I think Amanat got a raw deal.He was a better singer and performer, but lost only because the contest was held in india.Ismael D. was sucking upto HR all throughout and HR has started believing that he is a superstar.I think most of the stars are created by the hype of the PR machinery eg.Abhishek Bachchan.Just read the page 3 items of any newspaper and you get bullshit news of nonentity 'celebs'.HR will also fade away as soon as he stops paying the PR guys.
