Episode 7: Jyotika is saved

Neeti had a friendly talk with Anandrupa about Rohit. Anandrupa's feelings for Rohit were getting very obvious and Neeti advised her to stop trying to hide it. Vidhan was still reeling after Daler said he was suspicious about his stuttering. Banjo and Ashutosh tried to calm him down, but the more they tried the more upset Vidhan got. Dean Palash called a meeting with the three participants in the Danger Zone to express his distress. He was particularly unhappy with Vidhan's performance. But Rohit wasn't spared either. The Dean said he needed to improve, fracture or no fracture. Jyotika had performed solidly and, hence, was not ticked off by the Dean. In the voting round, Dean Palash called everyone together and asked them to show whom they had voted for. Almost everyone had voted for Jyotika, which was not surprising. Anandrupa voted for Rohit, which, too, was not surprising. What was surprising and a bit sad was that nobody voted for Vidhan. Even Dean Palash expressed his regret about this fact. Vidhan lost his cool for a moment during the voting when his friend Banjo tried to justify his not voting for him. Dean Palash intervened and settled the matter.

Later on Vidhan patched up with Banjo, ending the episode on a hopeful note.

Episode 8: Fame X-ians win a night out

Vidhan, as a special concession, was allowed to call home and talk to his mother and father. His father encouraged him by saying he had already made them proud. His mother wished him lots of luck and asked him to stay strong. Dean Palash called Anandrupa into his office and asked her if the rumours about an affair between her and Rohit were true. Anandrupa denied it, saying they were just good friends. However, it was evident that they shared a special bond—she always took care of him during lunch and teased him while he practiced. Dean Palash surprised everyone by announcing that his band, Euphoria, was in the Academy and would join the students. The thrilled students were given a further surprise when they were told that they would get a chance to sing with the band. Dean Palash divided them into three groups and gave each group a song from his band, asking them to re-compose it any way they liked. The winner, he said, would get a night out! The first group—Ashutosh, Sammy, Vidhan, Arunima and Priyanka—got the famous song Mayeri. They changed it completely, yet kept the soul intact. The second group—Jyotika, Rakesh, Alok, Neeti and Banjo—got the song Sason me jo, meri baton me jo and sang it beautifully. The third group—Rohit, Anandrupa, Ritu, Aditya and Rehan—got the song Aage jane Ram kya hoga and gave a powerful rendering of the song. Dean Palash admired everyone's performance, but declared the first group as the winner. They won a dinner in one of Mumbai's popular restaurants, Aura, which they enjoyed thoroughly. Vice president of the Academy, Sowmya Rao, was in charge of the rehearsal session for Rohit and Vidhan. She was unhappy about Rohit's performance and told him so, but Rohit quickly improved and sang well. Vidhan was slightly nervous, but Sowmya's gentle encouragement helped him regain his confidence. Later the Fame X-ians played a game of Truth or Dare. Though a fun game, it could get pretty tricky at times. Neeti chose 'Dare' and was asked to kiss Rakesh on the cheeks as if she were admitting her love for him. She carried the task with aplomb. Sammy chose 'Truth' and Ritu asked him if he would prefer a love marriage or an arranged one. There was much cheering when Sammy chose the former. Arunima was given, perhaps, the most difficult task. She had to hold Rakesh's sweaty, smelly sneaker to her nose for a full minute. And she almost completed her task! Ritu showed her glamorous side when she had to sing seductively to Ashutosh. And Vidhan, upon much urging, finally agreed that among the girls, he liked Arunima the best. But the crme de la crme was Banjo's 'Dare'. He wore Arunima's clothes and danced to the tune of Patali kamar lachakake. It was a hilarious performance and as expected, was aided by whistles from the boys and uncontrollable laughter from the girls.

Lastly, various students appealed to the audience to vote for either Vidhan or Rohit.

The bigger, better and stylish version of Fame Gurukul. And this time it's on SAB.

Y oung is what defines today. Fame X is here to find the omnipotent talent, and the firepower with respect to music performance.

X is bold

X is on the face

X is raw

X is the attitude you wear

X is the head held up high even when the chips are down…

X is here to stay…

X is the X-Factor

The Concept

16 young and raring-to-go individuals will try and survive 13 weeks of tough competition in the university of music (Fame Academy) under the vigilance and tutelage of great music maestros and other professionals from different fraternities. Week on week whatever they've learnt will be tested and adjudged by our distinguished and powerful jury and of course, the nation. Every performance round will mark the ouster of one contestant, so the competition keeps getting tougher at every stage of the show. At the end the best performing contestant shall be crowned the winner of the FAME X.

