I agree with folks who think Prashant should be careful in choosing songs. I know as long as he gets more votes than the one who gets the least he will advance regardless what he sings or how he sings. However when he nails a popular songs, he will have more voters on his side. I am not sure but I think most of the voters are young. So, he should focus on popular new songs and do the best justice he can to the songs . Singing some superb songs from Suraiya's time may impress judges or a certain group of people but they won't vote so they don't count for now. He can sing whatever he wants later when/if he wins the title. Now, he should be focusing on one thing -- "Votes". I somehow think Puja, Deepali, and many of the gone singers were better than Prashant. But the fact is they are gone and he is still there. Yes, thanks to the voters but he should not rely too much on his existing loyal voters--he should be harvesting support from new voters too. If not he will be back in those streets of Kolkata dragging stick wearing khaki. I want to see him as an Indian Idol not as same old Gorkhe sepoy. He has the chance to rise, and shine and I hope he ceases the opportunity. Best wishes to him.
