Indian Idol and Nepalese Irony

I think we tend to forget sometimes "The World is not Black and White". We are questioning credibility of Prashant Tamang. I have couple of points. Who would you support if one of your brother/relatives is participating there in the place of Prashant with same level of talent? I know it's very cliche to raise this kind of question. Would you still feel that Amit Paul is better than him. Nepalese are voting because they can related themselves with him. Let's come out of the matter of family but let’s think that if Prashant is that bad then why those judges brought him there??. I think they believed that he is equally capable candidate like others. How good judge we are or can be ...what is our basis to like or not like someone? Somewhere we are also biased because we just like somebody. Some may like Prashant due to nationality, some may favor his looks and some may favor his singing style and I also feel that if someone sings my favorite song then I tend to like that person as well. Lastly, let's not forget this is just a Game Show that let people to vote. The format of the program allows all kinds of people from different area with different educational level to vote. Also, it is not the first time; people are showing favoritism in programs like this. I definitely like to see Prashant winning the title and my basis is just that he is so much raw and he could make it this far. If only he had received the classical training like others. I can see him competing with Amit Paul with same level of confidence. They all come from different background. I don't think we can fairly decide who should win the title. It's just a money making business for Producer. I seriously feel that he is getting lot of support not because of nationalism because he also sings well. It's his time to shine. So if you want to support, go for it. If not then let us enjoy the program. Just my views
