I know there has been a lot of discussion on this topic. But I just have one question. Javed Ji feels Emon is taking the same harkats and sounding like Sonu. Why did it take him 8 galas to say this? He has seen Emon from the auditions to the theatre round to the piano round. But he never mentioned any Sonu resemblance and suddenly in gala 9 it struck him that he sings like Sonu. If he knew this before, why didn't he mention it in gala 1 or 2 or 3.
He commented on how Sonu had no other choice but to say Emon doesn't copy him. Why would Sonu lie for a mere 18 year old reality show contestant? If Sonu was just being sweet as Javed Ji claims, why did Javed Ji not tell Emon in that every episode that you sounded just like Sonu when he had sung a Sonu song. He waited till the next gala when Emon sang a completely different song and then said he sings like Sonu. I mean this looks like dirty politics to me. In gala 8, he praised Emon when he sang a Sonu song and in gala 9 he talks about gala 8. Why the double standards?
And while watching the promo, I heard Javed Ji say that he should have shown his versatality and chosen a dfficult song. So do all Sonu songs belong to the same genre? Has Emon sung only Sonu songs?
And he called Kal ho na ho a easy song? I think something is seriously wrong with the man. This is one of the toughest songs to sing and being the lyricist he should know this. And this song is again different from what Emon has sung before. Is this a peppy number or a romantic number or a folk song? No.
I think it is because of Javed Ji that Emon has most chances of going out this week. As there are some people who watch the show through the judges glasses and believe that whatever the judges say is always right.
Javed Ji was one of my favourite judges on Fame Gurukul. He had lost his sense of judgement earlier on, but I was pleased when he supported Deepali and singing. Seems like he's gone back to judging the way he used to in the beginning galas.
