UNNECESSARY MAUSAM BADALTA REHTA HAI
akhilsyngal23 March 2023
It's true that that this show is filled with talented singers but what disappoints me is that the judges are not even pin pointing the contestant's singing if they are falling shot of something. Don't be harsh but at least tell them in a way that doesnt sound rude . Frankly speaking I am not a singer but as an audience I can really understand where the singer has fall shot . Look at how Sonu Nigam & Anu Malik used to pin point some mistakes in contestant's singing in older seasons but now these things don't tend to happen .

Unnecessary MAUSAM BADALTA REHTA HAI unn singers ke liye jinhone Gaana thik tarah nahi Gaya ho . This becomes annoying 😠

Judges are disturbing in middle
raosujit3 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The judges gossip or pass comments in middle of the songs . It will distract a lot of contestants and they don't allow to sing in a flow.

The songs are also sung very slow .

It has lost its standards now earlier was very very descent and used to get goosebump.

We should get good contestants also they are not up to the mark Can we not bring Neha Kakkar back ?

Sony tv shud really bring the standards as it was back during Sonu Nigam as contestant.

Lot of time is wasted on gossips actually should utilize those time in songs. The beats are slow also which makes the song vary from the original song sung by reputed artists.

Predetermined comments by judges
subirghoshal5 March 2023
Today everyone received "Mausam Badal Diya" except Debosmita which was totally unfair. No one sings Asha Ji's songs better than Debosmita. Looks like a pre planned strategy. When will these reality shows represent reality? These are always have a predetermined winner and the entire show is planned to promote that predetermined winner. Shannukhpriya was a victim of such strategy and now it seems Debosmita will probably be a victim of such strategy. All the girls in this year's Indian Idol have wonderful voice and are probably better than than the boys. Of course that is my personal opinion - they are definitely very good singers but their voice still need to mature.

Not just a singing show.
eldreddsouza13 December 2020
Was a fan during the earlier seasons and the junior version but of late, it's become more of a soap opera cum talk show. Honestly, you have to wait for about an average of half hour to hear a song. Extremely scripted and boring show. Wouldn't recommend.

Not the standard that international idol franchise has
Chasingbigdream28 March 2021
This is one of most irritating shows which rests on chaaplusis of the hosts and the singers. A lot of these singers who come have perhaps made appearance on other Indian musical shows. The stature of Indian music is blown to dust completely when the entertainment portion including rap, western music takes over the actual music portion which makes me dislike the show.

At the end of the show winners have already been decided by the internal team. I do not believe a single portion when these guys say that Public have voted and they eliminate the contestants based on the voting. Everyone knows that everything in India cam be fixed including such results. This show has become just a business but not really bringing out the real talent from nation

Who are the judges? Actors and actresses? Himesh Reshamiya who focuses to shave his chest and let public see his non hairy chest by opening the buttons. Why even wear a shirt. Just come bare naked. Then there are judges like Honey Singh, Geeta MA who make guest appearances to judge the singers? What singing abilities does Geeta MA have herself to rate the singers. How about someone like Anurag Basu or Ekta Kapoor? Or about Terence Louis. These guys are already making millions of rupees and what ability do they have to critic the singers? Why pay someone whose already making millions of rupees.

Why not bring on actual musicians and teachers or gurus and Pandits of India who are actual hidden talent and who are the ones behind these musicians upbringing and development?

This is a pathetic show that is a blot on Indian music. I think the only reason this show is airing is because of the money factor. Quality is crap. Value of such show goes to dust when music especially Indian music is not taken care of and respected well. Only money factor and PR of Chaaplusi comes into factors.

Find a more suitable topic for entertainment during the show
prkashravi4 February 2023
It's a great show providing opportunity to young talent and entertainment for viewers. The judges are very motivating.

However they need to be more mature and come up with a different line for creating humor. This continuous banter about pairing up high schoolers with one other and matrimony, makes the show appear cheap. They don't seem to realize the concept of friendship. There's more to life and future for these teenage contestants other than this topic. The judges need to realize they are almost the age of grandparents for some of these kids. When they start pairing them and asking questions about matrimony and such, it appears to give cheap thrills and so demeaning for the kids who are focused on the task at hand. If it was their 16 year old high schooler daughter/niece/grand-daughter will they do this to them in public. Please find something better and classy and truly fun. Otherwise it's one of the greatest show.

TRP lovers... nothing else
wwwjoshikaran7 March 2021
Talented singers but show just ruin their talent....Each episode of Indian Idol is of more than 1 hour and 2-3 singer sings for less than 2 min. So, you can think what happens in whole episode. Judges judge less but do overdrama more(that so called 'Mausam Badal Diya'). And so much drama by dramaqueen(Neha Kakkar) and my favourite (Pawandeep) is also now looking overdisplayed by judges. And their so called story of singers. Many singers' story is seriously fake. And displaying them poor, lachaar and mazboor just to attract viewers needs to be protested.. These so called judges never seem to be singing in the singing show.. They never show vote statistics, just declare... Atlast I would say In gaining TRP they failed this season and will severely fail if they will not change this fake reality show... Singing show hai to gaane gao aadhe ghante mein khatam karo agar nahi gaa paa rahe ho 2 min se jyada seriously...

Overdramatic Reality Show
jesteenjames14 June 2021
First of all not sure why Judges are there?...there comments are repetitive...biased...and overdramatic...if contestants are singing 100 percent perfect...why don't you end the show...and declare all winners... Production house main expenditure is Tissue Paper...for their crocodile tears...just for camera.. Third class show...

