Hemu and Himani were 17yrs old too.If not for the regional voting then Hemu would have been in the finals.Hemu always had the addional stress of getting his pronunciation along with his singing right.Where as the other contestants all spoke hindi.He all along sang so fantastically knowing fully well that he may not get good support from the south.It was such a brave and a fantastic effort !Thats true talent! Even when he was eliminated, he was so graceful about it! I dont think Vinit did anything great.
