World's largest phenomenon that took millions of Indians by storm is BACK !!!
Indian Idol, all set to make you Chase your DREAMS & Change your LIVES forever !!!
When 'Idols', the hugely popular worldwide phenomenon, was brought to India last year as 'Indian Idol', Sony Entertainment Television promised the nation that it would forget everything else and it surely did. In a span of merely 8 months, 'Indian Idol' took millions of Indians to towering heights of sheer frenzy, propelling them to live their dreams and becoming 'water cooler conversation' across the nation. 'Indian Idol' experienced viewer engagement as never before, truly cutting across all boundaries of caste, creed, social status and geographies to witness people from every walk of life turn up in full strength, not only to participate and make their dreams come true but also religiously vote to choose their 'Indian Idol'. In keeping with its philosophy of offering innovative and distinct content, Sony Entertainment Television, is now all set to launch the second series of its groundbreaking phenomenon, 'Indian Idol'.
'Indian Idol' gave the country it's very first 'Idol'… Abhijeet Sawant. Hailing from a modest, middle class background, 'Indian Idol' catapulted this Mumbai boy to unprecedented heights of fame, fortune, stardom and adulation. Abhijeet's first solo music album, 'Aapka Abhijit Sawant' went on to top the music charts is currently the fastest selling album in the last 5 years! Abhijeet's rags to riches story and overnight stardom, not to mention the other finalists also sharing the limelight, is testimony to the fact that 'Indian Idol' can really make your dreams come true and change lives forever!
Last year the show experienced a collage of emotions, raising levels of viewer frenzy and excitement coupled with the contestants' tears and joys, heartbreak and jubilation, learning's and achievements. 'Indian Idol' showcased exceptional talent to the forefront and soon witnessed mass hysteria fuelled by the viewers' ardent support and voting frenzy to make their favourite contestants win. The viewers ultimately became a part of the contestant's very existence, moulding their destiny. This year too 'Indian Idol' will give the people of this nation the opportunity to chase their dreams and the power to make one talented aspirant's dream come true. In addition to a recording contract with Sony BMG, the 'Indian Idol' will be awarded a contract with Sony Entertainment Television worth Rupees One Crore, thus catapulting him/her to unparalleled stardom, fame and fortune.
And, how does one become an 'Indian Idol'? It's simple…
1. This September, young aspirants across India can register themselves by dialing 646 from their Airtel phone or register via their landlines. The 'Indian Idol' crew will travel to 13 cities including Jaipur, Ajmer, Jodhpur, Baroda, Ahmedabad, Indore, Bhopal, Chandigarh, Karnal, Mumbai, Delhi, Lucknow and Kolkata, inviting registrations and those eligible will receive registration numbers for the auditions.
2. In October 2005, auditions will be held in Mumbai, Delhi, Lucknow and Kolkata where the show producers will first shortlist contestants. These contestants will then be auditioned by the panel of judges who will undertake the challenging task of choosing 150 ' Indian Idol' aspirants from the thousands who may have registered.
3. In November 2005, the judges will further trim them down to 28 contestants. Hereon, the nation aids the process by voting for the 12 finalists. The entire nation will follow the journey of these 12 finalists and finally vote and choose their second 'Indian Idol'.
The winning team of Indian Idol's popular judges - Farah Khan, Sonu Nigam and Anu Malik, who made waves with their valuable insights, constructive criticism, mutual disagreements and funny anecdotes, will once again create magic on screen together.
