Overall I didn’t enjoy the episode much. I also skipped all the extra bits, just watched them sing.
Nihal - he’s gotten much better, but still not good enough to be in the top 10. I enjoyed his rendition of mujhe neend na aaye better than the other song. His pronunciation and clarity need improvement.
Ashish - I tried hard to enjoy his performance but I couldn’t. Mere mehboob mere Sanam is a song I normally quite like, but not his version. Though it was the better of his two songs. When he sang yeh kaali kaali aankhen - he really tried to be like SMP. Didn’t enjoy it one bit. His pronunciation needs improvement.
Arunita - I didn’t enjoy her rendition of yeh moh moh ke dhaage. She is naturally a high pitched singer, and she isn’t the right person for this song. She tried hard to get it perfect, and she did pretty well, but this song wasn’t for her. Sireesha or Anushka would’ve sung this better I feel. I enjoyed her second song, couldn’t find any faults. Somehow I think she’s losing her top spot to Sayli.
Sayli - like someone has said before the songs were drab, but she sang them beautifully. I enjoyed both her songs today. She’s clearly becoming a front runner for the prize.
Danish - He is so good. Though today wasn’t his best, I still think he was very very good. I do wish he’d go easy on the aalaps. He’s now overdoing them. I think he got the most boring songs today.
SMP - I didn’t enjoy her first performance one bit. The second one - Dhoom Machale was way better. Infact it was not bad. I didn’t enjoy how she ended the song, the rest was bearable. But she needs to work on clarity.
Sawai - horrible. I think he sang on a lower scale, which surprised me since he can sing really high. Also I think he was flat a lot of times. This song has such a folk feel to it, it’s almost like it was made for him, but he didn’t do justice. By the way why did he just sing one song?
Nachiket - I liked his second song way more than the first. He began very soft, there was no punch in his voice. The second - main hoon naa one was brilliant. I’m glad Anu Malik said what he did. It’s like he knew Nachiket was being ignored and told him that he was good and deserved to be where he is. It’s sad nobody else had anything to say/was edited out. He’s clearly being ignored.
Pawandeep - I really like panchi nadiyaan - but he sang it so mechanically. Didn’t enjoy his performance on this song. His second was way better, in fact I kind of enjoyed it. But maybe because it was a so so episode singing wise.
Anjali - didn’t enjoy it. The sweetness in the original song was missing in Anjalis voice. She’s a pure classical singer, and doesn’t usually do justice to typical Bollywood songs. I wish she switches to practicing semi classical - which will ease her into singing Bollywood songs. Also, she only got to sing one song.
They waste too much time on Himesh’s ladoos, promoting Pawandeep and other rubbish. I’d rather everyone gets feedback and it’s aired. Also wish everybody got equal opportunity to sing.
is it just me, or where they showing Neha too many times while contestants were singing?
