Look PRamod,
With this kind of format, you can' really rely on talent & Sur alone. LUCK, PUBLIC support plays a major factor.
It doesnt mean thatANUJ,PANNA, MEENAL, ANTARA, MONALI are any less talented. They all have something which is why they are in the top 12.
I really loved ANUJ's performance in piano round. I was sure that he would have made it then, but unfortunately he had to come in like that,
Look at AMEY, such a talented performer, he was the last one to get in in piano round. ALL of us thought he will sial thru after that, but he was in bottom 3 atleast 3 times. & finally he lost out in top 4.
This cometition is for the person who is popular enough to get more votes. Talent comes after the competition.
Wait and watch, AMEY, MEENAL, KARUNYA gonna make real big in music. THese 3 got lot of talent & they will really flurish.
Thats been said, i am sure ANUJ, SANDEEP, ANTARA & MEENAL will also make a mark for themselves.
In INDIAN IDOL 1 we all thought Ravindr RAVI got into top 5 only becos of sympathy wave. But look at him now, he got an album on his name, he is singing in 3 movies & he is a big crowd puller in all the shows & concerts he went out to.
This is music my friend. IT got somany requirements and doors, if you think one is lacking in one field, some other door will be open for him/her.
