SONU'S VIEWS- Voting Patterns

'Indian Idol' judge, Sonu Nigam lashed out at the voting public accusing them of regional bias. "We made the same mistake a long time back when British ruled us. We cared only about our region or state. Why do people forget that they are Indians first and then, Bengalis or Himachalis or Marathis," said an exasperated Sonu when talented Antra voted out from IL2 this week and Anuj declared safe.......

I agree with him.. I am afraid samething happend in SRGMP this year.. according me NIHIRA was the most deserving candidate to win this prestigious contest.. Debu is talented but not as talented as Nihira,Hemu or vinit, even Himani had something new to offer..

After seeing Talented Antra elimination last night i felt very bad and shocked to see Anuj who is singing badly in every gala safe.. I agree with SONU's views..

Do you think these musical contests losing their credibilities because Regional voting.... 😕😕... do we have any soultions to make true,deseraving talents win????

Any comments.....

No solution. What can't be cured has to be endured. This kind of injustice will go on.

Mark my words, we will see Anuj and Sandeep as Final 2 in II2. 😆

🤢

just my opinion only, so would want to apologize to all Anuj/Sandeep fans...

In response to your post this was self created by handful off musician with there orthodox mentality cannot blame the regionalism for it, Sonu Nigam greatest benefactor was Gulshan Kumar happened to hear Then Usha Khanna introduced him. Gulshan Kumar happened to hear this and he was asked to sing one more number for him. Please understand it is all about commercial success.

I do not agree about the regionalism if that was the issue then only Bengal or South would have controlled the monopoly of music the fact is they don't. If you all just take a serious look at the voting ratio between Debu and Vinit it is well proven that Music has no boundary in INDIA that was proven again one more time by Music lover. Yes Debu got from his region and Vinit also got from his but if you take the overall vote it did came from all over the India to me that does not justify Regional voting this regional issue was preemptive shot to discourage singers let say if Vinit was the winner what would be the option and the opinion then. I did pointed out the commercial aspect on this post where you will see that it is all about who you know and what is your background.

Usha Khanna introduced him to sing for the dummy of Aaja Meri Jaan which was Kishan Kumar's film. Gulshan Kumar happened to hear that song. On the October 16, 1992 he sang his very first song O Aasmaanwale Zameen Par Utar Ke Dekh. When Gulshan Kumar heard his voice. He was astounded that he was only 18 years Old, and took him on his belt and his career as a singer started.

In October 1994 he was invited for a playback singer's Antakshari on Zee TV. On this show Purnima and he defeated all the other singers. That's when Gajendra Singh noticed him and proposed that I do close up Antakshari. He wasn't too keen. So he thought of this new concept of Sargam which eventually became TVS Sa re ga ma. The First episode was aired on May 1, 1995. Initially people found it too slow but it grew to become one of the biggest money making shows on Indian television.

Zee TV offered him the job of anchoring SaReGaMa, a program that went on to become a benchmark for musical programs ever after. Sonu got to interact with the big names in music, both commercial and classical. Wanted was a break in the arena of playback singing. It is all about commercial success.

Thanks for posting a good topics hope we all will get some good out of this issue of Regional voting.

Agreed thanks

I agree, hariyana hurrican... lucknow ki shehajada, kolkatta ki ladli, silchari ki debojit... Host should stop saying these things.. region comes with introdutions...

It will go on. Channel like to make money so they will encourage the voting. They just cant stop public voting. It will go till the value of the program is very low (i mean when ppl know there is no point in voting) then channel manager will find some other trick. Bad. very bad.

You are so right. But again when comes to regional voting I will not buy that because it will never happen in INDIA. regional issue was preemptive shot by few MD, this issue was never ever there in INDIA.
