of course there is no denial tht shreya is highly capable...she entered saregama with a song like SUNO JI ARZ HAI from Lekin which i dont think can anyone even touch except lata ji herself.

she also sang so many beautiful songs like..kuhu boole koyalia, muh se chal kiye jaye, wow

all i want to say is tht luck has been hard on sneha even when she won the finals

WOW i miss those days ....why can't we listen such songs today.....

we MUST REMEMBER tht even how much OUTDATED our Indian classical may....BUT it represents our culture, diversity and reputation, and thats why there is only ONE LATA MANGESHKAR In this country....enuff said abt it.

If you relate the song of that time with culture then offcourse those songs are outdated because culture of that era is outdated. And if you do not related with culture then those songs can be called as "Evergreen".

well wat i can say..only the judges can tell how sneha won over shreya during the finals? The judges were the best from the classical music industry...like Khayaam saab, Pandit Jasraj, Anil Biswas and other big names...at that time...the result was directly dependable on the judges...

I would differ a bit. The judges were different. Possibly, they were the younger Mangeshkar sisters(not Lataji and Ashaji) whose judgment cannot be said to be infallible. Someone of Shreya's caliber comes once in a while. She has proved herself in almost every Indian language(Hindi, Malayalam, Bengali, Tamil, Marathi and so on) - something which no modern singer in India has done (proving themselves in so many languages, only Sonu Nigam perhaps come a bit close).

PS. I don't believe in connections or PR Agents for rising to the top of your work. In my opinion, these factors may be important for 2nd level or 3rd level singers, but for top of the line singers like Shreya Ghoshal, Hariharan, Sonu Nigam, Sukhvinder, Shankar Mahadevan, etc these factors are not that important. The only luck needed is getting in the initial few breaks. After that it entirely the singers own caliber.

Sare gama pa was the show in 1996, which organized a children's special with mega finals with two little surili angels.......Sneha Pant and Shreya Ghosal.

Shreya Ghosal and Sneha Pant gave neck to neck fight to each other...If shreya sang Suniyo Ji from LEkin flawlessly, Sneha sang ;Morre ghar aaye sajanwa' with a grace and amazed everyone.

at the Mega finals it was very difficult who shall win...but Sneha Pant won the mega finals...and shreya lost...

But Fate has something else for them.....Even after losing a compettiton....Shreya Ghosal became a superstar and Sneha even after winning the title had to satisfy herself in singing in few films and albums..

well thats' fate...😛

I agree...luck has an equal role along with talent in film industry. Shreya is undoubtedly talented, but she was even more luckier to get the initial offers and break the way she did. Not only Sneha Pant, i heard few beautiful singers, who didnt get many songs in my native language due to lack of PR as they stated in their interviews. Hope Sneha pant finds her luck too in future.

Shreya also is excellent in singing classical, like i mentioned she sang some phenomenal classical songs..somehow sneha managed to impress them

anyways...i have heard tht Rahul Vaidya was also there and came last in the finals.

^^

yeah, i think i remember her saying that Anand-ji was the main reason for her and her family to leave their home and settle in mumbai. then of course as well all know, SLB offered her first big break in Bollywood, then the rest is history! 😃

Shreya managed great heights bcoz she was truely talented & unique too in terms of not only singing skills but also her beautiful voice quality, I mean there are soo many singers who came before her & after her & went. Many even got alot of public attention & Hype but never made any significant achievement in bollywood.
