Meiyang Chang - Yeh Ladki Hai Kaha
I just absolutely adore this guy, Meiyang Chang singing in Hindi and entering the finals of Indian Idol. Now that is what democracy is all about.
Update: I received this comment. Thanks to Aw. Apparently he wasn’t treated well in the end.

What democracry is about..?
Um, you should read up on how he was still eliminated unfairly in the end. And the Internet boards are abuzz with discussion on how even though India is quite tolerant, a non-Indian will not win the event for a long time. Check Wikipedia on the “Bradley Effectâ€.
One of the female judges walked off Indian Idol after Meiyang got eliminated. And they kept calling him the singer from China, even though he insisted he is Indian, and is a third generation Indian.
