Indian Idol blown away by Bhutanese reception
2008-05-29 21:09:00 28 May, 2008 - The show kicked off three hours late. Most chairs were empty. Tickets were expensive and one of the performers, Charu, missed her flight.Despite all that, Prashant Tamang?s show in Thimphu, though not a roaring commercial success, went down well with the waiting audience. The third Indian idol?s first song of the evening, Jab se tere naina from the film Saavariya followed by Bhegay hoot teri from Murder was welcomed with whistling and cheers as the short and perky singing sensation set the Thimphu crowd dancing with old sentimental Nepali and hit Hindi songs. The show went on till midnight as more people poured in after the organizers slashed ticket rates to a uniform Nu 100 from the earlier Nu 300, 500 and 700. Many chose to watch for free from nearby buildings and the flyover area opposite the concert arena. The response overwhelmed the singer. Speaking to Kuensel, the 25-year old said that he was apprehensive about how the show would be received. ?It?s my first t... More About: Indian Idol , Idol , Reception
Prashant?s show not attractive
2008-05-28 12:19:00 Thimphu, May 28: The Indian Idol Prashan Tamang received low turn-over in this performance in Thimphu instead of heavy expectation on May 24. Absence of his co-performer Charu also left the show unsuccessful. The audiences were forced to wait for three hours. He performed popular songs such as Jab se tere naina from the film Saavariya and Bhegay hoot teri from Murder. Nepali and Hindi numbers had pulled viewers to dance floors. The organizers were forced to decrease the ticket prices from Nu 100 from Nu 300, 500 and 700 after which number of viewers increased to accompany Tamang until mid-night. The viewers were discouraged due to repeated cancellation of the concert, for which the organizers blame the authorities. Bhutan News Service More About: Show , Attractive

No show for Indian idol
2008-05-03 10:04:00 Indian Idol , Prashant Tamang, and co-contestant Charu were to perform live at the Changjiji ground in Thimphu today but there will not be any show. Following a confusion of last-minute bureaucratic procedure and protocol, the show has been postponed. Official approval for live musical concert was given, then revoked and the matter was bounced about between agencies. Eventually, it took the Lyonchen himself to step in between and put an end to the long and winding game. The concert will be performed on May 24. Although approved earlier on April 24, the live show was revoked by the culture department on April 28 on grounds that foreign artists weren?t permitted to perform in the country. The Thimphu City Corporation had approved the posters and banners for the concert on April 1. BICMA removed all posters and banners pasted in town on April 25. According to the the organiser of the event, Nguldrup Dorjiks of Jigdrel Trophel, BICMA had directed him to the culture department as it was t... More About: Indian , Show , Indian Idol

Well, hello Bolly, it's so nice ?
2008-04-30 04:25:00 BOLLYWOOD star Sonu Nigam is talking from a mobile phone at an airport in Kolkata, India. The airport is noisy, the phone line is bad, and Nigam, 34, is about to board a plane. He sounds a little harried but genuinely apologetic, explaining that he has eight shows in as many cities in India over the next week, before flying to Australia. The singer is travelling with his wife and his eight-month-old son, whose arrival in the world brought Nigam endless joy ? and, he admits, further complications to his touring schedule. "Of course, we have to compromise in certain situations," says Nigam. "But wherever possible, I take my family with me. Right now I have my mother, my wife and my child here, even though it's a long journey. While I'm talking to you, I can see my son sitting in front of me, so I'm content." Family has always been important to Nigam. His parents were both popular singers in India. In fact, his father still sings, and will perform in Australia with Nigaam this weeke... More About: Nice

Indian Idol returns to hills, holding Morcha hand
2008-04-14 06:35:00 Darjeeling, April 13: Indian Idol Prashant Tamang today performed in front of his adoring home fans, for the first time after winning the television reality show, at a programme organised by a Gorkha Janmukti Morcha-affiliated association.Last year, the Morcha was born after its president Bimal Gurung cashed in on the strong anti-Subash Ghisingh sentiment that swept through the hills during the campaign launched to help Tamang win Indian Idol 3. The GNLF chief had refused to publicly back Tamang even as the entire Gorkha community put its collective might behind the singer from Darjeeling. [(From left) Karma Sherpa, Bimal Gurung and Prashant Tamang at Darjeeling?s Chowrastha on Sunday. Picture by Suman Tamang]Since then, the political turmoil in the hills has been one of the reasons why Tamang could not perform here, although he toured about half-a-dozen countries across the world.This morning, Tamang appeared happy to be back.?I wanted to come to Darjeeling after getting well (from...

