Definetely Sriram is a versatile singer..he can sing any type of songs...

romantic.... comedy...serious.....tragedy!!!

and we can expect 100 percent perfect singing by him while singing those songs

Can you try giving Sriram or Shivam "Nimboora song" or the Holi song Swaroop sang in Hema Malini episode?

Even though we agree Sriram and Shivam are versatile, they are not 100% versatile.

In film industry no one is 100% versatile. We have experts in every genre; music directors use them when ever they need them.

I say Sreeram and Shivam :D

I don't think any of the remaining contestants is versatile in the full sense of the word.....

Shreeram definitely has a good voice and is a very good singer...technically he is pretty strong which he made very obvious when singing "Breathless".....however, I have never enjoyed any of the romantic songs he sang...for instance, his rendition of "Jaadu teri nazar (a song I really love) and that new song from "Once upon a time in Mumbai" weren't his best...

Now, speaking of enjoying songs....I've always enjoyed Rakesh's performance.... a lot of you have said that he picks easy songs...how do we know if he is not given a limited song choice in the first place?.....anyway, given a choice, I would always prefer listening to a beautifully sung simpler song than listening to an indifferent rendition of a technically challenging song...and because of this, I think he deserves to progress in this competition...

Bhoomi has recently sung some excellent songs as well.....she might be the dark horse of the competition....

I am indifferent about Shivam.....he can be technically good on some days and god awful horrendous on others....

Now, talking of versatility again, I am sure Swaroop is not at all versatile when it comes to playback singing (except for folks songs)...for example, I honestly don't want to hear Ranbir or Imran croon love songs in Swaroop's voice..... I'd rather count the tiles on my floor... 🤢
Or wait.... I'd rather have Bhoomi sing for them in her husky voice.... 😆

Shivam is most versatile. He is quite daring and willing to push his limits too. The drawback to him is that he has not been consistent and has faltered in aspects of singing.

Sreeram comes right next after Shivam. However, Sreeram's greatest advantage is that technically he is far superior. He has attained a level of flawlessness in some songs.

The two of them are evenly matched for me. I prefer Shivam because personally, I find his personality much more vibrant and suited for a stage. He has the attitude of a stage performer. His voice quality is more unique. Moreover, he is still learning. His technical limitations are not the end - he has it in him to improve a whole lot more. Those who prefer consistency and more mastery over singing, would find Sreeram better than Shivam. The only reason he is my second choice is because he has an introverted quality and smoother voice that makes him better suited for playback rather than a performance singer.

Rakesh is not versatile. Perhaps he does have the potential to be versatile, but he has not given himself the opportunity.

Amidst the girls Tia was more versatile. She could carry and fulfill many different songs. Tia's problem was lack of confidence and self awareness. I don't think she knew how to aware of her abilities, how to hone her strengths and overcome weaknesses. She had some really 'bang on' moments as well as plenty of 'WTF' moments. Going by her 'bang on' moments she could have been competition to Shivam and Sreeram if only she had gained confidence, so she could focus on singing and improving on it.

Bhoomi appears least versatile. However, to give credit to Bhoomi her lack of versatility is not completely her fault. Her voice is more alto-contralto and the set of compositions genuinely adaptable to that range to sound good is very limited. In fact given her voice type, she has to be the most impressive of this season for having accomplished songs with that range. The effort on part of her vocal range is commendable. That is why the low pitch jazz style songs suit her more. Most desi music is for softer female voices, she probably will never be successful as a playback singer - but more as a pop star who can have compositions written for her or use pitch correctional software. She would be better suited trying Alto songs like some of Ashley Tisdale, Miley Cyrus etc.

Aww and why do people criticize Ankita so much. Ankita was awesome. One of the best things that happened to Indian Idol. See there are singers and then there are performers. The singing department was low, but when it came to performance Ankita has been the best I have seen in any reality show. She had confidence, poise and ability to take on the stage fearlessly. Her voice was not too shabby, nor was her technique poor for an untrained singer. She could have been groomed under good tutelage. Even some of the best singers cannot perform or entertain. Confidence and presence is a talent that really cannot be taught at all - it has to come from within (something Tia will also suffer from). Singing skills can be trained. Now I am not saying any confident tone def person can be a worthy popstar (of course some are just that) but Ankita was by no means completely tone def.

sreeram and shivam (although shivam needs to put a little bit more work into his sur sometimes, but he has time, he's only like 20)
