biswa.mishra asks Do u think the voting system that begins that can find the actual winner?
shaan says Honestly, I think public voting on Li'l Champs has been balanced so far. And at this stage of the contest, I think it wouldn't have made much of a difference whether it was voting by the judges or the public. All the top six kids were chosen after a lot of competition, and all of them are evenly placed.

everfreshdaddu asks hi shaan can u tell me that votes which v r giving from net on ur site is valid or not.
shaan says Of course, it is.

meera_abhi asks I had sent my prev question but it got truncated, hence sending the 2nd part. SHRADHA has become a victim of this sms system. Please call her back and stop this sms voting.. thi sis an insult to the talent
shaan says Please refer to my last answer. I don't think it was wrong to bring in public voting at this stage.

shaan says Thank you! :)

naviaf asks Shaan why don't you introduce the musicians individually on the show sa re gaa maa. it will not only boost their moral but also enhance our knowledge. after all they are the back bone of your musical show.
shaan says True. We do introduce the musicians during the live shoot. But that part always gets edited out due to lack of time.

ShaanObsessed30 asks 1) Are u gonna come to the US doing another tour?? Cuz the one in Queens was AWESOME!!!!! 2)How tall are u?? 3)How do ppl in the US get to participate in SRGMP? 4)Are u gonna continue hosting SRGMP? PLZ answer LUV --KOMAL

sonia1182 asks Shaan, can you'll pls stop the voting system in the little champs? Comeon, these children are not professional, and secondly the public will just favour favouritism and they dont knw music so well, i think this is all a hypejust to collect money.The publi
shaan says Be it children or grown-ups, I think at this stage of the contest, it wouldn't have made much of a difference whether it was voting by the judges or the public. All the top six kids were chosen after a lot of competition, and all of them are evenly placed. I've seen the results of the last two weeks and I think public voting on Li'l Champs has been balanced so far.

rajurajeshpandey asks can you tell how you plan your songs to sing before singing.
shaan says It is mostly the composer who decides the style in which the song should be sung, as far as films are concerned. I do try to add my own touches after discussions with the composer -- like I did in Don.

rajurajeshpandey asks i am very found of your style of singing. and voice .

shaan says I don't think that's right. I've seen the results of the last two weeks and I think public voting on Li'l Champs has been balanced so far.

vaani.goodla asks Hi shaan I just want to request you and the the three judges that audience voting is not correct.so pls try to change this because no one can be perfect as the judges.
