On 25th Sept, zonal round happened at 100% Rock in Delhi and participants from different parts of North India participated in this. All of these participants had come after qualifying few rounds in their own cities. It was a great event with awesome talent from India and it was really difficult to compare one contestant to other and I am sure that judges would have come across some challenges to pick folks for Final round at Mumbai on 6th October. Let's check out this Photo Journey and know more about the event, participants, some renowned judged & a great environment.
Me and my wife reached the venue at around 9:30pm when event was about to start. We met Ankur, who manages branding for McDowell and a great fellow. He took us to a section which was quite close to the main stage. As we went close to the table, we saw some familiar faces - out of which, we were able to recognize Chang & Shibani immideately. Main judges for the evening were - Meiyang Chаng, Shibani Kashyap, IshQ Bector, Aditya Jassi & Nandini Srikar.

Every contestant had a unique style of singing and most of them were super impressive. Everyone was coming up on the stage with new surprises. While listening to these brilliant artists, I was wondering why there is no TV show on Karaoke and I found these singers far more talented as compared to folks we see on TV. Especially looking at their
The place '100% Rock' was ok and somehow I didn't find it appropriate for such events. It was a zone level event. Probably that day it was looking inappropriate but there were some weird things which I would avoid to write down here.
In breaks, some of the folks from organizing team also performed and those were again amazing !!! It was great to see confidence of few folks who were singing flawlessly without even looking at the screen and they were every time in sync with music.
Performance by Udit Gaur was awesome. He had great entry on the stage and he was too much into the music while singing. He is a very good performer I would say !!
Mcdowell has also an android application for Karaoke lovers. McDowell’s No 1 Karaoke - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.telibrahma.Karaoke
