Sonu Nigam displeased with Indian Idol!!

Sonu Nigam has been the judge of Indian Idol Part 1 and he sits again on the judge's chair for Indian Idol Part 2. This talent show, which has been running smoothly till now, recently faced the rage of the talented singer. While the shooting of an episode was on, Sonu Nigam got miffed over the choice of songs that Sony had asked the contestants to sing. Neha Kakkar with 'Zubi zubi zubi' and Antara Mitra with 'Tu rutha' were posing with the song when Sonu just lost his cool. The singers got scarred and also burst into tears.

On the whole take of things Sonu Nigam says, "I have been unhappy over the selection of songs for some time now, but this time around it was particularly bad. Looks, make-up and the other factors can be worked on, but the ultimate criterion in a music contest is the voice. There are millions of good-looking girls and boys, but there are just a handful of people who can sing well. What is the difference between a common singer and an Indian Idol then? I definitely agree that an Indian Idol should be selected in totality. But the music aspect needs to be given attention too. It simply cannot take a backseat. We have to give these aspiring singers challenging songs to test their talents. I understand that the channel has a certain format to follow. But I guess a lot of undue attention is being given to makeovers. I have also requested the channel that the contestants be given more rest and make less public appearances."

Anupama Mandloi, Sr. Vice President Sony TV says that the songs are not forced on any singers and they can change the song if they don't like it and opt for another choice. The music director handles the aspect of training and as it is a seasonal show the talent has to be groomed as per the format.

If it is posted then i am sorry for that guys

thanks...already posted many many times
thanks newayz

Sonu Nigam is right. Some contestants are getting stupid songs.

Sonu ji is absolutely right, but can people understand that? no, they just vote for dance number songs.

Sony TV should divided the galas into different sections. like one day all the contestant hv to sing sad song, one day for dance mix, one day for romantic melodious, then the judgement will b right. and we can get a VERSATILE singer.

if Sony TV doesn't listen to a Singer like sonu and never see any msg in forums then why we r msging for ???

like this we lost many of real talented singer like Dilprit, Renuka, Anuj, Jyostna.

Ravi , Sandeep, Panna (just a good dancer,not atall a good singer), Neha, Jolly never deserve the place.

after all this is a Singing competition, not a dance platform.

PLEASE do justice and force the contestants to choose difficult and varipus types of songs.
