I respect ur views...but i lemme do some editing...frst of all ppl deepali hasnt started performing frm dis day...she's been performin b4 too...go n check "nisha"👏...but like she didnt give much importance to performance in piano rounds...(while anky gave)...coz piano round was basically was bout singin...but now she knew she had to perform nnot coz of ankiteshwariji but coz d judges said so.....😊

second thng bout the singin part...anky still is behind deeps in singin field...no doubt bout it...deepali is a gr88 singer 👏.....n i know nobody wud disagree to that....but anky is more looked as performer than singer....n here singin is priority...so if deeps has gotten into the performance field then itz an advantage for her nd disadvantage for anky...coz now she's not the only performer.😊

okk may be u 4got dt Ankita is not a trained singer like deepali but pls give some credit to her ..being untrained singer she is doing a grt job thr.. she always tries to keep balance btw her singing nd performance..she easily sings along wit performance👏.. like u said i can also tell if Ankita is trained den it will be an advantage for her nd may be disadvantage for deepali...soo u never know..

anyways i always like deepali nd she is my 2nd fav along wit Amit..👏

Yea Poonam..
Both the girls has x factor and both r a rocker

This kinda thread is utterly pointless because Ankita and Deepali cater to completely different fangroups. Puja will remain Deepali's toughest competitor because they both cater to the voters favoring wholesome, shareef, Girl-next-door kinda singers with Sureeli voices. There is a phenomena called vote-cancelling. Lets say we have 2 rock songs, 2 rap songs, and a country song up for Song of the Year, then our safest bet would be the country song because it has no competition in the demos it caters to. Keeping that in perspective and ruling out Charu because rationally (and keeping much faith in the taste of voters) she has no chance, we have 3 girls: Deepali, Puja and Ankita, and between the 3 of them, Ankita's fanbase doesn't overlap with either's because you wouldn't hear either of them using "Oh Baby" in any of their songs anytime soon or dressing up the way Ankita dresses anytime. If people want further elaboration then just match their song choices. Now Deepali and Puja are both classically trained singers with notably good voices, and they both carry this safe-polite-sophisticated image compared to the rebellion that Ankita often displays. So for either of them to move to the later stages of the competition, the other really needs to leave. Whoever leaves first among the two will help the second alot because with their favorite gone, the fans will move to the closest alternative so if Puja leaves Deepali's fans are likely to multiply and vice versa.

That is a very interesting and valid analysis. Even though some things are being weighed on the same scale they have no comparison. Sometimes comparing only two alternatives we ignore the big picture.

The fact is that both Puja and Deepali are trained singers. They have softer more melodic voices, better vocal ranges, reasonably sound confident performances, with high vocal expectations along with pressure of performance. Their fan base is one that appreciates clean traditional singing that is performed well but without excessive energy or mannerisms.

On the other hand Ankita is the untrained singer. The dark horse with an ordinary voice and limited vocal range. Her selling point is pure confidence and energy. She likes to be rebellious and unpredictable. Her fan base is one that wants something non traditional and off the beaten path in terms of singing.

However, I can see why people perceive Deepali as a threat to Ankita. In many ways she does have the potential to do so. Compared to Puja she has gained a lot more spunk and confidence in the last performance. If she is willing to go the extra mile and add some rebellion and oomph in her performance she can win over fans that are looking for that Xfactor in performance. Deepali has a potential to do that, which is why she can be a threat. Whether she chooses to target both classes of fans or sticks to her more traditional grounds will be seen.

Either way the more competition the better. I would like to see more girls go to Top 5 and even perhaps win this year.

thanks for your explanation...this thread is not meant to compare the fan groups of the two contestants, deepali and ankita...it is basically saying that deepali is becoming a better performer...period...people used to think she didnt have much stage presence, but from yesterdays performance her stage presence was better than ankitas...thats all...

Thats a good analysis. I am a huge supporter of Ankita and want her to be the IDOL but at the same time I like Emon and Deepali as much I like Ankita and if any of them become IDOL I won't mind and will be happy. Which fan base are you going to put me in? The one who likes traditional singing or the other?

I think the reason people support Ankita because she can be seen as a Female in a man's world if you know what I mean. Girls specially don't like such girls, reason how can not be like a girl and still be a girl. So such girls ( like Ankita) usually can't make good girl friends because they are so different. People who are Ankita's supporters like this difference and people like me want people to appreciate such difference and not outcast it because as you said its non traditional. And anything non-traditional is usually perceived with lots of skepticism and critisim but ultimately proves the point or leaves the mark.

To enjoy good traditional singing, I enjoy SVOI. I enjoy II#n because of people like Ankita who have something more to offer.

As far as seedhi saadhi, bholi bhali, shareef image is concerned, I can't see Ankita as a cunning or a person with loose character at the same time I have my own doubts with Deepali being seedhi saadhi and shareef. I like both but I would still want Ankita as a winner as she has that X factor which is yet to be seen on any talent shows.
