After watching all the episodes until the Piano round, one thing is now established - Alisha understands liitle about good music.Her ability to judge a singer is governed solely by his/her looks.
Remember, given a chance to name which singers she would like to save - her choice were Hrishita and Suhit, both by far the worst singers in the top 28? Like her singing career, which has only seen her sing easy songs (the MDs know her limited range and vocal limitations), her standard has also been too low...Javed Saab was right in pointing it to her that if looks were the only criterion, then who not make models into singers?
The way she singled out Smita, who is by far the best original voice in II3, indeed spoke volumes about her prejudices, and how little she knows about music (the only 'technical' comment that she can make in the programme is whether the singer is 'flat' or not!). She should be replaced by someone like Kavitaji or Shreya.
