Idea Star Singer 2007 returned in an even bigger and better format, anchored by Ranjini Haridas, a former Miss Kerala. The prize was an opportunity to sing in the next project by film director Vinayan, and an apartment in Cochin worth Rs 40,00,000. The judging panel featured playback singer M. G. Sreekumar, music director Sharath, and the renowned Indi pop singer Usha Uthup. The fourth judging spot featured a celebrity guest who has an importance in malayalam film industry. The 2007 talent hunt was inaugurated by Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, and more than 20,000 hopeful singers applied to participate in this edition of the show. Only 45 singers were short-listed from the 100 contestants in the preliminary round, followed by an elimination round on TV via SMS and the decision of the judges. Singers were given special grooming and choreography sessions, and the competition was cut to 10 contestants, and then again to the four best participants, each vying to bag the Top Singer title.

After the final was held on 19 April 2008, Najim Arshad from Thiruvanathapuram won the competition and bagged the brand new flat from Confident Group.

Singing School

Some people have the misconception that a singing school produces great singers as if it was an assembly line of talent. A singing school (as it is with any school meant to hone a craft or art) exists to provide its students opportunities to enhance their skills in singing and in performing.

The level of innate talent differs from each student. It isn’t the job of the school to segregate “average” singers from the great ones. Its job is to develop each student’s skills to the best of his or her capability and, most of all, passion for singing.

What kind of musical styles are taught in singing schools?
Before, only classical music was taught in a formal setting. Nowadays the range spans across the board. From the blues to pop, from country to world music – almost all musical styles are covered so the student has a greater understanding of diverse musical expressions.

The levels of expertise vary from novice to advanced but at every level, consistent exercise will be required.

Will it teach me to overcome stage fright and make me into a singing star?
Some singing schools specialize in public performance and to some extent will train its students to get over stage fright. But that is not the purpose of a singing school. While it can help you start your professional singing career, it won’t teach you how to be a star - that is all up to you as a performer.

What if I don’t want to be a performer, and I just want to sing for myself?
Going to a singing school doesn’t necessarily mean you intend to be an entertainer or recording artist. Just like a painting or sculpting class, sometimes the ultimate objective of its students is to simply master the art for its sake. And so it is with singing.

A singing school helps its students use their love for singing with vocal technique mastery to develop them into the best singers they can ever be.
