I thought someone needs to guide Manasi in selection of her songs. She is a good singer but since this is also a competition, what judges need to see is that how well she renders the song. On 12th she decided to go for a classical song with Raja and she stepped outside of her comfort zone and in order to just prove her versatility, and possibly to prove her grip over the "sur" better than others, she axed her own leg (she screwed it up!!!). In competition you stick to your strengths and mostly what you can deliver with ease. Raja in fact sang with much more grace which made her look more like a struggling singer.
So someone needs to tell her, its alright missy, just calm down, complacency can kill. Excellence is also a self-induced stress and in case of singing its a great risk and the chances of losing marks are high and especially when others can score good points by singing straight forward songs.
Just sing those songs which are within her range and style and she will just be fine and appreciated. Always stay where her strength is. She is already singing songs sung by other singers and its not easy to create the mark as the listeners also have a tendency to compare it with the original. She can experiment once she composes her own songs.
