The talented singer also opened up on her prep before going on a shoot for the song and asserted, “Song selection depends on the theme of the episode. Sometimes guests are invited so that also plays a role. Once the tracks are finalised, we have a week to prepare. I listen to the song line by line and write it down on paper with notations. Then I memorise it. All this takes a day. Then we meticulously plan on how we are going to perform it. We brainstorm on execution, musical arrangement, variations and improvisations from day two. The voice coaches at Idol help us at this stage. We sit with the musicians and decide on how to present the song. Once arrangement is finalised, then we practice. Technical rehearsals are done over two-three days and then we shoot.” Also Read - Indian Idol 12: Pawandeep Rajan does not consider Sawai Bhatt as his competition; here's WHY!
