To vote or not to vote; Is it a fair process?

Yup, I'm all in the hot debate these days too; Is voting really a fair process?
All these talent shows going on these days want the people to vote and choose, and while I think the concept is right, I really can't figure out why it isn't working. Seriously.
Lets face it, Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal, Kunal Ganjawala (who admitted it as well) are here because the judges saw their potential, and saw what they could become.
These days, I feel most votes go out as favours, being from the same region. Talent gets overshadowed.
What are your opinions, ppl?

Something for all the Toshi Fans :)

Yup guyz, he's not disheartened. A strong and humble person he is though.
Here's the interview:

God bless, Toshi; and may you achieve all the success you deserve. Your fans are with you all the way :)

Yes I'm a big Toshi fan *rolleyes*

P.S... It's said he's finiishing a Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan song... and eagerly waiting to listen to the composition?? Details, anyone? :)

Star Voice of India: And the next elimination is (*drumroll*)...

Believe me, I wouldn't have cared 'bout this show had Toshi not been there :P And I'm hoping hard that he's the one who comes back through wildcard...
It surely was unjust that he left so early in the show; I would want him to atleast be in the top 5. I'm not gonna say all out that he has to be the ultimate voice of India, but his talent doesn't deserve to leave this way. There's still a long journey ahead for him. There are a few others who I think (IMHO) don't deserve to sit there. One has no self confidence or performing sense at all, and the other has had a controversy pulled on her twice. And among these people, it was Toshi who had to leave.
Anyways, I do know who the next elimination is, and again, I'm gonna stress that the other two I have semi-mentioned up there should be chucked out first. Oh well... chaos is what you get when a brand new show wants the audience to vote.... xP
