It's a topic of extreme debate in the other shows. But personally i feel you are comparing them to established singers. That is their livelihood. Atif aslam sings in that genre to get money. this on the other hand for crying out loud is a competition. COMPETITION. Whereby you have to prove your potential. Didn't you see that girl on star voice. the daughter of the singer. they were so disppointed with her when she sang hari om hari. Besides why do you have to be a medicre 'hotch potch' at all songs? You can be good in like 3 genres. It isn't black or white. It doesn't have to be jack of all trades , master of none. One can be good at 3 or 4 genres. I'm sorry i didn't follow ii2 that well so i don't really know what you're talking about. Oh that other star voice girl, the one who sang ruki ruki, what's her name, ahh abhilasha. they said that she is an extremely strong contender for star voice and highlighted that she is able to sing all kinds of songs.
Definitely all fast paced songs aren't noisy songs. they have a distinct raag and taal but hearing her songs you will be able to tell that the raags in which her songs were , were raags within close proximity, basically raags which had similar aarohs and avrohs. Sunke hi pata lagta hai. Different raags are also for different genres. If you have some knowledge of music, say bhairavi and bhairav would be used for slow numbers since they have more komal swaras while bilawal, yaman have shudh notes which is why they are more happy sounding.
