The finales of Indian Idol Junior's both seasons were good. The first season had two male (Anmol and Nirvesh) and two female finalists (Debanjana and Anjana) with a female winner (Anjana), and the second season had one male (Vaishnav) and three female finalists (Nahid, Nityashree, Ananya) with a female winner (Ananya).
I've noticed that there is a certain bias towards male singers in the adult version of Indian Idol. In season 10, Krishnakali and Renu were eliminated before Vibhor and Kunal. In season 11, the top 6 were all males until two wild-card entries happened. I was watching an episode of S11 where the S10 contestants returned and before Maniesh introduced the two wild-card entries, it was all boys on both sides except Neelanjana. I can't even find the show enjoyable without enough female singers.
