The Idol mind…
Indian Idol 3gets its own version of Sanjaya (of American Idol) with viewers creating online forums to vote out Suhit Gosain
RANJIB MAZUMDER

Indian Idol 3 contestant Suhit Gosain has become the Sanjaya Malakar of American Idol. Suhit has been voted out but has a strong chance of coming back to the show as a wildcard entry. Sanjaya Malakar faced criticism from different quarters and viewers created blogs both to vote for and against vote him.
Now, Siddharth Vora from the US has created an online petition forum requesting people not to vote for Suhit Gosain. His idea is working and there are lots of petitions piling up. And his idea is quite a logical one. He believes that American Idol has produced success stories like Jennifer Hudson, while Indian Idol has failed to script success stories. So, he wants viewers to favour people who are talented, unlike Indian Idol 2 Sandeep Acharya and Fame Gurukul winner Qazi Tauqeer, who haven't made a mark in the music world.
Niret Alva, president of Miditech, said, "I know, people tend to vote for their contestant without considering musical talent. The Sanjaya Malakar episode has given birth to this online petition."

Suhit Gosain

This means sony knows about the petition and they have been thinking and talking about it too.
