Karan Johar after hosting 'Koffee With Karan' and judging many reality shows, first time geared up for a singing reality show says, "It's my first singing show. I can't sing at all. I have zero knowledge about singing but I do understand Hindustani music, Bollywood music. For judging the show we have Shekhar Ravjiani, Shalmali Kholgade, Badshah to look at the technicalities. I will look for the X factor in a person."
"I have seen the talent (contestants) on the show, I must say they are amazing. My mind was blown away when I saw people from abroad singing Indian songs. I was impressed," he added
Karan also reveals, "There was a talent parade in my school. I was eight years old and I used to understand music, Sur, but my mother had told me that I should either recite a poem or give a speech but don't sing. I thought singing English song will be good idea but I was asked to leave. I have knowledge of music but I can't sing."
Being fan of late Mohammed Rafi said, "I like all Mohammed Rafi songs, there is melody, romance, sweetness and sadness. I like Asha Bhosale's rendition of 'Lag Jaa Gale', it's my most favourite song, I listen to it all the time."
"I hope people will sing songs from the past. Right from 40s to 70s the music was phenomenal. We had Madan Mohan, S D Burman, R D Burman, Shankar Jaikishen...we had amazing people. I don't think we can compete with those melodies. I hope contestants will take us down memory lane." "I am judging for six years, I can do PhD in judging," he said at last in jokingly manner.
