good review Lizzie. I completely agree. Only that I find Mohit better than Revanth.


You may have something there, NJ. Its just that I dislike Mohit's voice. There was little wrong with his rendition, but I rank Revant higher on awaaz. His performance this week wasn't good enough, though..I have to admit.

Its sad that these contestants will now be given chances based on looks, popularity, charisma, sob stories, background etc etc, all of which have nothing to do with actual talent and hard work. Pity!

Also it seems like Shravan, Tajinder, and Hardeep have very little supporters which is a total shame! Because as far as talent is concerned they have it in oodles. I'd hate to see any of them go, I think there are weaker contestants then them who deserve to be eliminated before, but then I guess its bound to happen when they don't garner enough public support.
And this is why my distaste for music reality shows up time and again, and I give up on watching ..because of audience voting and the unfair elimination of genuinely talented people. Its easy to argue that judgment of good/bad singing is subjective, but glaring errors being forgiven just because a certain contestant hails from a certain state or they are good-looking or popular...just totally gets to me! 😡

My reviews for today.

Tajinder - that song didn't give me a South Indian feel. He went off key at places. Also his pronunciation is very Punjabi-fied. I think another song and he may have sung better.

Revanth - I have such high expectations for him and today he has disappointed. While his pitching was perfect, he easily went through the highs and lows of the song, but the pronunciation lets him down. Almost every sentence had mispronounced words. He tried to add his touch in 'jhoothi muthi moyi ne' and went off tune there. It's a song I love, but I didn't enjoy it one bit.

Rohit - that's what I call a comeback. Not a note out of place, pronunciation was almost spot on. You could see the effort and sincerity. He was performing with such elan today, that if he left next week I'd feel bad. Easily this weeks best performance.

Manya - firstly I'm dissapppointed with her inclusion. Secondly, she proved why she had to leave in the first place. It sounded like an amateur singing at a dandiya garba festival. Without the musical instruments I wouldn't be able to bear her screeching. She can't go very high, her voice screeches (happened in rangeela re and again today).

Khudabaksh - overall he was fine. But it sounds like the song I heard from him last week and the week before. Also he didnt hit all the right notes, they weren't glaring mistakes, but at this stage and with this kind of competition it stands out.

My ranking for this week-

1. Rohit
2. Maalavika
3. Shravan
4. Mohit
5. Khudabaksh
6. Tajinder
7. Revanth
8. Hardeep
9. Manya


I feel bad ranking Hardeep so low, he really didn't sing bad at all. But the song just didn't allow his singing prowess to come through.

Also, I feel bad putting Revanth so low. Technically he should be at 4/5 but without right pronunciation the song just doesn't sound right.


Agree with you. Didn't like Tejinder so much. And, about social media Revanth has the most number of fans so he should be safe. Rohit was outstanding 👏👏. But, at the same time wasn't happy with Manya's inclusion. Why, Manya above everyone else?

Chappa chappa should have been used in duet round not as a solo performance🤔 ..its basically friends sharing stories ,teasing each other dancing round bonfire,how can u recreate that friendly banter while singing solo..
Rohits attempt was praiseworthy-i guess more so considering the emotional baggage of last week(sonu got too emotional ), but i didn't come close to manna dey's version ,lacked the rustic charm...
malavika is a good singer but her voice sounds bit screechy at times,🤔ok on tv but i feel it's not a voice u close ur eyes and just listen ...

Shravans singing,voice ,humility and thankfully no sob story👍🏼 all i like but he needs to improve his hindi diction ,as sonu suggested learn urdu like the great lataji ..so learn the language ,proper thalaffus makes such a huge improvement🤔-just listen to the original chatath musaphir song and realize that was a perfect rendition⭐️ of a bhojpuri song by manna deyji who is from bengal...

hey Pjyo,
Great to see you here!! Agree with you on Shravan. His diction is not that bad, but it's good if he can put more efforts to improve it.

Agree with NJ. I also have a feeling that public will vote out these guys Shravan and Tajinder keeping the mediocre performers safe. It would be rather shocking if that happens. Anyways, talent hardly wins in any reality shows. If someone is flashy and attractive who can also come up with a dreadful story to make audience weep, it's easier for him or her to become the winner, and sadly this has become a norm.

