Who is Popular and Who is Not?

Hello II3ers 😃

During II2, we used to say so-so is more popular than so-so-so. So-so has more fans than So-so-so. Even now, when the show is not on the air, we still have debates over who is more popular, famous and well-known.

So, how do we determine who is more popular? Do we go by fan following in forums and on the net? Do we go by number of fan clubs and posts? Do we judge fame by a contestant's success in their respective field? Or maybe, by how much media attention they get?

At the end of the day, to stay in a show like Indian Idol, one needs the support of the public. Well, not the entire public cos its not really 'how many people vote' but 'how much they each vote'. We could say that winners of reality shows are more popular than the non-winners. I don't want to use the term 'losers' here. Or maybe they have more ardent and passionate fans? 😕

What do you all think? Which contestants would you call 'popular' from Indian Idol 1 and Indian Idol 2?
