Indian Idol or Regionallism?

🤢 When I saw one by one the best ones were going out, I was wondering if we are really looking for Indian Idol or this is all about regionalism! As part of a region, I vote for my region whether that is the best singer or not, just to put our images high we just cast our vote to the person who does not have the best voice. This is not healthy competition. We have to think a different strategy.🤢

Right, but some people want it that way.

if voting by region helps people in that region to come together for something good, instead of fighting, then what the heck, let it be.

There are right reasons and wrong reasons and if the people get together ot do some good for the community is just wonderful. Making a competition unhealthy by getting together and shattering another well deserving fellow humanbeings dreams is not justifiable.

Problem hai ...this is not a platform to promote deshbhakti .....for that the region should make him the leader ...here we want to watch a good singer who sings in sur ,is versatile and is a playback material ....singer who we want to hear again and again ......unfortunately , we r going to get stuck with another Sandeep Acharya ( looking at the crowd in Darjeeling !!!)

Now II3 has become mockery of a musical show ....already comedy circus took a dig at II3 by mentioning " aajkal TRP barhane ke liye judges mein fights hona zaroori hai "😆.....

please you are talking as if this is new.Sandeep Acharya won on the same grounds or in what way was he better than Karunya.Same with Debojit as Northeast is so just focused in only making there candidate win.Its like elections and not singing.

Well after the second season, this contest is not based on singing or even popularity but regionalism. Whichever community votes most, the contestant from that place wins. I agree if you are from a certain place, you feel sympathetic towards that contestant. But if someone sings bad like Sanjaya in American Idol, is it right to support him because he is Indian?

I think Sony will have to shut down II if they make another Sandeep win this year. We are down to the final 2 contestants and I still didn't see Sandeep being brought. Are they going to bring him in the finals and then ask him what? What are you doing? To which his answer will be I'm studying music at home. It's a shame on Sony. The contestant they should be proud of is Karunya who got a chance to sing a solo hit song in a movie, got am album released , is doing playback in his state and hosting the kids saregama. Yet they don't bring him as it would be insulting to the show that such a talented guy lost.

There is no morality issue. Indian Idol and all reality shows promote regionism. There is no criteria for voting. We can argue as much as we want but the truth is there is only a set of audience who vote based on that particular day's rendition, all others vote based on regionism, beauty, dance, masti etc.

As soon as we see a contestant we utter 'Oh that pretty girl', 'that handsome guy', 'the one from Assam', 'Bikaner wala guy', 'apna kancha'. We put tag on each contestant and unknowingly we bring the bias through gender, region or looks.

😉 Guys thanks a lot for all these valuable comments. I thank also the moderators who are well known for shutting debates even if they are healthy. 😃 I am happy to see people's sentiments on regionalism versus search of 😳 true talents. Love you guys. 😳

i don't know but it feels like Regionallism to me... 😭
