1. if i close my eyes and listen to him/her whther in audiotorium among a mass, or on my headpones privately, it makes me sing with him. Not because of choice of songs, but the way it is sung.
2. One who can give life to even worst composed songs..
3. Emotes with me. If i am in the mood to be happy, it can make me dance and jhoomm..If sad, it can bring tears to my eyes..
I know i m asking for too much, but then please think deep from your heart and truly think what is the reason for this competition - the decision is in our hands not the judges. we are not looking for perfect singer in terms of sur, tal and technicalities. we are looking at someone who can reach to us and touch our souls..which is what music is all about. For me, Amit Paul is the closest to achieving this goal since the very initial stages of this show even before he was eliminated. He has grown superbly with each song. He may or may not have performance in terms of facial expressions or dance etc, but i think it has hardly mattered. since his voice just lingers even after he has finished singing and u r left yearning for more..this is the beauty of the ideal indian idol for me.. hey freinds , please let me know what you think ? i would love to hear all your opinions....
