Well said, Jugni, about the unfairness.No one blames Hemant or holds him responsible for what happened (at least I don't). And I definitely think that he would've beaten Vishnumaya in a fair face-off too. But it wasn't fair.
- First, Vishnumaya was demoralized by Monali saying Akhtar Bros were better than her.
- Then she was given very little time to prepare and the song she chose wasn't really the right one given that she was facing Hemant who's a fan favorite.
- She had to do 2 performances in a day whereas Hemant only had one song to prepare. Ok, this maybe the format of the show, but still, it does not put them on equal footing.
- Then the voting closed early for her, her performance was truncated. The judges voted at the very last minute and many from the audience couldn't vote since the voting closed with no warning. That counted as negative votes for Vishnumaya. Has she ever scored as low as 75%? This was her lowest score and it wasn't as though her singing was bad or anything. Yes, Hemant was clearly better but she wasn't bad. Voting closing early has got to be a factor why she got such low votes.
Hemant would've probably won the Ticket anyway, but at least Vishnumaya would've lost by a more respectable margin.
