I think of the four possible replacements for Jolly - Anuj, Dilpreet, Jyotsna, Kshitij and Mukesh, only Anuj is someone who has any chance of receiving any decent votes from the junta in the future rounds. Going by the current trend and hopeless results, all small town people are surging ahead easily. Look at how Sandeep, Antara and Ravi are always safe. Ravi especially is so smug, I dont know whats going on with him😡
Anyway, coming back to my topic...if they had brought Dilpreet back she would not have a great list of voters although she has many fans. Kshitij will suffer just like Amey is and same for Jyotsna. Cant say much about Mukesh.
IMO Sony needs to save face and hope that if Anuj gets a lot of votes from Himachal, at least there will be a decent competition to the likes of Ravi, who if they win will be a total waste of investment for Sony. Look at the sales of the Qazi-Ruprekha album(FYI, its not selling as they thought it would). Who will buy Ravi's album? Or for that matter Sandeep's? Antara and Monali have nice voices but they still dont sing at the level we are all expecting. As of now Amey, Meenal and Karunya are the only ones worth listening to. Hopefully Anuj will do a good job and help in getting rid of the less deserving contestants.
Lets keep our fingers crossed and everyone who can vote, please do so keeping talent in mind.
