Without undermining any participant, a simple litmus test can prove who sings in tune and who is besura (the common ear cannot differentiate and I guess people dont like listening to the comments of trained musicians :), so a device can be a neutral judge:
Use a "Korg CA-30 Chromatic Tuner" on the recordings of the three finalists. The one who is the most 'besura' will stay in the red zone of the meter for most of the time. The more green the LED the more 'in sur' the finalist is.
The device is available online on GuitarCenter.com or local retailers for about $20 (US).
If we can't do the neutral test, then we should not claim to make sweeping statements about who is Besura and who isnt right :). Unless you claim to be a trained musician yourself.
