Hi!
First of all, let me clarify that I'm not a supporter of any party- every week I vote only on the basis of singing. So pl. consider the following points coolly-
1) Do you all really think that kids of 17-18 are bold enough to stage a walkout without even asking their mentors in the live audience in front of so many people. That too without a rational explanation. Everyone was expecting the other to explain. Comeon, they have been on TV for the 1st time. None has such guts, and they are not fools that on one hand they are trying to create a good image in the eyes of the people( by saying that they will do things for children etc. etc.) and then they will openly disgrace themselves by behaving in such a manner.
For a moment, think like the maker of a show. The channel is concerned with TRP's. Such news has given a boon to TRP. So what I feel is that the children have been told to behave like that, either by the makers or by someone else. And I have a reason to believe this- every person associated with the show is giving a diff. answer to the big Q- why the children walked out. One person says that b'coz they have been threatened by ULFA. GS says that it is a ploy of one of the mentors (that too openly, mind you, without thinking that this statement could infuriate the mentor and he would leave the show right in the middle- is that practical???).
Coming to the role of media- newspapers have all come across with diff. articles, some papers say thst children objected from his getting max. votes from Assam. Who knows if it is true??? It was AS who said that maybe this is the reason, and then the audience started shouting. The children did not say anything (again proving that they had nothing to say- it was all framed- why didn't they put their views forward if they were so angry???) I have always believed that one rumour leads to another, maybe the newspapers are creating a hue and cry out of this whole issue because of the regionalistic issue that the audience and AS brought out.
I will not say anything about the behavior of their family members cos that will start another debate. None of us know the truth. And who knows what a person feels from inside.
Think about it very coolly- 3 good singers are not so immature enough to risk the good image they themselves have created, that too without consulting the mentors. They are not so camera friendly pl.
And yes, before i forget- I read in one of the articles that GS says that this incident has spoilt the reputation of his whole show. If such is the case, why was such an embarassing episode shown, why not edit it or cancel it, or for one week replace it with a film or movie. It has happened before also.
Pl. Think carefully without being biased. The whole of this thing appears more like a TRP drama than a reality show, and the expressions of thier family members- obviosly they weren't told about it. Maybe they took it for real. And that is why all that fighting and bitching took place.
PS- I don't intend to get a lot of praise for all this. But I know that there is a lot of untruth in this channel rivalry and media show. Please vote for the best voice only, and do not consider any type of cheap provocations and stuff!
And yeah!
Damn to the people who want to break up my India. HUM SAB EK HAIN! Consider it from the fact the I have studied in Orissa, born in Maharashtra, father and mother are from Chattisgarh and I am currently in Rajasthan. So on this forum, at least, do not bring up and India- Assam issues. All the remaining 3 are excellent. The one who wins will only be called lucky, cos talent is something they all (including Nihira, Sharib, and many others) possessed.
SO LETS VOTE ONLY FOR MUSIC!!!
(I hope my speech was not very long!)
