13 year old Divakar, studying in DPS RK Puram is a very good singer. There is a 9 year girl called Sonal Rathuri who is an another example for it. Yes, even I felt that the judges did not wanted to make any comments about his singing. Generally most of the blind singers have a major problem of expressions which is a very important part in singing. If anybody has his contact number, please send it across to me.
