I have seen a lot on this forum abt regionalism and i myself wrote one on why hemu was getting less votes than others, so here it is my friends my logic on what will happen if a particular contestant wins on basis of voting from particular region , well his songs will be permitted to only that region. imagine this, there is this popular band in TN they were selected only from TN and they sing only there, only tam songs, that way see everyone is happy. there are lot of punjabi signers who bring out their albums no prizes for guess where they are more popular, but there are ppl who are loved (in form of votes ) from all over india like hemachandra and his songs are going to be popular all over.
My challenge to all other contestant fans is that, in saregamapa challenge 2006, 30% of the popular songs that the contestants will be singing are by hemachandra, if what i heard is true that subash ghai and ar rehman have given him chance, well, be ready to hear shaan say , contestant xyx is now going to present a song originally sung by our own hemachandra and judges woudl say sorry contestant if u had sung 50% as good as hema, we would have given u a gree card.
NOTE THIS POINT UR HONOUR.
