Hyd_nri, I will ask you the same question when Hyderabadi Karunya is voted out next week because of regional politics. Hopefully you respond the same way...its plain & simple. Anuj & Sandeep have been bad singers consistently....Same was with Ravi Tripathi. How many chances should they get? It hurts to see Amey Date losing to Anuj & Sandeep and it definitely hurt the judges. They are humans too. Karunya & Amey were the 2 best singers of Indian Idol. All others that left the show or were voted out had to be voted out some day as they were not as good as Amey & Karunya. It will hurt me if Karunya leaves next week and I am from Mumbai. I don't have any regional problems because I consider India as a whole...not divided into states. If it is a Talent contest ...go by TALENT.
About American Idol....last year Bo Bice and Carrie Underwood were the 2 best contestants and the final was between them. If there was regional trouble...I being a Flordian wouldn't have voted for them though they were not from Florida and I know my friends & co-workers did the same. The votes are never told by region on American Idol...so I don't know where you get the info. from...maybe tabloids :) In Indian Idol, the 2 best contestants were Amey & Karunya and the finals should have been between them.
Only narrow-minded people think about voting for their regional people and cowards deal with the problem the way it is just because those were the rules to start off with. That is what Sonu said that I cannot sit like a coward and see this happening. Regional differences is a problem of India today and has always been. THINK OF INDIA AS A WHOLE....DON'T LET PEOPLE DIVIDE YOU AND RULE OVER YOU. VOTE FOR TALENT!!!VOTE FOR "INDIAN" IDOL!!!
Even after all this, nothing is going to change. HP people will still vote for Anuj & Rajasthani people will still vote for Sandeep and if Karunya is voted out next week...people will say, this was Janta's choice. Those who liked Karunya should have voted for him...plain & simple :) But how do you know how much to vote for him? You can lose by 1 vote.
Rather have like Fame Gurukul where judges keep your favorite contestants based on that day's performance in safe zone and voting is between weakest contestant and 1 is voted out. But looking at FG results...Qazi was the winner so there you go Kashmir won in voting there.This time lets see if HP, Rajasthan or Hyderabd will win as the contest is between states not TALENT.
VOTE FOR TALENT PLEASE...KEEP REGIONAL DIFFERENCES ASIDE.
EVEN when Anuj's niece was talking, I could see the anger for Mumbai and Mumbai people...really uncalled for.

American Idol too has the same issues, many cases Hawaiian contestants family and state used to flood the phone lines and keep their contestants in play. Some thing with a Cleveland contestant etc;. It is natural to vote for your state person. Only thing make sure that u vote more than the other contestant. Simon decides the American Idol not the people :-)
Amey was deserving to be in top two and people who felt that should have voted more. Plain and simple
