Sandip is Indian Idol2!


Sandip Acharya has struck gold! He now has the unique distinction of being the second Indian Idol, following in Abhijeet Sawant's footsteps.


Sandeep Acharya: Indian Idol2

True to the tradition of reality shows, Indian Idol 2 has sprung a surprise. There was no doubt in the minds of the judges and Idol watchers like us that Karunya was the better singer of the two, but popular voting has always been contrary to expert perception. For a couple of weeks there were talks in the media that Sandeep will come out victorious.

This in no way means that Sandeep doesn't deserve to be the Idol. He's humble, down to earth and has no attitude - he's the perfect Indian aspirational youth. The 21 year old from Bikaner has a smile that can floor his worst critics. Karunya, on the other hand is very media savy, extremely confident and he's a great looker. All these together makes a comeplete package, but unfortunately, the viewers thought otherwise!

But the guy is extremely talented. But voting patterns have indicated that viewers always side the underdog! Qazi is a superb example of this trend. Even Ruprekha, compared to Arpita was more subdued and media shy, ditto for Abhijeet!


Sandeep shares a special moment with Abjijeet Sawant!

And there was always that feeling that because Sandeep is from Bikaner, he was bound to receive tremendous support from the North, whereas Karunya was never able to pull support from the South.

Even in their final performance, while both performed extremely well, there was this edge that Karunya had, purely on the basis of performance and singing abilities. Sandeep still was holding something back!

Before the day is over on 22 April, Sandeep's career would have got a headstart, but the one thing that remains to be seen is if he can make a mark in the cut throat music industry...Abhijeet Sawant is still not singing his own numbers, and Qazi and Ruprekha's album came and went...without anything as a whimper! Here's hoping that the new Indian Idol does more than just perform at stage shows and cut a mandatory music album!

dont u think its better karu didnt win? now he is in now way under sony contract and is free to do his own thing.. i mean he can sign up to sing with anyone he wants and as we all know the real acceptance in India lies in playback singing..not albums..Also lets not Forget American Idol Runners up Clay Aiken and Bo Bice have done far better than their respective winners.

you do have a point..but i think even karu is under contract..amey in an interview said that he is under the sony contract...so when amey, who was the third tunner up, is bounded by contract, dont you think karu, who is the first runner up, would be in a contract???...i think even people like rahul vaidya, prajaktha, amit sana etc of II-1 were in a contract..SONY makes these peopel sing in all their serials..lile rahul vaidya, prajaktha and amit sana have performed for serials liek kaisa yeh pyar hai, yeh meri life hai and jassi jaissi koi nahin...so perhaps SONY will make karu sing in its serials like KYPH, ELAS, and the two new ones which are going to begin tomorrow...sheesh, SONY wastes these people😭..and yes, i do concur with you on the point that playback singing is what's recognized and appreciated....even sonu nigam's albums dont sell like hot cake...this is an era when nasal crooning is the one in popular demand....even shaan's albums havent sold out....so i'm very doubtful concerning the success of sandeep's album...anyways, best of luck to sandeep👍🏼..

Thanks for posting.

I am re-watching the perofrmances - I just loved karunya's confident, emotional filled, extremely modulated voice ! But I can't say the same for Sandeep. I guess I'll never know if people voted for Sandeep out of pride, sympathy or anything else. But he's been shouldered with immense expectations of this "Indian Idol" title and he'll need all the wishes to carry these expectations out. My best wishes to him.
