TOI: Everyone wants to be in Sonu's team-Amit

Amit Jadhav explains how he was better than Sajda Sisters, why everyone wants to be in Sonu Nigam's team and how the show 'X Factor' lost focus in between.

Amit Jadhav who got eliminated from X Factor this week says that while he respects the judge's decision, he believes he performed better than Sajda Sisters in the face-off round. "I never missed any rhythm and my sur never went up and down. Sajda Sisters missed the rhythm in the opening lines itself. Also I guess the time duration of telecast worked against me. They always used to show my mukhda and my antra was frequently edited out, so the audience never got to see my complete act".

Amit claims that he is a solid dancer other than being a good singer and that essentially is his X Factor. "That's the reason I believed X Factor is the correct show for me because it gave me a chance to show my full talent. When you sing and dance simultaneously, it is very important to have a control on your breathing". But this multi-talent, in a way, acted against him. "The judges always expected me to dance in my performance. When I didn't dance in a song like zara si dil mein de jagah tu , they felt I didn't give my best. I don't think it's necessary to dance in every performance. In that case, why do the judges have good things to say about contestants who never dance and simply sing standing at one place?", grumbles Amit.

Talking about the show X Factor, Amit says, "I felt X Factor was different from all other reality shows because it focused on the entire performance and not merely singing. It started off with that idea but, somewhere in between, the focus shifted merely towards normal singing and it was never about the complete presentation. By the time it came back on track, it was too late for me".

While he has no complains being a part of Shreya Ghoshal's team, he adds in the same breath, "Not just me, if you ask anyone, they would all want Sonu Nigam as their mentor because he is the God of Music. Why just contestants, even Shreya Ghoshal says Sonu Nigam was her mentor."

Ask him who's the best performer on X Factor presently and he says, "Everyone thinks its Seema Jha but I think Deewana Group has it in them to win the title. No doubt Seema is a very good singer but Deewana Group performs as efficiently as they sing. And X Factor is not merely about singing but the complete performance".

The singer who has also been part of other reality shows like Fame Gurukul earlier says, "I have realized that you should never take elimination to your heart. The outside world is much different where you will have to make it on your own. Just look at me, I have been doing better than any other contestant on Fame Gurukul".

Other than singing and dancing, Amit is also confident about his acting abilities. "I was playing the main lead in a film called Teenager but for some reason it got shelved. If I get another chance, I will combine all my three talents together and try to be a complete performer and a versatile artist. I showed what I wanted to show on X Factor. I hope people notice me".

Other than that, Amit also wants to come up with a music album. "Also I would like to continue doing concerts around the world where I will have my own concepts like Michael Jackson had. Even if I am able to achieve 20% of what Michael Jackson did, I would consider myself successful", signs off the confident singer.
