My thoughts of this season:

- High quality of singing and contestants. Loved the variety. We had Sreeram, Shashi, Vishwas but also Swaroop Naushad Shivam etc. and yeah i liked none of the girls this year. 😕

- Sreerams performces were the highlight for me this season, i think i dont need to say more about him.
But except that, some other outstanding performances! Like some of Swaroops performances (especially the last one) or Rakesh - Tumne Mujhe Dekha or Shivam - Khudaaya Ve. 👏

- I liked the judges. Yes the latest episodes Salim had been repeating himself...but he was eye candy to look at 😳 Sunidhi is my fav. singer and i think as a judge she was really good! And she added something to the show. and i thought Anu was really calmed down this year too!

- The great and hilarious hosts Abhijeet Sawant and Hussain. There were some days they totally cracked me up, they were so funny! 😆
But HAVE to agree with Xobile on this one, why didnt Abhijeet sing more 😔 You know, when i knew he would be hosting II...i just started watching for him because i badly wanted to see some performances of Abhijeet again. Every episode i kept thinking: Let Abhijeet sing, let him singg. In fact, i thought he should be singing in the beginning of every episode. On his twitter he said he would maybe sing in the finals again. And so i was, anxiously waiting for his performance yesterday. BUT HE DIDNT PERFORM! 😭

- I totally loved last week where they showed indian idol everyday (except Friday) 😃

Now on the Grand Finale:

- Everyone looked awesome! Liked Sunidhis dress! 😳 Kareena also looked nice!

- Didnt like it at the beginning. Top 3 was dancing and lip synching ( Sreeram looked great though in Mar Jaani performance) but I expected some last final blockbuster live performances!
When Rakesh came with Maa Dalaadla i was like: what is this? 👎🏼
But then came Sajda which i liked. It was live and he sang good!

- Bhoomis performance was totally rock theme...and energetic, but i didnt like it. Also her performance with Alisha wasnt that great.

- Loved to see Swaroop back. His rock performance was quite funny. And Naushad and Vishwas with Kailash were awesome! 👏
And i was sooo happy to see Shivam...he didnt get much footage though 😒

- Fully agreed on Sunidhi. In the starting i was like: what the....It was really improper yes and i didnt like her song selection either. And again, i would have liked it more if she sang live.
and yes again agreed, contestants should have got more time to share their thoughts. i mean after the results were declared no one even talked about Bhoomi or Rakesh.

- Sreeram again with Shankar was mindblowing. Especially Jhoom Barabar Jhoom...i was jumping and dancing on the sofa myself 😆 Now that was actually a ROCKING performance, i thought it was amazing! And i loved Shankars praise for Sreeram 😍

- Loved the Amitabh songs....Sreeram lol he was sooo funny, with Chumma. And then with the questions, i really coudnt help laughing when Sreeram imitated Amitabh..it was hilarious 🤣

- Nice to watch Top 13 again. Naushad, Vishas, Shivam...just everyone 😳 I wanted more performances of them!

- Time to announce the resultssss. Loved it when Hussain said: There is one true Indian idol standing next to me and thats Abhijeet Sawant. And now the next one will be announced in few minutes.

You could see Rakesh was like prayingg too godd. And then BAM Sreeram was the winner!
OMG his expression! 😆 He was numb. He was like: Eehm is that my face? Did i actually won? Is this true? 😲
Even after that he couldnt speak hehe 😆, but it was the best thing to see him smiling with the trophy in his hand. And then he said: I love you all...wah wah 😳

But really missing it yaar, today its monday and i would be watching idols right now 😭

But well this were my thoughts....Great end to a great season!!

Jai Sreeram!

Great topic, Sushruta! :)

Some thoughts on the season ...

1) I really enjoyed Sunidhi and Salim's presence on Idol this season. Although their comments were very disappointing many times throughout the season, they had their times when they spoke openly and honestly to the contestants. I feel that we really can't blame them or doubt them because the production does treat them like puppets, and we already know that. I don't blame the judges for the excessive Rakesh Maini hype this season, heck I don't even blame Rakesh himself! Anyways, Anu Malik definitely toned his comments down a couple of notches after the whole Swaroop fiasco. He wasn't himself, but I think the judges (all three of them together) made a large contribution to the success of the season.

2) I started appreciating Hussain's anchoring skills this season. Most definitely. His charisma brings more charm to the episodes. He definitely has this way of bringing Idol together. During his absence, the episodes seem lackluster.

3) Sreeram - he was the reason I stuck it out throughout the whole season. Sreeram's performances said ti all. Nothing more to say there at all! I also want to applaud singers like Shashi, Shivam, and Rakesh who had definite potential, and at different times, gave Sreeram a good competition. I definitely agree that girls were terribly disappointing this season!

4) I thoroughly enjoyed the mentors earlier this season, and I hope that next season they will bring in more musical mentors throughout the season and not ridiculous actors promoting their flop movies!

About the finale ...

5) Hated the way the winner was announced! What about announcing the runner-ups? Or giving them some time on stage? Letting the judges say something to the contestants or to the winner?

