"Instead of thinking about winning, the participants should focus on giving their best performance. If they have the talent, success will follow," Abhijeet Sawant sends out a mantra for the many wannabe singers vying to be like him. Sawant was in Kolkata on Saturday to take part in a concert sponsored by The Indian Express — a show that had his Kolkata fans descending in hordes at the auditorium and hounding the singer till the green room. Shows like Indian Idol have become the lifeline for many an aspiring singer, he says. "There is a lot of pressure on participants, which often stop them from giving their best performance. But I think participants should focus on singing rather than on makeover if they want to win," says the boy, who became the national heartthrob after winning Indian Idol. "Good voice is not the only requisite to make it to the top. To reach the top you have to put in a lot of hard work." |
