RESULT GALA 3




Neha Kakkar out of Indian Idol

This week's elimination saw Delhibased Neha Kakkar out of the Indian Idol race. The judges' favourite and the youngest and the very talented girl broken down on being voted out. Commenting on her ouster, Anu Malik said, "I don't know what is it that the viewers are voting for? Looks like they have decided to go against the judges. I am very sad for Neha Kakkar. I know for a fact that she is a brilliant singer..."

Neha was unable to participate in the music video of the Indian Idols due to chicken pox. She had even missed out on some singing and grooming lessons. However inspite of all that she had bounced back and had floored everyone with her brilliant performances! She was the rockstar of the group and so her elimination came as a shock to everyone. The only Delhi contestant is now out. A much deserving finalist is out of this race due to the lack of votes.

During the shooting of an episode, which will be aired today, Sonu Nigam lost his cool because he didn't approve of the songs that the contestants had been asked to sing. On the receiving end were Neha Kakkar who burst into tears and Antara Mitra. The songs in question were Neha's Zubi zubi zubi… from Dance Dance and Antara's Tu rutha to… from Jawani.

Ok! I am officially pissed off! I don’t get what the Indian audience hears! I am sorry but I don’t think Indians who watch and vote for Indian Idol can be called sound judges! In fact I would love to know what in God’s name do they think before voting! I mean how can the best singers go to bottom three, while the worst pack survives?

I was going to report on Indian Idol Performance Night, but then I thought that not many might care to read who sang what! Besides I don’t really know all the songs to make a sound judgement! However, I do know a good rendition when I hear one!

I have decided to launch two ‘Save the Contestant’ drives! I think the net friendly Indians can read this and go in an overdrive to save two great contestants! They deserve to be on top! Honestly!

I will take you to performance night for a quick summary!

The show started with Sandeep Acharya! He sang an overheard song and frankly I think he is an imitator and his voice reminds me of Udit Narayan, one of the playback singers of Hindi movies! Obviously Sandeep chose an Udit Narayan song! I was so under-whelmed that I pressed the mute button after listening to first stanza! Obviously I did not miss much because the judges also did not think much about his performance and on result night he was coined to be a part of Bottom Three contestants by the judges! He survived bottom three though!

After Sandeep, Neha Kakkar took the stage and she sang this peppy number which was unfortunate because it was nothing new and I think most know that she could handle such songs without any problems and as one of the judges Sonu Nigam pointed out she could do much better! Neha has a fantastic voice! She has the voice that would shine in traditional Indian folk genre! Obviously the performance was very simple and I knew that Neha might land in Bottom Three and I was right!

Amey Date is a favourite with most of the net surfing folks! Amey has a fantastic voice and his slow rendition of a ballad was fantastic! My gal went into an overdrive voting for him because he lands in danger zone almost always and I still have not figured out why! I mean he looks good so his looks can’t be the problem! He sounds great so his voice can’t be the problem either! So what is wrong with Indian voters? Amey landed in bottom three and the popular vote was Indians should not vote! Sorry! I am launching a Save Amey Drive and I want people to participate because Amey is a great singer and he is Top Two material!!!

Meenal Jain – I love this gal! Seriously! She has this amazing voice! Her voice shines in songs that need belting out and belting out in tune is a feat! I personally loved her performance of Lambi Judaai, a song made immortal by Pakistani folk diva Reshma! Meenal’s performance was the best in my opinion and frankly when she landed in bottom three I was not just pissed off – I was like I don’t want to see this show! Seriously if less than perfect is Indian Idol Mantra, what’s the point of having such a show? I am launching Save Meenal Drive! Please don’t fail her! She has a bright future!

Ravi Tripathi! You know something – this guy was the one to leave! It was a horrid performance! I mean please he sang one of my favourite songs and I was like Jesus what is he doing? I am sorry the guy is not that great and he needs a lot of practice to remain in this game! I was not impressed with him and I felt rather distraught when he did not even make it to bottom three! Hello! He deserved to go!!! Don’t give sympathy votes! This is a show about finding a true talent and when compared Ravi just is mediocre and that’s the fact! Sorry, I don’t think sympathy should play any part in such shows!

Antara Mitra – Ok, she is a darling of the audiences! I like her as well and I frankly coined her as the idol! However! Her last two performances were nothing to report home about! So she needs to get back on track and sing what she believes otherwise I think she will not be the right choice! Sorry Antara game is on…

Panna Gill – He is a good entertainer and I know why he survives! The teen gals have a crush on him apparently! As long as he can sing in tune I have no qualms! He was not a bottom three material so I am fine with the fact that he survived!

Monali Thakur – Like Antara, this sweet gal is a crowd favourite and after having some voice trouble last week, she came back with a bang and she was wearing a saree and looking darn cute and sweet! Loved her performance! Loved her look and glad that she remained safe but then she always is!

Saving the best for last! NC Karunya! Karunya is a South-Indian bloke who sings brilliantly in Punjabi! His rendition of the popular song from Mira Nair’s Monsoon Wedding – a great film might I add was just awesome! Yes I agree with him that his performance was the best! Way to go! After landing in bottom three in the last gala, this guy came back and conquered them all!

So the result shows nights are always disturbing and as I already mentioned Amey, Meenal and Neha landed in bottom three! Neha was expected and the other two were on wrong list! Thankfully the blow was not as severe because Meenal was sent back first and Amey stated that since Neha was like a younger sister, he would prefer to leave the competition than see Neha go!

However, Amey survived as you all obviously figured it out! But Amey was crying with passion when he was told that Neha is out and he survived! Amey, I love your passion and more so your mom, she is darn sweet lady and frankly my gal and I always are tenser about her than you, if that makes any sense whatsoever!

Neha sweetheart! You are just 17 and the future for you is darn bright! The plus is your elder sister also was a product of Reality Television Contest and she was NOT selected and now she has a fantastic career – so I am very certain that you like your sister Sonu Kakkar would be heard by Indians soon! I wish you all the best!

The greatest highlight of result night was the inclusion of Anuj Sharma who replaced Jolly Das who is still down with Chicken Pox! Sorry Jolly!

Now the great thing about Anuj is he is cute, he sings very well and he is taken, which makes him even hotter! Ok, so that’s my gal’s take but I sincerely like the guy, so I was glad to see him back, although I think Farah Khan was kind of mean when she delivered the news! But as long as he is selected, I will not hold that against Farah!
