            Dear Poonam,

            This is the first time I am watching Sa Re Ga Ma. I became a fan after I watched you sing Mere Maula song from Khakee. You sang far better than the original. Your singing has that certain quality and talent that hasn’t been heard since the good old days of Asha and Lata. I wish you all the best. You deserve to win!!! Believe in yourself!

                Dear Poonam,

                I just watched the Independence Day episode where you sang ‘Vande Mataram’. You were fantastic! I am a great fan of Lata and I refuse to listen to anyone else trying to sing her songs. This is one of her more difficult songs – but you pulled it off. You are marvelous – and like I said before in the calibre of Lata and Asha.

                Your fan from USA.

                                      So far she’s been very consistent and big threat to Raja who is possibly going to win.
                                      Anyway either Raja or Poonam.
                                      Both are going to be great singers.
                                      Best of luck to both of them.

Mentors should promote her more then those who can just sing in one Genre and are big talkers. She is quiet and innocent and always kept in the background. Poonam, my best wishes are with you. People, please vote for her not just the guys!

                                                                                    I am regular viewer of Sa re ga ma pa from the first episode ever.. about more than 10 years. I love the quality of the singers here. And you just do justice to all my expectations from this competition.

                                                                                    For me you are already a winner. I hope you get all the good work in this world. As your mom pointed out in of the episodes, When Asha ji said you are ready for Playback.. you won it!!

                                                                                    I wish I could vote for you, but I am in USA. I keep texting after each episode… and the text returns back saying that I dont have service. I have asked the telephone company too, but no replies yet. I just wish Sa re ga ma pa had online voting. I would definitely have voted so much that you won solely on my vote ;)

                                                                                    Regards,

The music lovers here have forgotton u so quickly after elemination of urs that they have already started fighting on gazal round,so sick!There is so much of regionalism here -bengol!After that natinalism-Indo-pak!These r the people who created so much of fuss after Mussarat elemination without voting him!TThen the snobbish behaviour that they r the best music judge & they will have a session on non srgmp music,utterly rediculous,if they can’t stand for right values in life!Disgusting!Sincerely i feel that u were best!(amanat is no comparision of urs,in any case!)
                                                                                          Anyways,i am ur gr8 adnirer & no,i am not an Upite!I l am a floridian business girl & i have never visited Delhi or Lucknow!But u have created a place in my heart!i feel that u r my sister,and all this bcse of ur talent & not bcse of any sympathy!
                                                                                          u r the one who opned my eyes to life’s reality which honestly i never ever witnessed! Bcse of u,today,proudly i can move away from Chhanel, Christian Dior,Estee Lauder &Lancome,my famous brands,without which i wouldn’t ever imagine to live!I don’t care for Mayor’s or Zale’s diamonds any more!
                                                                                          U r eleminated but u have left a huge impact on my life! i am sure u will definately succeed in ur musical path! i hope the top notch or ace film makers sign u for their movies! My dear sister,i am also going to run a campaign for u from here & i don’t expect many people on this forum to be with me as most of them r here to sit on the fence or r silent observers who have forgotton to raise their voice but have their worthless opinion!I don’t care for them!
                                                                                          i know,my sister,at this time u r going thr tough time,trying to absorb ur elemination & come to terms with life!
                                                                                          Here is my Big Jaadu Ki Zappi for u!Get going sister,ur voice is so magical & strong that such regionalism or nationalism or Guru Biases can’t affect it!
                                                                                          Love u & get going! i am with u!I am sure there r thousand of ur adnmirers who feel the same way !

                                                                                                Thee fact that she has been eliminated once again proves two unforuntate trends:
                                                                                                (1) Girls have never topped (or even reached the finals) of any singing contest on any channel (when competing with boys). She topped the girls’ category

                                                                                                (2) Regionalism is eating away this country slowly – eg. bengal and North East only vote for contestants from their region – case in point Vinit, the much better singer lost to Debojit;and now Poonam. Too much pakistan-cheering is happening.

                                                                                                (3) People from Uttar Pradesh should wake up, get out of their ‘hum toh sirf hindustani hain’ dream and assert their identity. The’ve voted purely on merit all these years and continue to do so. While this is the ideal approach and is appreciated, it doesnt work because the rest of the country is not doing the same – otherwise Poonam would have swept the voting.
                                                                                                If all are voting with their state in mind, why not U.P?
                                                                                                Lets save Harshit (VOI) – he is also by far the best in his competition.
                                                                                                Poonam you’re the pride of Lucknow, the pride of U.P. and the pride of India. God bless !

You are just a superb.
