Indian Idol 2 - 4th Gala Round

Orite, it's been a while since I've been here.  Other than the fact that my headache at work (the quotation issue) is not resolved, there's really nothing much happening that I'd wish to or I can update on here.


If there's anything I enjoy, it's seeing my choice Indian Idol be the winner (now that I've boycotted Saregamapa since I've proven myself right that this Challenge 2005 show is rigged)!!


So yesterday was the 4th Gala Round with 6 boys & 3 girls left & the theme was OLDIES.  Celebrity guest judges were Priyanka (I like) & Kareena (Yucks! Bitch! Hehe...)  What'll happen tomorrow is 3 will go bottom 3 and 1 will be eliminated.


My assessment: Of the 3 girls, my Antara was good yesterday!! She sang 1 of my fave songs, Tere BINA Jiya Jaye Na from Ghar) .. any songs with the word Bina is my fave song.  For obvious reasons (my name duh!!).  My Meenal was good, chose a difficult song, but her voice a bit shaky, so she's quite in trouble.  Monali who is very cute (mannerism) was also gd, but a bit of nervousness in the voice.  So Antara is sure shot la!


Out of the 6 boys, the best was saved till the last!! Amey Date.  He chose a very old song, I don't like...but he was the best SINGER!! Performance wise, Panna was good (Shammi Kapoor's Aaja Aaja from Teesri Manzil), but his voice a bit spoilt at time.  Can hear his breath also coz he was like jumping jack!  Ravi Tripathi impressed me wif his performance & not a bad voice quality, but not my fave still.  Sandeep (the Udit Narayan copycat), I wish he's go out next!!  Karunya (the Abhishek look-alike) sang a very old song, I don't like ... his voice was like pro! But not much performance, so he may be in trouble!  Anuj, brought back by judges to replace chicken-pox stricken Jolly Das, for 1st time in Gala Round, his singing was good, no problem, but singing a fast song, and no peppy dance is like a misfit!! So I shld be scared for him, altho I'd love to see more of him to see if he can be the next Idol or not.


Let's see tomorrow...the results.  I shall not be surprised at all, since it's the audience who's choosing!! So I shld be prepared that the gd ones will go!!!


UPDATE (07/02/06, 11.58pm):


Ok, I'm not surprised.  The horrible Sandeep & Panna very much sitting on the hot seats.  Karunya, Meenal & Monali in Bottom 3!! Uh-oh.  It's gonna be bye-bye to the gd singers of the lot, but maybe yesterday juz wasn't the best day of their lives, so their singing/performance a bit (I repeat, A BIT!) down.  And the one who's going is....*drum rolls*....quick la Aman (host), u & ur "back after a short break"!!!....*drum rolls*....Monali! Huh!? But her performance/singing was btr than Meenal.  But oh well, Meenal is my choice ... so I shall rejoice!! Hehehe...will miss Monali (she's Indian Idol 1 - Abhijeet Sawant's - choice to be Indian Idol 2!!)...


PS: Aiyoh...of all the songs Monali had to choose as her farewell song is Chalte Chalte (old) ... which is so sad ...so sad, I teared!

Thanks so much for the update gal. I missed the last 2 shows dear. I am so glad my AMEY DATE was not in the bottom 3. I really wish he will become the Indial Idol this year. Btw Antara seem so fake crying...maybe tears of happiness that she will be the only gal among the guys competing??? I wonder who is the next to go?
