    UNNECESSARY MAUSAM BADALTA REHTA HAI

    It's true that that this show is filled with talented singers but what disappoints me is that the judges are not even pin pointing the contestant's singing if they are falling shot of something. Don't be harsh but at least tell them in a way that doesnt sound rude . Frankly speaking I am not a singer but as an audience I can really understand where the singer has fall shot . Look at how Sonu Nigam & Anu Malik used to pin point some mistakes in contestant's singing in older seasons but now these things don't tend to happen .

    Unnecessary MAUSAM BADALTA REHTA HAI unn singers ke liye jinhone Gaana thik tarah nahi Gaya ho . This becomes annoying 😠

    Most Cringed show ever!

    It would have been better they've thrown out Neha out of the show. She's just popular that's why she is there,and not because she learnt music and knows what actually music is. Monali Thakur or Shreya Ghoshal could've been the best judge for any singing shows. Any many talented singer were eliminated just on the basis of votes. That's not even fair. The voting should be till last episode and than let the public decide who is the winner amongst the top 15 or 20.

    TRP lovers... nothing else

    Talented singers but show just ruin their talent....Each episode of Indian Idol is of more than 1 hour and 2-3 singer sings for less than 2 min. So, you can think what happens in whole episode. Judges judge less but do overdrama more(that so called 'Mausam Badal Diya'). And so much drama by dramaqueen(Neha Kakkar) and my favourite (Pawandeep) is also now looking overdisplayed by judges. And their so called story of singers. Many singers' story is seriously fake. And displaying them poor, lachaar and mazboor just to attract viewers needs to be protested.. These so called judges never seem to be singing in the singing show.. They never show vote statistics, just declare... Atlast I would say In gaining TRP they failed this season and will severely fail if they will not change this fake reality show... Singing show hai to gaane gao aadhe ghante mein khatam karo agar nahi gaa paa rahe ho 2 min se jyada seriously...

    Such a scripted show

    All scripted, judges are just puppets and they do overacting. All the contestants were already part of previous talent shows. Most of them were part of voice of india show. Such a fake and scripted show. All TRP game.

    Overdramatic Reality Show

    First of all not sure why Judges are there?...there comments are repetitive...biased...and overdramatic...if contestants are singing 100 percent perfect...why don't you end the show...and declare all winners... Production house main expenditure is Tissue Paper...for their crocodile tears...just for camera.. Third class show...
