Vijay TV should seriously review and change the selection process. Especially multiple votes from a single subscriber should be disallowed (should not be used as a means to make revenue). Moreover all SMS votes returned probably because of network congestion (probably all votes outside of local circle would not have made it). We need to make sure all access types are equally reliable before deciding on voting methods.
It can probably be a mix ( at least 50% of the weightage should be given to the judges so that Service Provider can make some money out of this).
Satyaprakash was truly amazing and his music was soulful and clearly above others in terms of performance.
