I really felt sorry for the guy who was left out. He was supposed to be the favourite! And the other guy, who came second (I don't remember names, starts with P); I am sure he got through just because he bears and uncanny resemblance to Saif Ali Khan!!
EDIT: Panna, that's his name.
Checked on the Indian Idol website. It says he is 24 and he is still in Class XII !!