<font>online, Revanth has most supporters followed by KB, sothey will stay in competition whether they sang well or not. Thats why I dont see them exploring or trying something out of their comfort zones.</font>

<font>Malavika is the best among the female, so chances for her to stay is higher...</font>

<font>so who stays and who gets eliminated is completely based on the popularity calculation and not on who sung well on the particular week.</font>

<font>I really hope audience saves the really talented and versatile ones like shravan and rohit...tajinder tries different genres but at times he fails but I consider him better than the comfort zone contestants,who still make mistakes despite being in comfort zones.</font>

<font>No offence.</font>


I THink most of them have tried singing something very different barring Khudabaksh and Mohit (though they did sing 1 song each that wasn't their style). To an extent even Tajinder hasn't sung very different from his style.

I really hope that the audience votes for the deserving people, some are just ornamental and add no value to the show (except maybe trps).

I don't see shravan or Tajinder winning or evening making it to the top 3.
3 guys who I see are - Mohit, Khudabaksh and Revanth. Each has a sob story (though Revant doesn't usually talk about it), and a huge fan following.
I won't be surprised if mohit or Revanth win. Atleast these two sing well.
For the moment Revanth has the most chances - he has all what the show is looking for. But let's not forget regionalism. After having winners like Prashant Tamang, anyone can win.

Even I agree that Mohit KB and Revanth are most likely to make it to the top 3.
Though personally, I feel Shravan and Rohit are deserving too. Specially Rohit- he was bang on today. I never felt a connect with Shravan though he sings really well. Technically speaking, right now, he is the strongest. And I like the guy, as in he sings and leaves. No sobbing and stuffs.
Mohit- I've never been a big fan. But judges really like him and also, has one heck of a range. That is legit.
KB and Revant are popular, have sob stories - and have a regional fan base along with the normal ones.
Though I've never felt the winner' thing in both of them. Sorry fans, but yeah, just my opinion. I might be wrong. But Revant-when he sings Arijit's songs , straight up puts me off- maybe because of the theatricals or his pronounciation. I don't feel this pronounciation issues with the other South Indian contestants though. I mean they have issues here and there, but Revant's issues are the ones that are highlighting themselves- maybe because of the song selection. He should tbh try avoiding Arijit's songs. I totally agree with judges that he has a great voice, but should have worked well on his dialect. Sreeram was from AP but he rarely had such issues.
Revant's best performance was DhanTeDan - he really rocks the grungy songs.
KB and Mohit too, always sing songs of a particular genre.
I somehow don't see a winner in these 3 though these are realistically the most possible top 3 acc to audience votes.
I personally hope, Shravan or Rohit reaches the top 3.
And totally agree with what you guys said about Manya.

I don't think mohit has an amazing range. He can go very high beautifully but he hasn't showcased his low notes. Somehow I believe he won't be so good with low notes and he probably knows it and avoids such songs.

I also want Shravan or Rohit to make it to the top 3. And because they sing well. I'm not sure what this audience connect is about. 😕 I've never been one to look for the andaaz aspect, for me, awaaz and riyaaz are what sets a singer apart. Shravan is a classical singer and hence he's able to tackle those songs with ease. And I did notice the judges going "waah waah" when he performed. So aren't they part of the audience? Are their waah waahs to be ignored? When someone like Sonu Nigam says that a singer like Shravan is a blessing to Indian Idol, do we take that lightly? I personally believe that training in Classical enables you to sing any type of song. Perhaps Shravan was a bit shaky on some numbers since that's not his forte. But he still tries. And he never does badly. In comparison, I don't know how someone like Mohit or Khudabaksh would do in a raga based song (they should have a classical round in Indian Idol). That's not to say again that they cannot win, in fact they're more likely to, since audience voting decides the result. But were it upto the judges, it would be a different story.
So long story short, for me, I just don't understand this "audience connect" thing. When a singer is good, and hits all the right notes, he/she connects with me. Rohit had me jumping for joy this week, the way he sang Chalat Musafir, without one off-key moment. That is what gives me a high, not eye-contact and dancing or hooting at the audience. I know I'm probably in the minority here!😛 Yes, some singers can bring a certain extra chutzpah to the song because of their performance, and that can offer an edge, but it can never be the first thing you look for in a singer! At least not for me!😳
