You tell it girl.

I am always confused when people come her claiming to know the general consensus of a whole population. I've seen some people say the Gujju's like Bhoomi etc etc.

Let me make my own generalization its fun. I think there is a huge difference between the voting of hot people and the rest. As far as I know only the hottest ans sexiest people on this forum like Sreeram.
@return_to_hades:
I first time agree with you. Woh Ajna, dabulls, angel-like-devil etc. etc. are big lover of sreeram and soon after elimination of sreeram in very near future, you and all above fans should make appointment with sreeram who will satisfy all of you in both ways mean front and back. I have done it.

I m fan of sreeram who is bad singer with ugly voice and I am blind supporter. simultaneously, I like great performer best performances of Swaroop Khan since audition but I did not vote as I am fan of sreeram. I did not like performances of bhoomi in audition but now she is doing well. Sreeram was never best performer who is only overhyped, consequently, you all fans were hypnotized with the situation. When you disregard other singers even now when do not need to in the last, it is shameful act because in this way you are only insulting sreram. The results are in your hand that other fans are now abusing sreeram.

Suggestion: It is not necessary to accept my suggestion but still I want to say that you should support your favorite while avoiding bashing of other singers.

At this stage, there is no bad singer except sreeram as evident from disco song where your disgusting swaroop khan has rocked the stage and again sixth time best performer since audition to date.

you are really lucky that you do not know the fact that sreeram is being saved by judges every time who are ignoring his mistakes because they enjoyed some parts of his song e.g. i love you whereas in that song he missed sur four times. According to votes, sreeram has to go instead of yashraj. And now dramatically, judges will show their empty hand while eliminating sreeram as they completed one part of drama i.e. using veto for rakesh whereas on that day again sreeram had to go according to performance and votes.

On the other hand, in chitti aayee song, Swaroop sang the song without any mistake but judges did not enjoy it as there was low range, therefor, they completely rejected the song which is absolutely wrong in competitions. In competitions, reasonable points can be deducted but not all points.

I don't know abt difference of opinionbetween US and India ..but personally I know sreeram and rakesh are better singers than swaroop..
still Swaroop is my favorite among all of them
The reason being rakesh and sreeram have more experience than him...I like both of them and do not want to undermine their capacity..just wanted to say that for Swaroop to compete with them with no experience on bollywood songs is really a big thing...
He is a natural performer and I love the throw in his voice..
If he improves his lower notes, and controls his voice little more he has the potential to be gr8 singer...
Hoping to see him in top 3 though I know most people want him eliminated..

I personally hate Bhoomi AND Swaroop, and I live in the States, so I dunno how you can generalize like that.

Probably the reason for most people in the US liking Swaroop is because of his unique voice texture, since most of the Indian artists going to perform in the States don't have that particular texture, Indians there may find it unique or refershing. In India, however, people are accustomed to that type of singing since you find people with that texture quite often, especially if you visit Rajasthan.

I mean no offense, but why is there such a difference in opinion? I actually just noticed this recently, and its kind of weird how the perception is so different from both countries. Most people here in the US who watch Indian Idol absolutely LOVE Swaroop. There are many of us rooting for him to win it all. But seems like s many of you guys in India would really like him to be eliminated soon? Dunno why there's such a discrepancy, but in all honesty there's a lot of us who ONLY watch this season just for Swaroop. Shashi was also VERY popular here in the states, but you guys eliminated him way too early. And even though most here agree that Sreeram's a great singer, not many people would mind him being eliminated because his voice isn't anything unique or something we haven't heard before. And for the record, everyone here thinks Bhoomi should've been eliminated a LONG time ago.

I really wish votes could be counted internationally, but since only India's votes count, I hope you guys eliminate Bhoomi soon! :)



I am in India and I completely agree with you. Sreeram is technically good but thats about it. Swaroop Khan has something in him and Pritam / Sulaimaan / Shankar were instantly floored.

Bhoomi should not have been in the top 5 at all.

I stay in India, and for sure I am not accustomed to hear folk music often neither do I hear voice of Swaroop's texture very often...
I think he has a different and unique voice which I love and..so I don't think it has anything to do with being in India or in US

I'm in the United States...I am hoping to see Swaroop Khan eliminated...i'm not like others rooting for Swaroop. Swaroop's time is up, he has to go, he has got to be eliminated cause there will be only one indian idol...As far as Bhoomi is concerned, she deserves to stay here. Her voice is very unique, and equally talented as Sreeram, Shivam, and Rakesh. So i want Bhoomi to go all the way...Swaroop should be the next one to go and i also want Rakesh to go after that...The third one that should go is Shivam. This means, Sreeram and Bhoomi compete in the finals. Both deserve to be in the finals.

I fully agree, Sreeram's voice is not that great to hear , may be after recording it sounds good. If he has already done so much recording and sang in films why is he here and seasoned singer why is he competing with the fresh singers , just for money ? Isn't it that the show is looking for fresh talents and give chances to new ones. Sreeram wanted to be well known and so the judges gave the boost and if now musicians really wants to record him they will call him and do so , who is stopping. But yest Swaroop has the talent, going by the fact that he never heard of sang Hindi movie songs and do not know the mood of the songs , he picked up pretty well and doing fine. That is great. Shashi was also my favourite. Rakesh is also another favourite, Hope he reaches the final
