    I would want Prashant to win eventually.. AND,
    I can bet that Prashant is going to win!
    I love all 3 voices...but what i admire most abt Prashant is that he is not a trained vocalist or singer, and despite severe criticism from the judges, he is calm, he has improved a great deal in singing and his performance, no big drama and tears and no extreme emotion like all other drama kings n queens of indian idol 3 top 10's. He is naively innocent, one singer whose voice makes our hearts melt. General people love his nature, his smile, and are appreciating his efforts.
    They know that he is the one who can excel far better if given the opportunity.
    Despite all the inside politics going through SONY and what not ( they tried all possible ways to let his popularity down because they want a POP sensation to market their sales.. someone like Emon, who is good looking, and Ankita, who is a solid performer: They made Prashant act like a security guard so that his own fans would turn him down, failed to mention his code and didnt even mention that SMS code is changed after his perfomance in 10th gala, religion/region n nationality biased judges who do not see how far he has come or has achieved but instead try pulling his leg .. etc), it is his soothing voice, gentle nature and carefree attitude that allure the general people! It is not true that only people from his region or his local people are voting for him enormously. The whole of india has this opportunity to choose their IDOL. They have chosen him so far because of these rare qualities that the other contestants do not possess and not just because only the people from Darjeeling or police force or his fans are voting for him enormously.
    If given the time and opportunity and even 2/5th of the vocal training that Emon or Amit had, Prashant can become the no. 1 singer in India...
    I personally feel that his voice reminds me of kumar sanu and that I feel that i would not miss kumar sanu that much when I listent to him.

    THanks for reading...

    hay prashant tamang
    u r the next indian idol.....
    all the best from all nepalese ppl
    and this is for u only u prashant
    DON'T QUIT

    When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
    when the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
    when the funds are low and the debts are high,
    and you want to smile but you have to sigh,
    when care is pressing you down a bit - rest if you must,
    but don't you quit.

    Life is queer with its twists and turns.
    As everyone of us sometimes learns.
    And many a fellow turns about when he might have won had he stuck it out.
    Don't give up though the pace seems slow - you may succeed with another blow.

    Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man;
    often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cup;
    and he learned too late when the night came down,
    how close he was to the golden crown.

    Success is failure turned inside out - the silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
    and when you never can tell how close you are,
    it may be near when it seems afar;
    so stick to the fight when you're hardest hit - it's when things seem worst,
    you must not quit.

    Hello Prasanth

    I was looking at the finalists of the Asian Idol when I first came to know you. And your voice...I just fell in love with it...so haunting and so beautiful. I'm a Chinese from Malaysia and I dont understand a word of your song but I keep listening to all your songs today. You're a real GREAT SINGER!
