Indian Idol 4 Piano Round - Girls' First Elimination
After starting the Indian Idol 4 Piano Rounds with a bang, the Top 15 girls faced their first elimination on Saturday night.
Hosts Hussein Kuwajerwala and Meiyang Chang began Saturday’s episode by calling four girls on stage: Srijita Kar, Bhavya Pandit, Purnima Vishwanathan, and Priyanka Negi.
Then Hussein and Chang went on with that nerve-wracking, suspense-building dialogue that Indian Idol pays him the big bucks to say: “It may be that the next four minutes are your final moments on this stage…” You know, that type of thing.
Hussein then asked Srijita if she thought that her journey on Indian Idol would end so soon. Srijita replies that if she gets eliminated, then she won’t like it but she’ll work harder in the future. She said that she has prepared herself.
And then Hussein gave me, and everyone else around India, a heart attack. He announced that the first person to be eliminated was Bhavya. WHAT THE…..!!!! You could hear audible gasps across the studio because Bhavya is one of the best singers among this bunch, and performed near the top during Friday’s piano round. There is no way that she could have been eliminated. Right? Right?
But then Hussein saved my life by asking Bhavya to read from the cue card, which basically said that the results were being tabulated and that they would have to wait. Because of this, they did the girls elimination at the end of the episode.
Chang announced that on Friday night, Megha Sharma, Srijita, Purnima, Raina Lahiri and Akanksha Palkar received criticism from the judges. But the people have always listened their own hearts….
He then called Akanksha, Tulika Ganguly, Bhavya, Priyanka, and Shini Calvint on stage. He told them that their time on this stage is short because they are all safe! Well, I didn’t expect Akanksha to be safe (she was one of my predictions for elimination yesterday), but she is!
Judges Anu Malik, Javed Akhtar, Sonali Bendre, and Kailash Kher were definitely pleased. (I think Kailash was especially happy about Tulika!)
There were 10 contestants left and four to be eliminated. Hussein then invited Srijita, Sunakshi Raina, Sourabhee Debbarma, Ananya Mishra, and Torsha Sarkar on stage. At this point, I started getting heart palpitations again because like Bhavya, I think Sourabhee, Ananya and Torsha have a long way to go in this competition.
He first declared Sourabhee to be safe. As she was about to walk off the stage, he called her back and asked her to take Ananya and Torsha with her because they were also safe.
Sunakshi and Srijita were left standing on stage and Hussein invited Raina, Megha, Pooja Ghosh and Purnima back on stage.
Chang then asked Nirali Fauzdar to remain seated because she is safe. (Yay!!!).
Back on the stage, Hussein announces the first elimination: Purnima Vishwanathan.
Srijita was told she was safe.
Pooja was then eliminated.
Raina was eliminated.
And then it was down to Sunakshi and Megha. Sunakshi gave a great performance during the Piano Round and Megha did not, but Sunakshi was the one eliminated. I’m guessing it’s because of that annoying teddy bear thing...
The judges were also shocked at Sunakshi’s elimination, and thought that it was a wrong decision. But really? What did they expect?
Here’s my take on the elimination: The audience definitely got it right this time. I predicted Pooja, Akanksha, Megha and Raina to be out. However, it was only a matter of time before Purnima and Sunakshi were voted out. Neither one of them were strong contenders for the crown and whether it was this week or sometime in the near future, they were going to be eliminated. The audience just took care of it now.
Stay tuned for the Boys’ Piano Round performances!
