AIZOL TIMES –
Aizawl Aug 26: Cable TV provider Zonet Vision’s Mizo Idol Contest is nearing its conclusion after several weeks of selections with the final group of 12 contestants selected last night.
On Thursday and Friday nights, the top 20 finalists vied for the top ten positions which were announced last night by the cable provider in a live show where surprisingly 12 made it to the top ten list because three of the contestants had received the same points from the three judges of the contest.
Appreciated by music lovers of nearly all age brackets by the music loving Mizo community, the show had drawn some flaks because of the blunt remarks made by the judges in regard to the performances of the contestants some of whom were praised and others criticized without mincing words. What came as a surprise was that the contestants did not seem to mind being told the truth though some viewers were of the opinion that the Mizo society is not yet ready such frank remarks.
Zonet Vision, which is the youngest of the state capital’s cable TV provider, attracted a lot of subscribers because of the Idol show and according to some reports, about two thousand new subscriptions were received by Zonet although the officials of this cable TV provider has remained tightlipped about this. There, however, cannot be any doubt that Zonet has benefited immensely from the show.
Apart from the show, appreciation that is being shown for Zonet is by professionals in the media business who have praised Zonet for its professionalism. This may be because the cable provider is co-owned by four people from the media. It even has a news bulletin in English given each night except Sunday night at 8:30 pm.
The next show will start again on August 31st night to allow some time for the contestants to practice their songs with the band that Zonet has provided. Apart from the first night where three contestants will be eliminated to bring the reaming contestants down to nine, each show after this will see one contestant eliminated until there is only one left who will become the Mizo Idol in music.
Based and conceptualized on the famous American Idol line, Zonet’s Mizo Idol is completely different from LPS Vision’s Youth icon show of last year. Although the Icon show also received great appreciation, Zonet’s Idol seemed to have received better appreciation because of the professionalism.
Zonet’s Idol contest is sponsored by the Environment & Forests Department’s Forests Development Agency.
