Saturday Recap
Pawandeep-I must say. This is probably Pawandeep's best perfomance since getting back from COVID-19. He did complete justice to the song even though he did have a few sharp moments. I definitely feel he is getting to the point of overhype but I have always enjoyed Pawandeep's singing regardless.
Ashish-Best solo performance of the day! Song is so beautiful and Ashish's version was so good and so soothing to listen to. Possibly his best performance in months and I feel this performance will get him to the finale. Both sukoon mila gaane sunke. Hats off. First time in months I am praising an Ashish performance.
Danish-Of course they give him 2 songs while the others get 1 pretty much??? Probably Danish's weakest performance ever. Dawaat Ishq was just laughable. The other song was overdone with alaaps and unnecessary screaming. I don't think Danish will make the finale especially if he continues to give performances like this...
Sawaii-Sawaii being in the top 2 last week in voting was a big smack in my face. How could he get more votes than Arunita? Anyways. He sounded alright today. The song itself is so wonderful but Sawaii did make his fair share of mistakes. I still feel he gets unnecessary hype due to his monetary status but that's just me. Overall not bad but not great either.
Arunita and Sayli-Ah the top 2 contestants right now imo singing a duet! Easily the best performance of the day. I have heard the song multiple times but it never gets old and Arunita and Sayli both did wonderful. Arunita sounded a bit better than Sayli but I feel Sayli is a very versatile singer still. I am surprised it didn't give as much love and appreciation as other performances.
Nihal-Good lord Shukrah Allah is like one of my favorite songs of all time and Nihal completely ruined it. I had to go back to the original with Sonu Nigam and cleanse my ears. Nihal was improving steadily and now he hit a rut. That's the big problem with him. He gives a good performance and then goes back to his old ways of mediocrity. He's kind of like a seesaw in that regard. He's probably been the lowest voted contestant for awhile but is only this far due to judge support...
MVP of the episode was easily Ashish for giving a finale worthy performance but the duet was not far behind
As for Sunday's episode, 95% of the songs are repeat like what is wrong with the creative team. Kaminey song for SMP again??? Slow motion angreza again? Ramta Jogi and Chaiyaa again??? Sukwindher Singh is one of my favorite singers of all time and this is what I have to watch. At least I know Arunita will do complete justice to Layi Vi Nagayi. I am also looking forward to Beedi from Sayli and Danish.
