Deepali’s singing lacks spirit

I know her fans will vehemently deny this - but there is something lacking in her singing. In the early piano rounds, she was my fav among girls but gradually her singing began to lose sheen for me.
No complaints with her 'sur' but her singing is 'thanda'. Inspite of the dance movements she tries to put in, the zest/life/spirit/energy or whatever you call it is very clearly missing in her songs. I dont know if she sings it in a lower scale than the actual song and that makes the difference . The judges saw this only a couple of times with luka chupi and tere bina jeeya jaayena but i have felt this with some of the very peppy songs she sang as well paritcularly 'jab chaye mera jadoo' and 'mera piya ghar aaya' And it was the same with 'nimbuda' today.

sry but...I dun agreee.deepali still has it..but in the last few galas the only reason y deeepali wasnt good was because she was sick...

i kind of agree...there was something missing in her performnce...it was sung nicely n everything but still it wasnt up that top level...something missing

sometimes her performances have lacked the right feeling (tere bina jiya, luka chuppi)...however, i wouldnt completely dismiss her as someone who lacks spirit...she has given quite a few memorable performances that have had the perfect feel...also, i guess it all depends on ones opinion...

umm, i dont really agree. other than gala 1 and 5, she has sung with a lot of spirit and emotion. i havent seen gala six yet so i dont know about the nimboda song.

well she sung nimboda quite well actually i dunno maybe her voice may be seemin a lil' low to you thats why you are feelin but thats was bcoz the songs was not on such a high.....for me it was superb enough...... or maybe coz she hasnt sung more of high pitch songs or songs havin high notes so maybe you feel that way.....par i thnk it was very good singin n performance.....well bout thanda vanda.....sorry dun agree.

well i dont know how to put it , wish i could describe it by singing . Just watch the video and observe the first line 'laaya baaraat laaya' in 'mera piya ghar aaya' and compare it to the original rendition , there is a huge difference. Most of her songs are sweet and everything but have that lullaby quality to them

maybe her voice is a lil' different....i too dont know how to describe her singin....we are facin d same problem though our aims are different.....

Hmmm, another thing i noticed is how any topic about the quality of singing evokes fewer responses than topics on who/why/when had a crush

thats not true...just how many crush topics do u see around? its the positive topics that evoke more response...those supporting their faves, rather than criticizing...offcourse a few controversial topics do hold posters' attention once in a while, but most of the time its the positive ones...
