Yashraj out of Indian Idol 5

In a shocking elimination this week, Yashraj Kapil is voted out of Indian Idol 5. Our source from the show says, “Yashraj is a mature singer and was consistent in his acts. In fact his co-contestants too were confident he will make it to the finals. Yashraj like Manisha Karmakar who was eliminated last week was Anu’s favourite. Anu always backed his performances and was surprised to see him out.” Yashraj had won a reality show called Sitaron Ko Choona Hai which aired on Real TV, so he was hoping to reach at least in the top 3 this time on Idol. There was no celebrity guest this week and Hussain is back to host the show. Abhishek Bachchan was supposed to appear in the show to promote his movie Raavan this week but he could not make it due to a date issue. Now, nine contestants will slug it out in the contest.
