AMIT VS PRASHANT ? Who Will Win The Crown!!



ABOUT AMIT PAUL

This struggling singer had given up his studies to pursue his passion. When the chance to participate in Indian Idol came along, Amit Paul thought it was a godsend. But his dreams seemed to be in danger of dying even before they matured. He was voted out early in the show.
But he got a second lease of life through a wild card entry. And there has been no looking back since. This perfectionist is now in the finals. Will the `find of Indian Idol`, as the judges call him, be crowned the winner.


ABOUT PRASHANT TAMANG

The police is all about duty, force and action. Not an ambience that nurtures a singer. But this sepoy beat all odds (no formal training in music is a huge factor) to make it to the Indian Idol stage. The first Nepali to ever take part, Prashant Tamang soon had everyone wrapped around his little finger. His fans were so enthusiastic in voting for him that he has never been in the danger zone till date. Negative comments from the judges only spurred him on to do better. Now he has proven his worth and he is in the Top 2.

I agree with Samir, Amit was my Idol first but after seeing the mumbai cafe round and the last gala, Prashant was really good. I mean he was better than my idol. I congratulate him, despite all bias eyes prying on him. I felt the judges were bias in the last gala and sony was concerntrating too much on Amit. This I really didn't like. I liked Anu Malik's comment. My view point has changed. Though both are good singers, but I feel Prashant has proved himself and we should respect that. I am for Prashant.

hey parsant .. keep it up man ... u r the hope of upcoming generation .. and prey 4 u man ... !



the generation to the next.................

I'm slightly biased in favor of prashant but am ok with either winning the crown.

I'm especially happy that the peripheral states of Meghalaya, Assam and Sikkim and of course the Darjeeling region has been cast into the limelight.

Even if they are voting for their state-ka-aadmi, they are ultimately voting for an all-India crown. That feeling of comnection with the Indian heartland I think was the sinbgle biggest achievement of the show. No amount of govt sponsored publicity or paens or propaganda could have wrought what this show has brought - a feeling of nationalism, belonging, self-belief and happiness in the folks of these smaller states of India.

Welcome aboard, folks!

Hey,

Both Amit and Prashant are good. However, I feel Amit's performance is more lively. Initially I wanted both Amit and Prashant to reach the finals. However, I cant resist favouring Amit.

I think he is a true idol, coz like all of us he has made mistakes, but has lerant from them n excelled.

So,I think Amit should win.
Now its not upto 2 us to decide who wins and who loses, who ever has got it in his destiny will win.

Best of luck to both Amit and Prashnt but in my heat i want Amit 2 win.

i really think amit should be the next idain idol not bcz i like amit its bcz he has a great voice like old famous singers prashant is also good i like him he sings very good but if he become indian idol that wont be fair to amit coz he really deserves to be an indian idol even when he sings without the music his voice is just great i dnt knw much abt indian music n im also not idain but i like to listen to indian music n a little bit that i knw i really think amit should win.

Nritya said...

Well i really appreciate wat Desi has written...i have similar opinions regarding the feeling of the peoples that has been generated as Amit and Prashant reached the top two slot.The people of North East and Darjeeling has really connected with the rest of India and it is great feeling for everyone .Whoever wins the grand finale ,in a way it will be a reason of celebration out there for people of two regions.....Long way to go for both talented singers.

Krishna Dai said...

Great news for all Prashant fans, lets celebrate!!! Prashant is leading by a very large number of votes and there is no way that Amit can catch up.

Unknown said...

BOTH AMIT AND PRASHANT ARE VERY GOOD SINGERS.BUT PRASHANT IS MORE A VERSATILE SINGER....HE SINGS FROM THE HEART....AND IN HIS VOICE LIES THE ORIGINALITY THOUGH SOME TO EXTEND ROUGH AND TOUGH.... SO FOR ME PRASHANT HAS GOT THE EDGE...

Prashant is so naive, harmless, unsophisticated, unworldly, artless, childlike, gullible, ingenuous, pure, simple

sexy babe said...

I VOTE FOR PRASHANT
dis is 4 RABI,well ya think tht it will b fair for prashant if amit wins? I LIKE BOTH OF DEM BUT M MORE INTO PRASHANT,i like more prashants voice,it sounds soo unique.

Unknown said...

Dear all,
I like Prashant's voice more. He is a better and more versatile a singer and could handle any type of song.It is after all the cellular power which is working behind the results. Yes, It is a fact that Prashant is the lad next door and deserves appreciation for bringing about tremendous improvement in his singing and style despite of the fact that his accent and pronunciation is a matter of concerned. His singing shows effortless unlike that of Amit Paul whose singing shows lot of stress and heavy...

