What are your comments/opinions on the 7th October gala?
Here's mine:
Solo performances
Arpita - Um, to tell you the truth, I didn't hear the song she sang before, so I have no idea what the sur was supposed to be etc. However, I didn't really like what I heard. It was okay, but nothing great.
Ruprekha - Man, I totally loved it today. It was not the type of song I would expect Ruprekha to sing, but she carried it off wonderfully. Her sur was right on spot - I loved the way she carried the high notes.
Qazi - To tell you the truth, I didn't really like it today. I loved his performance - he suited the song perfectly, but I didn't like his voice.
Rex - Very close fight with Ruprekha. As always, it was wonderful - I always enjoy his performances.
Group performances
Rex and Ruprekha - Hawwwww, sho shweet. I loved it completely, they both performed well and sang beautifully. The aadayein "Rupu Darling" put into the song was just wonderful. Their chemistry is so striking - man, I really think they make a wonderful couple.
Qazi, Arpita and Ruprekha - God, Qazi like totally shocked me. When he sang the first notes, I thought, "Where did he pull that voice from?" He sang it soooo good, man - the song totally suited him, and he was really working the gangster image. He was breathtaking. I can't comment on Ruprekha and Arpita separately because they sang together, but on their duet - it was wonderful. I'll admit, I was concentrating more on Qazi, but I did honestly take the time to listen to them - and they were wonderful.
All Four - Amazing, simply amazing! It was really nice to see all of them up there and singing to their heart's content. I really enjoyed it.
The guest performances
Harry Anand - Well, I love how he remixes, and it was nice seeing him up there too!
Sophie - She was good too - great energy, and the stage burst when the four joined her.
Celebrity judges
Wonderful choices! They were both looking good today, but I have to say Shreya looked breath-taking.
Other items of interest
- "Yeh bhai bhen lagte hai... par ek dusre ke nahin." What a classic, yaar! I cracked up completely.

- Javed looked fabulous sitting between two gorgeous ladies! LOL!
- When Qazi said, "I take everything as a challenge", I started clapping. Lol. I don't know, I love his spirit.
Um, okay, I think that's about it. Share your comments!
