Some of the other singer behave like their face is singing more than their voice. I am also from hyderabad and I speak much better hindi than most marathi, gujrathi and bihari accents and as good as Delhi people. So, you cannot generalize such things. I always thought SPB has the best playback voice ever in the indian music industry. But because of his accent, he couldn't be successful in Hindi music. Hema is the perfect solution.. I would like to put my money on him.. unless the final round is based on public voting.. Then I can't say. Since our mass junta will land up voting for face value more than talent.
Mano123, you said it wonderfully. Since each of your points is loaded, let me separate them and add further zing to it.

In the same episode as the above, I saw Sharib singing...fine he sang well...he added his (probably) own nuance into it...but...what was he doing...he was showing (off?) on his face that he is making effort (struggle?) to sing the song...

In the beginning of the song, the percussionists, tried to increase (unnecessarily) the tempo of the song. It so amazing to see Hemachandra brought the tempo back to normal. That is something only a trained musician can control. If you don't believe, listen to him once again...

Well, my intention to start this thread was not to have a full-fledged war on accents on us Indians. But to highlight the fact that - donot, repeat, donot generalise or presume the moment you hear a south Indian name that he/she has an accent while singing.
In the initial rounds I was pained to see Aadesh and Jatin Lalit commenting about 'jo southse aathe hain...' and Hemachandra's and Himabindu's accent etc. etc. What the heck??? Guys, grow up. Look beyond your wells. There is much 'tharakki' happening outside your domain/world...

SPB is one of the greatest singers and is close to a living legend. SPB, who I think is from Tirupathi, indeed gave us wonderful hindi hits. Here again I don't want to generalise that his accent is bad. He has sung tens of thousands of telugu, tamil, kannada and malayalam songs and he has a genre of his own. So while singing Hindi songs, he sang in the same genre. Many of those, ofcourse, were hit too.
Hema is the perfect solution.. I would like to put my money on him..
My favourites for the final would be Hemachandra and Debojit...
