I completely agree that she was not her best today n she was really very very bad in the antara of the 2nd song.....probably as Shreya mentioned the scale was too high for her....but still I felt a giving the girl a "Madhyam " was being a bit too harsh on her.
And not only that....the comment she got for the 1st song esp from Kunal saying she would be no.1 had they been searching for a pop idol but she is unfit for the title of " chote ustaad " was very demoralizing for the lil kid....she just couldnt stop her tears n after such harsh comments......I don't think one should have even expected her to do a gr8 job in her 2nd performance.
I thought they were being way too critical abt her performances......just bcoz they realise that its now or never....if she doesnt go out now...she will surely make it to the top 2......esp if u keep in mind the public support that she has been getting....n so it felt that they were hell bent on throwing her out of the show.....n the only way to do that was by giving her as many " madhyam's" as possible...which I felt was certainly not the right logic to be followed at this stage
I feel that the judges have always ranked her the lowest........n I think her earlier performances were of the same level as her perfomances today.......barring a couple of performances where she sung exceptionally well......but then if she was this "bad" earlier too then they should have given her " madhyam" at that stage itself.......so that atleast they would have helped her improve upon her singing or she would have been out long ago.....thus making way for some other contestant to be in the top 3
But giving her such harsh comments and that too in front of a live crowd n all and after coming into the top 3.....I dunno I personally didnt quite like it......after all she is only a 12 year old.....n it hurts to see such a sweet child like her cry so much n loose confidence at this stage of the competition....I felt very bad for her
But at the same time would like to mention that Anwesha n Aishwarya sung beautifully today 👏.....I just enjoyed both their performances.....they were just mindblowing 😳
