MUMBAI: Roobaroo is a lot of fun. The contestants have fun, Mini Mathur has fun at their expense and some guests go that extra mile to add to the fun quotient like Riteish Deshmukh, Ganesh Hegde and this time its music composer Leslie Lewis.. With only the top four contestants left in the fray, their frazzled nerves must have relaxed with all the music, dance and laughter all around.

Leslie Lewis of Colonial Cousins fame was pleasantly surprised to see the diverse talent of these the youngsters Emon Chatterjee, Amit Pal, Prashant Tamang and Ankita Mishra. Each one demonstrated a little known talent about them. So for the first time one saw Prashant play the guitar while singing a Nepali song. Amit strummed the guitar like a pro as he sang Chand mera dil? Emon played the piano and who can stop Ankita from dancing when the music is on? It was hilarious to see her traipsing with Prashant as she sang Pyar hua iqraar hua. Leslie made some pertinent observations about each of them and offered very useful tips for their future plans. With advice over, Leslie suggested that they all get together and have a music session and it all ended up with a rocking jam session with Mini joining in and shaking a leg too. Leslie was convinced that this Indian Idol team could get together to make a perfect band like Boney M. since they had singers, dancers and musicians all within the group! These enthusiastic youngsters might just take up the idea?

There was more excitement in store. The most popular guy just eliminated made a comeback ? on Roobaroo. Meiyang Chang was the surprise guest much to the delight of all around. Although Chang would much rather have been sitting with his buddies, he spoke like only Chang can -- frank and without malice, straight from the heart and in shuddh Hindi. He said Emon was his first choice for Indian Idol with Amit running a close second on the basis of pure talent. He also sang his favourite song Mahive teri yaad aati hai re?which will now always be remembered as Chang‘s song. And Chang will be remembered and missed for a long, long time.

Do not miss Roobaroo on Thursday 30th August at 9.00 pm only on Sony Entertainment Television.
