Amongst all the reality shows that showcase India's best talent -- namely, Zee's SaReGaMaPa, Voice Of India and Indian Idol 3, there is one voice, for me, that rules and rule seriously.

It's not the versatile sweetheart Emon Chatterjee who might just be the Indian Idol, it's not Deepali of the same who who was voted out. It could have been Amit Paul who has a unique voice even though he made a mess of things with his Omkara rendition, or rather an attempt at it. Fine, girls go ga-ga over Chang but, hello, he's far from Idol material as far as the voice goes, and if he does get picked, it's official -- our's is deaf nation that can just see.

Mauli impressed, totally, in SRGMP with her Mayya Mayya, immense energy and even miles away on telivision, we could only applaud in appreciation. Amanat's soul is crystal-clear when he sings in that penetrative voice of his, and Ismail Darbar has done a really good job with mentorship on many fronts. But hey, it ain't them.

That leaves us with VOI, with some of the weirdest judges and ironically the better talent as far as singing is concerned. Sumitra Iyer's name comes to mind, this woman is lovely, I repeat -- lovely, and she is perfectly capable of power-packed performances especially with fusion. Ashpreet is a treat to listen too, her vocals linger in the air even after she walks away.

And that brings me to my pick amongst all of them, aptly named the Voice of India. Yessir, it's Toshi Sabri, but of course, 24 carats of Gold if you may, but a priceless voice in many ways. Listen to his 'Piya Re, Piya Re', that drew comparisons with the great Nusrat, but even then, that's saying a lot.

Yours truly grew up in the Emirates, and an expat kid, I realised the importance of halaq to bring the Arabic script to life. Dude here does this effortlessly when he rendered Kaho Na Kaho.

I mean, he's honest, he can sing like awesome, he's firmly rooted in the basics and Sufi, will you folks please vote for him? He makes the rest of the singers sound like substandard artists, doesn't he?

Enough talk, here"s a video that suggests what the chap's capable of.

Don't go by Abhijeet's words though, making any sort of comparison between NFAH and someone else is absurd and uncalled for. Toshi is awesome, he isn't divine. The chap is humble, the judges ought to recognize his honest humility that's so familiar of Jaipur, and let his singing speak for itself.

And boy, that's a voice-and-a-half.
