Thu, Nov 22 2012@Uday Rodgigues,
Prajoth is a good singer..but to nominate his name in this award the composers or the producers of the album must send his songs to the organizer of this award then only they can consider. I feel none of so called composers send his songs...:( all are selfish in their own field...

Congrats to the music awardees. Young children should be trained to sing.

Thu, Nov 22 2012Congrats Lavita Lobo & Ajith :-) Hope you both will win the finals. Where is the name of Prajoth D'sa? He was not nominated or the ors didn't like his voice ? His voice is loved by everyone all around. He is a young and most promising singer from Mangalore-Udupi and he should have considered for the best singer award. Where is the support for young talents ???
