    Don't fool yourself

    Its a worst show no reality everything is fixed not only this dance shows like DID, star shows all are content based not on reality.

    Not the standard that international idol franchise has

    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.

    Overdramatic Reality Show

    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...

    TRP lovers... nothing else

    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...

    Scripted and fake

    Few of the initial seasons had real talent But now it's a scripted show Where all the invited guests have to praise no matter what Yelling isn't singing.
