hie,,,i ve not read the earlier responses,,,,bt as per my opinion as i ve voted for judges),,,,i think tat votin is not da rit means of findin out a winner coz we ve seen it many a times tat a contestant wins not on the basis of his talent bt on da only reason that his COMMUNITY is very supportive,,,,to shed as many votes to keep the person of their CASTE in the competition,,,,,along wid this we all mus hav cum across a contestant askin for votes from his/her particular community,,,so i strongly feel dis is nt the rit way,,,,,judges , if unbiased, are the best measure of performance,,,,,,but who can stop channel walas to stop this messagin thing ch is helpin dem to earn crores of rupees.:big_grin::big_grin:
