but what about home support for BS and UA?
fwiw, i feel that sharib is an excellent singer, ALL my jibes against him in all my posts notwithstanding. he might not APPEAL to me, but OBJECTIVELY i think he might be as good as any of the other males we've had in c2005 or emaet, and he deserves all the home support he can muster. wld be actually happy for him if he won. ditto for aish, who i feel is very good and has versatility.
conversely for ujjaini. as good as they come. fwiw, i think her voice is even sweeter than himani and nihira who i believe were otherwise the best females. just my opinion.
but bunjo? here's all i will say- as a desi working overseas, i'd be ashamed of myself and question my own ethics if i supported someone i thought was incompetent just because they happened to be a fellow desi. i like her as a person, but she is too far behind in my estimation as a singer to merit home support. my POV