Indian Idol?s first visit to hills
2008-04-09 12:35:00 www.telegraphindia.com Darjeeling, April 8: Prashant Tamang is finally coming to his hometown, the first time after winning the Indian Idol crown. Although his visit has not been publicised much, family sources confirmed that Tamang will land at the Bagdogra airport tomorrow afternoon. His itinerary has not been fixed as the family is discussing taking Tamang to Kalimpong ? his uncle resides at Tirpai ? for a break before he finally comes to his house in Toongsoong. Plans are, however, afoot to organise programmes in Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Kurseong during his short stay in the hills. ?Details of the programmes in Kurseong and Darjeeling on April 11 and 13 are being chalked out. He might also perform in Kalimpong on April 12,? said another source. Tamang, along with Karma Sherpa and Prakarti Giri (both of them have made it big in nationally televised music reality shows), will be felicitated by the Gorkha Janmukti All Gorkha Students?

It does not matter who is the winner
2008-03-25 16:34:00 The "better" will still outshine the mere "good". I have seen this on numerous occasions in my life and saw it yet again today. Only today, I couldn't resist from blogging about it.A random surf on YouTube today told me that Prashant Tamang, the winner of the Indian Idol 3 contest on TV has released his first ever album. What has surprised me the most is that there was not a single mention of this either on TV, radio, WorldSpace, the daily newspapers or on the Internet. Even if there was some tiny little heading hiding on page 7, it didn't grab my attention.On the other hand, the remaining 4 guys of the final 5 in the same competition have also launched a gang called "F4" (final four?). You would have been on another planet if you have not heard "Tu to na aayi" beaming all over the radio and television sets.The point is that it doesn't really matter who the formal winner is. It was widely believed that Prashant was climbing up the success ladder in each round because of the massi... More About: Matter , Winner
Indian Idol put Ghisingh out of tune?
2008-03-06 11:39:00 indiatimes.com 6 Mar 2008, 0228 hrs IST,Anand Soondas,TNN Prashant Tamang was four when Subash Ghisingh began his rule of the Darjeeling hills in 1988. Then, in the mountains just beginning to rage with foetal fires of rightful rebellion, the boy?s family, which toiled hard and remained poor, had no inkling that two decades on, he would be at the heart of the downfall of a man many called ?the region?s first and perhaps last dictator?. The GNLF strongman, who?s heading the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council for 20 years, quelling all dissent with Stalinist resolve ? would in all probability have ruled until his death had Prashant, now 24, the Indian Idol winner, not taken up singing. Strange as it may seem, almost illogical, Ghisingh?s ruin began the day he showed his back to the Nepali singer, who powered by desperate and nationalistic SMSing from Nepalese across India and the globe, went on from one round to the next. As Prashant, a Kolkata Police constable, reached the competition?s ... More About: Indian Idol , Tune

?Road to Gorkhaland will be democratic? - Bimal Gurung
2008-03-02 06:28:00 www.expressindia.com Sabyasachi BandopadhyaySaturday , March 01, 2008 Kolkata, February 29 Your movement began with the protest against remarks made by a radio jockey about the Gorkhas when Prashant Tamang won the Indian Idol contest. Does the Tamang episode have anything to do with your current agitation? You can say that the Tamang episode was the flashpoint. It made very clear how Gorkhas are viewed. It was so humiliating for us. It also showed that neither the Bengal government nor Subhas Ghisingh did anything for the development of the hills. Can you please elaborate it? What did the government do for setting up of new schools? How many new roads were constructed? look at the water situation there. It?s terrible. The government had announced a project worth Rs 40 crore for water supply, 15 years ago but it was never implemented. The ills have been simmering for long. And the Prashant Tamang episode stoked the fire there because it was so humiliating for us. What are your immed... More About: Democratic , Road

Tamang, the Nepali Indian Idol stood on the stage speaking to the audience in his native language. He was lit from behind by huge, blinding stage lights. And in front of me was a sea of very enthusiastic fans, many of them holding their camcorders. Attached to each camcorder was the view screen. Each view screen showed a mini version of what I could see on the stage — Tamang, on the stage with glowing lights behind him. A hugely talented singer with no ... More About: Moment

But unlike Prashant, Prakriti failed to grab enough votes from the audience which would have saved her from the elimination round.The elimination episode is yet to be telecast and will be aired this Friday. The episode was canned late last night.Although liked by the judges, Prakriti faced tough opponents in the form of Aishwarya from Ahmedabad and Anvesha Dutta from Kolkata. In all the voting episodes, Prakriti managed to secure enough votes to stay in the race. She also made a record of sorts by securing the highest number of votes in all the episodes. However, last ...
