People - I think most of the fans are not against the fact that he is making money. Atleast my opinion is that there is nothing wrong in it. Let him charge in crores. Let him do advertisements. let him do concerts. let him make money.. no problem. and even for this website, let him charge Rs. 5000 per song for entering competition. No big deal My point is - "why have a two classes of people - "Normal" and "premium" - with Rs.1500 and Rs.5000". Why not have just one class - and even if its Rs.5000, thats alright. But this clause of "Pay 5000 and directly go to 2nd round" is not the right method, in my opinion! Lets not divert this into "Making money" issue. Its the method of making money that, I think, is not right. Having this clause is no different from corruption! to be frank, I didnt like the concept of "Pay 10000 for conclave ticket and lunch with raaja" also. Its commoditisation. But then... that happens with lot of celebs.. so i guess thats ok (assuming that the money is going for some charity or something like that). Also, thats not that big an issue.. atleast as compared to this "Premium class" and "Normal Class".

Just my thoughts!
