Indian Idol will never have a proper winner again. - Page 7

Sandeep wasn't besura, prashant wasn't besura at all, and if Sourbhee wins she won't be besuri either, none of these seasons had any besura singer, but always for sum reason the least deserving wins!

and i have already mentioned these names earlier, gonna mention them again

abhijeet sawant, rahul vaidya, prajakta shukre, emon chatterjee, monali thakur, Karunya Nc, Bhannu, Rajdeep chaterjee, Amit Paul (who has recently sung a song from luck by chance), Amey Date, Rahul Saxena and many more were amazing singers

Sandeep and Prashant were both besure, especially Prashant. And let's put it this way, that Sourbhee is the least besuri of the three finalists. The 4 seasons of II have been filled with so many besure singers...it's not even funny. And I have already mentioned that I don't think there's anything great about any of those singers except Karunya when compared to SRGMP singers...so I don't get the point of you taking those names again and again. As for how popular those songs were..well neither was mar jawan or pyar ki dastan that popular. You can say they were as popular as Mera dil.

better singers is whats important na.........its afterall a singing competition........whats the point in dressing them well if they can't sing in sur......

It reminds me of what Javed saab said last season. AC gaadi ka fayda kya, agar gadi chal hi nahi sakti. 😆 Well I guess some people prefer just sitting there in that AC car even if it takes them nowhere. 😛

Frankly I don't care how these singers look. Udit Narayan is not the most handsome man in the world but I still love him as a singer. Sukhwinder Singh has the most hideous dressing sense but do we care about that when listening to him sing...or even while watching his concerts?

About II "grooming" the singers. How about they quit wasting that much time and money on the looks and try grooming their voices instead. That's what happens in SRGMP, which is why we see improvement in the singers as the show goes on. II's quality just continously deteriorates. As each week passes by, the singers might start looking more beautiful but their voices start sounding ugly.

About the sets..II has the same boring look all the time. SRGMP changes it every week to suit the theme. I agree they went overboard this year, but in 07 and LC2 they did some really nice stuff with the sets....like having the whole "mehfil" set up for qawalli theme and stuff like that. Oh that also reminds me, the themes in SRGMP are usually better, and they are more free with their format. For example, they have duet rounds with the judges/hosts/guests and stuff.

Let's just say both shows are true to their names. SaReGaMaPa is more about sur while Indian Idol takes Indians and turns them into decorated idols (statues).

Well said. The only thing with SRGMP is that it seems to have lost its charm and credibility a bit too. If you have been watching the show since the time it was hosted by Sonu, you'd see the charm has been lost. You dont get classical singers like Lataji or legandary music directors like O P Nayyar coming on the show.

Instead you get mockery by havin g Himesh and the rest who keep giving everyone history. And crowd pullers like Asma for gaining publicity.

Not that II is much better. I dont see a single reason to why Sonali Bendre is on the show. IMO Javed is the only decent judge.

And i dont see the reason for all the glam. If you want glam watch a fashion show. You want proper sur watch a singing contest!

@shehzaadi91........well said.......completely agree with you.

@sneha3105..........ya SRGMP has lost a bit of its credibility........In my opinion since they started public voting the focus has been more on creating controversies to attract public attention.........but nevertheless the quality of singers is far better than II........and completely agree with your last sentence.

You are absolutely right, in a perfect world people would just listen to singing and not be bothered by the backdrop, appearance or clothes. As in a perfect world socialism works, people pay taxes without the fear of penalties and are perfect law abiding citizens.

It is important to note that Goddess Saraswati, goddess of learning, music and creative arts look like Saraswati and not like Kali, who is aptly the goddess of destruction.

Is it too much to expect Zee to invest money which they are getting out of the audience, on the contestants themselves?

ya u r right its not a perfect world & appearances do matter........but i would still like to believe that those who are true music lovers will always give singing preference over anything else.

Also its not like the SRGMP contestants are shabbily dressed........maybe the glam quotient is not high as in II.......but they are definitely presentable.......atleast most are.

Plus half of the people in SRGMP are not even from india, as if like india doesn't have enough talent

Also I noticed that the moderators possibly removed the discussion titled "Sonali Bendre way out of order".
