Voting public to be blamed for bad singers coming in Indian Idol

Sony Entertainment Television is strongly denying the rumours going around that there is some rigging going in Indian Idol voting process. An offical source said, "We have a reputed third party organization which audits the voting process, which is very fair. People are wrongly blaming us for Emon's and Chang's Ouster, You don't vote for the right singer, and then cry about a lesser person coming ahead. Prashant has a sizable number of people in his home area and the police force who are voting en block , so he is winning." The source went on, "Don't the judges (Alisha wanted to walk out ) also complain about audiences voting pattern? Although Emon was a good singer, we alway knew that he will be out, because he did not have required public support."On the question of making the vote figures public, our source said, "The format(
Indian idol is international format) does not allow for the same . And secondly, if we do give the voting figures, will it not affect the next rounds result?". Taking a dig at the opposition, the source further went on to say that both those shows(Sa Re Gama SVOI) are homegrown and could have had the judges saving the contestants( which we cannot do, due to above format restriction) , but even then they prefer to ape us. When reminded that something similar had happened during Qazi victory in Fame Gurukul2, the source empathetically denied any wrong doing even then too. "We Indian's like the underdog and support him, hence Qazi came ahead..
So please vote for your favorite contestant rather then just crib.

Indian idol is such a great platform to bring the hidden talents of great singers of the nation such as prashant, amit,abhisek,emon,chang,deepali,parleen,ankita,charu and pooja.They are all good singers.we can't blame the public as bringing bad singers as i already told they are all equally good and they are all best they are all indian idols in quality.Ofcourse they have their own thing of speciality.But as a whole each and every body of them can entertain anybody.aLL All that differ in between them is their look which is very natural,their style,their community.And its natural for any community to support one of the 10 best singers which one is from their community.

If the view of the four judges on the stage differ so badly.Alisha always seem to support somebody blindly.she is going to praise the one she likes no matter if he does mistake in the singing.and she opposes the 1 she doesn't like if he gives the best performance.such behaviour of her was also clearly felt in the last gala round..Similarly its natural for the people to vote their liked one.If prashant is so popular among people then he has something,his voice has something,his attitude has something more then the fact that he could be from their community.It doesn't mean that amit is less popular.So i guess among the top 9 nobody is a bad singer whoever be the idol.

Amit Paul should be shown the door after getting himself out in the voting rounds. Barring Shillong(barring a few pockets) all from the Northeast(Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam) are voting Prashant enmasse. I dont think fans of Prashant should be jittery.
