Altough TV Channels promote this SMS thing because of the extra money through telecom, we cant just give it away as the main theme of the SMS contest is to get the public view. There are some critical issues also related to it which are:
1) State wise grouping: Since it is a Hindi show. Singers like Sreeram who come from a state where not many people watch the show may get less votes. Singers from cities like Mumbai or so will have a tendency to get more votes.
2) Appearance : A topic always under discussion is the X-Fator. The appearance, the look and the attitude of a singer, though no way in relates to his singing, has good amount of impact on the number of votes he gets. So a beautiful singer is much likely to get move votes than an ugly one.
So since not all public know the technicalities of the music. I thing the judgement should be left to the knowledgeable judges.
On the other hand, I feel public view is important as after becoming a playback singer it is the public which decides on whether he is a hit or a flop singer.

Hi Maheedhar,
Public opinion is very important for any show. Sreeram winning this award, is really a wonderful things. Many people in Andhra Pradesh is feeling as though they got that prize. Each and every person in our state was anxious about the result. So I feel SMS is a good idea, where even the public watching the show, can take a little part in judgement. Everyone will feel our vote has added to his success. So, I fully support SMS contest for Idian idol show.

I am totally against this SMS culture.
Actually the organisers are garnering lots of money through SMS.
Telecom companies and also the the partner beneficieries.
We the poor people are the loosers.
SMS may be one way of getting public opinion, but the way people have responded, that shows crazyness in them.
Any way our lad has won and congrats for the same.
