I have been an ardent silent follower of IF. I also am an avid viewer of both SaReGaMaPa and Indian Idol. We all get attached to the participant every year. This year I am watching the show with a little less attachment. However, I wait every Friday and Saturday to listen to Raja, Amanat, Aneek, Sumedha, Mussarat, and Poonam. Never liked Mauli's style of singing was furious with Zee team (mentors and mahagurus included) for the injustice mitted out to other singers to keep Mauli for vote bank's sake since the time Sareeka was eliminated.
Now coming back to my point, recently I have been thinking who from the current lot of good singers could possibly sustain in the industry. I only see Raja and Mussarat in that category. Raja has unique voice quality and there are not too many singers with that quality crowding the industry. Same with Mussarat.
Rest (be it Aneek, Amanat, Poonam or Sumedha) are good, but we have other singers in the industry with similar voice quality with very strong hold. Hence there might not be any room for them, except for one/two song here and there. My belief comes from the achievement of other excellent singers in past seasons like Nihira (my personal favorite), Hemachandra, Debojit, Karunya, Arijit, Amey Date, Minal Jain etc.
This is however just my openion. Want to hear what you guys think.
