You must have noticed that Hemachandra has never got the highest votes in this competition.
Unfortunately for him, he doesn't have any voter base. You all have been witness to the fact that a great deal of public voting is region based. And the sad thing is that this trend is being encouraged by the show… For example
... Shaan talking about Raktima and Ujjaini splitting the Kolkata votes
... Shots of general public saying they'll vote for Nihira because she's from Mumbai
... Rajeev asking his home town people to vote for him in local languages and Punjabi
... Paresh being asked to speak in Gujarati to get the Gujarati vote… and so on
Hemachandra is from South India, and people from the south don't have much representation as contestants or voters in these type of shows. The same is true of Indian Idol and Fame Gurukul. Indian Idol does not even go to a single south Indian city to recruit singers. I don't really blame them too much because the southern part of India is not Hindi speaking…
So, don't be too surprised if a talented singer like Hemachandra gets left out in this mania of public voting…
I hope Saregamapa NEVER repeats this mistake again !!!!!!!!!!!
