Sajad Ali’s Criticism of Pakistan Idol Gets Mixed Reactions
Pakistan Idol is a popular Pakistani musical reality show that recently began airing on Geo TV, Green Entertainment, and PTV Home. Previously, Season 1 of Pakistan Idol premiered on Geo TV on 6 December 2013 and continued until 24 April 2014. The current season is judged by Fawad Khan, Zeb Bangash, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, and Bilal Maqsood.
The show has stirred quite a bit of controversy, with people questioning the judges’ credibility. Now, renowned Pakistani singer Sajjad Ali has also criticized Pakistan Idol for repeating certain songs during the auditions.
In a press talk, Sajjad Ali said, “You must have noticed that Pakistan Idol has been repeating a few songs, which has made things monotonous. They have obtained copyrights from only a few companies, due to which their song choices are limited. The rights to our songs are not with them. Everyone wants to sing Ravi and other songs that can showcase a singer’s range, but they cannot perform them because of copyright issues. They contacted us, but we couldn’t reach a good deal.”
