Yesterdays Ranbhoomi round was so good.....John and Bipasha both looked glamorous and hot....Bipasha's eyes shone with affection for John.. Her black and white outfit was very nice...
All three began with Tu Sirf Mera Mehboob....
Qazi's "Bheege Honth Tere" rendition was SUPERB. He created such a sensuous mood - he was very floor friendly during this performance - kneeling with 1-2 knees on the floor - his movements were very controlled and gave a very sexy look - he kept doing a lot of eye contact with the audience - like he was wooing every girl on the floor - Qazi gave possibly the best performance in FG.....You could see it in both the judges eyes - they were impressed.
Qazi got a 10 on 10.......Eat your words.....those who say he is no good..
Then came our Arpita!!!!!! She was wearing a red Salwar suit.....quite modest - I would say....with SLEEVES... her hair was in a wet look....she did not look beautiful.....she looked very thin.....
She sand Raat Ka Nasha Abhi - a very sensuous song....she didn't do justice to it.....I felt she was off-key in 1-2 places....also her dancing style moving her left hand up and down is very repetitive and did not in any way help add to the feel of the song....she has no STAGE PRESENCE....Arpita fans forgive me but I honestly felt that she could have been any average singer in an orchestra...you walk out of the theater and she is forgotten....Bipasha looked distracted during her perf....the judges were clearly not impressed......
Arpita got a 9 on 10......her smile kept slipping off - no jokes - really - you could see that Arpita could not keep her smile in place......
Rex.......motu....unfortunately, he sang very very well - Tadap Tadap ke....initially it seems he got breathless, I think he made a mistake in the words when speaking dialogues in the song.... but he sand very well...he has got a very good basic voice quality.....he sang very high notes very clearly and beautifully.....but he did NO performance....meaning he sang practically in one place standing (could be to keep his breath in place)....and ended on the floor on his knees......
He got a 10 on 10.....
Overall - I think Qazi was the best.....you got a feeling that this guy speaks the truth when he says.....I take all the harsh criticism as a challenge....He sang such a difficult song so beautifully....it was literally mind-blowing....
Best thing is - RR may vote for Rex based on the Ranbhoomi - since he was definitely better.
The judges gave good comments to all three.....
