Who is versatile? - Page 3

Ankita is 1000 times better den boomi & Tia..she can sing & perform at da same time....still i hvnt seen a great performer like her in any season of II...

According to me Rakesh & Shreeram should be da next II.

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.

exactly my point...👏👏👏
really she was da best thing happened to II-3.👏
👏so many ppl watched II-3 jus to see her great performance..👏
she was da star of II-3😛but she was not even trained like her so called frnds who criticized her for not being trained...still she was much better den those trained singers.👏if she was trained like dem den she wud be somewhr else.👏
hv u evr seen any II singer performing dat fearlessly while singing..👏
👏she jus made it up with her performances...👏👏miss ankii babyy..😃

In terms of versatility, it is definite and obvious that Sreeram and Shivam are the most versatile, they have proved that consistently, from the start of the competition. They have sung almost all types of songs, whether it is classical or western, high pitched or low pitched, fast paced or slow paced, qawali or ballad. I have complete faith that no matter which song is given to them, they can confidently handle that because they are versatile in the real sense of the word.

Rakesh tends to choose the same repetitive songs, he is playing it quite safe till now. The same romantic slow songs with excellent feel, but I want him to go beyond that limitation now. It is high time for a change.

Bhoomi's voice is quite raw and sort of strained, whenever she is given a song beyond her capacity, she fails miserably there. For example, she was asked to sing 'Mar Jawan' in today's elimination episode, and she wasn't even able to throw her voice properly, it was so low, hardly audible and of course quite strained. Didn't like it at all.

I really hope that history does not repeat itself, I am anxiously hoping that a deserving versatile candidate wins this time.

i feel sriram nd shivam are versatie singers but cannot say confirmly dat anyone of dese 2 can win cos i strongly feel till now except Abjijeet not a single season deserved ones won eg,sandeep,II3(do not remember),II4...so anyone can win lolll

a singer who can sing any type of song ,not genre based,can catch all types of moods required for the song with imagining the visuals in his mind. versatile for me is also be able to sing in opposite gender voice.it should be that versatile.he should be able to change his voice also, as and when required based on the actor's voice..

I feel No one is a versatile at a moment in II5.. In III3 I felt Amit Paul was close to that But this time whenever someone is trying to go out from comfortable Zone .. s/he trembles and make a huge mess.. No Comment about Shreeram As he is already a professional State Singer.. I can't understand why judges keep on protecting Shivam?? His voice is just too rough ..I never felt his voice giving sweet feeling and taste .. Emon from II3 was way too far better than him.. Swaroop is good at his zonal level but he really needs to work hard in order to improve himself ..he is not consistent with his performance level... Bhoomi is just another example of hyper... people always busy in cursing Tia ... is she better than her?? I don't really think so.... repeating word of someone (Ankita 1 and 2) .. We have singer like Bhoomi in industry who are far better than her in high notes and galla fadho Songs..Rakesh is bit allright but why he always try Romantic numbers?? If he got something, should come forward with that.. In few Words, Nothing Big This Time..Kishore Kumar was one of most versatile singer i have ever seen.. If he is singing for self he is Ashok Kumar, if you Amitabh he is Amitabh ..Just superb!!!

SO was Rafisaab if I might add..😃 At times he does not get his dues...There was "Click" happening between RDB, KK during 70s-80s...And still few songs had to be sung by Rafisaab...Example movie "Guide" I won't go in details as I dont want bashing or fights...😳😃

Hmm interesting views on board already, my view on the most versatile singer from the current Top 5, its got b Sreeram followed by Shivam, they have gone outside their comfort zones n given brilliant performances n of these two Sreeram stands out as the best for giving brilliant performances consistently...of the rest of the 3 contestants they never really stepped outside their comfort zones...so cant comment on them being versatile..
