princess - so Torsha could become like a Dido. Someone who coos through all the songs and just has a great voice, but basically can't sing :)

C'mon Aspi, have you not been enchanted by Torsha'...

C'mon Aspi, have you not been enchanted by Torsha's voice? She did screw up some preformances, but there's no denying the magic in her voice. she just doesn't have that charisma and is a bit of an awkward girl.

I agree with you about Kapil. Even when he gives good performances, the judges still look down on him.

Sourabhee is a good singer and a great performer. Rajdeep is a great singer and a decent performer.

I say the competition is between SOURABHE & TORSHA. INDIAN IDOL IS GONNA BE A GIRL!!!!

Omg I do not follow this show (seriously, it's teh suck) but I clicked on your Torsha link to see the 'Laila' song. YIKES!!!!!!!!!! I SWEAR my cat is more melodious when she gets vaccinated by the vet! How do people like this Torsha even get to compete??

*shakes head at the absolute lack of talent*

Aspi, great write up. I agree with your thesis regarding Rajdeep's elimination. I believe Bhavya was a victim of the teacher's pet syndrome (TPS) too. Her blatant sucking up to the judges didn't help either. All this should have been obvious to her when she would consistently find herself in the bottom 2 or 3. I am surprised the judges don't seem to realize the effect of their favortism on their, ahem, favorite contestents.

Meg, you are funny (esp. regarding Kher; perhaps he is seeking a career in opera as a castrati?).

Meg, enjoyed that!

AFan, I saw some youtube vids of Sonam auditioning in II and couldn't quite figure that out. Thanks for the update. I will work on expanding my sphere beyond Bollywood - but I just don't have the useless knowledge to back it up. So it'll be hard.

max, yes, but if II can deliver breakout stars in some area or the other even if they are not winners - they will end up as an influential show. In that regard they seem to be doing very well.

Mind Rush, of course I remember. But this time words failed me. Heart. Heart.

2009-02-20T14:50:00.000-06:00

Wot?
Drift saab, a worthy write up but where is the mention of your crush Bipasha Madam???

Great comic art, BTW.

Mind Rush predicts...Next season we will see Rajdeep and Chang be the hosts to a rockin' Indian Idol.

@meg: whoa! that was something....

@aspi: Idol has gone to dogs, for the third time in a row they are going to dish out a thanda singer. Sandeep Acharya, Prashant Tamang and now Sourabhee is my guess.

Chalo atleast they are going to get a female winner. Have to compete with SRGMP you see...

2009-02-20T06:18:00.000-06:00

I don't really follow II, but isn't that the same logic to the AI too. Atleast in II you cannot be called a Slumdog on the show, in AI Anoop Desia was called dog on the show, which however well but is still insulting.

2009-02-20T03:31:00.000-06:00

Rajdeep was so average, oh please the judges deserved to be slapped with a wet trout for overhyping average karoake singers.. Bhavya was another overhyped twit!

I hate sonali, she couldn't even do well in her chosen field, she had no decent acting career to speak of herself, everytime she opened her annoying mouth i felt like throwing the TV out the window.. what does she know anyway? she just summarized what everyone else said and added her trademark biased views and annoyed the beejeezus out of everyone.. DIAF!

what is up with kailash's Hindi?? WTF??? go get some testosterone before appearing on TV next

Javed A is biased and full of himself.. his wife was also a judge on some other show (i forgot which) and she was biased and annoying just the same... i hate pseudo intelligent pretentious people.. loudmouth anu malik is more tolorable..

everytime they announced rimo or kapil or other step children of the show safe, Sonali and javed would make this annoying slappable faces.. eww

i think celebs shouldn't agree to be judges on reality shows, it shows their true self..

i want Kapil to win, the judges are so harsh on him, he isn't even that much worse than their angelic Rajdeep or Bhavya or other overhyped singers..

2009-02-20T00:29:00.000-06:00

Great writeup.
BTW just saw Delhi 6 and lo and behold who else is in it - our Anu Malik and JA.
Sonam is a wanabe II contestant.
Great Movie minus masala. Rakesh Mehra did it again and RDB was not a fluke.
It may not do well in India but overall a great movie.
Aspi Please expand your spehere of influence beyond bollywood. Would love to read about interview of Kate Winslet.

Sonam is adorable.

Good Luck
