Indian Idol, India’s foremost and the biggest search for the singing sensation finds its admirer in none other than India’s biggest superstar of all times, Amitabh Bachchan.
Big B recently wrote on his blog about his first impressions on the inaugural episode of Indian Idol 5, the excerpts of which are enclosed below:
"The hopes and aspirations of the young, their desire and joys at recognition, their expectations and their despondent expressions of defeat and loss, are a sight that would move any human. They did mine tonight as also last night, when I watched the Indian Idol preliminaries on Sony TV.
We often talk of the power of the youth, the strength and importance of their existence in the making of a nation. We speak thus at times, just to be considered correct, because it is politically correct to say so. But to believe in it, to witness it, be involved in it is an education by itself.
As I see contestant upon contestant being judged by a panel of professionals, I feel myself transported into the very moment in the lives of these young. They all come from humble to very humble backgrounds. They come with belief and desire. They carry with them the blessings of their elders. They come with the hope of living up to the expectations with which their family sends them. Almost all of them give the reason for being there to wanting to do something for the family, to prove to them their worth. To have some vehicle by which they could express ambition, future and the eventual victory. Each face among the millions that appear, has but only one determined expression - to be seen, to be heard, to be accepted, to win. Each face among the millions that appear, carries the despair and fear of failure. Not all will succeed they know, yet the wish that they succeed despite, plays prominently."
