Indian Idol 4 - Day 1 - 19th Sept 2008

Today is the starting day for Indian Idol 4 . As you all know Indian Idol is a reality show being aired on Sony Television which tries to find the next Singer cum Performer who will rock the Indian Public. The last 3 series failed miserably to find and CROWN the sensation who will drew the crowd but hopefully this time they will be lucky and a truly deserving candidate will win the Indial Idol tag and not some singer who wins by public favouritism.

At the starting we get to see Meiyang Chang and Deepali who were hot favourites in Last Indian Idol ie. Season 3. Seems like they are going to host the show this time.

There are 2 old judges and 2 new judges. They are Anu Malik and Javed Akhtar being the old ones and Sonali Bendre and Kailash Kher as new judges.

Judges for Indian Idol 4
1) Javed Akhtar
2) Anu Malik
3) Sonali Bendre
4) Kailash Kher




The 1st candidate to come for singing was absolute disaster. Somebody called Shahbaaz Kabir Khan who seems to be known as Kolkatta Shahrukh Khan came first and sang awfully and mimicking shahrukh and anu malik. The guy was fun to watch and he seems to be doing some business of T-shirts,jeans etc.

Few of the disastrous candidates were :-
1) Nandini Chakroboty
I think she was given a chance by judges as she was too nervous. Sonali objected to the special consideration given to her and I agree with sonali that there was no point in giving her extra chance.

2) Nishant Sherpa
He is into heavymetal and anu was impressed with him. Luckily no other judges was impressed with him and we avoided the last year debacle of having a rock star as Indian Idol 4.

3) Julius Kerketta
As soon as came he started excuses like he is having sore throat and he may not be able to sing higher pitches. And when he started I couldn't understand why he was making excuses. He doesn't even know how to sing.

4) Sreejitha Kar *
The judges were fed up with all the bad candidates coming up and Anu gives a big bhashan to candidates. Then comes sreejitha and she is the first candidate to get the coveted yellow ticket. The ticket to move to mumbai for further consideration. The entry ticket to Indian Idol 4.



5) Saurabh Das *
He was the 1st male to get the entry ticket.



6) Kiran Waiva *



7) Saurabh Ghosh
Don't remember about them but they were very bad singers.
8) Rajdeep Chatterjee *
Another guy to get the entry to Indian Idol 4.





There were many other candidates who got the entry but we aren't showed their names. We only get the glimpse of their performances.

A funny scene also happened which was aired on behind the scenes on Tata Sky. Hussain , famous TV serial actor appeared dressed like a mexican guy and started arguing with judges,especially anu and pretends to be some A J ken original name being Ajay but his friends call him AJ. The judges weren't aware that he is hussain and they try to find out his peculiar behaviour. Hussain could have really passed as a mexican tourist with all this peculian english accent. It was a fun to watch him.

Also judges were onto something and they teased each other like anything. Please go through the following video and you can understand how much I was laughing actually.




So this is the 1st day details about the Indian Idol 4 season and hopefully we will see some great drama, some great singers and good time-pass.
