Most Indian Entertainment Channels are busy these days unleashing one reality show after another. NDTV Imagine is out with its second attempt Idea Dhoom Macha De.

The concept of the show is pretty clear-cut; eleven of India’s most popular and professional singers competing against one another for the title of the country’s Best Live Performer. The contestant list goes something like this - Anaida, Baba Sehgal, Babul Supriyo, Devang Patel, Jaspinder Nirula, Jassi, Kamaal Khan, Richa Sharma, Sapna Awasthi, Suneeta Rao and Taz. And Shankar Mahadevan, Prasoon Joshi and yesteryears superstar, Sharmila Tagore, are judging the show.

The hatke factor as stated by the channel and other concerned parties is that this musical reality show is not a hunt for musical talent but an electrifying live performer from the lot of already established singers. All fair and square, me thinks. However I am not very convinced with their version of an “established singer”, I mean come on - Devang Patel, Baba Sehgal, Suneeta Rao, Taz, Anaida, etc - most of these guys are what we call “one-hit wonders”. Given the fact that their respective careers never really took off, using words such as “superstars” and “popular” is nothing but misleading the television junta.

Now this post is slightly off the usual topics we rant about on TEIO. But then again don’t they say “Variety is the Spice of Life”, so take a moment and go thru this and let me tell you that your VOTE could help me get a flashy meal off someone else’s expense.

Superman - My Hero No.1

Yesterday at a close friend’s party I landed up having a massive argument with some of the guys. The reason of disagreement was Superman is not the ultimate Superhero.

The thing is I am a total Superman freak and for me he is ranked higher than even Salman Khan - so now you can guess how serious I am about the man in red undies. But to my shocking horror not many think or feel the same for the Krypton super dude.

Some gave valid points on why Spiderman and Batman were more impressive while there were others who stuck on to nobodies like Blade, Thunderbird, Daredevil and The Hulk. Sadly, no one even mentioned He-Man considering the fact that there was a time when we fought with our friends just to be the first to mutter words like, “By the power of Grayskull…I have the power!”. (On a side note, this is currently me cell’s ringtone with the original background score).
