This is in regards to the auditions of II 3. Going by the results of the first and second year, these are the pre-requisites for becomming the Indian Idol. Please only aspire for it if you fulfil the following criteria.
1. You are an ok singer - average voice. (extra-ordinary voice is a definite no-no)
2. You must have a cute smile. (that is a compulsory thing)
3. You could be from anywhere in the country except south-india. (it has been voiced out so openly by the organizers, by the fans of the winners, and the family of the losers that regionalism does exist)
4. It would be a bonus if your initials are A.S. or S.A.
5. Must have enough wealth to conduct a day and night voting campaign for weeks after weeks in your region.
You are a sure-shot winner if you fulfill all these criteria.
exactly my opinion too...might be they need to start south-indian version of idols...i know these kids r getting the kind of exposure in such a less time but still i started feeling/understand why the tamil sis & bros behave the way they do though being a hyderabadi i always used to argue about hindi being our national lang...we r indians first, blah blah....but seeing these kids going thru so much regionalism inspite of talent feels very very bad....😉... i wish i will never watch II3 , get involved so much and then get a heart attack end of it....ok let me put it this way, if there is a South-indian esp hyderabadi with lots of talent , no way i will watch II3, the only solace i have end of all these is that Karu is not bound to the sony's stupid contracts but hopefully like anu malik said go long way on path of fame and success...same goes to Hemu....😆
