Prashant Tamang -A Nepalese in Indian Idol 3



Prashant Tamang,24, whose family background relates to Nepal and hails from Darjeeling is one of a proud singer to represent all Nepalese in one of India's Most popular musical TV Show 'Indian Idol'. Currently, he works for Calcutta police where once his father served. After the death of his father in an accident, he got recruited in his place and is serving well in Calcutta police orchestra too.

Indian Idol is the ditto copy program of American Idol. All the contestants are musical colossals and are well-versed in their singing talent. There are three judges for this 'Indian Idol 3', Javed Akhtar, Alisha Chinoi and Udit Narayan whose judging eyes can't escape even the minor faults of the singers. Some times they dig more of it. This time i'm watching this show because i came to know that One Nepalese is struggling for his ground on this foreign land who is none other than Prashant Tamang.

Regarding judges:

Javed Akhtar: i personally never liked this old man, husband of sabna aajmi(indian actress) and whose son looks even older than him but ever since, he started to talk for Prashant Tamang, i started to like this old man's comment. This old man is awarded with the India's most reputed award. He is writer,critics and so. But i don't know why this old man is judging indian's singing talents who has nothing to take and give with singing. His 'Dekhiye.. ' is very irritating.

Alisha Chinoy: If i'm not wrong than this woman is not married yet and who thinks herself as a teenage girl. But truly, her voice is amazing and her songs are very beautiful. No matter if a good looking guy has made a minor issues or not, she just ignores them and finds issues on girls singing. Personally, i hate this woman too but i like her songs.

Udit Narayan: This man is chameleon type. He boldly claims he is Nepalese when he is in Nepal and again boldly claims he is Indian when he is in India. May be because of this his dual character, he got two wives. He really got ripped last time because of this polygamy thing. But now, that's settled and he's one of the judge. No matter what, we know he is Nepalese and i'm in favour of him too. He's the man with the golden voice. In indian idol 3, i'm getting irritated with his ' lekin, parantu, blah blah '

Now, if i could, i would have voted for Prashant Tamang too. He is one hellava singer. He is now in Top 6 till yesterday(friday). But i know who is the next Indian Idol this time i.e Abhisek Kumar and my instinct never dodges me. But still, it'd be miracle if Prashant became indian Idol but will they let it happen so easily ?? i don't think so.

hello friend, your last line has already become true, Reliance comprising of all Bengali people barred all sms sending and thus from voting yesterday. They barred the whole of Darjeeling hills and Sikkim. Really fucked up people. This is how they have been winning the race but now not for long.

Navin said...

If this news is true, then the decision will be biased. It's better to ditch that show.. then..

Darjeeling must ditch that Reliance too. Darjeeling has got Nepalese heart. Darjeeling lai Sauta ko choro ko bewar garni tyo chor indian haru??

Navin said...

Nepali music, i just read your blog post and it really saddened all the Nepalese people and their supporters.
Those crooked Reliance must be fucked up.

dartee said...

i like the way he removes his mic from his mouth when he completes his line .. and again starts next line ...

Speed said...

okies few correction hai philey : the show actually has 4 judges ....... i guess you left out anu malik ........... and actually hes not in top 10 but in top 13 :)

i really love this guy singing ....... he got really good voice ....... i agree with the fact that alisha's judgment is biased and she goes for looks rather than voice ....... as for javed despite of being a lyricist i think that he gives better comments than the other two ........ indian idol was more fun while anu malik was around but now he is sick or somthing like that ..............

Navin said...

speed hora bro?? i thought he is in top 10 because, last time there were 6 guys and 6 girls and 1 from each side got eliminated. With that, there are 10 peoples altogether. I think you missed that show. This coming weekend will be tremendous show :)

dartee, exactly.. that's the way he sings which i like too.

