yeah if Prashant gets votes, it's regional voting and when the other contestants get vote from their region, it's a Godly decision? If people in Prashant's region cheer up for him, it's unfair and if people in Amit's region gear up to make him win, it's a very wise move? Double standards eh!
It's regionalism that gets II the votes that they get. If II was about all parts of India waking up to find its singing Gandhi, don't you think II would earn like 1,000 millions of votes? If it was not about regionalism, do you think people from Assam who live their lives in fear would bother about who becomes Indian Idol? If it was not for regionalism, you think those Nepali speaking minorities who are treated like barbarians would bother who become the next Abhijeet Sawant? It's regionalism that gets the shows like II and SRGMP going. That's the reason why such contests promote regionalism so heavily..
Well noones saying that thr isn't regionalism...but u do realize the extent to which this has gone, dont u? HOW MANY TIMES has this dude come in the bottom 4 or wotever? Even if Amit Paul or the other contestants are getting regional votes...they still manage to come in the bottom once a while...unlike Mr. Oh-im-gonna-get-votes-even-if-i-jus-hold-the-mic-and-stand!
