Before I start no offense to anyone, I just got irritated by some posts!

As much as I would like to deny it but region and religion plays a big role in this voting game. I know my mother favors Aamir over all other contestants because he is a muslim just like her. When I was a member of Rohanpreet's facebook group I swear everyone's last name was Kaur, singh etc etc. Being a bengali I know many bengali aunties who voted for Anamika just because she is bengali. So it matters. people are biased int heir judgement.

Next why do we always assume the worst about people. Sonu and Sureshji are respected. They are not like drama queen Himesh. Sonu has said it from the beginning that he wants no fake drama for trp. He wanted to keep the show clean. I would like to think they achieved that much. I don't remember any dramas excpet Noliya's dad who set up the votes for his daughter and Aamir's family. Sonu from the beginning liked Aamir. he even pleaded to the audience that keep this child around. He lasted till top 4!!! That's huge! Then why are the fans still outraged about it being set up?? Is it because they canceled the elimination between Rohanpreet and Vasu?? Before they cancelled it they asked for permission from all the parents.

Lets talk about everyone's singing ability...you might like Anamika or you might dislike Anamika but for a second stop being biased and realize the girl can sing! She might've started out weaker than Smita but she got stronger by the day. She has proven to be most versitile. I doubt zee had to put her at the top. She always got good-best comments from the judges. Would a respected guy like Suresh ji whose sole life is singing lie for the sake of tv?? Lets say even if they did lie and gave her higher marks all A+ , she still had the whole bengali region! Their votes would still save her. So zee did nothing to make her win. She won all on her own. Stop crying about it. The crown was hers.

Rohanpreet. He started out average but it is safe to say his regional punjabi votes kept him at the beginning. Then he started getting better. Look at judges comments. They have always pointed out his mistakes. One week he would get 2 A+ next week he wouldn't. If they really favored him wouldn't they just hand him over with A+'s. Rohanpreet has done well. He made his mark. Everyone always got awed by his stage presence. He is not only a good singer but the BEST performer. You can be biased on if he is a great singer or not. But denying he is the best performer along with Tanmay means you are a liar, in denial or blind. All the judges permanent and guest have always commented on their stage presence. Rohanpreet got his share of perfect score with Bulla ki jana, Tauba tauba, and halka halka sa yeh nasha. Note the difference between the songs! Even in ESBE the comments he got like rocking star, yeh gata nahi hai, gana ho jata hai..etc etc. He is a natural performer.

Tanmay. I think he is adorable!!!! But I hate listening to him. His voice just doesn't work for me. But I would never lie. He is a great performer. He controls the stage. He is smart and learns. From all the judges to his guru they complement him on knowing his stuff. He gets his notes, and taal right. He has gotten his share of perfect score too. Votes wise I don't know which region would save him, because though he is from a particular area I don't believe they have strong love toward him because he is from lucknow. Rohan being a punjabi and Anamika being bengali have a greater advantage. Again you might dislike him tot he fullest degree but he knows his sur and taal. That's what matters to them the most. He always get complemented on how he easily sings the hardest songs well.

Now lets get to Aamir. loving someone is one thig. Being blind or accusing someone is another. I love this kid. I love his voice. When he sings I close my eyes and listen. It touches my heart. But I can't remember him having all A+s like Rohan or tanmay. He always got comments on messing up notes. Also he forgot his lines. Which singer forgets their lines?? I can't believe someone would come out and claim he is the best singer when he makes big enough mistakes. All I have to say is feel free to love anyone, just don't be so biased that it blinds you. Aamir is my 3rd favorite lil champ, but I know exactly why I like him. It is because I love his voice. He is not a versitile singer and sticks to the same type of songs like Raja. All the songs he sings are my favorite. Vote wise he has a large number of fans. I can't remember but I think Vasundhara had her share of A+s which was higher than Aamir. But Aamir pulled in more votes, he is quite popular abroad.

I don't have much to say about Vasundhara because during lil champs days I disliked her a lot. So much where I prayed she would be out. Now I adore her. But I do remember she got lot os good marks in lil champs. Another reason why I prayed she would be out.

Rohit. Everyone wanted him to stay. he lost out on votes. If zee could keep him zee would've. Suresh and Sonu were shocked by his elimination. I am not a big fan of Rohit but I do listen to honest critics. The guru of the kids said like Tanmay he is aware of the sur and taal.

Ok that's a lot of writing. I am sorry if I offended anyone!

So this is what irritates me. I would love to know if there is anything about these shows or people's comments that irritates you 😳? if you are going to refute any of my points please do back it up with substantial proof.

wowww !!!!..that was an awesome post !!!...Kudos to u for saying the way it is .....👏👏👏...I agree with u verbatim ....But this biasness is pronounced more this year in IF than before ...That's why i stopped coming here ....I am glad I noticed this thread ....
U know what ????..we can't change people's mindset but what I never noticed during 2006 and 2007 is the way a particular group bash other good singers and just praise their favs....
Anamika was the champ because she was exceptionally good ...her kuhu kuhu bole spoke of such classical training that I didn't witness in a lot of elders ....I supported her thruout and was glad that she won but I never failed to witness Rohanpreet's gradual improvement and how Vasundhara and Amir rendered some songs ....
Amir has improved a lot and here I am wholeheartedly supporting Amir but I am not muslim ....I am supporting him because Anamika , though I consider best should not be the champ and I know Zee will take her to top 3 or 4 and then will eliminate her ...that's fine ...I think amir , Rohan or Vasu ..sp Rohan preet and Amir should get the chance as rohanpreet has maintained his standard and Amir is singing very well and improved a lot too ....But as u said Amir can perform in one genre like Raja very well....But to be the champ u don't have to sing in all genres ..u simply have to sing well...but versatility does count too...
I used to enjoy coming in this section but now this section has also become like some other reality show forums .....show biasness and bash others favs if they dare to differ from u ......
I am also sorry if I offended someone but I also felt I had to voice my opinion....
Just my 2 cents 😛

In total agreement with you jaan! There is no denying that people support with thier whole heart people of the same ethnicity and religion. Its very much set in people's mind and we can't change thier mentality. I myself am Sikh punjabi and I know the punjabi community voted with thier jigar for Rohanpreet. And Bengalis for Anamika, and Muslims for Aamir. A lot of bais is present.

But Rohan, Anamika, and Aamir, and I think Tanmay for his smart talk and his stage performaces, and even Vasu for her very touching singing deserve it. Rohanpreet always gave steady performances, and some of them were total magic. Sonu ji was a fan of his style, and Suresh ji also praised him, but they also pinpointed his mistakes. Aamir I think his one of the most soulful singers, I remember Sonu ji supported him a lot, but I remember he said to him, that Aamir that he needs to pay attention, distractation was a big problem. Anamika did not catch everyone eye at first, but then she also created magic. Tanmay was known more for his smart talk, and his commerical. Vasu was just okay, only a few times was I moved. I used to watch her her in New York, when she used to come come to shows to promote awareness for certain issues. Smita, I think she is okay, but I think Anamika beats her in singing.

I also very much dislike bashing, when not working with any evidence.
