Why have dancers in Indian Idol?

Don't you guys find those dancers in the background (and many times in the foreground) crowding the singer extremely annoying. Imagine American Idol with dancers crowding the singers. The show would be laughed at. If II wants to be taken seriously, and not just a gimmick show they should let the singer/performer do it all alone. There is absolutely no need for the dancers. They take the focus away from the individual's performance. This is not a music video for crying out loud.

you are absolutely correct....these dancers sometimes overwhelm the performance of the contestants as well....

let the contestant perform and dance himself (if he wants to)....or they could have dancers in the last gala...but having dancers in every song is soooooo irritating

I'm not so sure. I have a feeling they are here to stay. the producer/director of the show needs to be replaced. They think they are making the show more glamorous, where the opposite is true.
