Pakistan Idol is a popular new musical reality show that has started airing on Geo TV, bringing the globally successful franchise back to Pakistan. The initial episodes are showcasing a nationwide talent hunt, judged by Fawad Khan, Zeb Bangash, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, and Bilal Maqsood. It is an officially licensed show from the American Idol franchise. Clips from the auditions are being widely shared on digital platforms.
Pakistani audiences are loving the show and the talent emerging through Pakistan Idol, but they are not satisfied with the judges. Many are saying that none of the judges, except Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, actually know how to sing. First, watch a few links:
Fans are questioning the singing skills of the judges, including Bilal Maqsood, Fawad Khan, and Zeb Bangash. One fan wrote, “It would have been a great combination if Atif Aslam, Abida Parveen, and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan were the judges here.” Another commented, “Can the judges sing in the same high notes without breaking the voice, like many of the contestants?” A third wrote, “What would be the credibility of the show if actors are the judges?” Another added, “Inexperienced judges are selecting the singers here.” Many said Chahat Fateh Ali Khan is also eligible for this seat.
