Its finally over…we have the next Indian Idol, though I wonder if he is the "Indian" Idol in the true sense of the word!
Singing played second fiddle…it wasn't even the often hyped X factor that came into play….the new Buzz is the L- factor…the likeability factor…
If u want to appear for the auditions of II season 3 …here are a things which if u have can see u through right till the end…
1) Belong to a small town preferably somewhere in the Northern part of the country
2) Being a simpleton will help….go with a kurta and preferably parachute nariyal tel in your hair!...the transformation till the end would appear more dramatic then
3) You should be able to sing OK …just enough to make the Judges feel that u may have potential
4) Play safe and just imitate ur favourite singer in the first few rounds….preferably really botch up real bad in one of the rounds so that you can get the worse possible comments from the Judges…this evokes the S- factor among the audiences ( S for sympathy u know!!)
5) Cry when u get into the bottom 3…that can evoke the S factor even in the toughest of ur critics
6) Surprise everyone with a Super performance somewhere in the middle…and then u kinda have the Judges on ur side too…they can never go back to the harsh comments as u have proved urself
7) After that just play safe…work on ur smile….sing a bit..and just be very very likeable…..
8) Have Farah by ur side….somehow the Janta seems to agree with her!
And I have a new punch line for II 3….Indian Idol…where singing just doesn't matter!!!
