Pakistan Idol was started in Pakistan with the aim of providing young musicians the opportunity to gain recognition and be able to start their music careers. However nobody thought that this would be true for someone who didn’t even qualify for the event.
Enter Maria Meer, an 18 year old girl from Faisalabad who comes from a relatively poor family, whose passion for music caused her to persuade her reluctant parents to let her come to the Pakistan Idol auditions in hopes of a better future. Even though she sang better than many people, the judges didn’t think her voice was mature enough to make her worthy of competing in Pakistan Idol and all three rejected her.
The viewers of the show however had different opinions and it caused a stir among them. The audition video went viral and the judges were targeted on social media by people who thought they had been unfair. The issue gained so much popularity that aspiring singer and songwriter took notice and decided to offer Maria a chance to work with him on his new Album.
