Get Ready for Pakistan Idol

The love you bring won’t mean a thing unless you sing."
These words by Francis Healy ring true when one thinks of Pakistan Idol, the show that will bring music talent of Pakistan from the far flung villages, cities, towns and pit them against each other in the biggest music fest to ever hit Pakistan. What Music ’89 and Battle of the Bands began in Pakistan is about to be amplified to the max!

The ‘Idol’ format most of us know of because of American and Indian Idol is now all set to unravel in Pakistan in the coming months. Geo TV (in association with Fremantle Media), have bought the rights to the format and are bringing it to Pakistan! We’re set to create history in this land of the pure where music has been the most consistent form of entertainment for Pakistanis for almost two decades now.

Pakistan Idol will bring forward raw talent that Pakistan has in abundance. Idol has not just created musical icons, it has created success stories. Indian Idol has struggled because there is Voice of India and Sa Re Ga Ma Pa airing on other channels and the audience is divided. One is confident that Pakistan Idol will be different. We have no counter shows as massive as Idol yet.
