Idea Star Singer On Asianet

Idea Star Singer on Asianet is one of the top reality shows in Malayalam Television today. It has just finished the Semi Final Rounds today. There were 7 contestants in the Semi Finals.

After the four Rounds Challenge Round (CR), Romance Round (RR), Shruthi Round (SR), and Malayalam Dance Hits Round(MDH), Najim Arshad entered the Finals directly because he scored the highest total in the Semi Finals. All other six contestants are in the Danger Zone. Their entry into the Semi finals depends on the SMS viewers send and also many other criteria we people may never know.

The other contestants are Durga Viswanath, Vani Jayaram, Amrutha Suresh, Arun Gopan, Hesham Abdul Wahab and Thushar. Their marks in the semi finals are as follows:

CR RR SR MDH
1. Hesham - 68 + 74 + 73 + 74 = 289
2. Durga - 74 + 79 + 89 + 74 = 316
3. Amrutha - 89 + 69 + 70 + 74 = 302
4. Vani Jayaram - 61 + 73 + 73 + 71 = 278
5. Najim - 89 + 90 + 87 + 80 = 346
6. Thushar - 71 + 67 + 74 + 74 = 286
7. Arun Gopan - 67 + 78 + 74 + 72 = 291

Ranks after 12th Round:
1 - Najim[346]
2 - Durga[316]
3 - Amrutha[302]
4 - Arun Gopan[291]
5 - Hesham[289]
6 - Thushar[286]
7 - Vani[278]

Because of the low marks, Vani has a chance to go out during the elimination round before the finals. But we cannot say as Idea Star Singer has the history of retaining the contestants with the lowest marks because of the huge number of SMS.

Still Thushar also may go out this time. He escaped in a very narrow manner last two times. So this time he may not escape.

Najim Arshad is the most favorite candidate for the 40 lakh flat sponsored by Confident Group. Durga also has a good chance to win. She and Arun Gopan has got the opportunity to sing in the Music Director Sri. M.S.Viswanathan's next film. Durga has got a very good modulation of sound.
Arun Gopan and Hesham has got real good voice. Amrutha Suresh is equally competent.
