Unless there is some hidden surprise that we do not know about, I am
sure that JL will make their feelings clear after this contest is over. They
do still have Ujjaini to root for. Whle she is the Rock gharana, if she wins,
it will reflect well on JL so maybe they will not burn their bridges yet. Who
knows, maybe last week when they criticized the Swananda decision,
maybe some people were angered and took it out on Sharib. I don't
know. I still cannot believe that this result could be true. But then again,
Raktima appeared to have had a good performance and she lost so maybe
I am missing the reasoning here.
I also think that there are two kinds in the viewing audience -- music
lovers and "Indian Idol" seekers. I think that the music lovers have to
choose between Hema, Sharib, and Debo while the teeny bopper crowd
goes for Vineet and Paresh. Wait but then who is voting for Rajeev? The
way Zee has been playing up his cooking career, I think that there must
be a third segment comprising food lovers, or at least people who love
chow mein.
