well have to say I have kinda mixed feelings bout Aneek's elimination 😳...on one hand much as I am disappointed to see a singer of Aneek's calibre being ousted post a phenomenal perf...am not much surprised either coz this was bound to happen sooner or later...😔...now that the public voting fiasco has started...this is inevitable where Bengal is concerned as whenever there is more than one contestant from that region...there is always a dearth of votes...😒

Here Aneek is pitted against Anwesha...who is on the rise...n I was dreading that this... coz even though Aneek has been fairly consistent so far... as viewers we are probably more impressed with Anwesha since she has pleasantly surprised us in more ways than one...don't get me wrong here,they are both my favs & immensely talented...but for the umpteenth time I have seen this happenning in a musical reality show with regards to bong participants...people in Bengal are reluctant voters...n hence the votes are far from being evenly distributed

I dont think this has anything to do with region. I have 2 singers there from my own city and I voted for Anwesha. Its India ka superstar 😊

To each his own I suppose...but am sorry this has a lot to do with the region for sure...it's got nothing to do with the title for crying out loud whether it's India ke Superstar or World ka Superstar for that matter 😆...ya sure people outside Bengal have voted for Aneek & Anwesha as well...leaving aside their regional bias... but when it comes to generating votes with an aggressive stand...the regional support works wonders mostly...but inspite of the fact that music entitle the cultural embellishment of Bengal...the region doesn't score much with respects to the voting fac ...like when Debojit Saha won SRGMP C-2005...even though he was a fairly deserving candidate...it was largely coz he hailed from Assam...n the entire N.East region voted for him...at the time also there were half a dozen singers from Bengal...none of whom could even come close...like someone just pointed out...Aneek's main source of sustenance lies in his hometown but unfortunately he is not the privileged one here...no offence...😛

Nonny. although I don't disagree with what you say, I would like to let you know that both singers have got fan following from different regions. In fact, the appreciation threads for both of them on this forum were opened by ardent fans who are not "bongs" as you call them😆😆😆. Folks like them and gana and so many others have chosen to support them inspite of having some great singers from their own region or religion in shows such as this. A true music lover does not understand language or religion.

Reality shows like this are just like a big game played by the channel. The only goal is to make money. The path to make money is to get votes and the only way to do that is by exploiting the sentiments of the voters. They do that by creating unnecessary drama. The singers and the judges are just game pieces that they manipulate and play against each other to reach their ultimate goal. Of course, the ones who get highest votes reach the top few, but the final winner is pre-decided. Some of us have learned this the hard way and most of us know this at the back of our minds. Yet we spend unnecessary time and energy in bashing the judges or bashing contestants that we do not support and bashing each other. In fact, I would say that we public are also one big game piece in this big game of reality shows and we let ourselves get manipulated by the channel 😳.

No worries Nonny. I knew what you meant. I've been an ardent fan of Anwesha since Chote Ustaad. And since then I've made friends with so many people from different parts of the world that love her so much. They come from different regions and speak different languages. Yet they support her selflessly. It is this experience and friendship that taught me that music knows no boundaries.

My point is just that we all know how these channels work. So why do we let ourselves be manipulated by their conniving ways?