The Reality

Fame X is more than just singing…it's life… and in life what does it take more to win a competition…Fame X is a search, a hunt to find those contestants who have that X-factor in them…who will survive the test of time and breed only the spirit of winning. For these 16 contestants, it's dog eat dog…since the stakes are very high…Fame X will unleash conflict…that conflict which will thrive on competition and the contestant's need to win…

The New Generation X

The soul of Fame X is music and the music will reflect the X factor. Fame X will explore all genres of music.( Pop, Rock, Remix, Bollywood, Punjabi, Disco, Hip-Hop, the regional flavor et al)

Journey of the X-Factor

After auditioning over 10,000 aspirants across the country, Fame X is all set to rock the nation with the 16 talented aspirants set to showcase their singing talent coupled with X factor.It has been a month long exhaustive journey for the Dean Palash Sen & Fame Kudi Sophie Chowdry to audition the best of the talents across the nation. After the auditions in Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Delhi, Kolkata & Mumbai Palash Sen selected 200 aspirants finally reducing the number to 64 finalists. The journey to Fame is full of surprises & the contestants at every step had to showcase their talent, drive & their X factor to make it to the next level!!!The 64 finalists had to face rigorous schedule at a two day workshop. The contestants went through training sessions with Dean Palash Sen & vocal coach Sowmya Raoh.

Second day of the workshop saw Ganesh Hegde troupe train the contestants. Finally 16 finalists who exhibited talent & X factor were short listed to be a part of the Fame X Academy.

Reality in store

The coming weeks will take you on a roller coaster ride with all the excitement and frenzy reaching soaring heights. The show will take you on a higher level entertainment platform with grand sets, startling costumes and impressive performances by the 16 finalists. The 16 contestants will live together at the prestigious 'Fame X Academy 'where their raw talent will be tested to it's core by industry experts, who train them vocally. They will also get to meet and perform alongside some of the music industry's biggest stars who also mentor the contestants. Meanwhile cameras follow the students' every move, 24/7. You all get to see their talents blossom and the drama of their personal relationships unfold as every week passes by.

Fame X Show Format

Each week will showcase individual contestants perform live and the judges will nominate four contestants for eviction in the DANGER ZONE. In the moment of high drama, every Monday, one out of those four contestants will be saved by the Faculty & three still remain in the danger zone. But the drama doesn't end here… In a highly charged moment on every Tuesday, the fellow aspirants too get a chance to vote on which one amongst the final three should remain in the academy while two still remain in the danger zone. The competition gets fierce as the fellow contestants vote against each other to save themselves & that leads to greater, behind-the-scenes drama, as the contestant could go back to live at the academy with some of his fellow contestants who have voted him out. Every Wednesday, you get to watch the reality episodes, behind the scenes drama, training sessions at the Fame Academy…basis which you will vote for your favourite contestant. The voting lines close on Thursdays and the entire nation's verdict is announced wherein one out of the two nominated contestants gets evicted.

So let's see who's X-factor wins…

Faculty

Palash Sen

Jack of all trades and a master too, that is Palash Sen for you. He is a man of varied interests and talents -- a practicing doctor who sings with a rock group in his spare time and has even acted in his debut film: Filhaal

From medicine to singing to dancing around trees, He has had pretty big career changes...

Right from the start there was little doubt as to his chosen profession of being a doctor. The doubt started creeping in when his secret admiration for Elvis dragged him to Celluloid Street and he became interested in theatre and music. Somewhere down the line music overtook theatre and Euphoria was born in 1989.

Euphoria calls its music Hind rock; their first album is named Dhoom, followed by Phir Dhoom, Mantra and Gulley - a hindi word that means street. Their newest album " Mehfuz" was released in 2006 . With his drive and ambition, he donned the mantle of the band leader.

Dean of ' Fame X' : This sensational singer of rock band Euphoria is the Dean of the 'Fame Academy' . With his talent & knowledge, he is the perfect mentor to guide the contestants in their battle for becoming the Fame Winner. He's a hard task-master when it comes to training but is also a friend, philosopher and guide for the 16 finalists that he has chosen from across the nation. The Dean will make certain all his favourite contestants graduate from the academy with flying colors and create a mark in the music fraternity.

In his new avtaar as a dean, Palash will closely follow the training and tutoring of the contestants by the Faculty members. It is the Dean's responsibility to ensure that the contestants learn various aspects of voice throw, dance, music, presentation and performance.

Palash Quotes ""I will be training the contestants on various aspects from singing to performance, dancing, physical fitness and also facing the media. But in the end, I can only show them the door, they are the ones who have to walk through it"

Sowmya Rao

Sowmya Rao is our young, charming, and electrifying performer. With over 200 songs for films in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu and Tamil, Sowmya Rao doesn't have to prove her mettle as a playback singer.

After a set career in films down south, Sowmya moved on to Mumbai on the insistence of composer Sandeep Chowta to pursue playback for Bollywood. She lent her voice for films like Jungle, Pyar Tune Kya Kiya (Roundhe) et al.

Having sung for composers like Ilayaraja, Sandeep Chowta, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Sajid-Wajid, Leslie Lewis and Anand-Milind, and with many more ambitious projects lined up, Sowmya Rao is all set to add the X factor to the Fame Academy!!!

