I wld like to start off by congratulating west on their victory 👏,they had excellent team work and were pretty deserving winners.they need not have used that strategy.. they were capable of winning without it.
Having said that,in the ATGC grand finale, i kept feeling that west got the benefit of doubt to quite some extent.I didn't pont it out earlier coz i thought it might lead to arguments, but then its my opinion...and i guess anyone has a right to an opinion 😊
First of all,yesterday,when when west sang the song 'o ri kanchi' from asoka,they didn't sing the chorus that goes along with the mukhda which goes
'Jhoom chameli jhoom chameli jhanjar wali jhoom jhoom
ghoom chameli ghoom chameli jhanjar wali ghoom ghoom'
....... this line is sung along with the mukhda ,but there is no lip sync on the hero and heroine...but it should still be considered part of mukhda. As in earlier instances of antakshari in eechak dana song, central lost points for not saying 'bolo kya anar'which is part of mukhda and sung by chorus….similarly this is also very much a part of the mukhda sung by chorus.
The research team which does nothing when east/west make omissions in their songs is all ears when navin makes an ambiguous mistake in one song!!!last week too,they caught the mistake made by navin in 'woh ladki hai kahan'.Its good that they caught the mistake,but after north sings they go back to eating samosas or something!!!Its good that they are doing their job at times ,but not good that they are paying attention to one zone's mistakes only.😭........
again,when 'kuch na kaho'song was played...i felt that west pressed the buzzer when the musician was still playing the rhythm.But when asked the musicians said they had finished playing....ok,so they gave the benefit of doubt to west.In today's game,in the last round when navin sang'kehna hi kya..... armaan naye jaise dil mein khile'...it is not very clear if he said jaise or aise,but he didn't get the benefit of doubt…… i feel in the grand finale ,basically,nobody shld be given benefit of doubt anywhere.
alsojust my two cents....if i have offended west fans,my sincere apologies.....brush it off as sour grapes syndrome!!😊
