so i am not sure if he falls under the category of "X factor"

I agree with you for the most part (about the X factor). The only thing I would like to point out is that Quazi's performances were liked by neither the other contestants nor the judges. It's only the public voting that saw him win. If the judges had 50% of the voting power, Quazi wouldn't have made it past the first elimination.
Here Mahesh is getting high marks from the judges. We do not know what percent of the public votes he's getting. That info is not being revealed.
Hi All. I do agree with you that unlike Mahesh, Qazi drew flak from fellow contestants and his teachers but judges always placed Qazi in the danger zone eventhough they simply loved him, and they were never biased. However they never gave him a big zero for his performances. When he deserved it they even praised him to the hilt. He would lose only coz ppl like Arijit, Kirti, Ruprekha were impeccable and the rest of them, with the exception of Rex, were trained.
Even if the judges had 50% of the say in the selection of the wimner Qazi would have still won hands down for he used to corner almost 70-75% of the total public votes. Once he even got 32 lakh votes out of 40 lakhs.
As far as Mahesh is concerned, I've come across ppl who love his performance. My cousin is one of them. She finds him more entertaining than the other contestants. No I do not think he has the X-factor. Tis my personal opinion.
Thanks. Take care.
