At the launch of the show, Asha Bhonsle took day trip to reply to just three questions
Why did you select to be a part of Indian Idol 6?
It is a large show, a well-liked one too. I USED TO BE offered it, so I took it up. It was so simple as that. I consider this my work.
What will you search for in a singer while judging the show?
Sur (pitch of the voice) can be my prime focus. Pitching have to be correct. Also the voice should be sweet. Rhythm may be required. The language wherein the individual is singing the song, with the right kind pronunciation, must be correct too. But sur is of maximum priority.
The tagline of the show this time is ‘Behind every idol there are lots of other idols’. Who's your idol?
My dad was my idol. I learned so much from him about sargam, raag and sur. I regret that I couldn’t learn much as he passed on to the great beyond very early in my life. Later in my career, I met many accomplished and talented music composers who taught me so much about honing my singing skills.
