Idea Dhoom Macha De will see eleven of India's most popular and professional singers compete against one another for the title of the country's best LIVE performer.

Says Jaspinder Narula who performed on the tapori number, Chodhna Chodhna Re, "I was very nervous and unsure before my performance, but once I got on stage, I just decided to give it my best shot! The judges and audience enjoyed it so much, that they asked me to perform once more!" Speaking about his performance, Baba Sehgal said, "I had a great time performing for this episode where all the artists were supposed to sing different genre of music! I sang 'Taarein Zameen Par' as I love the song and my son insisted I sing it!"


Sapna Awasthi who sang 'Sun Saiba Sun' said, "I really like this song and love the way it has been sung. Lataji has sung it so effortlessly and with such simplicity that I would like to salute her! As I was given a chance to perform a song of a different style, I chose Sun Saiba Sun and decided to give it my best!"

Jassi who sang a ghazal titled Apne Jeevan Ka Andaaz Nirala Hain adds, "I chose to sing this ghazal because the lyrics are very meaningful. Also, the song conveys a strong social message. I thought it was the perfect platform for me to sing this song as the message would reach out to the whole country. I really enjoyed singing this ghazal, which is very different from my usual style and felt very peaceful after the performance!" Richa Sharma added, "I have sung songs for over sixty films, but never got a chance to sing a sexy number like Raat Akeli Hain. I like this song a lot, and when I was told about the "hatke" theme, I decided to sing it! I had a great time singing this track and I hope the television audiences also enjoy it!"
