As an Army officer's son, I am a fighter` says ParleenParleen has been a favourite among the girls and his performances were almost always superb. So, naturally, his elimination came as a shock to his fans. We spoke to Parleen soon after the show. Quite surprisingly, he came across as balanced and in full control of his emotions.We are very sorry. Did you expect this?I didn't expect this at all. My performance was good, the judges had liked it, my manager and even the people on the sets had said it was good. This was totally unexpectedly, a total shock to me.What went wrong?At this moment, I am completely blank. I cannot think much. See, public voting has always been unpredictable, but the people around me said that in the last episode a lot of stress was laid on the public to vote for the girls. Maybe because of that a lot of votes went to the girls this time. As a result, one of the guys had to go and so I am the victim.If not you, who could have been out today?It is difficult t...

Jothipala who mesmerized the masses with his irreplaceable voice, falls next Saturday, July 7.Though the country and the film industry in particular was unfortunate to lose him on July 7, 1987, he is regarded as the most popular people's singer even today.His demise was a stunning blow particularly to the Sinhala cinema which is still struggling to find a versatile playback voice to replace Jothi. Some critics are of the view that Jothi's demise was one of the major causes for the apparent downfall of the Sinhala cinema.Hettiarachchige Reginald Jothipala, born on February 12, 1936 studied at St. Lawrence College, Maradana and St.John's College, Dematagoda but never studied music as a subject even during the latter stages.
