<p>   Sunidhi feels in a bid to discover a complete package - a mix of good voice and looks - the judges missed out on true singing talents and that is the reason they are not giving much importance to looks.</p>  <p class="caption">   <img alt="Indian-Idol" src="/imagedata/2012/apr/Indian-Idol.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 198px; " /><br />   Anu Malek, Sunidhi Chauhan and Salim Merchant on the sets of &#39;Indian Idol&#39;</p>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   &quot;Our priority this time is only good voice. That voice has to have a spark and magic which touches the soul. Yes, season five was all about complete packaging, but while selecting that we missed out on some great talents.u00a0</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   u00a0</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   So this time we thought why not concentrate on voice only as looks can happen gradually with grooming,&quot; she said.</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   u00a0</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   Salim of music composer duo Salim and Sulaiman, said: &quot;It is wrong to say that we always look for a complete package as this edition will be only about good singer. The focus will only be on voice.&quot;</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   u00a0</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   It is said that over 1.5 lakh participants have registered themselves online for this edition of &#39;Indian Idol&#39;, which has earlier discovered talents like Abhijeet Sawant, Sandeep Acharya, Prashant Tamang and Sreeramchandra Mynampati.</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   u00a0</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   Musician Anu Malek, who has been a judge on the show ever since its debut in 2004, said looks can help contestant only if he or she is blessed with a good voice.</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   u00a0</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   &quot;I am not looking for a girl who looks beautiful. If that comes with your voice, it can be an added bonus. But for me voice matters and nothing else,&quot; he added.</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   u00a0</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   So far Tripura girl Sourabhee Debbarma has been the only female who won the &#39;Indain Idol&#39; title. She participated in the season four.</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   u00a0</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   Sunidhi said this edition might see more female contestants and added: &quot;So far the number of girls are more then boys and I am happy about it. It&#39;s good to see girls are coming out and showing their true power. Hope to get more female winners.&quot;</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   u00a0</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   The show will be hosted by Husain Kuwajerwala and Mini Mathur. Though the dates are not finalised yet, but it may replace &#39;Comedy Circus&#39;.</div>
