Another complete performance, with many techniques used.

But importantly, technique doesn't take away from the emotion, rather it adds to the feel.

Techniques used (to absolute perfection that is):

1. humming with a completely closed mouth - very difficult

2. aalaaps - difficult aalaaps, just listen to the last one for example - not just the high notes, but the 'shape' of the aalaap too

3. great range from low 'zubaan' to highs in the aalaaps and elsewhere like in 'geet mein hai, saaz mein hai'

4. spot on holding notes

5. meend

6. harkats

7. change of scale

8. excellent expression on line starting 'dard-e-mohabbat...'

9. breathy throw on 'ab humein jaana kahaan' like what we heard from Sunidhi in 'Mere Haath Mein' or Sonu in 'Kal Ho Na Ho'


All that, plus great expressions throughout, voice quality, throw! What more do you need? 😆

Ten on ten in my books.

Great singing by Kavitaji once again!


No doubt, very good singing. It was nice and clean singing by Kavita, even though there were some parts that would make other sings not sound as clean. But even with some nice harkats throughout the song, Kavita sang great.

The main sequences were the best. The post-main were also good when she went higher in "Geet mein Hain". And then returning to the main-sequences, her singing was just more fresh. And once again, great variations/harkats added at the higher end of her pitches. Some of her pitches later on the song were very high.


Overall, very clean performance from Kavitaji with good variations and high pitches. She finished it off with a strong close. I think this deserves like a 9.5, almost there if it was more difficult, but still great. I'll round down like usual.



Rating: 9/10

Yup. I want to break the myth that only sargams and taans and aakaars are difficult.

I think its more difficult than it looks, its just that Kavita made it look so easy and clean.

Yep you are probably right. I think its more difficult than it looks, its just that Kavita made it look so easy and clean.



Exactly - if you look at some of the holding notes/high notes we've been hearing from Alka/Anuradha (and other singers who were eliminated before we got to this highly competitive stage) you will see how rare it is to find such consistent and crisp notes.

But apart from that, other techniques too... I'll elaborate my post actually.

woww RA ...u have chosen this song for this round 😃...

Needless to say I love this song ....Very underrated yet beautifully composed songs ...All the songs from Khamoshi are gems but this song takes the cake ...and the emotion Kavitaji put in this song reminds me of the scene from the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....each and every emotional nuance has been rendered beautifully by Kavita K ...and that's the essence of this song .....
"Yeh dil sun raha hai dil ki zubaan"....fantastic, awesome , mesmerising !!!!!
Nothing but a perfect .........................................................................10
