Last night I watched some episodes of Saregamapa Bengali and I listened to 4 songs of Arunita. Ep 29, she sang Nishi din in Bengali (Nis din, Nis din in hindi) - heard it after 4/5 yrs. Second was - Bhore bhaye panghat pe, Ep 83 (another one from SSS movie), this I heard for the first time - she sang both these songs like an experienced, adult, well trained singer, in her beautiful voice (and she was just 10 then).Third was a combo Bindiya chamkegi and Na lada na lada tu ankh na lada, Ep 80 - she was absolutely fantastic, especially in the second song, with lot of voice modulation. And ofcourse all 4 judges ( Kumar Sanu, Akriti, Kaushiki and Joy) were heaping praises for all these performances, and I loved all of them. Fourth was Lag ja gale, Ep 82, the judges were little critical here, and it's a very difficult song to sing, especially for a 10 year old kid- Arunita sang it best in her latest version - she got the emotions right, ( I think for the first time) - but she needs to practice it a little more - (get all the vibratos right) and to make it perfect.
