Elimination
Chang was eliminated on 25 August 2007 after reaching the top 5 of the competition. It was reported as a shocking elimination as he performed well the night before and so did Amit Paul, another hot favorite contestant who was also in the danger zone. One of the judges, Alisha Chinai, was so shocked by his elimination and prompted her to leave the stage in protest and in tears. Later she came back on stage on the request of Chang, she gave him her favorite baseball cap and watched his last performance on the Indian Idol stage prompting quite a few people to shed their tears. He came back to make a special appearance on 30 August 2007 in Indian Idol because of popular demand according to the host and also sang one of the songs he sang in the competition. He also indicated that he has visited Alisha, who has chosen not to appear as a judge because of his elimination, so as to request her to return to the show as the judge.
