Latest Gala round news

The Indian Idol 2 stage has never looked so gorgeous and stunning!! The stage's set with red, white and pink flowers; red and pink ribbons floated everywhere on the stage and the best part was tha the top five looked stunning in their traditional attires as they performed for the wedding special episode.

Music director duo, Saleem-Suleimaan, who have worked on films like, Kaal and Neal 'n' Nikki will be the celebrity judges on the show this week.

"I had heard praises about the show and the contestants…and so I had really wanted to visit this stage and the performers who rock the stage to experience it myself…and such a platform is always very useful for composers like us who are forever on the look out for fresh talent!" commented Saleem.

"Being the only girl left in the race now, I quite fear a vote out…well known music directors like Saleem-Suleimaan give us the hope that our music career might just not end with this stage…this exposure helps us a lot in establishing our name in the industry even if we don't win the title!" commented the pretty Antara.

Karunya's performance as usual was praised and complimented the most but this time around he was compared to the others like never before!

"This time Karunya has raised the bar to such a level that we were expecting the same level or more from the others…which is why probably we were a little disappointed," said a highly impressed Anu Malik.

All five judges couldn't help but compare him constantly with the others and praise his performance and criticise the others.

Songs sung by the TOP 5:

Karunya – Koi Jaane koi na jaane

Antara – Mere haathon mein nau nau chudiyan hai

Sandeep – Mehendi Laga ke rakhna

Anuj – Saajan ji ghar aaye

Amey – Maahi Ve
