SRGMP Debojit is II Amit fan too!

Voice of India Debojit Saha has found a new idol in Amit Paul...

Guess what I am doing these days? Well, like most of you, I am busy sending SMSes for our new hero and music idol — Amit Paul of Shillong! As one among the last three in the musical reality show Indian Idol-III, Amit Paul is the new musical hope of the Northeast, one who will surpass, I am sure, this Debojit Saha.

Watching the hugely talented Amit, a resident of Shillong, competing for the Indian Idol crown reminds me of my days at the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa contest last year. I can relate to all that he is going through at the moment — the tension, the hard work, the adulation.

I see Amit as my alter ego. For a start, we are both from the Northeast, a region hardly known to the outside world. And yes, both of us are passionate about singing and have crossed all hurdles to reach our desired destinations.

I strongly feel that Amit should win the contest. I say this not because he is from the Northeast but because he is hugely talented. His singing is very mature and he has a voice of his own. Besides, he can sing in several languages, including Telugu, Khasi, English, Assamese, Hindi and Bengali.

With every performance, Amit has proved that he has all that a winner needs. Even in his last performance, when he sang Dil Kya Kare... from the seventies' hit Julie, Amit left everybody mesmerised, especially the girls.

Amit simply rocks and a "rock star" like him deserves nothing less than the crown.

And what's more, he is a product of Shillong — the musical capital of the Northeast. Amit took up music seriously right from his childhood and has always dreamt of making it big in Bollywood.

Now my fans must be thinking how come I know so much about Amit. I am yet to meet him personally. But like all his fans, I collect every piece of information on him.

Amit is an inspiration for all of us. He now needs our support. We need to whole-heartedly support him by voting for him. His win will put the Northeast on the map of Indian music industry once again.

Amit has put tremendous hard work to make it big at the contest. I still remember the time when he was struggling as a wild card entrant. But once he came back, his performance improved by leaps and bounds.

Now it is our turn to vote for Amit Paul. You did it for me. Now I hope you will do it for Amit.All the best Amit, go ahead and make our day.
