteran as far as Indian Idol goes.

 

I just wish that the people behind Indian Idol watch American Idol regularly and learn some lessons about making Indian Idol very attractive. India wants to compete with the rest of the world in everything and Indian Idol can be a good place to do so.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Myself Sudipta Bhattacharjee from Manipur (Imphal),I m very much interested in music N i also passed the VISHARAD exam in classical music,so i want to participate in this great contest of music....nw i have been watching Indian Idol since last 2 years,n if i get the chance to express my songs in front of those three great judges i,e.Udit Narayan Ji,Alisha Ji N Anu Ji then this will be the most pleasurable chance for me and so i like to know about the auditions.

Yesetrday's episode showed many comic characters of which one running away with an yellow card appared to be ultimate. If it is seen as sample of our population I wonder what can sheer desperation can bring in!
Real salam to judges who are trying to search for pearl with such degree of optimism!
Great program, high quality production - looking for VOICE of prophecy!

mam,
please send my message to iman chatterjee one perticipant of your competition "indian idol".my message is

Hello its shaoib farooqui from pakistan karachi and i want to participate in Indian idol.will you plz tell me what is the procedure to participate in this Program?

i like prasant bcoz hes d best
n i know he will succeed so
prasant keep going on so frek
b wild b cool n frek d world
my prayers r alwayz wit u

i like parleen's voice because its very soft an touching.i think he is the best ,so all u people out there vote for him.

Prashant Tamang gave a rocking performance so did the Chinese dude, Chang in the seond piano round. Its amazing how they could cope up with the dialect. Its worth appreciating.

hi,i am deeksha 13year's old i like parleen and suhit's voice allthe best 2u both parleen will be next indian idol im dam sure

hi
i like chang n prashant tamang the nest..they have great voice n are also better than any other guys n girls...
i think they both should be the indian idol...
i wish i could vote but right now i am not in india
anyways all the best

hi
i like chang n prashant tamang the best..they have great voice n are also better than any other guys n girls...
i think they both should be the indian idols...
i wish i could vote for them but right now i am not in india..n lets not be partial to them after all they are indians
anyways all the best

hey parashant. your really good. keep it up and you will go ahead. love your singing style

Prashant is the best, Emon is good but I find his originality is more inclined towards Sonu Nigam and therefore lacks originality. Prashant has a style of his own and a mature and quality voice. Prashant should be the one and as said above, he is an Indian too. When Sonia Gandhi can opt to become the Prime Minister, Prashant is not foreign born but a true Indian. And the top is that he is a police sepoy! What more Indian can he be. Prashant rocks, I am voting for him. Girls are good but not as good as the guys.

Hey prasant,
Gud luck , I hope you will be next Indian Idol.. We all neplease guys are with you,,,we can not do any thing but we can pray for you.....once agin well done man

mm i really think parleen is gonna win.. he looks like a winner from his face... and nonetheless.. when he performed the first time.. i m pretty sure everyone was lost in his performance..

i want rehaan to win and get his 4 sisters married:( hes not a bad singer though!!

hi ,
i like emon and charu becoz they both have great voice and i will be very happy if one of them will win....

HEY PRASHANT
I LIKE PRASHANT VOICE. I WISH YOU TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL AND BE INDIAN IDOL3

HEY PRASHANT

Prashant u r the gem of all. U have a different style of singing from the rest of the participants. U r the best and u have to stand the best of all. Though I am not in India (Darjeeling) right now and cannot vote, but my best wishes are always with u. U r the "Pahar ko Chora" and U have to keep the name of our lovely pahar "Darjeeling".
All the best.

Alisha Chenai,
U don't have the taste of music and voice.How come u are sitting there juding such good talents. U are simply being partial towards Suhit and I think you are not going by voices but rather going by looks.

Prashant, you are an original.
You have a very natural, sincere and a soulful voice and you deserve the indian idol 3 title. Wish you all the best!
I like Emon as well, but dont find him his own singer- Sonu Nigam a lot of times.
Prashant, Emon and Deepali are my top choices with Prashant being my first choice.

