There have been countless threads on Amit and whether he'll reach the top 3/ become the next Indian Idol etc.. I want to shed a different light on why he should win this competition.
We all know his story. He's 24 years old, from a small town in India, and he gave up studies to pursue his dream of becoming a singer. Now compare him with the rest of the contestants. Chang is a doctor; Prashant is a Sepoy; Abhishek is an engineering student; Emon, Deepali, Pooja and Ankita are all young and still have time to go down different paths/start life over if they don't win the 1 crore contract. But what about Amit? He is talented enough to make a career out of singing, but he has been struggling to break through. And right now, he's at a stage where it'll be difficult for him to make a living out of something other than singing.
We have the power to shape his life for him. I'm not trying to look for sympathy votes...it's important to realise that he's talented enough to deserve to become the next Indian Idol. The purpose of this thread is to make people (re)consider his circumstances and to share why I'm rooting for him (besides being a fan of his awesome voice and hardworking, humble nature).
