Prashant:: biggest business for Sony - Page 3

To make things clear about Udit, like many Nepalese have migrated to India, many Indians have migrated to Nepal. Udit's parents were one of them. Udit was brought up in Nepal and had his first singing lessons in Nepal. He recorded his first song in Radio Nepal and continued to sing there before moving to Mumbai. It doesn't matter whether he is called a Nepalese or an Indian. but the point is Nepal and India share a common culture if not exactly the same language. Even so Hindi and Nepali are very similar. So there should be no misunderstanding about Prashant too. And he is a damn good singer, like Anu jee says. So vote for Prashant. Please.
Good day to you all.

So much fuss has been made about Prashant Tamang going through the Galas in Indian Idol. He is a good singer and the music director of Anu Malik's stature has recognized him before by saying that he is easily amongst the top 3. His singing has not been as good as he had shown us before, but he is still a better singer than some of the remaining contestants. I wouldn't say that with the current performance, he deserves to lift the title but he deserves to be in the top 8, which he is, very justifiably.

When Sanjaya Malakar got into the top 10, I was so happy as a Nepali for the Indian neighbours. Singingwise, he was as bad as anybody could be. But it was a matter of pride to see someone with a southasian decent breaking into the American hall of fame. The case with Prashant is even different. First he is a good singer. Second he is an Indian citizen. Third he serves for Indian police, keeping the Indian citizens secure. Thus the continous dislike of him by a section of Indian public and even the judges regarding him as someone outsider has made me surprised.

The rule of the game is voting. Not only votes push a contestant ahead, but gives Sony and the Indian Idol producers a hell lot of money. So when eligible voters keep Prashant in the contest, it is very unprofessional of the judgest to express cynicism on the public voting. No one wants to spend their hard earned money to the singer who they don't like. As simple as that.

I am not sure if the Indian Idol is about finding a playback singer or a singing entertainer. A singing entertainer is someone who can earn Sony the revenues through concerts and tours. An entertainer cannot be a playback singer. Prashant has in him the qualities to be a very good playback singer, but I doubt him as a crowd puller. If this is about a singer who sings for Bollywood, producing classical hits and selling cds in millions, Prashant can be quite a successful star. So the comparny has to set his preference and guide the judges accordingly.

As for who gains the biggest businesss, Prashant is undoubtedly the best prospect of business for Sony. There are too many Indian playback singers and popstars already. And there will be many more Indian Idols of Indian decent. If Prashant comes out the winner in this competition, the business is guaranteed for at least 30 million Nepalese all around the world. His music will undoubtedly be sold out to the Nepalese who don't have a successful singer in Bollywood apart from Udit Narayan, who has now become one of their own. I am sure with their love, Prashant can equal Udit's success. If others win, well what has Sandeep Acharya and Abhijeet Sawant done so far? They have disappeared under the shadows of countless Indian stars. I bet Prashant will be a bigger success story than the previous idols, at least guaranteeing a big market in the Nepalese community worldwide.

In conclusion, although Amit has been the best singer so far and one might fancy him more than others, blaming Prashant for others' failure is unfair to him. Blaming Chang is also uncalled for. If Indians see their country in the ranks of other great countries, they should love Prashant and Chang as much as they do to other contestants. Because they are their own citizen, even though their complexions may look a little different from others.

Good day to you all.

I thought our discussion in this forum is based solely on singing 😕.....when has somebody being a good citizen and serving in the police become the criteria to win II crown?????😕😕😕

Ok finally I found the topic. So I have a real agenda here, to the dismay of Prashant's nemeses. Excuse me pals 😃 I want him to win on all basis, whether its based on singing, or him serving in the police, or him being a gentleman, or him being so true and honest, or him being so real, or him being so down-to-earth, or him being so caring, or him being so manly, or him being the favourite of all families, or his smiles being so graceful or his head held so high or him gathering guts to propose raunaq in dream. In every ways, he seems to be marching towards the coveted title. The most genuine and the widest open smiles from a head held aloft already beckons the future- there is one winner and that is Prashant.