Role in Fame X: Sowmya Rao has the voice that millions will die for & has been associated with the biggest singers & composers of the Indian music Industry. She will be the vocal coach at Fame Academy. With her immense knowledge of music she is the apt person to train & help the 16 aspirants to improve their tonal quality & pitch.

In today's caf round, Fame Kudi Sophie Choudhry introduced the two Danger Zone contestants, Rohit and Vidhaan. The buzz, she said, was not from any coffee vending machine, but from the competition.

Sophie mentioned how Vidhaan had been depressed the last time because of Daler's remarks. She said Daler had clarified that Vidhaan would have to grow a thick skin because he could encounter similar situations in the future. Vidhaan, brimming with confidence, replied that he did not resent anybody.

Ganesh told Rohit, whose problem was over-confidence, to enjoy the performance. He observed that Rohit, in trying to prove a point, was losing the essence of a good performance, which was taking pleasure in what one was doing. Rohit assured him that he would do so from now. Among the contestants, Ashutosh and Sammy said they respected Rohit as a singer.

During the performance, for the first time in the contest, Vidhaan seemed extremely confident and comfortable on stage. He sang Yun to odhale chunariya with such gusto that, at the end of his performance, Dean Palash got up from his seat, went up on stage and gave him a hug. Daler compared him to Sonu Niigaam, one of the finest singers in the industry today. Ganesh made a pun on Vidhaan's favourite phrase sahi hai, saying, "Sahi hai to dahi hai or na bhi ho to dudh to hai hi!"

Special mention was made of Neeti who had choreographed Vidhaan's steps on stage.

Rohit still had his leg in a cast, but he concentrated on his singing and sang Suraj hua madhdham. A sensual song, Rohit got the emotions so correctly that Ganesh couldn't help saying that he was not just happy… but VERY happy about the performance. Daler still voiced some doubt about the limp, but quickly clarified that he was just pulling Rohit's leg. (Pun intended!)

Then it was time for a one-on-one round called 'Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahi'. This was a jugalbandi round in which Vidhaan and Rohit, along with some of the students teased each other with their versions of famous songs. Rohit's Kurta ye jaali vala was answered by Vidhaan's Ai meri joharajabin. Rohit sang Tu hi meri sab hai to Anandrupa followed by Vidhaan teasing them with Kala kauwa kaat khayega.

'Mentos—Dimag Ki Batti Jala De' was a round of fun questions. Ganesh asked Vidhaan what he would do if he snuck into a theatre to catch a show and found Dean Palash in the next seat. Vidhaan immediately said his signature line: "Ye sahi hai, Sir, ye sahi hai!"

Daler asked Rohit what he would do if just before a show he lost his voice. Rohit replied that he would get a readymade track and lip-sync.

Dalerji sang an encouraging verse in his inimitable style wishing the participants all the luck.

Vidhaan appealed to the voters to vote for him using endearing words, while Rohit asked them to vote for him because of his talent.

India will decide now if Rohit's talent will give him a second chance or whether sympathy for Vidhaan will be a deciding factor in Thursday's elimination round.

Episode 10: Ye sahi hai, yaar!

For tonight's eviction round, Ganesh was not present. But the funny man Cyrus Broacha filled the MTV seat. When the contestants were asked who they would vote for, they were divided in their opinion. Aditya voted for Vidhaan while Sammy voted for Rohit. Anandrupa's vote was a no-brainer. Rohit was shown a video clip that featured his parents and younger sister. Listening to them express their feelings was an emotional moment for Rohit. Vidhaan's little sister was brought to the sets by the Fame Academy to cheer him on. Daler mentioned that whoever was better should win. But he seemed a little partial towards Vidhaan for his jump back into the contest. Sophie joked about Rohit's belief that his red underwear would help him in succeeding and Vidhaan's fascination with the colour blue. On a serious note, Dean Palash said that to change one's personality was the most difficult thing to do and that it was a feat that both the Danger Zone contestants had achieved—Vidhaan by getting over his emotional problem and Rohit by making himself more friendly. He also said that he believed the people of India would choose the right person. If they can choose the Prime Minister, he said, they certainly can choose a better singer.

Suspense was building fast when Sophie revealed that people of India, with an overwhelming majority, had chosen Vidhaan to be in the Academy. That meant Rohit was out of the contest and Vidhaan would get a second shot to be the Fame X champion.

All's not balle balle with Daler

The pop star had an on-screen tiff with fellow musician Palash Sen

DEEPALI DHINGRA Times News Network

Daler Mehndi recently had an on-screen fracas with Palash Sen on reality show Fame X on Set Max. When BT asked Daler about his tussle with Palash, he said, "Palash is the dean of the show. He's selected all the participants. So he feels hurt when any of the judges say something bad about the participants." Daler is one of the judges on the show. So is there a full-fledged fight on between the two? Daler denies it: "There's no fight at all. He's emotionally attached to those kids and feels for each one of them. He has worked a lot to get these kids here and I would have felt the same if I was in his place."
