Indian Idol II: About the format of Indian Idol: Is It Right at All
A lot of questions about the format of the Indian Idol:

1) Should the Judges be given more rights? No.

Don't you think they have much rights already, from thousands of contestents, they have selected 53 by which process, we do not know. I do not think that many of the contestents were satisfied. You relally haven't seen many singer who were really good singers, but did not got the chance to be in.

Nothing unjustice is being done with anyone, the contestents are already much famous. I strongly support the format either Sandeep survived or not but the format is right and no more power the Judges should got.

2) Should a single person could vote more than once? Yes should be continued.

Who is asking that question? Do you know, this will ultimately harm everyone, infact it will make the number of votes to be dropped up to 0.01% means they will e counted in thousands. If you are gettting entertrained by them then let them earn by your votes.

3) Should the Judges be changed? No.

No, I do not think so. I have already commented on the format to have one singer, one music director and one coreographer in the pannel. No question at all on the format, even by me.

4) Should the program need to say something about the contestents like the region they belong, like what the background they have? Yes! it should be continued.

More or less, I am satisfied. If you do not provide the same, even then the people will try to find that and will succeed. So, why to hide that. If someone have appeal, then he/ she will get votes from all over India, just in same way as Kazi aukeer does. If regionalism take over the talent, then this means that the talent is weak, the X-Factor is weak, the performances are not stunning, the contestents are not rocking the youth, the viewer from all over India. Do not worry, when the talent will be on the top, it will take over the regionalism.

Only queston with the format is not showing the number of votes for everyone. I understand that Sony is hiding them because they are getting only a few percent of votes in comparison to SRGMP, but hiding that will raise the questions again and again as happened in case of Amay Date. Showing the number of votes will raise the total number of votes in every episode and it will be profitable for Sony itself.

Public votes Sandeep to become Indian Idol 2
MIL/Agencies, Apr 23, 2006.

Mumbai, Apr. 23 - Sony Television did not disclose the margin by which Sandeep beat NC Karunya. But the result was a good news for Sandeep's fans. However, Karunya was not disappointed. He said, "I am not shattered even though the result has come to me as a shock."

Co-host to Mathur, Aman Varma said that Karunya could have won the contest since he is a better singer in his opinion. "Since the Hindi channels are not popular in South where Karunya could fetch their votes, so the result is unexpected."

Karunya's mother was broken, she said, "There is a lot of multiple voting which takes place. This is one of the reasons that my son could not succeed. She said, "The people are intelligent enough, they know that Karunya is definitely a better singer and he deserved to be an Indian Idol even though he lost it."

Sandeep argued, "Personally I don't believe in regional voting. The whole nation was attached to this program and cast their voting." His mother wept in joy and her voice was choked. She said, "Main jaanti thi mere bete ka smile sab ka dil jeet lega. Aur wohi hua."

Judge Farah Khan said, " Sandeep has come through a long way. I still remember the first day of the competition. He walked in with a long kurta and lots of oil in his hair."

As per Vickey Lalwani from Midday, Sonu Nigam said, "But with in that awkward appearance, ek sone jaisi awaaz thi." And Anu Malik opined, "Sandeep took the harsh comments constructively and worked on all his grey areas. I think Karunya had this notion that he's already there."

