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. |
