Getting Asma and Tarun in for Brahmastra round literally proved as "wild" cards!! They deliberatley avoided Arshad, Sayon, Anupama and Jenice from that round to make it easier for Asma to get in. Then they showed Manisha lost to Asma!! Manisha, a very good singer who hails from Calcutta, losing to Asma - who would buy that?! They should have brought Jeffrey in that round instead of Asma, and he would have done a great job - his singing is superb, I have watched him on SRGMP 2008 USA.
Now if they are going to have a second wild card round, they better bring in Mitika, Naina, and Kaushik at least, even if they leave out Arshad, Sayon, Manisha, and all. Whoever votes for Asma can buy all her CDs and lose in her 'asynchronous' voice for the rest of their lives, but I wont take it even if they are given away for free! Anyone else on the show can do a way better job than her!!
Thanks Akanna, makes lot of sense because having Asma (don't take me wrong) in the competition is a joke because everyone voting needs to realize that this is singing comp and not whom you like as a person, because if you can't sing you can not have your album sold in the market. Asma is a good person but a good person is not going to sell CD's and make money for the promoter.
