Vanaja - yes, I agree that Saptaparna sounded more high pitched than usual, but the song has been sung by Alka at that scale... and Alka sounded a lot more shriller due to her tonal pitch (Alka inherently goes shrill in high notes usually).... This was not her best performance, but her elimination is very undeserving! As Sonya said, why on earth did the judges go so overborad with Ira? She did not leave any impact on the song!
As for Toshi, is he walking the Sumitra way of succumbing to very high expectations and attempting a similar genre of songs again and again? I guess so... His 2nd half of the song was a bit better off than the 1st half (that was totally inaudible).. but since his overall scale of the song was lot lower than the original, did it leave an impact? None whatsoever!!
