I agree - all contestants need to challenged and brought out of their comfort zone. If the judges are going to be deciding genres next week onwards, then it will be fun to see them attempting.
That said, I think when the audience vote begins from next week, its going to be hard on some of the contestants, especially the ones from South India, who historically have always been hard pressed to win over the "junta", because of the language barrier or because they're not flamboyant enough or for whatever reasons. I see Rohit and Shravan having a hard time there.,which is a pity.😕
I would prefer if the judges had the final veto power, else its never a deserving candidate that wins the crown.
Anyway, here are some of my song choices for the contestants 😃. The selections are based on what I've heard of the contestants and the songs I think would sound good in their voices. For a couple of them (Mohit and Khudabaksh), I've chosen songs from a genre that we haven't heard them in so far.
Revant : Tumne mujhe dekha OR Dil lena khel hai dildaar ka
Rohit : Aapke Haseen Rukh pe OR Ye nayan dare dare
Mohit : Mere Deewanepan ki bhi OR Phoolon ke rang se
Shravan : Mann re tu kahe na dheer dhare OR Jaane kya dhoondti rehti hai
Hardeep : Aaj mausam hai bada OR Chalkaye jaam
Tajinder : Ni sa ga ma pa ni OR Ek akela is shahar mein
Khudabaksh: Nakhrewaali OR Jhoom jhoom jhumroo
Malvika: Daiyya ye main kahan OR Kuch dilne kaha
