Prashant is Safe. I m very happy for that. And, He needs to rock the coming show. Emon should be out anyhow and despite of having negative comments from javed budho, Prashant will win the title. Let us all vote for him and Wish him all the best. After all, We r great gorkhali- Nepali.
Friends I am tired of reading about PRASHANT is good singer, have a good melidious voice, was in top four due to his regional votes etc etc. I would like to give you some of the reasons why PRASHANT deserves to be in top 4. 1. From the very beginning to the start of PIANO round, who choosed him. Thats from Judges. I think noone argue on this. So up to this extent everyone supports he is good enough. 2. From PIANo round, I think everyone is watching the show and I suppose everyone noticed he never got the worse comment compared to others. I found sometime judges comments is very good for him and sometimes average. In everyshow there are two to three contestants has worse comment then him. But the fact is that the person who has worse comment got more votes and found to be stayed in the show and the person who got best comments was voted out. Why the person of worst comment saved everytime. So there is more factors playing on this show for others then in prashant. Just for EMON in last show, he got worst comment as copying of SONU, not perfect etc and Chang got the best comment but the result is as with you now. 3. If we count the regional voters, then nepalese is very much less than bengali for EMON, bihari for ANKITA, the northeastern people for AMIT etc. Except people in Darjeeling, Skim all nepalese went there for working, who is very very poor people in their backgournds in Nepal, I don't beleive they vote for Prashant or any other contestants. Recently I heard that the mobile network in Darjeeling and skkim is the poorest and just installed some years back which doesn't have much capacity to transfer big number sms in the same time. Beside that one sms cost Rs 3, I don't believe the average people sends 100s of sms everyweek with his own money. The people who has the capacity to send 1000s of sms has not time to react on idol things. With this reasons I don't believe he is in top 4 due to ethinic votes, I strongly feel he deserves, he has own style of singing at the time others are found to be copying others. And I do beleive he will win this title.
Hello Friends, It's nothing to do with my views. I found it in somewhere in the blog site. I thought it might be interesting analysis. Thank you.
HOW PRASHANT GETS VOTES
1. The biases of judges:
Yesterday Sonu Nigam began the show with a lecture to Janta. His message was clearly directed at Prashant's voters. Javed Akhtar did the same couple of times before. People feel insulted with such lectures. They have their own mind and such comments from the judges only ignite their love for Prashant furthermore. Hence they passionately vote for Prashant.
Also the judges pointed out that the song was easy. But the theme was pop song and Prashant's choice was not at all easy one. There were only three genuine pop songs yesterday- the ones that Prashant sang, Chang sang and Ankita sang. Others had elements of classical melody and thus gave an extra edge to the singers. But as Javed is prejudiced against Prashant from within, he brought that easy song stuff. This negative attitude quickly fuelled a sense of vulnerability/insecurity to Prashant's voters. And they voted for him crazily.
2. The stereotyping of the Nepalese in India:
Nepalese Indians, Gurkhas and other Nepalese have significantly contributed for the good of India since centuries. They have fought for India in wars. They have highly contributed in saving lives of the Indian public during 1947 hindu/muslim riots. They have loyally served for the Indian bosses, whether it is in the Army or in the business sector or in the household or street jobs. But in return, they have most of the times received stereotypical banters and humiliation. This unites all the people of Nepalese origin in India for a single cause, whatever it is. Prashant is immensely benefiting from this unity and rightly so.
3. The overlooking of Darjeeling:
After the British left India, Darjeeling has been ignored by the central government. Darjeeling's tea is one of the most rewarding exports of India, and as much a proud symbol. But very little effort has been made for the uplifting of Darjeeling's living standard. Development has lost its pace too. The movement for autonomy was crushed and while Jharkhand, Uttaranchal were granted a state status, Darjeeling's effort was blocked. This also fuels to the frustration of Darjeeling people. They want to see their presence being felt in the central level. And Prashant has, probably for the first time, represented the whole India for Darjeeling. This is a matter of great pride for the Darjeeling people and therefore they vote for him as much as they might be doing now.
