Compare to Puja. Her audition itself was marvelous. But she never got any proper grooming after that. Ever since piano round, there was this stupid controversy about singing and performance and jealousy and what not, but did anyone actually teach these guys about improving their singing? So her singing actually suffered. Still, without any help she did so well, imagine what she would do with a little guidance.
The same goes for many other singers in II3, they started out with a great deal of promise, but over the weeks, because of lack of guidance, settled down to mediocrity, so that although II3 started off much better than SRGMP, it now comes a distant third to SRGMP and VOI in terms of singing quality.
Anyway, I hope after her XIIth she comes to Bombay and works towards being a playback singer, she has everything it takes. Who is going to remember the Ankitas and Prashants even if they win Idol? They will be like Sandeep or Qazi. But Puja you WILL be successful, you have the primary requisite of a playback singer, a powerful, soulful and tuneful voice.š š š
