Dear Sanbel - If you were saying - singing competitions should not be

But yr whole approach of selecting out only *one* segment of voters and
one candidate doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
BTW, *everyone* has the right to vote multiple times for the same
candidate on this show. The playing field is level. Debo has no more
advantage than anyone else on that score. If Nihira fans like u had been
motivated enough to sit down and redial away like crazy, u would have
nothing to complain about. (Same goes for you Ms. gurly grrrl. If VnIT is
da Besstt, u shoulda voted for him like crrrazy, insteada complaining
now).
In fact, I suspect the voters from Bombay and Delhi probably have more
discretionary income to blow on repeat smsing, better access to phones
and phone lines than ppl up in the NE. Given all these disadvantages
Debo has, if he is able to attract such faithful fans as his, then more
power to him.
The minute you put a decision about singing talent in the hands of the
general public, it automatically becomes, to some extent, a popularity
contest. Some degree of voting without attention to the quality of the
singing will be par for the course.
And, although I have found myself disagreeing with the public vote on
occassions in this competition the fact is that *even when they had
judges*, I would find myself disagreeing with their verdict at times.
Judges can have biases too, after all. I mean Alka Yagnik red-carded
singers coz they didn't keep their eyes closed while singing fer
chrissakes!
In the end, there is no way to guarantee an absolutely fair result for the
simple reason that life isn't always fair. We'll never know how many
prodigies were turned away at the audition stage itself!
Given the above, your braying and whining about Debo and the NE just
sounds kinda silly... not to mention discriminatory, arrogant and
downright obnoxious.
thanks.

Hi Guys this is my first Posting !!! Could'nt resist to register myself and post this link which i came across,

There is this one guy called sanjeev who itseems has developed a utility that keeps doing an internet voting continuosly. Here this guy "loraku" claims that he has voted 25000 votes in one single night through the Internet.
