This is the first time in the history of Indian Idol that two girls have reached the finals. And there is a lot of discussion going on everywhere about it. Will the Indian crown rest on a pretty shoulder this time? In another 24 hours we should be able to know when Torsha and Saurabhee battle it out against Kapil in the finals. While Kapil has been Mr Consistent, the girls have been better off in terms of overall performance in the recent past. Tellychakkar spoke to the winners and popular participants of the last few seasons of Indian Idol 4 to find out who they feel will win the title this time.

Prashant Tamang:

As all of you are aware, I come from a police background. This time, Kapil is also from the Army background and I would like to support him wholeheartedly. I know how difficult it is to sing and try to make a career in singing if you are from the force. Hats off to Kapil for coming so far and I pray that he wins the contest. I feel, if for any reason he cannot win, it will be Saurabhee. However, I have not been voting this time as I am busy with my commitments.

Prajakta Shukre:

Finally the time has come when a girl will win Indian Idol. When I participated in Indian Idol, Aditi (Pal) and I had reached the Top 10 list and everyone appreciated our voices and crooning abilities a lot. But for some reason, those days people never voted for female participants and thought they could never win or become a good singer. And thus we lost out. But the situation is different this time. I feel Saurabhee should win the title because she sings and interacts with the audience very well.

Rahul Vaidya:

Unfortunately my favourite contestant Rajdeep Chatteree did not make it to the finals. I felt he was the contestant who deserved to win this year. But among the current three, I feel Kapil is the best. But that does not mean the others are bad. I feel it will be a neck to neck contest with Kapil having a slight edge over others.

Deepali:

After seeing the three finalists in Indian Idol, I feel viewers are going to see a girl winner this time. I will be supporting Saurabhee and feel she should win. If it is not her, I feel Kapil should win because he is the only participant who has improved in every episode through sheer hard work. Just for the kind of effort he has put in, Kapil should win it.

Amit Sana:

Unfortunately, due to my current commitments, I have not been able to follow this season’s Indian Idol closely. But I have heard that the girl from North-East – Saurabhee has come a long way. I could manage to see Saurabhee perform in a couple of episodes and found that she is someone who can make you really happy through her songs. I feel that is a great talent for a singer to have.

Amit Paul:

I think Saurabhee will win. She can entertain and enthrall her audience by singing and also has the X-factor. This is a unique quality some singers have. And those who have it need to be given the extra help and support. Though I am not voting, my sister is more than making up for me!
