I am a die-hard fan of Sonu Nigam and his singing, but after watching todays episode of II3,am convinced that there is no one to replace Sonu's judging capabilities. Am not talking about singing here, mind you, its about the ability to judge. I like Udit and his singing a lot, but he's just an average judge, sometimes he comments and that too, he reinforces someone's else's comments most of the time. So am not counting him to take a strong stand ever, i mean he, in my opinion, likes to play safe!
Alisha is good, but she is not as powerful as Sonu, i mean, she has comments but since its her first time judging, she does not force her opinion, she reserves her comments for last and is very sweet, very sweet to be rude and frank like Farah.
So in my opinion Sonu's judgement cannot be replaced even with Alisha and Udit together. He is the best, i really liked the way he thinks and talks. Boy, there is not Zing to Indian Idol without SOnu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
