I'm willing to bet that if we put all these contestants together and select a jury of professionals (singers, music directors), Qazi would come last in such a competition.
He should really thank the Indian public who obviously know very little about music and Sur. They only vote on looks and dancing ability.
It's no co-incidence that repeatedly people throw darts at Qazi and only Qazi and none of the other winners of any other contest (Qazi doesn't even come in the same league as Abhijeet Sawant). Ofcourse Qazi apologists would continue to say he's the best (best at what? ruining a song?). I just do not wish to see him perform in any more shows on TV. He's nothing but a bathroom singer.
