Rank the top 9

in order of your preference (be it their singing talent or personality or anything)

Just rank top 9 according to your choice.

My ranking would be

1. Arunita

2. SMP

3. Sayli

4. Anjali

5. Sawai

6. Ashish

7. Nihal

8. Danish

9. Pawandeep

All nine are great talents.

I am sure everyone has a different opinion about this one but If I had to rank:

1. Arunita

2. Sayli

3.Pawandeep

4. Ashish

5. Danish

6. SMP

7. Anjali

8. Sawai

9. Nihal

Frankly all are good in their own ways but this would be my order of preference.
They are all winners and it really doesn’t matter who amongst them takes the award. They will get opportunities, and it’s the person who grabs and catapults on the chances they get that will succeed in the long run. Or someone who has the ability to create. That’s why I think Ashish will do well as he seems to have the talent to create as I really liked his arrangement for the song he did with SMP. Plus he has an MBA and if Pawan is smart he should collaborate with Ashish as planned.

1. Arunita

small gap

2. Sayli (most growth this season)

3. Pawandeep (based on pre-covid singing)
gap
4. SMP (not a fan of her singing, but objectively speaking she’s talented even if I don’t enjoy it)

5. Ashish (very mediocre singing, but has talent in compositions)

6. Sawai (tough to rate, very good only in his genre, poor versatility with anything outside of his comfort zone)

7. Danish (most regression this season, would have rated him above SMP earlier in the season. But to be honest 4-7 are very close to eachother)

gap

8. Nihal

9. Anjali

1 Nihal quirky, unpretentious

2 Ashish friendliness

3 Sayli humility

4 Sawai simplicity and voice

5 Arunita good singer

6 Shanmukha priya comical

7 Anjali

8Danish

9 Pawandeep

This is my pick both bases on their talent and personality.

1)SMP (Very unique,creative and bursting with talent, technically perfect every time)

2) Anjali(best classical singer I have come across and technically perfect in most performances)

3)Arunitha(best voice out of all the contestants in my opinion which really suits for playback)

4)Danish(Very talented and has his own style)

5)Nihal(Best voice among the male contestants and fresh playback voice)

6)Sawai(sometimes his singing is really divine. God gifted)

7)Sayali(another very good voice like Arunitha but I prefer Arunitha over Sayali in some aspects)

8)Pawandeep(good voice and talent but iam not really impressed not sure why)

9)Ashish(Good for music director but he lacks consistency in singing in my opinion)

1) Arunita ( singing plus overall personality)

2) Pawan ( voice qlty plus his multifaceted talents; also shows maturity in his interviews, keeps saying winning is not the end, comes across as a very grounded secure person)

3) Sayli ( singing plus her consistency & overall growth)

4) Ashish ( average as a singer, good at composing)

5) Danish ( good voice quality, though needs to be nurtured properly)

6) Nihal ( love his voice, he should’ve been higher up on my list, but for his inconsistency)

7) Anjali ( love her classical numbers, but needs more voice maturity)

8) SMP ( talented in her genre…but somehow could never enjoy her performances)

9) Sawai ( talented, but not versatile)

1. SMP - Sensational, Magic Performer

2. Nihal Tauro - Perfect playback singing voice

3. Sayli - Oomph voice, with a string of awesome performance in all genres

4. Arunita - Sweet voice with a lot of dedication in singling

5,6,7 - Pawandeep, Ashish and Danish in any order. Normal singing, no X factor

Anjali - Not ranking her, because she is a raw diamond, will go to great heights, with the amount of classical expertise she has developed and will definitely hone further

Sawai - Not ranking him, as he is a niche singer, all the way. Will have a wonderful career, if he can leverage his singing and the genre he specializes in

Based on singing only

1. Arunita

2. Sayli

3. Pawandeep

4. SMP

5. Anjali

6. Danish

7. Nihal

8. Ashish

9. Sawai

I would love to see 4 girls plus Pawandeep in top 5.

All are excellent singers. There is marginal difference between rank 1 to rank 9.

Love all the contestants. They have given us multiple stunning performances.
