Trust me, it was TOTAL regionalism ! See stars have a right to appeal for a candidate, but in this case check out the choice of Stars - why select only those stars who either come from bengal or who are bengalis ? Did you hear what the stars had to say when they spoke in Bengali ? They were all telling the bengalis to wake up.
BASICALY it is really unfair that talented singer like Anwesha is mostly in Scaryland and average rated singer like Prakriti has NEVER BEEN TO SCARYLAND.
Anvesha is one of the best singers a show has showcased in recent years. Yet she hits scaryland every so often. Thats unfortunate ! But to blame Bengal for this disaster is also very unfortunate. A singer like Anvesha is a NATIONAL pride and not just a bengal property that bengalis should simply vote her to fairyland. By stating these they are hurting Anvesha's chances by alienating her from the rest of the country !
The reason that was stated above by other posters that may be many in Bengal don't watch the show even is actually true.When they are not even aware of her how on earth will they vote. They may have their own reason for not watching, now we can't fix who watches what right?
Moreover, her coming to scaryland is a disgrace to voters from all regions, then why highlight that one place?
Yesterday Kunal thanked the Gujaratis in getting Ashwarya the higfhest votes. But is that credit only of the Gujaratis because she is from there or is it of all the Indians who voted for her.Why highlight domicile all the time?
this voting system doesn't work perfectly but the format of show is much better than Adults show, because if Anwesha would have been there or same pattern would have been folowed in this show, Anwesha could have been eliminated long time back.
Some how I feel Anvesha hitting bottom so frequently is a play to showcase the merit of J-power i.e. Judges power. But thank God that the Judges have the power to veto such a decision. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened.
