I am the Coodinator of Council for Ethnic Minority in England & Wales and also founder of the India America Society in US. I have worked in 8 countries and travel in over 50. I keenly interested in the ZEE programs and personally know a few actor and actresses. I am bit disapointed by the procedure followed in selecting India's voice. First, total reliance on the public Vote. I believe this is wrong as lay man cannot fully judge technical side of the music. Judge opion should have been given some weight. Second, the Voting system does not prevent multiple voting by the same person. Hnce it is not one person one vote rather one dollar one vote. Therefore, he/she who has more dollar wins and also it does not elfit true opion because of inecludibility of multitple voting. Thirdly, I am disappointed by the vicious personal campaign by the mentors who try to marginalise real singers like POONAM YADAV. Fourth I do not approve specific campaing by yout other invitees in the show they should remain neutral.
Finally Poonam has our open invitation to for Visit London and stay with us and we will take care of her expenses.
