After the hungama of Amey being voted out on Indian Idol, the remaining contestants were shaken up. Their faith in the public diminished and they each hoped that the best and most deserving singer be retained on the show.
Karunya was the first to speak up after the shoot, as he felt that after Amey, it would be he who would be voted out next. "For Sandeep and Anuj to have reached this point, it is a big thing. They have surprised audiences and themselves. But now after Amey leaving I feel I have no real competition," said Karunya. "As for the voting system, I feel that it would have been better if the judges only voted. I don't know even if I still believe in the system. I feel that Amey might have missed out because Maharashtra's votes were distributed between him and me. I feel losing him on the show is one of the biggest losses for Indian Idol."
Sandeep seemed to be a quiet spectator as the audience and judges rose against the results and walked off the stage. Though he was shocked by the result, he sat and watched the drama unfold before him like any other spectator. As for the voting system, he still has faith in the public's opinion and said " Sonuji has supported me throughout and has said that I have a clean boyish look. I think this must be working for me."
Anuj was in the thick of controversy as the judges openly supported Amey in front of him. However, he said that everything happened so fast that he couldn't even think straight until the show was over. "I felt later that I should have walked off the stage instead of the judges and should have offered my place for Amey. I wanted to tell him that he deserved my place, but could not at that moment because I was so dumbfounded," said Anuj. "As for the voting system, it is a format of the show and if a rematch must be held for Amey I think it should have also been held for other great singers like Meenal, Antara, Monali and others."
