"The
12-hour
Greatest
Finale
of
Indian
Idol
12
is
a
testament
to
celebrating
music
in
the
most
entertaining
manner.
I
have
had
a
wonderful
stint
as
a
judge
on
this
show,
and
it
makes
me
very
proud
to
see
the
level
of
talent
and
the
preparedness
that
they
come
with
on
a
reality
show.
It's
a
tough
choice
between
the
Top
6
finalists
and
I
can't
wait
to
see
who
finally
lifts
the
trophy
this
season.
I
am
confident
the
contestants
will
get
a
lot
of
work
in
the
industry
or
make
their
mark
independently
in
the
future."
Anu
Malik
said,
"Over
the
years,
I
have
seen
not
just
Indian
Idol
grow
in
its
scale
and
reach,
but
also
witnessed
how
the
singing
quality,
the
presentation
and
confidence
of
contestants
has
improved
season
after
season.
Every
year,
Sony
Entertainment
Television
gives
us
hope
for
a
brighter
future
for
Indian
music,
and
I
am
looking
forward
to
watching
these
wonderful
singers
bloom
in
the
industry.
I
think
a
12-hour
Finale
is
a
befitting
culmination
to
the
season
and
I
look
forward
to
being
a
part
of
it."
Sonu
Kakkar
said,
"I
have
been
a
contestant
myself
on
a
reality
show
in
my
early
days
and
I
can
relate
to
the
struggle
and
the
anticipation
that
comes
with
it.
Watching
some
of
the
contestants
standing
strong
through
their
tough
life
yet
aiming
to
fulfil
their
singing
dreams
from
such
close
quarters,
has
been
most
heart-warming
for
me.
They
are
all
stars
in
their
own
right
already
and
I
am
sure
the
music
industry
and
music
lovers
will
shower
them
with
love
beyond
the
show.
The
Greatest
Finale
Ever,
stands
true
to
its
name
and
this
12-hour
musical
marathon
is
not
just
a
celebration
of
music
but
also
a
celebration
of
talent
that
comes
on
this
platform."