Parleen is da best he iz gonna win da indian idol 3!!
plzz people keep voting for him11

I'm Kinza also known as Zahida I'm turning eleven on July 1, 2007. I was saying that Suhit rocks! He is a rocker!! He represents all the rockers in the world. If you close your eyes, you will hear a true singer's voice. The other person's voice I like is Emon. He has everything to be idol. I like Prashant, but if you look the other way, he' tooooooooo thin. anyway, parleen's fine. Padmanav is really serious about this. Amit has a fine voice. Man, I don't believe aisha is not in this. as you can see I'm a muslim like her. That's totally impossible. I Hate Bhavin. He is already a singer. Why come to idol? abhishek is mean!!! When abhishek and suhit were out there, and he found out he was safe. he totally ignored him. Though he is a good singer. Rehan was good if only he sang a mukesh song. He would make a party. I like ankita sometimes!!! sometimes!!! Hope you heard that. I'm not glad Jolly das back. Not at all!!! Charu will be in top five but i'm not sure about her. Deepali rocks!!! Puja, I don't know why everyone's crazy about her but i don't like her. NNot at all. Anyway, a singer should be an all-rounder.
There are lot of good contestants who are not an all rounder.


Richa should be kicked out!! I don't know why everyone is crazy about her. won't it look weird if you are watching a song of Amrita Rao and Shahid Kapoor and you hear a girl's voice instead of a women's. She has never been in bottom four. That's impossible. Smitha's ugly, but i knew she could make top ten

These are the people i always see as indian idol in my dreams
Abhishek
Emon
Deepali
Puja
Charu
Chang
Richa

Some of you thinks its unbelievable, but to me yeah!!!
i like suhit, but i can never ever see him idol, but wish i could.

I don't know about Jolly.............yet.
she was breathing a lot in barso re megha megha

Here are my judges choices.
The best to worst.
Best: Udit or Alisha Hard to decide I think alisha is better with udit gi cause she supports suhit
Fine: anu malik he's a nice judge though
WORST: javed akhtar,
man he has a problem
If you put the original movie song out in front of him. He will say it has a problem.
Oh my gosh, what an insulting thing to say to Suhit.
may jouth bolinga yeh me ne tumke chooa and what the car analogy. Now that was mean!!!!!!
I don't get that not a lot of people like suhit. Why, Prashant was not even happy when he was safe in wild card round man! its mean!

Kinza aka zahida

no doubt about prashant being a good singer but whats the thingy with wild card ..wasnt it suppose to be a computer generated rather than being a judge favourite hmm not very interesting and very unfair

hi emon
You have a great voice with great smile. I wish you best of luck. I hope you are the third indian idole.
aarzoo

HEY CHANG,
I LOVE THE WAY U SMILE,THE WAY U SING AND THE WAY U DRESS. 'AB TO INDIAN IDOL BANJAOO OR MUJHE BHI APNI DAATKI CHECK UP KARNI HAI'

JENNIFER

parleen is the best contestent . he will be the bindian idol of 2007.
PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ VOTE FOR PARLEEN

Asalam-u-Elaikum....
First of all i would like to thank indains that, they have started such beautiful serial of singing...U people know that every pakistani will sit on infront of TV when the day Indian idol serial start.

any way all singers are excellent but following are the best

Emon
Deepali
Puja
Charu
Chang
Richa
Pershant

I think indian idol will be some one from following three..

1) Chang

2) Pershant

3) Cjaru or Deepali.

As for as Richa is concerned, she has a beautifull voice but still she has to grow up :(

Dear Prashant,
I am going very far from India and i will not be able to watch your show, but i hope I can hear that Prashant won the race and called "Prashant the Indian Idol."
Wishing you good luck.
Reeta

Mr.Mallik,
May be you are a good judge but yesterday i was watching Indian Idol show and you were fighting for nothing like a nonsense and you were spoiling their mood of performance, better you leave the show and fight with the lady.Please behave with the contestents, they are begineers, not like you, you were demoralising them, you were talking nonsense about their relationship and it is their personal life you have nothing to do with it.Can't you realise that it was the matter of her character its not a joke. Behave yourself.I hope we will not waste our time by watching indian Idol and the judge like you.

Prashant you are great! I like your voice.
you will win the Indian idol crown.
best of luck!

Hi, I'm Sheeba from Pakistan (Lahore). Indian idol is rocking with Emon, Puja and Deepali. My best of luck to three of u. Work hard more and more. U all three are my favorite and when u lose I will get hurt but Puja I wish U become Indian Idol this time. I will keep my fingers crossed rest the ball is in now in ur court.

Hi, Sheeba again from Pakistan. It was really shocking and heart breaking to see Deepali go out but I liked the way Deepali stayed cool, she is the real champion. Deepali U got guts. God has something really Big for u in the future, take my word. I pray that Emon and Puja stay and compet till end and may one of them become Indian Idol. Amen. Work hard both of u. God bless u both.

I like EMON. He is best singer.

I am ASAD from DHAKA.
