Ill try to assess among remaining contestents who sang best out of genre, and Im also with a mentometer this time.

Hema: This is surprising to note that he is one contestent who has attempted songs sung by diff singers eg. UditJi: Ae Ajnabi, Kishoreda: Bachna E hasino, Sonu Nigam(Saathiya) and has done full justice with most of them.
To me his rich voice sounds quite diff, not exactly fitting in one genre, though many people have tried to fit him into SP Balasubra slot.I'll take Ae Ajnabi as an example out of genre: a song which gave goosebumps to Aadeshji, his ability to hit low notes was well displayed, full of expression & sur: a perfect 10/10.

Debu: To me he fits somewhere between Abhijeet & Kumar Shanu,
I'll take Hamma Hamma as out of genre: on this he got a lot of chumma from ID, shook a lot while singing but never lost sur, perfect modulation at places, deserves 10/10.

Viniit: One of his songs: Lakshya can be taken, it has been sung by Shankar Mahadevan, IMHO he carried high notes quite well, was in full flow & did justice to it, I'll give 10/10...

Sharib: sorry to bring him here, but no description of male singers is complete without him, many people said he was more towards sufi/qawali genre (including Himeshji in initial rounds who said after toota toota ek parinda ....kai gano me Sharib buri tarah se expose ho jata hai....) but time proved how versatile he was, he attempted songs from different singers,right from Nachle(by Daler Mehandi) to Yumma Yumma and showed that he could sing any song to his advantage.
I'll take Yumma Yumma: it has been sung by 2 singers, RD Burman & Mohd Rafi, he carried this song beautifully while many others fizzled out on RDX...never lost sur, deserves 11/10..... oops....soory.....
IMHO, if this contest was judged by people with Shiv Hari calibre I think then Hema & Sharib would have fought each other in finals, and it would have been a nail biting finish.

Nihira: this perfect play back material has done two songs which IMHO can be taken. 1.I Love you(HRHK)& 2. Rangeela re
I'll take HRHK: originally sung by two singers(Ashaji & Usha Iyer..those days Ushaji was unmarried hence not Uthup) at two octaves, one of the most discussed songs in this forum..she used her ability to hit high & low range to full advantage & left people spellbound...as always fully in sur & flow...deserves more than 10/10..

Himani: This girl with X factor actually has attempted 2 songs which I will consider 1. Jaane Ja(Ashaji, RD Burman) & 2. Aaj ki raat(Ashaji), latter was quite impressive, she sang full throated.. actually this song has spoken words that too by Ashaji, which is very difficult to imitate..but she made a very good attempt...deserves 10/10.

Please note that this is my humble opinion only...
please feel free to add songs which you think were out of genre even of those contestents who got eliminated, it will be great threads..

Good analysis ... I think Bulla Ki Jaana of Rabbi Shergill sang by Vinit was also a good attempt. If you listen the original you would find he carried off pretty well. Suits his voice too.

I agree with you, Sinha ji on all of them ...

Will just add that Sanchali's rendition of "Gustakhian" from Aankhen (a complete divergent from her style of singing in the episode she got eliminated) was awesome as well .... another 11/10 score ...

Twinkle's 'O babua, yeh mahua'....an Illiyaraja number. Never easy to sing. An abstract composition. Then there was Sharib with Tere Mere Sapne...what a delight!



Do you know this song's speciality is its rhythm & Bass guitaring, + what a sensuous singing by Ashaji.
Acually Illaiya Raja recorded the instrumental part first then Ashaji flew to Chenai to record this song, absolute delight for instrumentalists..
excellent use of manyl instruments...
