Indian audience - emotional fools

Everytime when I go through "fame gurukul" forum, I feel that people are so childish (may be many are teenagers). They talk so much about things that are not important to be a good singer.

Why is that people here often talk that Qazi is a honest guy..blah blah..blah..
Why is that people talk he never attacks anyone..blah blah..

Is it more important for us as an audience to see these traits in a singer - even more than their singing talent? Come on we are not picking our life partner here! Are we!! We are picking someone on his/her skills. Isn't this a good reason why we want our brothers/sisters/kids to go to school so that they can earn their living because of their skills -example, computer skills, accounting skills.

I also want to point out that when Indian audience vote for Qazi do they realize that they are only voting for his performance. If this continues to happen in the long run then probably all our actors can become singers one day. Is this what we want?

And what about singers who have singing education? Is Indian audience discouraging education? < src="chrome://greasem/content/s/1102161148673">< src="chrome://greasem/content/s/1102237157909">< src="chrome://greasem/content/s/1102161148673">< src="chrome://greasem/content/s/1102237157909">

What's happening in Fame Gurukul happens in real life too. Its sad but its true. I agree with your point on the voting. Its time the viewers vote for singing talent and performance versus just performance.

But FG isn't a Sa Re Ga Ma Pa or even an Indian Idol. Those shows are based solely on musical/singing talent. FG is different because we're seeing how the contestants act in their 'normal' lives, whether scripted or unscripted. All said and done, FG is more than just singing. Qazi is getting the janta vote because he is the underdog and viewers always sympathize with the underdog...

I think being away from India u hv really become unemotional...wonder why are u bothering to watch Indian shows..I wld say fortunately our country still respects good people rather than good accounting skills or computer skills. I wonder what kind of education u plan for your kids..sad.

Till the guys who voted for Gurpreet instead of Kirti are out, Public will vote for Qazi. What do Shamit, Anubhav, Arijit feel, only they can play unfair?

No offense... but I think you should not say things like they are emotional fools... I believe everyone has their choice and right to vote for whom they feel...
Why even the US public gave Bush the second presidency-what wud u call them?

Finally, I believe what sonynu said is right...Qazi is the underdog, junta hears the other students degrading him constantly, and they are supporting him... in a way, the students apne pair mein khuladi maar rahe hain, by keeping on talking bad about Qazi.. I agree he is not a very good singer, but then tell that.. Dont tell things they dont like the way he looks, he dresses etc... that is the talk of losers !!! and the Indian junta who is more intelligent is just showing them whom they support!!!!

Anyways thats what i think....Sorry if i've offended anyone.

I see a great potential in Qazi! check out his first performance and his latest one (dil ko) he has improved soooo much its unbelievable! Qazi is an entertainment package ... hes a great dancer, great actor, and now a great singer as well...and i can say that none of the other contestants know how to entertain people. There are plenty of awesome singers and singing ability itself is not what the audience base their votes on... they look beyond that!
and if you (asinha) call the audience emotional fools then I am sorry you don't understand what the audience looks for in a singer
i mean if it was just for singing theres countless number of BRILLIANT singers like lata mangeshkar, sonu nigam... endless list! audience doesn't want that ... what they want is a person whos a good singer and an awesome entertainer so that they don't get bored by just listening to people singing plainly

I DEFINATELY AGREE!!! 👏 Qazi is turning into a complete entertainment package... which is what the point of a show like Fame Gurukul is. It is trying to create a "pop idol" kinda like American Idol here in the States.

As for Qazi's singing ability, I firmly believe he is getting better each time he sings, compared to his first performace (which was definately less than mediocre)

FG is more than just singing talent, otherwise why would they all be living together and all taht? Seems kind of pointless to me if you jus twanted to find the best singer... waste all that money to have all these people live together and all that... Its definately based on talent, personality and how they present themselves...

The other students have put themselves in a bad position buy speaking ill of Qazi... They should nto have said it and they know it too!! I would completely understand if they wanted to vote out Qazi on the basis of singing talent, but Arjit said he doesn't like his hair (what the...!) and Shamit said he thinks Qazi is self-obsessed and talks too much. Well, Shamit has a few personality problems of his own! I think the students are paying now for the ill-spoken words towards Qazi!

GOOO QAZIIIIIII! 👏

I agree, yes qazi is a nice guy, BUT, he has no qualities a SINGER should have, yes he makes a good stage preformer, but NOT a GOOD SINGER. NO, and Indian Audiance always picks him because--for no reason i guess and its irratating. VERY! 😡 Because of Qazi good people like Kirti get out, Qazi dosent deserve to be the fame jodi. People like, Anubhuv, Mona, Rex, Shmit, and Arjit should be picked, maybe some of them dosent have such good stage presents BUT, this is more about singing than acting and looks. I think the Indian Audiance should think once more before they vote for Qazi. He make be able to become a good actor but a never, he REALLLY needs to work on it, and EVERYONE knows it, the from jury to faculty to public to particepants. I could on on for hours but i'll stop.

Love

When it comes to a competition, why should I be emotional? But when it comes to being away from India or from family ofcourse everybody is emotional and so am I. You have to realize when to be emotional and when not to be. Otherwise how could anyone be fair!!

Regarding Bush winning the election, I would explain you that Bush got most of his votes from places which were remote, places where people were not educated and places where people were too naive. Unfortunately, US has many areas which are unexplored and uncivilized and very remote. Democrats won in all the cosmopolitan areas. Let me know if I am incorrect. You have a full right to do your research.

Why do all the contestants hate Qazi?
It is very common and natural to feel jealous when someone has an unfair advantage (getting public votes) over others. This is true in the real world. Example, teachers favourite student in the class, someone inefficient getting promotions in a workplace, a boyfriend talking to an attractive girl infront of his girlfriend . Try to think when do you feel jealous!!!

I posted computer skills and accounting skills just as example. Don't forget I am speaking in favour of people who love art.

My only reason to post was to make you guys aware that it is very important to be fair to all the other contestants (constestants who have spent their 15-18 years studying music) or contestants who are versatile in singing art. And not someone who was thinking of polishing his acting skills but one day he saw an ad of 'Fame Gurukul' and thought he may try his luck. ( I am quoting Qazi).

Ofcourse everyone has a right to choose. But make an intelligent choice.

but still, i don't see why he should leave... its really not his fault that he's getting the votes, so why is he being treated unfairly? Its not like he's going around begging people for votes or paying people or something to vote for him. He in fact always says that vote for the best SINGER. So not his fault, don't blame him for other people leaving... Eventually, most of the good singers HAD to go, regardless of whether Qazi was there or not ! So stop blaming him ! 😡