4. The bad name for Indian police:
Indian police is also always discredited for its efforts. To maintain law and order in such a big country is a huge huge task. But neither the member of the public, nor the Indian intellectuals respect the police as much as they deserve. Their salaries and benefits are far less than what other public servicemen are getting. The police service is mocked and humiliated time and again. Hence when Prashant takes the stage on behalf of the Indian police, it is a matter of great pride for them. Atlast one of their own is in the media for good reasons and they must be so happy. I don't think any police official is voting for others than Prashant and rightly so.
5. Prashant's modesty, appeal and soothing voice:
Prashant is so humble, so innocent, and so genuine in terms of character. He is so original. And his smile appeals. He is a good singer too. He has the gifted voice that fits with the melody of hindi music. His alaap is breathtaking. And he has sung the most versatile of songs. With a little bit of theoretical lessons on Indian suur and raag, he can sing all kind of songs brilliantly.
6. The complacency, laziness and greed of other fans:
Sony TV's audience must be in the figures of tens of millions. I am sure there are more supporters of Amit or Emon or even other contestants than Prashant in India. The population of Nepalese in India and the population of police is definitely hundreds of folds lesser than that of others. But Prashant's fans are more serious and they have more at stake than other fans'. It also seems to me that other contestant's fans are greedier than Prashant's fans. Why would they spend money when there's nothing important at stake for them?
However, I firmly believe that Prashant will not win the competition eventually. As more contestants are eliminated, their voters will start voting against Prashant. So when Puja get's eliminated, Emon will get support from her fans. When Chang gets eliminated, either Emon or Amit will get their support. And so does the trend develops. Even if he gets the most number of votes, Sony will intervene and announce a different winner. Sony is not doing so now because if it ousts Prashant today, it will lose a significant sum of money and rating that's coming from his voters at present. But if the votes are rigged in the final or even during top 3 elimination, Sony won't lose too much. The reasons why Sony will not let Prashant to be Indian Idol are as follows:
The public backlash: The majority of Indians cannot accept the fact that someone of Nepalese origin wins the Indian Idol. Same happens if Chang wins the competition. Sony will definitely avoid such backlash. Prashant's weaknesses: Prashant is less a performer and more of a singer. Indian Idol has to perform a lot too. Prashant is not a clever chap. He lacks communicating skills. He cannot connect to the stage audience. His Hindi and English language skills are relatively poor. He is shy and doesn't dance. So he won't be able to sell the Indian Idol brand.
But Prashant will go on to become a noted playback singer in Indian and Nepali music. Because he can sing very well. He is very sincere and down to earth. He is someone who could be trusted. He won't be demanding. He is disciplined, dedicated and loyal. And every music directors love to work with such singers. One day sooner than later, Prashant will be singing some Bollywood hits and I am looking forward to that.
