I think Viswajit should have been POTD. He had the more complete performance and fewer flaws. That said, I don't know how people can fail to see how much potential someone like Jasraj has. He is very creative with his singing and it is clear that he has a strong background both in Indian classical and Western music with a lot of effortless transition between the two. I think SM and the others recognize this creativity in him.
I once read an interview from one of the more famous reality show contestants who said that singing well known songs on stage was one thing but singing a song for the first time was an entirely different challenge and one at which most people failed spectacularly. I think someone like Jasraj would do very well in such a scenario. It is my opinion that he would also probably be better fit being a composer.
Anyway, my final opinion is that when limited to the competition, he should probably not be winning but based on what I have seen so far, he is a unique and very gifted contestant who probably should use the platform for greater success. That said, I could also do with SM and others toning down on the praise because it is not fair to some of the other superb contestants.
Totally agree with you. He does have knowledge of classical singing too.
