Prashant Tamang has won the coveted crown of Indian Idol 3, Sony Entertainment Television’s most popular reality show. It came as a surprise to me as I was really expecting Amit Paul to be an outright winner. But then I also had this fear that Prashant might just win because he had a huge following who did not miss a single chance to SMS for him. Remember he was the only contestant who never went into danger zone throughout the show. However, talking pure talent, I do not see anyone disagreeing to me that Amit Paul was the best. And I do believe that Indian Music Industry has already noticed him and in the days to come, he could turn into a very busy playback singer.
The grand finale was a three-hour show held in National Small Industries Corporation Ground, Okhla Industrial Estate, New Delhi. It saw thousands of fans waiting breathlessly for the results, while millions others watched it from their homes. The show saw performances from the top 13 contestants, as well as from Mika, Alisha Chinnai, Anu Malik, Udit Narayan and Sukhwinder Singh. John Abraham made a surprise entry at the end, and was the one to declare Prashant the winner. As soon as he heard the news, Prashant became emotional and could not hold back his tears. His mother, who was accompanying him, broke down in tears as well. On the other hand, runner-up Amit Paul, who hails from Shillong, was all smiles.
Both boys won a Maruti SX4 car each. Prashant also got a Rs 1 crore contract with Sony.
I know all of you will have something to say on the format of this show, where we saw some real good talents voted out based on number of SMSs received. I was hoping that all would end well with the most talented Amit Paul winning the crown. But that was not to be. At the same time I am very happy for Prashant too. No doubt he is very talented but somehow I feel his voice sounds very similar to Babul Supriyo (or Kumar Sanu). Whereas Amit Paul is what we call an original singer! Best of luck to both these guys!!! This is just the beginning.