6) Kareena and Big B's presence on stage was so LAME! Their selfish reasons for coming to the finale were beyond irritating. Hussain announcing the winner would have been a better choice, I think!

7) Sunidhi's performance .... errmmm, what was that? I thought this was neither the right time nor the right stage for such a performance. She's a judge on the show ... this is a singing show! She would've been better off giving a performance like Richa Sharma, Shankar M, Kailash Kher, etc.

8) I thoroughly enjoyed Sreeram and Shankar M's performance - I thought it was the best one yesterday!

And I would just like to add that Sreeram winning this competition made everything so perfect this season! He has delivered from day one without any drama, sob stories, etc and just on the pure basis of talent. I really hope that he makes it big in the industry sometime soon! I wish him all the best ... what a deserving contestant! :)

And for the forum ... I just want to add that I had a blast this season. We all dealt with crazy MIDs and some generally insane members on the section, but I must say that despite it all, we put up with it. We had some good discussions, long debates, and some fun times. I'm going to miss that and I hope all of y'all come to SRGMP and Chhote Ustaad section and continue the fun there! 😃

I also met some really nice folks in this section - Xobile, Bahaar, Saahil, Angel, Rths, Sushruta, the two Simis, and many, many more people. Of course its always great to see the people you already know again. :)

Thanks WA🤗. Nice set of posts:)

Agree about Shankar and Sreeram's performance. First time, I heard I was focused too much on Shankar but when I heard a couple of times I found Sreeram held his ground really well.

Well,
I regularly watch indian idol every season, (except for season 1 and 2). The singing isn't as bad as some people think it is. I love listening to Anuji's comments, though. That always keeps me entertained.

Ever since the time i woke up yesterday, i was waiting to watch Indian idol finale... i was like googling every half hour to see if the results were announced LOL

About the finale:
well I thought Kareena was just ok.. she annoyed me as usual after a while, with her saying"famly" in every sentence...i was like OK i get ur point ! 😆 .. nothing about her seems natural or genuine to me so i was really overjoyed when i realized that she wasn't staying for the whole thing.

Sreeram's marjani was just awesome! again, toughest song choice amongst the three excellently sung and adorably performed... his moves were sooo cute...rakesh danced well too! (i thought he draged the temps a bit cuz i could clearly make out every word of that song)

Bhoomi's solo performance was way better than the ones with alisha. Rakesh's sajda, i luved it

i though the RJ whoeva was so silly, she made it seem like swaroop won it and got ppl all excited for no reason.

And then came sreerams long awaited performance! and it rocked! they just set the stage ablaze and I was screaming at Shankar's praise for sreeram. I loved it when he said "i think i'm standing beside the next indian idol"

coming to the judges, Salim was the best as usual! Sunidhi looked wierd, especially her eyes, she seemed like she cried all night because she came to know rakesh wasn't winning 😆 ...Anu was not ove rthe top which was good to see. The way salim rooted for sreeram was just amazing, he also got teary eyed awwww...i hope to see some great work from this new trio: salim sulaiman sreeram 😃 ..from shankar and sreeram as well, after all the nice words, thats the least shankar can do.

I really loved watching all the finalists performing together again, made me emotional. I was very happy to see shivam, shahi, swaroop and naushad back especially...rakesh missed that performannce but i was glad to see sree in it.

Amitabh bachchan was just amazingly witty ... his poem for indian idol was wonderfully recited and then when he go tot the part where he said i pray that they be successful and let the best win, i was anticipating his fav to be sreeram and when he said sreeram i was like, r u seriously admiting it! l...but then bhoomi and rakesh's names followed quckly 😆 ...when he offered to help sreeram with the speach, that was the sweetest gesture.

Sreeram's expression was just hilarious... I think there were so many false calls before the result was announce that he might have expected the real thing to be one as well...When he said "i'm not knowing wot to say sir!"i with humility and disbelief.... that was truely adorable. loved the way salim and anu hugged him. sunidhi was still probably crying in some corner for rakesh 😆, but at that moment in time i couldn't care less about her...I almost in as much disbelief as sreeram was. I've always maintained that this season has been the best season for II and rightly so, it produced the best Indian Idol so far and who knows, perhaps of all times 😊 ...I've thoroughly enjoyed this season and miss watching sreeram perform but I'm waiting to hear him again...it wouldn't have mattered if Sreeram ldidn't win but i'm just soooooo happy that he did and i can't express in words,how proud I am of him

Nice analysis😊....Yes the Rj from radio mirchi had poor Swaroop excited for no reason..

@ amritha19: Yeah Sunidhis eyes were so weird...like she hadnt slept or something! 😆 And yeah poor Swaroop, Shivam hugged him so tight, they got excited for nothing....yeah Salim was so sweet and when Shankar spoke all those words, i really wanted him to give a song to Sreeram, maybe in the future 😳
omgg yess that hilarious expression of Sreeram 😆. Im watching it over and over again. And it was indeed cute when he said like: i dont know what to say 😛 INCREDIBLY PROUD to be his fan! 👏
