You know why Indian Idol is way cooler than American Idol?
My most favourite Indian Idol quotes this season:
Anu Malik to what's her face: "Your personality is very depressing."
Anu Malik to what's her face [after makeover]: "Your personality is very impressive" followed by crowd cheering.
Um exactly what part of her personality suddenly shone through after the makeover?
"aapko gaane mein bahut taqlif ho rahi thi, mein aapke liye dua maangunga"
which roughly translates to "you were singing like you were in pain.. i will pray for you"
Udit Narayan to contestants on their good days: "Bahuti zabardast performance thi aapki. aap zaroor top 5 mein aayenge"
Udit Narayan to contestants on their bad days: "Aaj aapki performance khaas nahin thi. LEKIN aap bahut acche singer hain aur mujhe poora vishwaas hain ke aap zaroor top 5 mein aayenge"
"Abhishek aapki aawaz ki besttt qvelity yehi hain ke aap ki aawaz mard jaise awwaz hain" - as opposed to Emon who sings like a helium inflated horse?
Anu Malik: "Chaaru please listen to me honestly"
Javed Akhtar: "jis tarah se gaate hain log parties vagera mein..." contestant's face falls even before the end of this sentence.
This is why i love Javed Akhtar.
What's her face said: "ek ladki kabhi lakda nahin bansakthi" because this one contestant happens to dress like a tomboy and sings with some life in her instead of trying to sound like some virginal heroine.
Other fun observations:
Alisha's necklace
Because Indian Idol is American Idol + The Maury Show. Just the other day they interrupted a live performance to have an emotional confession from contestant Abhishek who wanted to tell the world he was adopted. Um okay. We don't care fool.
Then the producers decided this TALENT SHOW needed more drama so they surprise Abhishek by bringing on stage both sets of his parents. Matashri number 1 arrived on stage with handbag, you know just in case she needed to pull out the adoption certificates.
Like seriously who gives a fuck. Sing and get off the stage damn it.

Waat eet ees?
The contestants seriously need to learn how to make appropriate faces at appropriate times. They look absolutely miserable when someone else is singing well. This is where the American idol contestants are well trained. They pretend to enjoy the other performances and smile and cheer. Learn to bitch when the camera is off. Did they not teach you anything in school?
Another reason to watch this show:
Javed Akhtar's facial expressions
Sometimes he really looks like he's in pain.
It totally reminds me of my aunt's mutton puffs or 'pups' as they are sometimes referred to by family members.

ek ladki kabhi lakda nahin bansakthi
WTF was this dialogue for.. I have heard this a godforesaken number of times.. every time there is an Indian Idol promo on tv!
And they really had this adopted dude's parents come over? Are you kidding me?
i have only seen it like once and omg, they are so badly dressed, even after their makeovers, i cud not take it anymore.
ROFL - Stumbled upon your blog via the tubeish intahnet, Xtremely funny!
me thinks Udit Narayan shops all his clothes from KIDS KEMP, he wears exactly the same suits the godforsaken mannequins avec horsetail wigs wear..
LOLLL. (no) thanks to your posts i wanted to watch the himesh movie and now i want to see indian idol. what is happening to me i say!
@sharma's karma: namskara. wat it be this 'tubeish intahnet'?
@irbaz: muahahahaha u totally watch the show dont u?
I am amazed you get to watch these shows in the US.
@the bride: i watch it online, some illegal website courtesy raobharathrao.
Heh I remember season one when an enormous Adnan Sami plodded through 1000s of terrible singers and got insulted by 20% of them. Fun times.
Enjoyed reading your blog :)
no pri, i dont actually. i'v seen more of american idol than the indian idol.
does this answer ur query?
javed akhtar's about the only honest judge on that thing. but i only say that because he usually says what i'm thinking. although his support for charu bamboozled me. why exactly is alisha on the panel? she's fairly useless from the 2 episodes or so that i've seen.
@anonymous: did u learn anything useful?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_of_tubes
Not a fan of the daily show I presume :)
@sharma's karma: of course i am. how can one be a true television whore and not be obsessed with the comedy central channel?
but im confused. did u mean to post this comment on the 30 rock post? i get the interweb - series of tubes thing. but indian idol - series of tubes?
@sharma's karma: ohhhhh i just read your first comment. i get it. never mind. im silly.
