Indian Idol is back.......

Indian Idol is back on TV with its 3rd season. The fact that I am a music lover doesnt pull me so much to this show as my interest in the display of human emotions and idiosyncrasies which makes me a follower.
People can argue that most "reality" shows are "made up". But I guess at least the audition rounds can always be interesting to quench your reality desires. As far as talent hunt is concerned, it looks like they have done a good job this time. Rather than people approaching them, they have tried pro-active search for singers across big cities by going around and asking people - "do you know anybody who sings well?". Besides this season, the judge panel has changed. There are now 2 singers , one musician and one lyricist as compared to one singer, one choreographer and one musician last time around.
On the show, I look for the dream-come-true stories which are really inspiring although the people who are kicked out are always in majority but I believe there is always a next season and another talent hunt on another channel, so if you are good, there is no need to be disheartened. In fact, most good singers dont aspire to be any channel's idol. They all sing for themselves!!!.

Unfortunately, I couldnt watch the whole of 1st episode as I reached my home little late after a hectic friday.