Yo Indian Idol pani pahila ko jastai ta hune hola ni. Lakhau jana le euta vote garnu ra Ekjana le lakhau bhot garnu ma kehi farak nai audaina. I think the unique voting must be allowed rather than multi vote. Prasant is the knight fighting with neighbour nationl hahah cheers~~~ Best of luck to Prasant
NTC le pani tyo voting service ma join gareko bhaye hunthyo. Ani keho Alisha lai matra gaali jhan tyo daka Uditey le ta kasto shatier hanera domiate garcha prasant lai. Malai ta mukhmai pwakka handiyu jasto ris uthya thiyo. Afno desh ko manche lai support nagarera Lekin, Parantu, But, bhancha Dman holy fucker Udit. Teslai pakh bato ma eklai ta bhetos :p :) ;)

anonymous, why do you doubt?? we are Nepalese by heart and we live in Nepal and this site is Nepalese-made. and for your comment, i really thank you as you found it Sweet. And , anonymous(i wish i could call you by your name,please write some name next time, a request and i bet you'll still be anonymous even if you come by some nickname) you are right, Alisha is a bitch and this bitch has a crush on Sohit. It was on yesterdays show too when she said " i already started missing you Sohit". She is not paying attention on talent,just on look.

sikkim-my-beautiful-sikkim, thanks for your comments and i just been through your blog, it's very nice. Keep up the good work.

why are these indian Idol crew bringing VOTED OUT back to the show in the name of WILD CARD??? strange but at somewhere i feel, it's not only talent seek, but they want more money from the people who keep sending SMS on and on to their favorite idol.

I found that from within the Indian territory, one can submit the vote online too but for that they've to purchase VOTE PACK which cost Indian Rs 2 per vote. Now, the business is at high for these people.

I used to wonder what if single person donate One rupee and accumulate them, then for our country, it will result 2 Crore 60 Lakh rupees which we could utilize for the development of various sectors of our country. Lets say.. do it every year. But bhaammmmmmmmm... indian idol is doing that business .. they are making lots of money... making billions of billions rupees.

anyway, this is just my feelings.. i still would faithfully vote for Prashant if i were too..

prashant has changed the whole idea of indian television . well goodluck prashant

Anonymous said...

well the wild card thingy was bit too not fair at all it was suppose to be wild card round thought that it would be computer generated but nahh it was like the judges favourite pick up hmm very unfair

Navin said...

Anon, you are right, that's what i felt. Why are they bringing back those who are already gone? it has just made the show soooo uninteresting..

speed said...

i heard that ntc also allows sending sms to 2525 ......... i have never tried it myself but my brother says so .........

Navin said...

That's not possible for the time being. I just made an inquiry to them. Negative.

Bias judgement

On the episode telecasted on September 15, 2007, in the first round of songs, Prashant misses a word from his song which he mumbles and does not sing out clearly. All the judges except Udit Narayan comment sharply against Prashant. Javed Akhtar (commercial Urdu poet who writes for Hindi movies) goes as far as saying that he would like to cheer him with "once more" as long as he does not sing the song correctly. In second song, both the contestants sing well but the other contestant gets standing ovation from the judges who claim him to be "Indian Idol" at least for the judges. Alisa Chennoi goes as far as saying that she is voting for the other contestant. No judge is supposed to support or promote any contestant as a part of rules of any fair game on earth. The program hosts announce that the third song will be the deciding song as for the very first time both the singers will be singing the same song. In this song, the other contestant completely forgets the opening lines. He simply mumbles 5 starting lines of the song. He sings flat and can not recover even with the remaining parts of the song. By convention, a performer is supposed to finish the song, who is then judged by the judges and then after a commercial break, the other performer performs his/her song. However, seeing this pathetic condition of his friend (all the judges gave a shocked look), Prashant comes to stage and helps him with a few lines. As the other contestant does not recover even after that, Prashant sings the song (he was supposed to sing the song after the judge's verdict and after a commercial break) and somehow maintains the poise of the program. After he finishes the song, Javed Akhtar says that the other contestant missing out a whole stanza equates Prashant missing a word, similar comment is bestowed by Alica Chennoi. Before Udit Narayan even finishes his comment, the female host quickly says that Udit Narayan has forgiven both. Anu Mallik tried to interrupt the bias but the host interrupted him saying that its time for commercial break. After the commercial break, Anu Mallik finally commented that the other contestant had done a terrible singing and that the judges should not take sides. Judges should from their side should be objective. Other judges show little intent of correcting and/or reflecting their mistakes. Anu Mallik raised the very valid question that was so apparent in previous episodes of INDIAL IDOL which is No matter how good Prashant sang the other judges and the guests did not appreciate his singing, why? Why is it so hard for the people to admit that Prashant Tamang is an extremely talented singer?

This reflects a valid concern that has been raised ever since whether the organizers will go with the POPULAR CHOICE or interfere with the actual decision like the biased presentation.