दार्जिलिङ - खारिएको गायन प्रतिभासँगै दर्शकको अत्यधिक भोट पाएकाले शनिबारदेखि टप फोरमा पुग्न सफल भएका छन्- 'इन्डियन आइडल' का प्रतिस्पर्धी प्रशान्त तामाङ । एकै सातामा २२ लाख ३३ हजार भोट पाएका तामाङलाई आगामी शृंखलाहरूमा पनि जिताउन उनको जन्मथलो दार्जिलिङमा नौला-नौला अभियान थालिएको छ । प्रशान्तलाई जिताउन नेपालबाट पनि हूलका हूल फ्यानहरू दार्जिलिङ आउने क्रम जारी छ ।
काठमाडौंका चर्चित हेयर डिजाइनर निलडेबिड कटुवालको अगुवाइमा आएको नेपाली टोलीले चौरस्तामा दुई दिनअघि भव्य कार्यक्रम गरेर जनमत बटुल्यो । 'भोट फर प्रशान्त' अभियानको टोलीमा पप गायक बाबु बोगटी, उद्घोषक राजेश घतानी सम्मिलित थिए । टोलीले स्थानीय संगीतकार मणिकमल क्ष्ाेत्री र शान्ति ठटालका साथमा कार्यक्रम गर्दा प्रशान्त पे्रमी हजारौंको भीड लागेको थियो । संकलित रकम प्रशान्तलाई एसएमएस भोटमा खर्च गरियो ।
त्यस्तै प्रशान्तलाई आइडल बनाउने लक्ष्यसाथ काठमाडौंमा निकै खर्चेर होर्डिङ बोर्डसमेत राखिसकेका निलडेबिडले झापामा पनि केही दिन अभियानै चलाएर रकम बटुलेका थिए । 'सबैतिरबाट जुटाएको पैसा प्रशान्तलाई भोट गर्न खर्चिन्छौं,' उनले भने- 'प्रशान्तलाई जिताउँदै लानु हामी नेपालीको कर्तव्य हो ।' प्रशान्तकै पक्षमा घन्टौं गीत गाएर बोगटीले पनि 'यो बेला सबैले भोट गरेर नेपालीमूलको प्रतिभालाई जिताउनुपर्ने' आग्रह गरेका थिए ।
प्रशान्तलाई माया गरेर एसएमएस भोट गर्न आउनेमा धरानका तामाङ समुदायका सर्वसाधारण धेरै छन् । 'टप टेनमा पुगेदेखि नै आएर भोट दिंँदैछौं,' धरानका विवेक मोक्तानले भने- 'एउटै जाति, एउटै भाषीका प्रतिभालाई आइडल बनाउनु हाम्रो चाहना हो ।' नेपाल तामाङ घेदुङ संघमा आबद्ध धरानका तामाङहरूले पालैपालो तीन पटक आएर झन्डै ४० हजार रुपैयाँको एसएमएस भोट गरिसकेका छन् ।
मोरङको मधुमल्लाबाट आएका सात तन्नेरी मिरिकमा रातभरि जागै बसेर प्रशान्तलाई भोट दिई फर्किए । 'नेपाली मोबाइलबाट एसएमएस भोट प्रभावकारी नभएपछि यतै आएका हौं,' टोलीका अगुवा साइन श्रेष्ठले भने- 'हाम्रो सहयोगले प्रशान्तलाई फाइदा पुगोस् भन्ने चाहना छ ।' गाउँमा विभिन्न स्रोत जुटाएर बटुलेको रकम लिएर प्रशान्तलाई भोट दिन आउने नेपालीमा किसानदेखि व्यापारी, कलाकारदेखि गृहिणीसम्म छन् ।
पूर्वी इलाम र झापाका धेरै युवकयुवती पनि प्रशान्तलाई भोट गर्न सीमाक्षेत्र आएर मोबाइल चलाइरहेका हुन्छन् । 'दार्जिलिङे ठिटालाई आइडल बनाउन यसरी हत्ते गर्नेमा भुटान, सिक्किम, बु्रनाई, हङकङमा बस्ने नेपाली पनि छन्,' प्रशान्तको प्रचार अभियानमा सुरुबाटै जुटेका सञ्चारकर्मी विमल राईले भने । प्रशान्तको गाउँ तुङसुङका बासिन्दाले एउटै हलमा भेला भएर हरेक शुक्रबार राति लाखौं संख्यामा भोट गर्छन् ।
छक्कलाग्दा काम पनि गर्दैछन् फ्यानहरूले । प्रशान्तको प्रचार निम्ति गायकद्वय सागर र किरणले सार्वजनिक गरेको 'लाखों दिलोंका धड्कन' नामको क्यासेट दस हजारमा बिकेको छ । स्थानीय मेरिगोल्ड रिसोर्ट लिमिटेडले एउटै क्यासेटलाई त्यति मूल्यमा किनेपछि भनेको छ 'त्यो रकम प्रशान्तकै लागि भोटमा खर्च हुनेछ ।' खरसाङमा चिट्ठा उठाएर जम्मा गरेको रकमले भोट गरिंँदैछ भने चिया कमानहरूमा चन्दा उठाएर एसएमएस गरिंँदैछ ।
चौतर्फी प्रतिकूलता पार गर्दै २८ हजार प्रतिस्पर्धीलाई उछिनेर टप फोरमा पुग्न सफल प्रशान्तलाई अझ बढी भोट गर्न आग्रह गर्दै दार्जिलिङमा फेरि र्याली निकालिंँदैछ । हिमालय दर्पण पत्रिकाको सक्रियतामा नेपाली भाषीको बसोबास बाहुल्य लखनऊ, देहरादून, सिमला, नयाँदिल्ली, कोलकातालगायत स्थानमा प्रशान्तको जितका लागि हस्ताक्षर संकलन, एसएमएस भोटिङ भइरहेको छ । सिक्किममा सरकारी निर्देशनमै भोट दिने क्रम चल्दैछ ।

नेपालीले दिल खोले पछि कस्को के लाग्नु? पर्यो भने गाउँबाट खसी, कुखुरा, भैँसी बेचेर अथवा रिन खोजेर अथवा एकछाक खाएर पनि भोट हाल्छन्। एस एम एस नै बीचमा अड्क्यो भने अर्कै कुरा, नत्र प्रशान्तले जित्ने पक्का पक्की छ।
जित्न त अली गाह्रै पर्ला; top 3 र final मा पुगे पछि सबै जसो प्रशान्तको बिरुद्ध् नै vote हाल्छन् होला, बरु त्यो emon ले भन्दा amit ले जिती दिये हुन्थ्यो ।
