SMS voting and any other voting is flawed ( look at our politicians) IMO this ranking/elimination/sms voting should not be for shows involving kids. When these occur, controversies of favoritism/partisanship/TRPs and all other unnecessary crap occur. The kids should come and sing. The *judges* should guide/point out any possible improvements/techniques for kids so that they can really improve and enjoy what they do. These shows snuff out the kids' innocence. When are we going to stop ranking everything? Spare the kids at the least....
