debo on HR and AS - Page 2

Without taking side of anybody, would just like to point out that diction can be improved with time.
Even "The GREAT" Lataji had diction problem in her earlier days. Marathi accent was prominent in her singling. But then she hired a trainer and trained herself in Urdu to fix the problem. That is how you become a legand - know your strengths and weaknesses and take all efforts to fix weaknesses...

Hema can surely follow the same path and improve his diction...
I personally don't see that as a problem. In a challenge like this, his diction can get him negative points but at the same time, unique, trained voice can get him out of that...

Just $0.02

lets go along that hema is good, v good. but even then, i think if anything, he has gotten more of a free ride than most of the others. no one has ever seriously criticized him, partly because he sings well, but also because there is some "aura" of being a bit different from the other contestants and the fact that he comes from a musical family. remember jagjit singh episode- abhijeet apparently impressed him the most the first day, but somehow hema was selected as #1 without even so much as a reason being offered. i think even great performers sometimes doubt their own abilities to judge other singers- jaggu was probably told about hema's background and he went along with that... We all get influenced by intangible aspects and sometimes dont trust our own judgment. Hema benefitted on that occasion.

Even the entire issue of diction has been dealt with very gingerly if at all by all the judges/ mentors. Why? Isnt diction important? if it wasn't, then we'd have more indians making it in the western music world. sure, he will improve on that score over time. but then so would have Sanchari the little girl who was eliminated in earlier rounds because she wasnt there yet with a mature voice. Hema has improved a lot on diction, but he is not there yet. the fact that he has survived and come so far shows that if anything he has been given more than a fair deal. my 2-cents fwiw.

Debu is really really a Great Personality...

The way HR and AS behaved with him is really pathetic..shame on AS and HR..
