Shivam - Fabulous singing again. Absolutely loved it. Great control of breath. Only problem I can see is with the song selection since many people won't have heard this song. But I had heard this song before and was able to connect. It was very nice of him to walk down towards Sunidhi at the end of song.
9/10
Arpita - Blew it completely. Her body language after the song said it all. I want to hear some soft songs from her in the coming rounds. She sounds too loud with these fast-paced songs.
6/10
Bhoomi - Was very happy with her song selection. She chose a soft song finally. Looked uncomfortable at few places. Good performance overall but not excellent. Great comments by Sunidhi. Ghisi piti shayari from Anu ji once again.
8/10
Naushad - Performance was OK types. Nothing extraordinary. Finished the song very well. But again he selects a song which belongs to his genre.
8/10
Tia - Looked very uncomfortable with high-notes. Weak performance again. Although she improved a lot from 1st gala. My advice to her is she should soon start concentrating on singing rather than whitening her teeth.
7/10
Sreeram - Wow man. Lived upto the expactations from the 1st gala. I think he sang better than the original singer Javed Ali. Looked very focussed during his singing. I like voices like this. Has a peace in his voice.
9/10
Rakesh - Performed the song with so much ease. Lovely expressions. I think the song was little easy to sing. But still an easy song has to be performed. Lot of scope for improvement. Again great comments by Sunidhi. I hope Himesh learns something from Sunidhi.
8/10
Yashraj - Found him off-key at few places. Again an OK types performance. Looks over-confident on stage. That 'khraash' element in his voice didn't suit the song.
7/10
Meghna - A decent performance. She has to show little energy in her voice. It doesn't seem that the song is coming from her heart.
7.5/10
Swaroop - My God! He was the surprise package. I don't know how he does it. Did made some mistakes in the song but he enjoyed the song fully. One extra mark for his energy. Gave that Rajasthani touch at the end of the song. Watch out people. He is the underdog for me. We already have one idol from Rajasthan in the form of Sandeep Acharya.
9/10
Manisha - She is a strong contender to be knocked out of 2nd Gala. That's all I can say. Awful performance. Can't believe what Anu ji said after her performance. I will be surprised if she makes it to the next round.
5/10
Shashi - As Mithun Da would say. Kya baat, kya baat, kya baat. Flawless singing. Had everything in his performance. Singing, expressions, feel, energy. Saved the best for the last today.
