There was lots of Drama and Tension in the Auditions seen yesterday in the Dream City Mumbai and in Dubai. In Mumbai, we saw the Manipuri Mahibum getting selected while high drama unfolded as Nirmalai was escorted out of the judges room. Anu Malek found the “Real Gem” of Season 2 while the cricketer cum singer had to find solace in “Cricket”, according to Javed Saab.

Dubai saw Jenia being rejected as she could not sing in Hindi while the judges decision was divided when it came to Pooja. The judges were thrilled with the way Prashant sang and he got a green chit, Rashmi was also not far behind as she won the Best Talent praise from the judges.

Now the High Voltage Action moved from Mumbai to Bhopal from where we bring you a Preview on the Contestants.

Arun Kumar was the first Contestant of the day, followed by Amit Chauhan and Ashok Singh. Did Lady Luck favour Ashok and Amit on the D-day?

Hear Anu Malek use the Sher for a contestant – “Humari Mehfil Mein Aaye The , Itna Toh Kaam Kar Lete, Humari Kaano Ko Sur Ki Aadat Hai Aur Ko Toh Salaam Kar Lete”.

The Judges decision is the Final Decision , but one contestant gave an open challenge to Anu Malek that one day, he would become a good singer and Anu Malek would compose a song for him… So who is this contestant who dared to challenge Anu Malek?

We revisited Record Books as the Tallest guy in Bhopal , 71/2 ft, came for the Auditions. Makes one ponder if he will reach the pinnacle of success in II3, just like his height.

As the auditions happened, one of the contestant came to the Judges Room with a “Jhimar Rock” .Now wondering what it is – Well, Jhimar is a place in MP, the contestant was rocking as he sang his song!!!!! Can he set the stage rocking or is he better off confined it to Jhimar ?

Did the two fabulous singers Diksha Mishra and Abhijeet Kumar make it to the Theatre Round ? Or was disappointment in store for them?

So who got selected for the Theatre Round in Mumbai after this scintillating Audition held in Bhopal? Watch Indian Idol Bhopal Audition Special on 12^th May to find out whether Bhopal could manage to set a record for the highest number of singers selected from one state to make it to the Theatre Round…. Right from the Debate of the evening “Are Women better singers than Men?” to the contestant Sumit Gosain striving to steal Alisha’s heart by singing the song “Made In India” in Heavy Metal to finding out the ultimate goal of the inseperable sisters Ghazala and Yasmin , this episode of II packs a veritable punch.

This draws down the Curtains for this week’s Auditions in the 3rd Season of Indian Idol . We will be back next week with more Previews of II3 Auditions only on India Forums Telly Buzz.
