I only copied a part of the article called Ravinder Ravi, the self taught musician. I hv provided the link below if u r interested in reading the whole thing just follow the link.
But isn't he the one who was forever labeled 'offkey' by judges Anu Malik, Farah Khan and Sonu Nigam?
"I know I was and when I heard Abhijeet Sawant, Rahul Saxena, Rahul Vaidya and Amit Sana, I realized that they were far ahead of me as they are all trained in classical music," says the singer without any trace of envy and with complete honesty. Wattal of course has his state-of-the-art studio to take care of glitches, if any. "With pitch correctors and mid blowing technology that could improve any note, minor faults and shortcomings could be worked out. But I see in Ravinder the will to succeed as well as the malleability to mould him into a good singer."
The singer himself is "confident that this time around things would work for me." He is dismissive of several of his 'friends from the Indian Idol' days though they are good friends and do keep I touch regularly. "Rahul Vaidya sings a lot like Sonuji, Abhijeet Sawant is also not original, Rahul Saxena is a great singer but is inconsistent about other things - his personal habits act as a deterrant," he avers diplomatically. He is forthright when it comes to assessing Fame Gurukul winner Qazi Touqeer though. "He is plain lucky and not a singer," he declares.
