i have been watching Star Voice Of India and Sa Re Ga Ma pa also. Overall, Indian Idol does not stand up to Sa Re Ga Ma or Star Voice Of India as regards quality of singers is concerned. In fact Star Voice Of India seems to have identified the best singing talent in the country. I feel deciding on who is better on the basis of public votes has to be done away with. The judges should have the final say. I know they cant afford to do away with public voting as this is the source for their income. Nevertheless, panel of eminent judges who have knowledge on music should be the final deciders.

They can have 2 catagories of winners- viewers choice on the basis of public voting and judges' choice based on panelists views.

You are absolutely right. SVOI has a quality -- all going excellent. Everyone performing excellent. Toshi should be back in race. He had a great voice as well as expression through his voice.
Indian Idol is just a commercial show. Though I like Simon's (am I right with the name?) way of sunging. Good.
