frankly speaking, if a person sings well, i think that he just cant aford to be an indian idol, coz indian idol itself is a very big rank, which just a normal person bcoz of singing, jst cant have it. its ok that even in america they got the same competetion on singing, bt my dear friends INDIA is INDIA and AMERICA is AMERICA. our constitiency, democracy, laws, public opinion etc is not as same as in america. i also agrees that abhijeet competited well and became first in so many contestants but does it make sense that a person, who sings well, who is down to earth, jst coz of singing, he is an indian idol. being an india idol he is representing the whole india. he should have been given a title like INDIAN IDOL (NEW GENERATION SINGER), coz we cant offer him INDIAN IDOL (SINGER) coz if we do so, we are doing partiallity with some of our worlds best singers like Lata Mangeshkar, Late Kishore da etc. As per my opinion he is a good singer and let him be a singer only. Thanx. anybdy wants to share his personal view with me can mail me at coz i dont want to hurt anybdys reputation and these are just my personal views. sandeepbhalla@rediffmail.com
