In American Idol, this is what has happened since Season One with RJ Helton, Trenyce, George Huff, Scott Savol and my personal favorite out of all Idol contestants - Paris Bennett.
As for Indian Idol, I'm not too sure in which spot Ravinder performed, but I am sure that Antara was second in performing on Top 5 Night, right after Karunya - and she was gone the next day!
Is there more to this than meets the eye? Or is it just overhyped??
