I have never said much in this section but I am a big big supporter of Anwesha. That girl is unbelievable, I have never seen anyone that young sing that well. I have been following all talent shows for the last 20 years in India and never come accross anyone like her. EVen Shreya on SRGMP or Sunidhi on Meri awaz suno were not as good at her age.
But when I see this show (before I became a Anwesha die hard), i honestly thought that they dont play fair with her and I think thats what bugs most of her supporters, I can understand their plight. Anwesha is soooo good that everyone is out to spot faults in her performance and they dont judge others with the same critique, atleast they dont comment.
Aishwarya is a good singer no doubt and at times sings better too but I feel no one critiques her the way they do it for Anwesha. Aish has a serious problem with breath control during her songs, she keeps breathing into the mike and when the song is soft (less music like manmohana) it becomes evident. She is also a bit shrill in high pitch songs. But this does not take away from the fact that she is a great singer and their final would be great.
But I expect judges to have the same parameters while comenting for all. To me it looks like follows (which I know is not true but it looks like) :
1. Anwesha seems to be a big threat to the current female singers and maybe subconciously the female judges are aware of this fact. Alka sure is a prime candidate. Thats why they are busy distributing gold chains and calling Aish as 'Sakshat Saraswati Ka Roop' to bring Anwesha down.
2. I cant believe how Anwesha's votes can be lower than others. She is from Bengal and we all know that the Bangla speaking crowd is too passionate in their support (see any other such show).
3. I have a strong feeling that GS is pulling his strings to garner votes and increase fan base in other areas. Punjab was a huge potential and so it was Ashmeet. Now everyone knows that Gujarat is a huge voting potential to be tapped, which he is doing. This way he is spreading his viewership base.
BTW - I am neither a Bengali or a Gujju. I am a very proud punju mumbaiite (hope Raj thakrey is not reading this đ )
So most of Anwesha supporters like me have these feelings which makes us a bit frustrated as we see that wrong is happening and cant do a damn about it. This frustration pours out on the forum, so please do try to understand our perspective too.
