In II2 i really loved Karunya's singing and would wait to hear his songs like crazy.............i would replay them like 20 times and watch him sing amazingly well,totally in sur.
In the 3rd series, there is no one who sings totally in Sur. I mean Karunya was also only 17 but very matured and sang well, but who comes close now, tell me? Maybe Emon, i want one singer to sing in SUR totally without missing and also consistantly. I am not sure who would qualify. And the judges are also mediocre, Alisha only praises, Udit has no spine and just talks like a lay person, like one of us would and Anu Malik makes good use of his senoirity in the show by adding to the drama, he is good no doubt but a=slighly dramebaaz. I like Javed Akhtar, though he has limited knowledge of the music and sur, taal etc,
I miss Karunya singing and SOnu Nigam judging the song and giving his comments, that magic is missing. Why is karunya;s name not mentioned ever in II3? Is it cos he refused to sign a contract with Sony?
