Reality singing show "Indian Idol" that had set off a musical frenzy among television viewers will be back on the small screen soon with auditions for this year's series beginning in October.
The first Indian Idol, Abhijeet Sawant, announced the comeback of the show here Monday. Two other finalists of the earlier show - Rahul Vaidya and Aditi Paul, flanked him.

Sawant announced that registration of candidates would be done till September end on phone as well as by a team of the organisers that would tour 13 cities across India.

Auditions for the selected candidates would be held in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Lucknow.

After screening, 150 contestants would be short-listed by "Indian Idol" judges - music director Anu Malik, director-choreographer Farah Khan and singer Sonu Nigam.

They will choose 28 singers for the national level show on TV. That list would be brought down to just 12 finalists who would then compete for the coveted title of "Indian Idol" in November.

Sawant had won Rs.10 million besides a luxury car and other prizes when he was voted the best singer earlier this year. Based on "American Idol" and telecast by Sony TV channel, the first series of "Indian Idol" saw over 55 million viewers hooked to the show.

Sawant, who hailed from a middle class household, said his life had completely changed after the show, bringing him fame and success in singing. He said all the finalists of the previous show were also doing well in Bollywood's music industry now.


** I am TRULY so delighted, no words can express it...just simply, YAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is really very gladdening especially after one article said that Sonu might not be there in Indian Idol for the new season because his schedule was very tight and all that, which kinda got me depressed and I was hoping very very hard that he would come back...and he has!!!!!!!!!!!
Love ya Sonu!
