Someone in the show said "this is voice of India" not "Voice of Assam", Does he or she know that Assam is part of India and not china? U call urself a proud Indian without knowing its geography, without knowing what makes India.
What is wrong if people of North-east liked Debo's songs and wanted him to win ? Do you mean to say Votes from North-east have lesser importance than your state because its richer ? You should have advised to change this selection policy rather than blaming North-East or Debo. Where did u get the report that ULFA pressurized people to Vote for Debo ? If that is true, who stoped bigger states like yours to vote ? I believe you need to change your attitude before trying to change anything else.
Clearly Debojit is not in the same league as other 3 contestants. Everyone knows this. How can a person be on the top based solely on the basis of one state ? Does that mean rest of India doesn't understand music ? There are reports of ULFA pressuring Assamese to vote for Debojit, and that alone can explain how someone not as good as him can get more votes than much more talented Himani, Vineet and Chander from rest of India as well as their much bigger and richer cities/states. Look at number of singing assignments that Hemani has bagged compared to Debojit. Ismail Durbar is clearly using some deplorable tactics to make this show into him personal battle.

Dear A.Agarwal&others, I'm very much pained to learn that the attitude of the educated citizens of rest of INDIA still harbour the the feeling that we,the NORTHEASTERS aren't as good as them in any field.The remaks made by you& others clearly reflect that.All India is watching that ASSAM's DEBOJIT is putting up the highest level of performance in the coveted SA RE GA MA PA contest & getting votes too.Some are saying that DEBOJIT is getting bulk of his votes from NORTH EAST,which though is an integral part of INDIA(some seem to undermine this fact).I'd also like to see them the stats of VINIT's & HEMACHANDRA's votes.Their regions have also belted out the maximum votes for them.DEBOJIT has surpassed VINIT in most of the performances in special episodes(while VINIT got subdued by SUNIDHI CHAUHAN,DEBOJIT perfectly matched SHREYA GHOSAL in their respective duets)I agree that VINIT is also a very talented singer,but you all are underminig DEBOJIT's talent.You all try to link anything from our region with terorism whih is so maen of you.We are also as good as you in any field ,time has come to show this& I assure that you will soon get to know this. ABHI
hey Himani, u seem to be a very challenging girl....be yourself, yaar,accept challenges and hardships....plzz dont let go of your principles....u hav been my favourite ever since i bgan watchn da prog.i luv u, man....dont let people use u, to fulfill their own petty needs.stay focussed.keep up ur good work.take care.u r the best, man, ANY DAY......CHEERS....
Saregamapa has been a wonderful stage for aspiring singers and it has been a great show to watch all these years because of the talents that it has produced. The last episode where the contestants walked out was one anomaly in an otherwise decent show.I think the whole idea of public voting is rubbish and should be thrown away since saregamapa is a talent show and not a popularity contest(like Indian Idol). Anyways, I hope that this show will return to its original format. One thing is very clear that the contestants of this show are far better than the ones from Indian Idol. I hope the show format also returns to its old format which will help Saregamapa in arresting the fall in its standard.
Sa re ga ma right from its inception always showcased very talented singers, unlike a few other music programmes. Its anchors and judges have always been of a certain musical class. So its Challenge programme, naturally, is of a high order. Though the gharana classification, right or wrong, seems to have unfortunately divided singers, there is no doubt at all that of the entire scenario, Ismail Durbar is the most gifted and creative. It is also true that, he's the most emotional and uncontrollable one . Yet, too much should not be made out of it. And yes, Nihira, most of us thought was indeed the best singer of all, and one does wonder what went wrong that she was voted out, and Hemchandra, an average singer, continues to win! Vinit is indeed good, but so is Debojit. The behaviour of the other 3 singers after Debojit's selection was incorrect. One hopes Ismail Durbar will keep his word, and make Nihira sing in his forthcoming films. She has it in her to make it really big. Not to forget Shaan- a charming host, and Gajendra Singh, a very fine producer;despite a few hiccups in the current Challenge show, it is still the best music show on T V today. Surekha, TV
Please don't make politics with music.I know it is very difficult to choose one candidate from three talented singers,but unanimous decision to be taken from public and a famous,knowledgeble musician.Afterall we are waiting for some good singer.But I am really sorry for Nihira,Ujjwayini,Swananda,Raktima-they should get exposure.Long live Sa,Re Gama,Pa. Thanks. Dr.SuparnaGhosh.M.D,D.N.B (Oncologist)
quitting of darbar ji was justified coz' not only nihira was voted out but also coz despite singing so well both tadap tadap and ishq ishq they gave 6-7 to debojit, although the impartial judge(jatin ji) gave him 9, this was very very unfair. next, the drama rest of 3 did was really sad, i used to love their singing but can an artist do such drama? they walked out only after debojit got max votes, if theyhas pressure they coud not have come at all for the show, why create such a scene and make one of co participants feel like that and everyone shocked. i think this was all done by himani and her influence, there was no pressure, it was all done by these 3 themselves out of jealousy for debojit, i now hate himani for her deed.

Hey Shweta.. it was not only a drama dear. that was feeling of mr. Darbaar.. well forget it .. jo huwa accha huwa
First of all, I Congratulate to Gajendra Singh and his entire team for having such a wonderful show. I am watching this show from many years with my family since you started this show. I think what happened on TV. live show should not happened because what we are teaching our children nothing but dirty politics. I hate to say that It is like wresting show not real music competition show. I request Z TV. that before it happen again take care this problem in advance. Z TV. is the best chanel on Indian Television. What happened in Fame Gurukul that is happening here. Continue doing the good work. If somebody try to ruin the show do not let them participate again. And that is penalty. I don\\\'tknow it is real threating or to getpublic more attention. I am sending this message because I care about Z TV.Please continue doing the good show. God bless Z TV. and all the staff to work better. Please reply me about this message. Thank you very much and have a Good Day. Indravadan Kapadia U. S. A.
