i'm completely disagree with you.
prashant is far far better than most of the contestent and if he improves a bit i garuntee that he will be next II3. he is just "UN-CUT DIMOND".
Guys.....here is a method to rate:
1. take pen and paper before gala starts
2. don't care who is singing, where s/he from, what is her/his background, close your eyes....and listen every contestent
3. rate immediately once song finished (do mute for judges or don't listen to judge or finish rating before judges comments). it is your judgement whom you like the best....don't say at beggining this guys/gals sang fabolus and after judeges comments s/he sang so-so.
4. i'm sure you will find prashant one of the most talented singer. he has such a gr8 voice. he has a tremendious appeal in his voice.
5. friends, don't listen what others are saying. listen what your heart is saying.
