Are You Bathroom Singer ?

"Bhai tu mat ga. Talab me se bhenshe bhaag jayegi" .

Every aspiring singer must have received this comment from friends or family members. Filmy TV has Come out with musical Reality show "Bathroom Singer" to join the bandwagon. The show is for untrained singers who call themselves "Bathroom Singers".

Filmy tv has signed Gaurav Gera ( Nandu of Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi ) as a host for this musical reality show. Ravikishan ( Top Bhojpuri Actor , One of the participants of Bigboss ) & Shibani Kashap ( Singer - Composer) will judge the singers on the show.

Audition Dates :-
Ahmedabad :- 24th July at Rajpath club , SG road. From 9 a.m onwards
Kolkata :- 1st august , at Bhavanipur College. Elgin ROad.
Delhi :- 28th July at Dr Ambedkar Bhavan , Rani Jhanzi Road,
Bombay :- 5th august Goregaon Sports Complex , Malad.

The good thing about the show is its Original Concept. I always thought that there should be some show for untrained singers. Many time in shows like Saregama or Indian a untrained but good singer looses because he or she does not taken any training in classical or western music.

Kishore Kumar , the legend was not a trained singer. KK (tadap tadap fame) is not a trained singer. I really liked the concept. It will be interesting to see that if Filmy Tv gets success with this show. All the best to every one who is going for audition.
