Himesh-Vishal tiff over Mussharat

Himesh-Vishal tiff over Mussharat

In Friday's episode of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, judges Vishal and Himesh had an argument over Mussharat's performance. Mussharat, who belongs to Himesh's Rock Gharana, won very few votes and Himesh was of the opinion that this had happened because his song selection was not suitable to his usual style. This is the second time on the show that Himesh advised Mussharat not to experiment with his singing, if he wants to stay in the competition till the end.

Composer Vishal, on the other hand, differed in his views and said: "Whenever Mussharat comes to perform, the question of his versatility is raised. On many occasions, he has gone against the advice of Himesh and has tried his hand at singing different kinds of songs. With every performance, he has proved his versatility. The controversy was not about Mussharat at all. His last two performances were just not good."

"I do not want to contradict Himesh. He is right in his own way. But my point is that an artist remains incomplete if he does not explore his full range. There is nothing wrong in experimenting. But unfortunately, our opinions differ and there is no solution to it. It ultimately depends upon the decision of the public, which we all have to honour."

"The final winner will be chosen on the basis of how he decides to showcase his talent. If he is a versatile singer, and the audience likes him, then I will win the argument, if not then Himesh will. Further, I will learn something out of it that is for sure. It is not a question of life and death. Our music is different because we all have different opinions. I consider Himesh my good friend and hope that he considers me a friend too. My best wishes are always there with him. I have a great respect for him."

"It is true that Himesh gives tips to all the contestants for their benefit and to an extent I respect Himesh's viewpoint that if a singer has a particular style of singing then he should sing in that style only. But on this show, what we are looking for is a versatile singer, an all rounder."

"Himesh himself has tried different types of songs. He is a versatile composer. Every artist should explore his or her range. It is true that Mussharat sings Sufi songs wonderfully. But doesn't Himesh understand that we are hunting for a versatile singer on this show? That I really do not know."

"When Mussharat sings low notes his sur wavers a bit so he'll have to work on that. I will not give him any philosophical advice because whenever any mentor tells him to do something he immediately follows that. Whenever a singer feels pressurized, his performance tends to suffer. Mussharat so far has improved himself a lot. My advice to every contestant is that they should show us what kind of range they can touch by trying out different type of songs, sung on the right sur-tal and within the context. Amanat, Raja, Anik, Junaid Harpreet and Poonam, they all are fine singers."

In the last episode, Nirupama Dey of Himesh's Rock gharana was eliminated and Himesh promised her that he will definitely sing a song with her in his next project.
