Basically Prashant's performance was #1 last gala although since he's never been the judges favorite (except Anu Malik) so they wont say it.
I agree with the original poster that this was supposed to be the gala on pop music and indian pop music is easy-listening. The songs are supposed to be easier and thus the point of his song being easy, raised by Javed and Sonu, was not really necessary.
I think the only person who sang anywhere near Prashant was Chang as yesterday he was quite good. Emon did will but was too much high-pitched while Amit's sur was not good yesterday. Puja did a good job but Ankita totally was off-key and sang very badly.
Anyway, Prashant was the best singer overall yesterday but the judges didnt see it. He needs to work on his diction a bit more though.
