nobody has the right to make any communal statement about anybody. be it the recent Indian idol or anybody. the RJ's remark is very cheap.I protest such cheap behaviour on the part of the RJ and should make a public apology.
But what I as a professional musician, playing music for the past 27 years, dont accept is that there should not be any communal / regional appeal for voting.
And I am shocked by our national understanding of evaluation of one's artistic skill set.Amit Paul any time has a better voice, texture and all that is required to have won the contest.But by this I dont say Prashant Tamang is not good.
But in comparision, Amit Paul is ,any time, a better singer.
