I don't agree with the sports analogy. If India is playing against Nepal, I will definitely support Nepal, but my support will not have direct impact on the outcome of the game. Whichever team plays better wins the game (who knows Nepal might have a better day and India an off day) But in this competition, your support has direct impact in the results. And if Indian Idol show is about finding the best singer of the competition, then are we doing justice by casting votes to the person who we know is not the best?? If one really thinks that Prashant is the best among the singers left in the competition, then it makes sense to vote him as many number of times as one likes, but if not, don't make someone an Indian Idol if he doesn't deserve it.
