I dont live in India and have started seeiing this program for last 2 months. I am totally unbiased,but with my musical training and being a singer this is my 2 cents worth of opinion.
My choices for the final 3
1. Hemachandra is the best vocalist, well trained, very disciplined, respectful, down to earth. There is no doubt that he will be very successful whether he wins or not. Bollywood has not been verykind to South INdian actors or singers. It is only after Rahman came that likes of Hariharan, Kavita krishnamurthy, shankar mahadevan even were noticed. That is always an issue with the North. So I think Hemachandra will have to work extra hard to prove himself. But in South he will be famous.
Hemachandra,if you are reading, get some Hindiand Urdu exact pronouciation classes to keep you ahead in the game and please please go approach ARR and he is known to discover and give chance to new talent.
2. Himani: excellent singer, with a kind on OOMPH in her voice. Will suit most songs except very high notes. She will do well But she needs to watch her arrogance, and needs to be more humble and considerate of others. I noticed that she is very excited when she wins or she is highest but makes faces when not and as a singer she needs to control her emotions since there will be cut throat competition in the real world.
3. Nihira. has a conventional bollywood singer voice, excellent voice and training and range. Needs a good mentor to work with Bollywood bigwigs and dirty politics and some confidence and OOMph to her voice. SHe feels similar to Shreya Goshal except Shreya has a little naughtiness in her voice which is sweet to hear,
Now coming to our existing finalists, the less I say about Debojit the better. He has a pleasant voice, but you can find voices like his everywhere. he has been playing the audience with melodrama about his life, how hard he worked and his wife crying for everything. it is annoying. But I bet he will not get many chances to sing after the contest. Mark my words. the same people who voted for emotional or regional feelings will refuse to buy his audio cassete. He is good for orchestras, weddings etc. He has no range at all in his singing.
Coming to Vinit, it is really unfortunate that a good talent like him is getting carried away and hyped by HImesh and the public. He needs lot more maturing before he can become a singer. Trust me, becoming a singer takes a lot more than good voice. He is the kind of kid who will get carried away with all the accolades and forget what his passion is.
I dont see a real passion in Vineet for singing. It is like he is putting up a show and trying to please people. For God sake, 17 year old talking about love and his stupid idiotic mentor encouraging that, instead of focusing on singing and his career. He does sing well, but definitely cannot hit high notes or sing melodiously. Again absolutely no originality in his voice. He is being hyped as the yourngest contestant and once that novelty wears off when he is 23 or 24 no one is going to care about him,
So this is my opinion. No offence to anyone and please comment intelligently not dirty or silly stuff.
You must be a bathroom singer (may be family room singer) & i doubt about your music lessons coz your analysis doesn't talk about music at all but just their (singers) behavior.
if yo think Himani is better than Nihira.. than, i am afraid that, forget music lesson you don't have a basic ear music so far.....
& don't talk about Indian regionalism if you don't think you are Indian.....
