Hey everyone!
It's my first time posting a thread...or even visiting this website for that matter...I'm from Toronto, Canada and my Forum name is a bit misleading.... I am definitely NOT a Star Plus Fan...but I do happen to watch the occasional Voice of India episode with my mum and dad...as I did today....congratulations to all the contestants...you guys are all great singers...and just to be able to perform in front of billions of viewers is an achievement on its own... good job!! ...and really everyone should realize that the number of votes you receive, or what the judges say is not always a true definition of your potential....especially if the judges are Alka Yagnik and that Abhijeet dude...who.. for lack of better words... and just plain STUPID !
I am especially making reference to Alka and Abhijeet's completely inappropriate behaviour toward's Ishmeet on today's episode. First of all, I thought he was quite out of line when he publicly announced that he was receiving harrassing SMS messages accusing him of not supporting Ishmeet. Poor Ishmeet was completely oblivious to the whole thing...BUT then ABHIJEET proved to be an even BIGGER ********* by announcing that he and his equally ***** side-kick Alka felt that their was one member of THEIR TEAM that they felt should have been kicked out of the competetion a long time ago!! With not even an ounce of diplomacy they made it very evident that their comments were meant for Ishmeet! Poor Ishmeet, he made it through the elimination process...but was so hurt...he was speechless! And how was he supposed to react to that?! His OWN "gurus" had basically stated that he was unworthy of being on the stage and not fit to be amongst his peers...completely anahilating his self-confidence in one blow and probably leaving severe long term psychological effect. I STRONGLY believe that the producers of the show should be ASHAMED of exhibiting such impartiality, unethical and quite frankly INHUMANE behaviour...Ishmeet..regardless of his competencies as a singer... DID NOT DESERVE THAT!!! ALSO, after such public humiliation, he most certainly deserves a PUBLIC APOLOGY from both of the judges!!!!!!!!! Lastly , by picking their favourites, and imposing such bias... these judges are clearly skewing the voting process...this is NOT fair to any of the contestants....
IF YOU have made it through this post ... thanks for reading it .. I know it was a long one ...please leave your comments...
If anyone knows how I could personally contact the producers of the show, please let me know ...if you feel as strongly as I do ... I would suggest you do the same! ...
Lastly, just to let you all know,.... I am not an "Ishmeet Fan"... or an "Alka and Abhikeet Hater"...and I am not from Punjab... and actually dont even watch this show regularly...I was just really shocked by the judges misconduct and felt that I needed to say something ....