'Indian Idol': The untold story

By Rashmi Bansal

Thursday, 16 March , 2006, 12:01

Expect the unexpected seems to be the mantra on reality shows. Ameya Date, one of the frontrunners on Indian Idol 2, has been voted out this week. Although his 'fans' are sorely disappointed, it couldn't have happened at a better time for the show. | Am not disappointed: Read Amey Date's chat transcript | View pictures | Indian Idol 2 has its loyalists but has not quite managed to catch the wider public imagination. A little dramebaazi and controversy at this stage - like judges walking out - is sure to boost viewership for the remaining weeks! | What the fans say! | Why we vote: Idol enthusiasts say they were looking forward to a final showdown between Ameya and N C Karunya. That Anuj is the one who should have been shown the door. But the show's voting process is not designed to eliminate the 'worst' singer. Instead, viewers are asked to send in votes for their favourite singer - like in a popularity contest. | Contestant in focus: Watch Karunya's videos | You might say it's one and the same thing - that the person with the least number of votes is eliminated and that's fair. But think about it more closely and you'll see that the 'elimination' approach may well produce a very different result. The 'popularity' method often attracts people to vote for all the wrong reasons. As in the case of 'Sa re ga ma pa', it could be a case of regional/ home state voting. Or just a case of people getting obsessed with a particular personality whom they will support regardless of the quality of his/ her singing - as happened with Qazi on Fame Gurukul. And it's not a problem peculiar to India alone. Commenting on the voting pattern on American Idol on MSNBC, Linda Holmes writes,"People don't really care about the performances week to week. They treat "Idol" like a horse race. Pick your horse, bet on your horse, cheer for your horse. And, in some cases, carry your horse across the finish line. Above all, tolerate no suggestion that your horse has shortcomings. He acted like a jerk? He's misunderstood! He sang badly? He has a cold! He has irritating, cloying, obnoxious mannerisms? That's what you love about him! No one understands him! Everyone is jealous of him!" Sigh! Sounds familiar, doesn't it? | View exclusive Indian Idol videos | She goes on to observe that people love geeks, underdogs, losers. And they love everyone who is picked on by Simon Cowell. Well, we saw that kind of thing happen here as well with Ravinder Ravi - the painter from Ludhiana - getting votes week after week in Indian Idol 1, despite his atrocious singing. Conversely the people who are perceived as 'smart' and 'good singers' often don't get votes because: a) The average not-so-smart and talented bloke who comprises the mass of voters does not identify with that person
b) The rest think woh to itna accha hai, usey meri vote ki zaroorat nahin. With the result that a deserving singer loses out! Listen, don't look!: One problem, however, that seems to be peculiar to India is a general lack of sms support for female contestants. I'm not saying women should be promoted if they don't deserve to be, just that there is something strange going on here. | Female contestants who made it to Final 12 | Best of the rest | Indian Idol host Mini Mathur https://indianidol.sifymax.com/anchors/ hit the nail on the head when she wrote in the Indian Express, "While a male contestant is judged on his vocal talent and the 'X' factor, for a girl, the audience will also note whether she's wearing too much or too little, got attitude, if her hair is too straight, or whether her eyebrows are plucked." The girls certainly think appearance can make or break their chances. In the previous Idol season, when Prajakta and Aditi wore Western outfits they emerged at the bottom of the pile. Apparently from then on, they stuck to Indian clothes.... In fact, after Idol contestant Meenal's performance Farah Khan observed: "Because she's good looking and sang a song that's unusual and sexy, she probably won't make it." And she was right! At the semi-final contestant stage, Idol 2 turned into an all-male contest. Similarly, anyone who heard Himani sing 'Jiya dhadak dhadak' on Sa re ga ma pa would agree she deserved to be in the finals - if not the ultimate winner. But, she did not get the required sms support. She was talented, confident and beautiful - all of which probably went against her. A relatively frumpy small town girl with less 'talent' would have stood a better chance. Like Fame Gurukul's Rooprekha. Interestingly, 3 out of the 4 American Idols chosen so far have been female - Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia Barrino and the latest winner, Carrie Underwood. Carrie, in fact, scored an upset victory over Bo Bice by an extremely slim margin - just 134 votes. While the guy or girl factor may not be that important to Americans, they too are influenced by 'other' criteria. The fact that Bo Bice has a drug-related arrest to his name is thought to have tipped the scales in favour of Carrie. Coz at least 134 Americans do prefer their idols 'squeaky clean' - quite apart from how well they may sing or perform. | View all Indian Idol videos | Win-win for the channel: Whoever wins or loses, 'reality shows' are essentially rigged to maximize benefits for the channel. The smses sent in for the finals of 'Sa re ga ma' raked in Rs 30-35 crores, shared between Zee TV and its cellphone partners. So inducing people to vote more is the real objective. An 'eliminate the worst singer' voting method will never attract the same fervour as the current 'support the contestant you love' proposition. As they say, all's fair in love, war and SMS voting.
