In every game there is a winner and a loser. So is the case in the Indian Idol musical extravagant show where two titans Amit Paul and Prashant Tamang fought for the crown. And after stiff competition between the fans of the two, at last the Darjeeling boy clinched victory and won the Indian Idol title.

Prashant Tamang is the third Indian Idol who was coveted with the title. The first Indian Idol was Abhijeet Sawant. It is reported that in the history of Indian reality television the volume of the total votes that the Indian Idol III procured is a record in itself. According to the reports, 7 crore votes it garnered, which comes as an eye-opener about the popularity of the show and the mass appeal of the final contestants.

Now when the Indian Idol III has come to its end. The show will be remembered for its outstanding performances of the contestants. All the contestants were at par against each other. They were from different background and regions of India. If there was Amit Paul from Shillong, there was Prashant Tamang from Darjeeling; and not to mention Emon from Kolkata, Ankita Mishra from Kanpur, Meiyang Chang from Dhanbad, Parleen Singh Gill from Jammu.

Those who were closely watching the show from the beginning knows it was unexpected that Prashant would reach to this stage and will steal the show. Prashant's path to success isn't simple as it seems. It is very unnatural a policeman would try for a competition. But he tried and went through all the tests that all participants underwent.

The West Bengal Police Department must be appreciated that they allowed him to participate in this musical extravaganza. Now,when he has brought glory to the police force and West Bengal police in particular, the personnel employed in the forces might think of their unexplored and latent talent.

It is worth mentioning, the runner up of the show Amit Paul was not lesser talented than Prashant Tamang. He has got everything that a contestants wants; moreover he was bestowed more than that. He swayed the whole nation by his singing talent. But in the game of electronic SMS votes and call, all that matter is the volume.

Now when the game is over, here comes the testing times of both the singers Amit Paul and Prashant Tamang to prove their mettle that also in the real world where there is no winners and runner-ups. Let us hope they will be able to make a space in the musical world of India.
