Amitabh Bachchan Shares his views on Indian Idol


The hopes and aspirations of the young, their desire and joys at recognition, their expectations and their despondent expressions of defeat and loss, are a sight that would move any human. They did mine tonight as also last night, when I watched the Indian Idol preliminaries on Sony TV.

One of the most painful ingredients of human life is the moment of judgment. When you are judged for your worth, when you are judged for your talent, when you are judged for your value.

So yes I watch Indian Idol with great interest and expectation, but I also invite with it on myself, the figure of rejection on others. Everyone will not win in this contest, or in life. There will be losers too. But rather than submit to fate and resign, I would want to accept that ’so long as there is life, there is struggle’, and with that continue to keep banging against an unbreakable wall, not with any expectation that it shall give way, but with the belief that I would never have known that it would not, if I had not tried.

  1. Indian Idol 5 selection procedure is absolutely wrong. Why dont the judges (the trio - Sunidhi, Anu & Salim) judge even for the pre-audition. The pre-audition selection procedure is purely based on influence/recommendations and dats absolutely wrong. How can they judge dat South Indians too cant sing hindi songs. Those who have learnt Carnatic music sing really beautifully so dont you think they need to be given a fair chance? Why cant the judges really think of re-doing the selection procedure and give a fair chance to born-versatile singers than to participants coming with personal recommendation.
