In 2005 we had finale happened between 3 guys. Every one did very well until reaching the knock out round and it was obvious that Debo not doing very well at all. Even his mentor/other judges knew what was happening. But he still beat every one else in the knockout round coz the region from where he came voted big time in the SMS polls. On the other hand the two other guys who had done much better than this guy had to fight for the second place. Hemachandra. the states in South India do not even watch hindi programs most of the time. So he was fighting an uphill battle to begin with, the SMS battle, in which every other guy got the majority of votes from his home region. Bottom line he was knocked out of the tournament. This inspite of his excellent performances all through the competition
one can always argue that the victory in these competitions does not ensure future fame and success
will 2007 will have same kind of result like 2005?