VOTE FOR PRASHANT

Amit Paul, u r the ONLY person who deserves 2 b Indian Idol 3. U hav ALWAYS been my favourite contestant and i pray tht u become Indian Idol 3. I dont care wht the results r, u n only u r MY idol! All the best 2 u! i luv u! prashant has come till top 2 n thts more than enough 4 him. he duznt deserve tht posotion n has no right of becoming indian idol. bharat ki shaan ka sawaal hai. koi bhi chindi chor thode hi bharat ki shaan ban sakta hai.

Prashant said...

I'M NUTS ABOUT YOU U DRIVE ME CRAZY U DRIVE ME MAD

Prashant said...

vote for your community vote for your state

Unknown said...

East or West Amit is the Best!
Go Amit we are with you..... Hey guys open your eyes, heart and mind. lookkkkkkk Amit is better singer over prashant it's clear like water. . . dont try to act like you are blind.....Even though prashant wins indian idol title because of regional voting he wont be able to make his career in Music industry. on the other hand Amit will rule music industry as all the judges are with Amit and the most important thing is even Bollywood is with Amit... so open your eyes NOW>.......

Unknown said...

hey dhruva....... open your eyes...
why you dont see that Amit can sing all kind of songs as Javedji, Anu Malik, Sonu Nigam, Alish chinai, Udit Narayan said he is the best. No one wants prashant to come to even top 5. prashant can sing only certain kind of songs Vs Amit can sings all the songs from Kishor Kumar TO Kunal Ganjwal... so dhruva beti please open your eyes and vote for correct candidate..... lolzzz

xpikon said...

Pershant might be a good singer without a training but the fact is Amit has too much versatilely than Pershant.

Nritya said...

Hello Amit,
U seem to be great fan of Amit Paul and i can understand u being be so vocal about the fact that he should win the Indian Idol.But why are under rating Prashant....Do u really think that he has just reached the top slot because of this votes.......Ohhh c'mon if u just go through your old geography book (if u have ever seen Indian Map)u will see that North East from where Amit hails is far more bigger than Darjeling.Now u are talking of all those goddamm regional voting ......if its so then Amit is also getting his fair share of votes from his region...Now talking of rest of India its clear they are voting for the one whom they think should be next Indian Idol.U also know that they will not see the background .If the rest of India want Amit to be the chosen one then leave it to them,u just stop saying things about Prashant.
Coming to the versatality of these two singers why do u think that Amit is the only one who has this quality?Yes he has flawless voice but so has Prashant....both have improved a lot and on a par they are both equal.Let me remind you both are amauteurs and both are improving.
Prashant has done faboulous job till now.If u like Amit then dont go around telling Prasahnt is bad singer.We all know he is also very very good one.
Just because u like Amit u dont have the right to say Prashant is good for nothing.Just do one work vote for Amit and we will do it for Prashant.
And in the future do change ur way of judgement.

Nepalis in Darjeeling, Kurseong, Sikkim... are going to be bankrupt by the end of this show SUCKERS for punishment

Lee Parker said...

Amit is better singer and I will love to see him as the Bharat Ki Shaan but Prashant has a greater chance of winning the titile as Prashant is getting the votes of Calcutta Police as well as from people of Darjeeling. If Prashant wins the title then Indian Idol 3 will be a flop show as Indian Idol 2. Just see what happened to Indian Idol 2 -- Sandeep......Even the Sony channel didn't took the risk of calling him while they call Abhijit Sawant, Indian Idol 1 for twice. This will happen to Prashant if he becomes the Indian Idol. At this point of the show his untrained voice has become very prominent. Amit Paul will surely make mark in the industry whether he becomes the Indian Idol or not!

Of course the music is a great difficulty. You see, if one plays good music, people don't listen, and if one plays bad music people don't talk.

Ron Wood
There's a basic rule which runs through all kinds of music, kind of an unwritten rule. I don't know what it is. But I've got it.

Yoko Ono
All my concerts had no sounds in them; they were completely silent. People had to make up their own music in their minds!

Frank Zappa
There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one another.

Kareena said...

I bet if you asked one million musicians and music experts about who was the worst male singer on American Idol these past few episodes, one million of them would say Sanjaya.

Why is this happening? Why is anyone voting for Sanjaya? I could understand it if he were the reverse Antonella, but I really can't imagine that Sanjaya is going to inspire adulation from the ladies. Please, comment below if I'm wrong, but his looks can't be the reason for the votes he is getting. The only thing I can think of is that it has to do with his ethnicity.

Sad but truth said...

