Getting eliminated in the first round…I guess he is not that great singer. Tibetan singers have a long way to go, need a lot of work on their vocal range, copying other singer’s tune and the song doesn’t mean you are a real singer, it’s more of Karaoke.

He lacks experience and quality. These days tibetan youngsters think uploading a dance or cover song video on social media and getting few likes make them big star. I have seen people uploading videos dancing in half naked clothes and they act like superstars in tibetan community. Same is the case with sonam topden. I personally think that tibetan youth should represnt tibet in a better way. By doing something original not by making a video using musically or by going live and smoking hookah or cigarette in front of there viewers.

I am not a Hugh fan of Sonam Topten. But When in TV ads I saw him singing I feel like now Tibetans are rising. I think he did a great job. He was selected to perform on stage n dats the main thing. Stop criticising and let him appreciate for his work. Keep going

  Sonam we all love you in UK. I think its unfair not to selected on that Indian platform. How many indians can sing Nepalees songs. Sonam has mastered the indian songs and many others as well. Sonam’s voice is far better than many other bollywood singer. Why not giving him a chance. If he decides to do shows in Uk we will be honoured. God bless you Sonam you will always rise like the promising sun. Love you.
