Kiti

Kiti u hv really aced the song....one of the best performance I would say of this contest. But I would like to point out few things which would help u in future. Infact it would help others too.

The hari om part....this part when u r singing it needs to come from within and not just the vocal cords. Infact in this particular song at many places the song need to be sung from inside....which I know is quite difficult unless trained. Also for this u need to be very strong in the lower notes.. but your low notes are not ok. I can make out easily u are quite uncomfortable in your low note. U are not right with the taal too in the song......count them on your fingers for the original song for a small part say the first ....mantarpat hari darshan ko aaj.... and compare it with your song. U are going fast. The alaap after bin guru gyaan kaha se pau....well that's not come out right. Just one request..u are classically trained. So must be knowing well about kharaj riyaaz.....plz do it. Your low notes needs serious working. Voice cracking especially at high notes is also a sign that u hv left riyaaz. Do riyaaz regularly even if its for 10 min. and take something hot before singing. Try taking tulsi leaves with plain tea (without milk). That will rectify the prob.

Rock&roll

This definitely is the best till date by u.......this particular genre is not your style of singing so.... its fine. At low notes u are again not comfortable at all.. and hv actually tried something with your voice which is making it sound awkward. Your throw is not right.... and that's more because you are not singing openly. I hv a feeling u are singing very consciously. Take it easy and then sing. If the muscles of your face gets strained u will never be able to sing openly...as even your vocal cords then gets effected..... it will always get suppressed. Many words they didn't sound exactly as they need to be.... there's some accent. Just for example the "bin" in say hari bin or tujh bin...... your tonal quality and way of singing, high notes being your strongest point, I would suggest do select songs in next rounds properly.

Mini

Very good choice of song mini.....but u made many tech mistakes in the song. U went off in both sur and scale at places.... I will give u few examples..... "teri daya ho jaaye to data" the second time when u r saying at the strting.... listen to the part "jaaye to daata" U hv not touched the high notes properly....nor are u correct in sur.. "Tu daani tu, antaryami" the first time when u sing this part, u suppressed your voice........did not let it open and pitch at the proper high note it is supposed to. And this ihas happened at many other such places. Har bigri ban jaaye again u lost the sur and scale. What I can make out is u hv sung the song suppressing your voice..... reason why could not hit the right notes.. and while trying to control them ended into this sur and scale problem. U just had to open up and sing......everything would hv fallen into place then.

Mala

First of all the song needed to be sung at high note than what u hv sung.....if that had been done the feel part could hv been rectified a lot. The bhajan is a prayer to the god....it needed to carry the same feel. Just now it sounds more like just singing. One more thing.... u too are not right with the taal. U hv slowed down the song a lot. At many places u hv stretched the words.... just take for example.... the first om jai jagdish ha re. U are stretching the Re a lot.... the song is a long one true but u need to keep the tempo going till the end. Here by the time u are reaching the last part its quite evident that u are loosing interest and just singing along to end it.

Lavanya

U did not touch the high notes or the low notes correctly. Resulting into your song sounding quite flat... Bhad bhav apne dil se....the bhav needed to go higher. Doosto se bhul again doosto needed to bit more high. The high notes hv not been pitched correctly at too many places. But best is u are all in all in sur.... plz try to get high notes corrected and also your diction. In few words u are rushing and ending into loosing the taal. Count it in the original song and then while practicing maintain it with your hands..... that would help.

Evilseye

U can do much much better than this..... Its just that I feel u started the song itself at the wrong scale. And then u did not get the high notes right anywhere. U hv a strong voice and good at high notes then why are u suppressing?? Open up plz.... u can do way better than this. U just needed to sing the song with lot of energy and all would hv been well. Don't suppress your voice while singing. It will turn your song flat......