फाइनलमा अङ्किता र प्रशान्त पुग्यो भने प्रशान्तले पक्कै जित्छ। अरुको फ्यानले अङ्कितालाई भोट हाल्छन जस्तो लाग्दैन, मलाई त। तर फाइनलमा अमित/इमोन र प्रशान्त भयो भने अलिक डर हो।
नेपालीको भोटले मात्र प्रशान्त पक्कै त्यहाँ पुगेको छैन। मलाई लाग्छ इन्डियन पुलिस र आर्मीको पनि पुरा सपोर्ट छ। अनि अर्को कुरा, प्रशान्तको फ्यानहरु रातभरि एस एम एस गरेर बस्न तयार छन्। तर अरु कसैको फ्यान त्यति सारो गर्न तयार छैनन् कि। हेरौँ, के हुन्छ।
Ha ha ha ha Man Ppl need to get a fuggig life instead of watching the Shitbox. THis is exactly what the TV programmers wanted and FOLKS HERE ARE LOYALLY FOLLOWING THE HERD. ha ha ha
Some people go to seek their reflections everywhere.
Anyway, here is one more interesting post from: http://www.nintynine.org/2007/archives/will-prashant-tamang-win-indian-idol/
Will Prashant Tamang win Indian Idol?
Sanjaya Malakar also is not a good singer but people said that he went out early from American Idol because he was Indian. It was in America. Americans are considered as one of the developed people of world. Still there is racism. Now Prashanta Tamang, a Nepali native is in the final of Indian Idol. Indians are even more involved in racism. Indians are one of the most undeveloped minded people. I’m seeing Nepal and Nepalese being exploited by them thousand of times in bigger and smaller issues.From personal to bigger issues like current Nepal-India boarder conflicts.
Now you may say, who cares? about all this. Of course they do. They’ve never showed respect to Nepal and Nepali. I dont think they will make a “nepali†guy an “Indian†idol. I have seen only 3 or 4 episodes of this season. But I know how they treat with Prashant. They do not dare call Prashant “Darwan†or “bahadur†or something which are generally used to be said to the poor Nepalese workers in India and which are insulting. And of course you may have heard disgusting comments about Prashant Tamang from Anu Malik. He is the real Indian, racist and a Asshole. He never said it directly but he doesn’t like Prashant Tamang because he is a Nepali.
They have learned a lesson last time when Shilpa Shetty became victim of racism in Big Brother.Now I think Prashant Tamang can only hope same applies to him. I mean if he got sympathy. Shilpa had faced her co-contestants but Prashant Tamang has to face an Asshole Judge hehe. God Bless Prashant Tamang.
Turilkophool Ok I will mind my business. If you break your herd and get a fuggin life instead of being a couch potato. Watching Bollywood movies and making that Indian movie industry richer was not enough ? he he Yeah dun you get Indian Citizenship too while you're at it ? ha ha ha
Why you guys discuss about Prashant's nationality and ethnicity again and again in this thread? Many have answered wisely many times what he is earlier in this thread. Please click back and read them before repeating same argument again and again.
Prashant is an Indian by citizen of Nepali origin and thats the truth. To remain as a Nepali one does not have to have a Nepali citizenship or live in Nepal. There are many many other Nepalese living in different parts of the world (UK, USA, Burma, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Hongkong, etc etc) holding different citizenship but at the end they all feel Nepali in their heart.
So please stop writing/discussing about his nationality here. Instead let's discuss his progress in II3 as this thread is started for in the begining.