Such a scripted show
nitinmaheshwari3 April 2021
All scripted, judges are just puppets and they do overacting. All the contestants were already part of previous talent shows. Most of them were part of voice of india show. Such a fake and scripted show. All TRP game.

It's A Good Reality Show For Singing
MehdiRizvi-786725 February 2023
INDION IDOL 12...The Memorable Two...

For the ATTN of the Deciscion makers please..

No doubt it is an amazing andvinteresting show.

The judges , the celebrities, the management and the Public, I am sure ,could glaringly witness some monotonous cut and paste performances of shouting, yodelling with justa change of the song only with no melodious rendering what so ever. Of course whoever likes these stereo typed talented performances can dump rewards on them including making movies and singing opportunities etc. We get bored to watch such performances a few times..

The public and the judges should appreciate and encourage the real melodious , in depth voices with in toto presentation of the difficult ever green numbers...If not we will be undermining the greatness of the incarnations of Goddesses Saraswathi in Lataji and Ashaji...🙏🙏

The only two ever great voices of the calibre of Lataji and Ashaji to take reigns of Playback singing Indian film Industry are identified in this show..Many of us including the celebrities, judges and most of the musical public will be overwhelmed despite watching them repeatedly any number of times ...Sympathy and diverse talent has no role in judging a talented singing show. They can be rewarded by individuals as they like.

THE TWO MESMERIZING VOICES TO RULE INDIAN FILMS WOULD CERTAINLY BE ARUNITA KANJILAL 👏👍 SAYLI KAMBLE👏👍 YES

who should be encouraged by declaring them as Joint Winners and the industry should encourage them thereafter for long ( unlike the earlier winners) for their MAGICAL TALENT AND GOD GIFTED VOICES AND HARD WORK..🙏🙏

I WOULD REQUEST THE JUDGES, MANAGEMENY, CELEBRITIES, AND THE PUBLIC TO SUPPORT THEM WITHOUT CASTE, CREED,SYMPATHY AND FAVOURATISM CONSIDERATIONS...

MAY GOD BLESS THE INDIAN IDOL AND THE TALENTED SINGERS AND THE JUDICIOUS JUDGES AND THE ORCHESTRA

INFACT THE OPINION SINGERS, CELEBRITIES ( MUSIC DIRECTORS , DIRECTORS , ACTORS , AND THE GREAT ORCHESTRA EXPERTS) TO BE TAKEN NOT THE PUBLIC VOTE ON WHICHV HAS MANY LACUNAE OF IGNORING REAL TALENT.

GOOD LUCK .. TO INDIAN IDOL.

Most Cringed show ever!
vinayshri29 March 2021
It would have been better they've thrown out Neha out of the show. She's just popular that's why she is there,and not because she learnt music and knows what actually music is. Monali Thakur or Shreya Ghoshal could've been the best judge for any singing shows. Any many talented singer were eliminated just on the basis of votes. That's not even fair. The voting should be till last episode and than let the public decide who is the winner amongst the top 15 or 20.

Unfair treatment to talented contestant and praise for the unworthy.
rmtfffd16 October 2022
I'm a Hindustani vocalist and a university professor in Music who has been an avid follower of film music upto the nineties and even won prizes in its performances. However, I have been noticing that while contestant Senjuthi is being praised highly and even the very mediocre Ms Limaye, the really gifted and highly precise Sonakshi Kar is being ignored and shockingly her beautiful rendition of the immortal " Raina beeti jaye " was so harshly edited leaving out the important lines of the song in tonight's telecast. Similarly, her duet rendition of the Shivranjini based " tere mere beech me " was ignored despite her depiction being more precise !

Neha Kakkar was clearly being partial and I find it unacceptable.

Fake and Scripted.
abhivadan-vashisht6 June 2021
None of the contestants will be corrected even if they make a clear mistake. Everyone is compared to Indian music legends. This is unbelievable. How far can one stoop for TRP. SMP and few contestants have been singing only one type of songs since the beginning, what a joke.

Good show
shivaniabrol-7725824 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I have watched Indian Idol 12&13. Season 13 was better. In season 12 Winner Pawandeep Rajan was an above average singer. However singer Arunita Kanjilal reached the podium who deserved the trophy. It is an entertaining show with good singers they avoided Judge Neha Kakkar in both seasons. Anyways, I felt like some things was too scripted but still season 12 was a good season.

Let's talk about season 13 now. The eliminations were better by judges . The scores were better by judges. Winner Rishi Singh was an average singer. Deboshmita Roy runner-up was an amazing singer. Chairag Kotwal was a pretty bad singer. The first 5 eliminations were pretty good . I felt like they could've a little bit stop voting .

Want to see Singer Sunidhi Chauhan on your show
bharatimahant17 March 2023
I like songs of Sunidhi Chauhan. Would love to see her on your show. She deserves to be invited by Sony Tv. She is a great singer and I wonder why she's not been invited yet. Well we the followers of the singing queen Sunidhi Chauhan are waiting to see her on your show. Why should we write so many words for review when we can express our views in less words than 600 hundred characters as it seems to be the requirement at your end to write a review. Is it necessary to waste your words unnecessarily. I have written that I think your channel should have invited Sunidhi Chauhan long back. Don't your producing team think So ???
