Performance Discussion 12 & 13 November, 2022 - Page 3

13-Nov-2022 Aashiqui Special

Rahul Roy, Deepak Tijori, Kumar Sanu

Rupam. Tu Meri Zindagi Hai. I was lost as soon as she started. That is to say, she lost me. Believe it or not, at the antara I forwarded. First time ever.

Rishi. Well, dekha to yahin hai, dhundha to nahin hai. He was called on stage and there was no song 😄

Senjuti. Nazar Ke Saamne. Well, once you break a barrier, you keep doing it again. So I needed to forward it again. But I waited for Sanu da's comments. Glad to see him once again giving meaningful tips 👍

Chirag. Ab Tere Bin. I forwarded all the drama. Not as good as last week's Gori Tera Gaaon, but still much better than his earlier efforts. Quite good actually.

Anushka. Dheere Dheere Se. Thankfully no silly costumes! Singing significantly better than some of her previous work. Her voice is not my favourite but technically this was decent. Having said that, I can see that her voice would really suit some types of songs.

Bidipta. Jaan e Jigar. My favourite track from this movie. Thankfully she didn't murder it. In fact, I felt she was better today than last week. And whoa! She got a second song too! Main Duniya Bhula Doongi! Same as the first. Overall better than last week. But not sure why 2 songs for her. Or did she just seize the mic and refuse to let go😄

Rishi again 😄. This time he got to sing. Saanson Ki Zarurat Hai Jaise. He started off the Ho ho ho portion in a manner that is really not suitable for a contestant who was considered a hands-down winnner! I think I spotted a wry smile on Kumar Sanu's face! It improved as he went forward, and the end result was decent. And he too got a 2nd song! Dil Ka Aalam. This time he started off better. Or maybe by this time my ears got used to him 🤷. And finally that Rishi+ Rahul scene took place, which had made an unexplained sneek appearance earlier.

Vineet and Debosmita. Tumhe Apna Banaane Ki Kasam. They are both very good singers and this was probably the best performance of the day.

Medley by Kumar Sanu. Decent. He doesn't seem to be as much in practice as Udit Narayan.

Shivam and Sonakshi. Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin. Again good singers and along with Vineet and Debosmita, the highlights of the day.

Bottom 3 as per scores. Sanchari, Chirag, Kavya.

Eliminated as per votes. Sanchari. Surprised, I expected Kavya to be eliminated early.

Performance of the week. Rishi, Dil Ka Aalam.

Asides:

Those here who are born after 1990 can be forgiven if after this episode they feel the main hero of Aashiqui was Deepak Tijori, with Rahul Roy being a support actor and Anu Agarwal making a guest appearance 😄

A pair of singers performing a duet, and towards the end of the duet looking at each other and finishing off with their hand gestures and facial expressions in 100% sync : this can fail spectacularly if you try to create that effect. As it failed today. This can only happen spontaneously and naturally when the two singers have bond or understanding. Otherwise it is best to just let them sing in their natural style.

There was a 90s weekend in Idol 12, which basically turned out to be a Pawandeep -Arunita special weekend. Many of these songs featured there. Need to go and watch those now for detox.

Did they edit Rishi's performance with Rahul Roy on guitar

On Sony Liv it was teased once and then shown properly later.

This season we seem to have different favs😄

Enjoyed today's performance slightly more than yday..

Senjuti n Bidipta have a slight edge over Shivam n Debosmita for me..

Shivam lags a bit in voice projection n Debosmita in how she emotes the song..But winner has to be among these 4. Sonakshi may spring a surprise.

Vineet is in a different league

I am switching favourites every weekend or 2. I am still in awe of PD and AK - still waking up early mornings on Sunday to follow their live streams. So it is difficult for me to have a firm favourite this season 🤷

Yeh public hai yeh sab jaanti hai 😄

Man that was a disappointing Aashiqui special. The contestants did not perform as well as the season 12 contestants.

Rupam-I don't know how she escaped the bottom 3. She must have been bottom 4 because while her performance was technically good, it lacked the feel that other performances of the same song across different reality shows has had.

Senjuti-Not Senjuti's best. It was an ok performance but not up to her standards.

Chirag-Chirag's performance was sleep inducing. Very dull and very monotonous. If it weren't for the love drama they created for him, he would have been out by now. We may see a breakup in this love drama soon because it is starting to get annoying.

Anushka-Sang much better than the previous 3 contestants but was also just ok by her standards.

Bidipta-Probably my favorite performance of the day. She sang with so much variation in both songs and soul. An easily deserved MBD and easily her best performance of the season so far.

Rishi-Rishi be getting a lot of screentime because the show wants him to win right haha. Anyway he sang very well today. Dil Ka Alam was really good and I wouldn't complain if he sings every song in Aashiqui 3 as I like his voice a lot.

The duets were pretty good. Shivam and Sonakshi were trememdous and Vineet and Deboshmita were good.

When I saw the bottom 3, I right away knew Sanchari was gone. No way they are breaking up the love drama this early in the season between Chirag and Kavya.

One of these days wouldn’t be surprised if they are eliminated together 🤣

Aashiqui Special Episode -

Rupam was average. She is my least liked contestant after Sanchari.

Expected more from Senjuti. It wasn't bad but she can do much better.

Anushka was really good. She is capable of singing different types of songs.

Chirag - nothing special. Good attempt.

Loved Bidipta's performance. For me it was her in Indian Idol 13 so far.

Rishi sang beautifully especially the Dil Ka Aalam song. Love his voice.

Duets were sung nicely. Liked Shivam-Sonakshi more than the other duo.

Kumar Sanu's voice is still magical at this age.

Anu Aggarwal was hardly there. I wonder why?

Elimination - as expected it was Sanchari.

Their drama is beyond my understanding. I don't know what the creatives want to show. It started with Chirag - Kavya and then Rupam, Navdeep and now Senjuti are brought in. I seriously don't understand what they want to do.
