Reality show discards on Indian Idol 5
The process of short listing the candidate on Indian Idol has been much criticized but Anu Malik claims that this year, the selected candidates have been chosen purely on the basis of their singing talent. So why do we see former reality show participants, who have been a part of similar singing reality shows but did not manage to come close to winning, among the 17 selected? In their defense, the judges say that they did not know about the history of these people. They add: shouldn’t they deserve another chance if their singing has improved? Of course.
