Walt Disney Television International (India) SVO and MD Antoine Villeneuve said, "Hannah Montana - the Big Pop Star dream offers kids across the nation an opportunity to bring out their hidden talent and pursue their dreams.

These performances were later reviewed by Anushka Manchanda. Four finalists flew to Mumbai to get a complete Hannah Montana makeover and recorded the Hannah Montana title track in Hindi. The vignettes of these four semi finalists‘ performances were aired on Disney Channel for an audience poll.
