very sad sigt

I watch this program very avidly and since i live in USA i saw the show today with all the commotion. Let us take a step back and without emotions try and rationalize what happened. I am not a supporter of any participant and dont favour one over the other. It watched in disbelief what happened on that show. I just wanted to comment on a few things.

If we play any game like in any sport a player cannot midway say they dont like the rules of the game. If they choose to do so they forfeit. This is a game to with some pre-defined rules. You play the game within the boundary of those rules. If somebody got extra votes from a certain region then as long as it is within the defined rules it is ok.

Every state in India is important. There is a reason why people speak different languages and there is a reason why there are states in first place. Every state is unique and different and equally important. We don't need to get nationalistic on even small miniscule issue like voting on a TV show.

Networks should try and get away from such cheap publicity and stunts. They might get ratings but the show as such looses respect. As audiences we should shy away from networks and shows which play on emotions and dervive such thrills.

Last but not the least this is a singing talent show. The only thing that should matter is how a person sings rather than their love life or their parents or whatever emotional thing there is in this world or whatever is wrong in their lives. News flash maximum people have problems in this world. Let the contenstants bring emotions out of people from their singing rather than stories. One more reason that there is so much voting on regional basis is because the show keeps stressing the fact as to where the participant is from and how much each region voted for them even though it is peoples prerogative from any region to vote for whoever they want and how many times they want.

How about having a show which is just about singing and the audience is pretty mature so how about showing us some respect by not going for cheap thrills and ratings.

I agree...If they are worried about India's voice. The mentors & contestants should not have been asking for regional votes. Himani asked from NCR, Rajeev asked from Himachal & Punjab. Now AS is the one who is talking about India's voice! & about Sympanthy votes....
Well Vinit & his stupid mentor have been creating sympathy for his so called "love" since ages. Vinit has been talking about what he promised to his mom. Himani tried with her "vote for girls"; while Hema (to a much lesser extent though) tried with have to do it for his parents. Each one of them has been trying to gain sympathy vote one way or the other. So no fault of Debo. Audience has been voting with their hearts since the beginning, it always happens when you let people vote. Whats the big deal now. If they accepted it in the beginning, they should accept it now too. Personally, I think Nihira & Hema were the best; & public voting should have been stopped when they reached last 5. But if we are going that route, everyone should acceptthe limitations & go with the final result.

I was seriously shocked by the little "natak" by the three participants. I really enjoyed watching this show, everyone sang really well, and compared to the other singing talent shows, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa is the best.
Hema, Himani and Vinit showed how petty and ungrateful they are for receiving an opportunity to showcase their god-given talent. I was reading what some other people said in other topics, and there are millions of people who would have loved to get the opportunity to "make it big" and these three are complaining about not getting the most votes.
Debo got the votes from the NE, and its not his fault. I don't agree with the emotional ploy for votes, but there is no need to name the percentage of votes from which states. They agreed to the format, and they shouldn't complain about it now, its ridiculous. If they were upset about Nihira they should have said it last week when they were performing.
But I'm really speechless at what happened.
