Did anyone follow this show? I normally don't see these so-called reality shows as they're scripted but this boy has this uncanny similarity with Nusrat sahab's voice...

With that voice, he will remain one trick pony. Only suitable for qawwalis.

Yeah, thats why I'm surprised he won this show as normally they promote all rounders in this show.

Still, he imitates Nusrat saheb quite well. Loved his rendition of his songs.

Nusrat certainly wansn’t one trick pony. So if this guy can sing like him he must be very talented.

One trick pony might be the wrong choice of words and an insult to Nusrat Sahab. This guy is certainly talented but his voice suits one particular type of genre- Sufi, not the commercial playback singing which unfortunately is more popular and generate more $$$.

I have been following this show and read somewhere that he lied to gain sympathy like many others in these type of reality shows about being boot-polisher and that he never had any training in Music. He used to listen to Nusrat Sahab and started singing. Which is hard to believe.

Ok, I haven’t heard music for ages, and have not heard this guy at all. I just said he must be talented if he can sing like Ustad Nusrat, even if it’s one spesific type of music.

one-trick pony
noun
a person or thing with only one special feature, talent, or area of expertise.

So now one has to show obeisance to entertainers lest it be seen as an insult. fascism.

Oh man... I know what one trick pony means. What i meant was some words don’t sound nice in some situations. There are better words to describe same thing.
 
I think indian shows overdramatize struggle stories that’s why I don’t like it at all
 
He's a brilliant singer and destined for stardom.

He sang some Nusrat stuff brilliantly.

Amazing voice and what a wonderful story he is.
 
My mother praised him a lot so heard him for Indian Idol standards he is really good, esp the pauses.

Makes a change to the likes of sonu nigam and Tony kakkar
 
Celebrating galore, the Top 15 contestants of singing reality show, ‘Indian Idol - Season 13’ will celebrating the ‘Golden Era Challenge’ in the presence of legendary music composers Anand Ji and his wife Shanta Ben Shah on Saturday and Pyarelal Ji and his wife Sunila Pyarelal Sharma on Sunday. Not only this, the Top 15 contestants will yet again give their best performances and impress the judges – Himesh Reshammiya, Neha Kakkar and Vishal Dadlani.

Adding spark to his performance, contestant Rishi Singh from Ayodhya who has always left a mark with his spell-bounding performances will yet again mesmerize one and all as he sings ‘Tumko Mere Dil Ne’ and ‘Neele Neele Ambar’ with his fellow contestant Bidipta Chakroborty from Kolkata. Giving a stellar performance, Anand Ji compliments the duo by saying, "Excellent! Both of you sang exceptionally well! 'Dil Khush hogaya', Rishi, I want you to sing the song 'Neele Neele Amber Par' in your version . I want you to record this song, I am sure this song will be on the top list." Hearing such mighty praises from Anand Ji, Rishi was definitely on cloud 9.

Not only this, making his day more special, host Aditya Narayan will talk about how Rishi has won the heart of the nation with his exceptional talent but, there is one very special fan who has seen and heard all of Rishi’s performances. It is then revealed that the fan is none other than ace cricketer and former Indian skipper Virat Kolhi. The cricketer, who has followed only 255 members on his social media, with Rishi being one of them, personally sent him a message praising Rishi.

Virat shared a message on Rishi’s social media saying, “Hi Rishi, How are you? I’ve seen your videos recently and You’re amazing. I love your singing. All the best and God bless you. Keep growing. God is with you.”

Talking about this moment Rishi shares, “I have no words, really. It is a pleasure to have such a huge personality send me words of motivation and this will forever be a memory I will keep with me. These things don’t happen all the time and I feel blessed.”