I dont believe people should be baise on ethinicity. Yes, sometime it is the ground. Amit is very good singer, and has shown that with his selection of different language songs. He has lured judges and impressed many viewers. But Prashant has constantly shown the reliable and magical voice which is so simple and soothing that million can relate to. Also, for the fact that he is so simple and careing. Many people relate to him as their own. He should be the idol because he represents India, todays India where simple person with no high caste or connection can do it and be there. Therefore Prashant must win to show how open minded India and Indians are. Vote for Prashant

Sad but truth said...

I also think if Amit wins (there is a fair chance he might) then Sony Ent. will be tarnished with bais judges and host for the show. Is this what they want to risk? After such a popularity with media and phone sms money.
It is 50-50 in pure math but I still think Prashant will win and must win. Vote for Prashant.

Unknown said...

AMIT IS THE BEST AND I AM DAM SURE HE IS GOING TO WI AS HE CAN SING ALL TYPES OF SONGS
HIS BEST ONE WAS-MANN

i am with u amit jst go on with ur eyes closed n keep trust in god u will win u r my idiol.ok keep it up amit lu v

Kareena said...

The voters can be wrong. Often they vote for the wrong political party. So what’s so unusual about them voting for the wrong singer? Javed asked on the show.

Unknown said...

prashant try your perfection in your duty not in singing i am not doing comment on ur siging but your duty is duty

To “ALL” you Prashant and Nepali Haters.......BOHOOOOOOOO. Look who got the last laugh now.

Amit was a strong contender no doubt BUT it was Prashant's talent that came shining through. Like it or not, he "IS" deserving of this victory. His unflinching confidence, humility and undeniably calm demeanor further reflects the nobility that lies in him.

I am confident this is just the beginning of his stardom. Prashant, I wish you continued success. Thanks for making "ALL" the Nepalese around the world extremely proud. You showed your worst critics the true essence of your calibre. If this is a matter of challenge, we Nepalese will once again step up to the challenge and see to it that he succeeds.

Regardless, Prashant you “ARE” the Indian Idol and we’re extremely proud of you.

To that ignorant girl who called him a "chindi" in an earlier post....honey you have a long way to go before "intelligence" in any form will even come remotely close to you. That was an IGNORANT, irresponsible comment that speaks volumes about your upbringing, your intelligence, your immaturity and your educational background. I pity you because your choice of words has displayed your lack of intelligence and maturity in front of the whole world.

Prashant is not a looser; Nepalese are not loosers...YOU my dear need to come off your cocoon and open your eyes to the realities of life.

In this era, where we live in a global village...if that is what your true sentiments are, you will discover (very soon if I might add) how pathetically incorrect you are. India is a cauldron of mixed cultures and ethnicities. Just because someone looks or speaks differently than you does NOT mean he/she is beneath you. So step out of your comfort zone...don't cling to negative stereotypes...because the world has moved ahead. It is time for you to either catch up or be left behind.

Regards,


Maili.

Dude! No matter what winning matters in the end. I don’t know why it is soooooooooooooo hard for you to except Prashant as a winner of Indian Idol 3. And who the hell are you to verdict that Prashant doesn’t deserve to be Indian Idol????
It appears that you really have a good taste for music and perhaps you could really prove to be a good judge. You know greatest rock stars and pop stars were laughed at like Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley etc.
And Please refrain from using that cheap phrases which sux big time.

Mother fuc-ker arnaz, behen chod, chindi chor kis ko bolta hai, teri puri family me randi log hai kya. ishi leye tera soch is down like the nali ke kere. fcuk you arnaz, fcuk you and your whole family.

Hey rest of India, see how this arnaz has violated our right to freedom and speech. we had to answer him, this guy is racist and is discriminating. once again, tere purey family ko chodne ke leye tayar hoo mein.

Stop cribbing !! You knew this was a contest where a winner would be selected by the number of votes they received.

If you preferred other contestants over Prashant then you could have voted any number of times to have your favorite on stage as there was no restriction...was there?? Or were your hands tied ? See no one stopped you from voting ; so why complain now? What's done cannot be undone and Prashant has got immense support from ALL NEPALI SPEAKING PEOPLE - and for those of you who think Darjeeling has only people from Nepalese origin then you are highly mistaken. There is much unity amongst the various ethnic backgrounds - marwaris, tibetans, nepali, bengali,bihari, sherpas just to name a few - and this contest just proved it. They voted because this lad represented them and because they believed he could prove himself as a singer. And he did ! It is no mean feat to be up on stage among such talented/trained singers and with his undaunted courage and our belief in him, Prashant is now the third Indian Idol !

There is no denying that Amit is a better singer and since he is one -there will be no looking back for him as he has already carved a niche for himself - so people why fret? It is just a competition and it was up to us to choose our Idol and we chose ours !

Maybe this will be a learning experience for the next season?
