The Top 5 Finalists will be dressed in traditional outfits. The feel of the stage has been designed for a grand wedding. You will watch the Top 5 singing the electrifying song 'Sapnay Mein Milti Hai O Kudi Meri Sapnay Mein Milti Hai'. There is another exciting package arranged for you and that is the celebrity judge of the show. You have heard their music in Aitraaz, Kaal and most recently in Neal n Nikki. Yes, they are the coveted musician duo Saleem-Suleiman. Both are excited to watch the singers performing on Indian Idol stage. "I had heard praises about the show and the contestants. And so I had really wanted to visit this stage. And such a platform is always very useful for composers like us who are forever on the look out for fresh talent", says Saleem.
"Being the only girl left in the race now, I quite fear a vote out. Well-known Music Directors like Saleem-Suleimaan give us the hope that our music career might just not end with this stage. This exposure helps us a lot in establishing our name in the industry even if we don't win the title," Antara expressed her concern.
Once again Karunya won the judges' hearts. They praised the singer a lot. "This time Karunya had raised the bar to such a level that we were expecting the same level or more from the others, which is why probably we were a little disappointed," Anu Malik uttered.
The finalists sang these songs:
- Karunya - Koi Jaane koi na jaane Antara - Mere haathon mein nau nau chudiyan hai Sandeep - Mehendi Laga ke rakhna
- Anuj - Saajan ji ghar aaye 5. Amey - Maahi Ve
So sit back to enjoy the thrill and excitement of the show on Sony Entertainment Channel on Monday-Tuesday at 9.00 p.m.
