Reasons for appreciating debo:
1. Most soothing voice (Hemu's voice was unique and powerful, true - but debo's voice has that touch of elegant tenderness that is hard to beat).
2. Versatility - In agnipariksha, he sang songs out of his usual genre (soft romantic numbers) and outclassed most other contestants in that respect (only Hemu and Nihira achieved a similar feat)
3. Superb personality and attitude - The only contestant to maintain his cool and forgiving attitude after facing unfair treatments one after after another -from 'mentors', rude sector of the audience (might have guessed who I implying, etc.), walkout of fellow contestants...
Note: I used the word mentor in quotes since mentor implies someone who leads by example in both talent and behavior. HR and definitely AS did not fit that category (at least not in SRGMP 2005). So in other words, debo had to stand up against mob-minded people hiding behind a veil of mentor's title.
