The contestants are in the age group of 24-28 yrs. Singing in such contest itself is an achievement, and should be given a ceritificate and a Gold Medal to the Winner. Let them do lot of "RIYAZ" for the next years...show their consistancy and then earn that name, fame and money. Normally they vanish after 6months. At whose cost all this extravagance.

We have spoiled CRICKET.......in similar way ad campaign contracts etc....

MUSIC is on the way......................................................... ........................

Dear Fellow Indians these were our feathers in the Crown😔

First of all they are not forcing anybody to listen to their songs or spend money on SMSs to vote for them. Secondly being younger doesn't mean that you should not be rich. We have many examples of teenage achievers, young entrepreneurs and CEOs who are millionaires. The IIM graduates are signed for huge contracts even before they step out of the campus.

So what is wrong if somebody earns by showcasing his creative talents be it music, dance, acting, painting or even sports. If a person can attract riches through his skill and hardwork then we should look towards him as an inspiration or a role model instead of doubting his ability. They are not accountable to anybody but themselves.

In a field like music industry it is the people, the fans who make or break a star and if he is found not good he is bound to fade away.

Last but not the least the winner has to pay a whopping 33.66% tax on his winnings and it is actually deductible at source. Please refer to this link

Yes u r absolutely right. I dont know what happed to Ujjiani and Aishwarya but what I heared about Debojit somewhere that Zee did not give him the flat. I dont know how far that is true.

The prize money for Indian Idol is one crore rupees.In both cases IMHO the winner doesnt get cash.He or she(rarely) is under two yeras contract with the channel.Stage shows are arranged,part of the income goes to the winner who sings.Maybe the stage income goes as a part of payment of prize money..Even runners-up get stage shows and get money.After two years they are on their own.Luck,Riyaz,talent will decide their future. Nothing wrong if the winners make hay while the sun shines.They have to make lifetime hay themselves.

i think what they r doing is enough to earn this amount..they work hard, they face sometimes extreme criticism..sometimes they have to face such humiliation by the Gurus and that too publicly....It musn't be easy to face camera when you know millions of people r going to watch you and you have to go back to your place after this..Lot of courage and of-course talent is required to do what they r doing..
