"Roses don’t always grow within the courtyard of kings, they may be able to also grow within the backyard of beggars,” is music composer Anu Malik’s poetic line to explain the music reality show Indian Idol on Sony. The ever-changing show’s constant factor (Malik have been a judge at the show for the reason that very beginning), he looks forward to a brand new season again.
Not bothered by audience fatigue or TRPs, Malik says, “People has been asking me repeatedly in regards to the next season. That is the only show that folks go along with music completely. Other shows has been aping Indian Idol.”
Malik says he returns to Indian Idol every season to get an opportunity to find amazing talent. “In the last six years, we've got visited not only the metros, however the interiors of the rustic on the lookout for talent. I'VE seen people from every strata of society seeking to prove their talent. And that i value people just for their talent,” he says.
This season, legendary singer Asha Bhosle is an addition to the show because the fourth judge. How will this help the show? Malik says, “That is the channel’s call and that i didn’t even ask them. They may be able to have 10 judges in the event that they want. I'M inquisitive about myself as people like to watch me at the show.”
Even so, Malik says, “She will bring along her immense experience. Her brain may be very sharp even on the age of 80. You can’t do away with her body of labor from her, and if you want to bring an edge to the show. Ashaji will enter the show in the course of the gala round, but Sunidhi (Chauhan), Salim (Merchant) and i've undergone the harsh means of auditioning people.”
Sony aired another singing based reality show, X Factor last year rather than Indian Idol. How does he compare the 2 formats? “I wouldn’t have the ability to compare X Factor and Indian Idol as I wasn’t a judge at the former,” says Malik. “But there'll never be another show like Indian Idol as Indians connect to the struggle, pain and victory of a standard person on a show that permits them to select the winner.”
