It's funny to see how Indian Idol judges go crazy over singers like Naushad and Shivam(even though i love shivam), I wonder what they'll do if singers like Ali Abbas and Akber Ali auditioned for Indian Idol :P

Ali Abbas : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-dPQyaoNhY&feature=related

These guys are above the word 'reality show', they're in their own league.

FANTASTIC performances!! especially loved Ali Abbas' "mast kalandar" and "maula mere lele meri jaan" and Akbar Ali's "mera piya ghar aaya" and "aik kher manga"

But thats the thing, most of the performances you showed are sufi/folk songs..just because indian idol people barely touched upon this type of music doesn't mean they can't do it if the time came😉

p.s. did you remember these songs after I showed rajiv chamba's performance in the same show in my other topic😛

LOL yup, that definitely brought back memories of Lux Junoon :P.......and I'm sorry but i just can't see any of the singers in Indian Idol singing something like that, with maybe the exception of Swaroop and Shashi. I know versatility is an important thing, but when someone sings like that, how can you even talk about versatility lol

Seems "Ali Abbas" is not Indian, so technically he cannot be an Indian idol. :D

Oh of course I completely get what you're saying! though shivam is pretty versatile..clasically trained..i wouldn't underestimate him either..but honestly those two were just mindblowing

especially the part at 1:25 to 1:35 was awesome..is that called sargam? i'm sorry i don't know the technical wording 😳

I wanna give the idol contestants the benefit of the doubt though..simply cause we just haven't seen them do those songs😊

I actually never watched lux junoon so I dont know much about those 2 singers..were they from other shows??
