Round 2: Shankar Mahadevan - Page 2

Still a 9.

What are you talking about? You mean for like 1 or 2 lines where there was a chorus singing with Shankar in the background? That part wasn't even that important, he deserves a 10 for all the other parts. So are you not going to give 10s to any duet song either? Because those female singers interfere with songs a lot more than that Male chorus did for like 1 line.



Ridiculous!

I think someone999 and me are the only sane judges we have in our judge committee. The other 2 show great inconsistencies. As someone999 said, this shows Shankar's great singing talent, and he sings everything, especially the highly difficult portions so well...His voice remains so clear even in his high notes. Something I thought xobile cared about. But apparently not anymore.


I think the other 2 give a score before judging! And then find absurd reasons to defend their score.

Jai Matdi!
Jai Hindustan!

brahmabul, you tell me by which logic this deserves less than a 10 from summer3 (who gave Dard-E-Disco and ladki kyun a 10), and less than a 9 from xobile?

Was it that the chorus interfered in 1 line? 😆
Or was it that this song is easier to sing than other songs this round (totally wrong, most difficult song to sing this round was this one) and he mispronounced 1 word? After all that great singing, he mispronounced 1 word and got an 8 is what I have to hear? 😆

Seriously? What kind of judging is that! Brahmabul you explain.

Definitely an 8 out of those.

So for this nearly flawless performance, where he mispronounced 1 word, and that had some very difficult portions (this song is more difficult than any song this round) , you went from a 10 to 7.5? 😆
He had a difficult portion, that was 3 lines long, not just 1, and he did it numerous times.


xobile wins the most inconsistent judge award (Thats a bad thing)

WOW what a vile post

It is a flawless performance, but it is a simple song to sing.

BUT the high pitch portion was what added a certain level of difficulty to the song . Even then that's just ONE thing - good singing is not just high pitch. You have to have strong low notes, laykaari, pronunciation, emotion, etc. The more of these elements in one performance, the more points you can access from me. (And it doesn't matter how many TIMES you show the same technique) He had one of these difficult elements, so he can access up to 7.5 marks - thus making it a toss-up between 7 and 8. (I didn't cut a single mark for the mispronunciation of mushqil)

That's just my judging technique, if you don't like it then tough luck.

And yes I was generous in the last round - so what? I was consistently generous to all the singers because I felt generous for holi. And this round I am consistently strict.

Keep your sarcastic award and vile comment to yourself.

I'm sorry ,but as I said in my post, his whole sequence from


Roke tujhko aandhiyaan, ya zameen aur aasmaan
Paayega jo lakshya hai tera
Lakshya toh har haal mein paana hai


was difficult. That's not just one line. And you show me a tougher sequence for ANY singer this whole round. The way Shankar Mahadeven kept the clarity of his voice at the high pitches, which were very high let me point out, in that sequence I posted, he went high in line 2, and then even higher in line 3, and he kept amazing clarity in his voice. I remember you gave Mahalaxmi high marks for her high pitches in "Har Taraf Tu hi Tu' which she repeats 3-4 times, but because they were so well done, they got high marks. Not the case anymore?

Show me any singer who had a more difficult portion than that in their song. You said most of it was simple, but it was just like Sonu's song. It was sending a message to the heart/brain, which requires simple but meaning ful singing, which Shankar Mahadevan did brilliantly in this song. So you gave Sonu's song a 9, but this song, despite having simiilar singing to Sonu's, yet more difficult portions, gets a ?

Well don't get me into technicalities. That is why you are the judge and I am not.
But again I'll say everyone has his own taste and opinion. So lets not fight over it.
I also gave this a 10 and you also did. But that wasn't the case with Dard-e-disco. You liked it but I didn't.
PLEASE maintain harmony here.

Judigng a song can have a variety of opinions. But judging singing is different from judging a song. I hope that is clear to see.


But can you explain summer3 and xobile's logic? Or are you as stumped as me.
