Hello everyone!

Alas!

Public opinions are irrational...and these opinions make or break lives on Indian Idol!

Today we witnessed some dreams being shattered...and it was heart wrenching to see Swaroop snatching it all away from Shivam....a singer who earned my respect over the course of time.....

Shivam was undoubtedly the best *voice* of Indian Idol 5....but its not about voice....He lost on grounds of establishing a connection with the public....A regular in the bottoms, he still kept giving brilliant performances in a row....hardly do I remember a weak performance from his side!

Shivam's ouster takes away from II5 the charm it had! His absence would be deeply felt in whatever days remain and for me he will stay as one of the most competent contestants of II5 and also of Indian Idol in general!

Please post your wishes and praises for Shivam below and let him know he will be truly missed on the show!

Am leaving you with one of his performances which was my favorite! You can also post your favorite performances here!

Shivam is a great singer and he gave a few of the most memorable performances this season, with 'Pichhle Saat Dino Mein', 'Khaike Paan' and 'Parda Hai'.

I hope he gets offers for film singing soon. Shankar Mahadevan seemed to have taken a liking to him. 😉

Indeed, a gem has been lost! I saw him in the top 3. May life treat him well and may he get what he deserves in life. He truly is a wonderful singer!

I'm sorry, but this is the stupidest decision the Indian public has taken. Shashi was one gem that had been lost already and now it is Shivam (who was supposed to be in top 2). Now the only thing I have to say is that I think the judges are fixing the whole game. It's like whoever they want, the keep them. And indian public is stupid to keep voting and wasting money. Rakesh does not deserve to be in the top 5, and now he's in the top 4. Shashi, Shivam, and Shreeram were supposed to be the top three. And now I think it will end up as Bhoomi (Who sucks by the way. Only the Gujarati audience is voting for her just because she's Gujarati). And don't think I'm being prejudiced against Gujaratis. I'm Gujarati as well. Swaroop, who is good, but not as good as Shivam or Shreeram. And Rakesh, who as I said before does not deserve this position at all. It's like Sunidhi has fallen in love with Rakesh, and that's why he's still there. See Salim's comments don't matter at all. Anu and Sunidhi like Bhoomi and Rakesh and that's why they are still there. This is stupid. When will the public realize that the contestants they like the most are removed from the competition. And Shivam is the perfect example. I'm thinking like last year when Saurabhee won ( she didn't deserve it at all as well, Rajdeep did ) this year Bhoomi will win. And she won't deserve it as well. And this is the truth. Everyone knows it. There's no point in supporting a contestant because they are of your caste or religion. After all they are all Indians and humans. Please stop being idiots and start voting for the worthy contestants. You still have time. Vote for Shreeram and let him win what he deserves. 🥱

Thanks for opening this topic for Shivam. It was really sad to see him go so soon, I had hoped to see him and Sreeram in the Top 2. That would have been the most fair outcome of Indian Idol for me.

From the very start of Indian Idol, it was Shivam who was one of the first contestants, who immediately grabbed my attention, his audition performance, 'Soona Soona' was mind-blowing, Shivam handled this difficult song so well and effortlessly that I was amazed.

Gradually, as the show progressed, Shivam started to sparkle more and more with his outstanding singing. His 'Khudaya Ve' is unforgettable for me. It kept on ringing in my mind for days.

Shivam gave numerous excellent performances on the stage of Indian Idol. I loved his performance on 'Parda Hai' and 'Pan Banaras Wala' a lot. And it was so great to see him sing 'Tu Fiza Hai'. Have all the wonderful memories associated with these performances of Shivam.

He rightly was a Jerry Mouse, who loved to keep everyone happy. All the contestants loved him. A talented singer with a totally unique voice, I am quite sure that he will soon become a successful singer. I just hope that he keeps up the spirit of hard work, will be waiting to hear his voice in hit Bollywood songs soon. Keep Rocking Shivam! 👍🏼

Well said. Salim likes Sreeram and Swaroop but he hardly has a say in matters I feel. Sunidhi and Anu are dominating proceedings. Anu we all know what kind he is and Sunidhi ma'am is town between Rakesh babu and jerry mouse. 😳
