How to participate at the Indian Idol TV Show

How to participate at the Indian Idol TV Show

Indian Idol is an interactive reality talent show. It is now being produced by Wizcraft International Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. Its first season was aired in 2004. The first winner of Indian idol season 1 was Abhijeet Sawant. Second seasons winner was Sandeep Acharya. Prashant Tamang won the third season. For the first time in Indian Idol’s history, there were two girls in top 3.  Sourabhee Debbarma won the title of the Indian Idol and became the first female contestant to do so. By doing so, she also won a contract of Rs. 1 crore with Sony Entertainment Television and a TATA Winger. She released an album Meherbaan as per a contract with Sony. The winner of Indian Idol 5 was Sreeramchandra Mynampati from Hyderabad.

Now Sony has returned with season 6 of Indian Idol. The auditions part began on 1st June 2012. Mini Mathur and Hussain Kuwajerwala who have previously hosted the show will once again be back to host Season 6 of Indian Idol. The judges for this season would be Anu Malik, Sunidhi Chauhan and Salim Merchant. Asha Bhosle will join the judging panel after the audition rounds. Anu Malik is judging Indian Idol since the very first season. Sunidhi Chauhan and Salim Merchant have judged the previous season also.

The first two episodes of auditions went quite well. This time Indian Idol’s presenters went to cities where they haven’t been before like Himachal Pradesh, Jaipur etc.  We got to see two teens (a 16 year old girl and a 17 year old boy) who sang really well and cleared the auditions round. We also saw some people who think that they sing well but they make fools out of themselves only. Looking forward to have great singers and good talent this season.
