Was busy and only today got a chance to give a dekho to the two episodes of II this week...I am sure things might be discussed in length on the forums by now but could not stop myself from sharing my views...My two cents follow:
An excellent opportunity missed or a worthy decision?
This time IMO Indian Idol just messed it all up...Me being a big Rakesh Fan was surprised (and glad too) that the judges gave him a privilege big enough by using their veto power for him and terminating the chances of saving a Sreeram or a Shivam in the future...This was a big decision....and could have serious repercussions as well...What if Shivam gets eliminated next weekđł...will it pinch then ? Even I cant decide....
BUT things were fine...Judges thought Rakesh was a potential II and they gave him another chance...the show could have played "Give me another chance I wanna grow up once again (give me some sunshine)" (Aamir could have been happy too sans a reference to his movie's songđ) and it was enough to make people wear their thinking caps and analyze the after effects of the veto being used!
AND RIGHT THAN Anu says something weirdđ (why is it always Anuđ) and I still dont understand what thought went behind it ?
Aamir told Anu to use the veto power đ Ahemmm....Now is this a joke? If Aamir is to direct what the *worthy* judges have to do why dont they make him a judge and let these dummies sit at homeđ With due respect to Aamir and his opinions ( I am a big Aamir fan toođł) ... But actually no one wants an elimination ( though I seriously want to bid Adieu to Bhumi and Swaroopđ€...No offence plz) Does that mean Anu, Sunidhi and Saleem have no opinion of their own...After weeks of hearing all of these singers, even today they cant decide on their own of where to use a Veto Power...They have to be guided by a certain sweet*celebrity guest*....This just takes away from the integrity of judgment on the show!
Who is effected?
In all this HD drama...the poor soul who gets effected IMO is Rakesh himself....Imagine you come first in your exams and right after results your teacher comes to you and tells you "I was told by a certain Mr.xyz to give you first position"....OR.... "You did great! you deserved this position...keep it up! " Decide for yourself, which one would you like to hear ?
Poor Rakesh....They just took it all away from him...I feel sorry for him...all of a sudden he looks as if he has snatched away the right of others...as if the veto was wasted on him.....as if he was just not worthy enough....It was all because of Aamir and his *desire* that Rakesh is saved....and not cuz of his talent! Pathetic way of handling it all !
Playing Aamir's clip was the worst thing that ever happened on II till date....they just made it all look like a kids show where a fairy Godmother (read Aamir Khan) comes and saves the kids from the wrath of the evils.....
There is just one question...Was this veto power needed at all? In my opinion it just took away all the magic that II5 had đ„± Distasteful!
