Awe inspiring Asha Bhosle

It is heart warming and awe inspiring to see Asha ji blessing the show. Edited by Indradhanush - 11 years ago

Nice to see you here my friend Indradhanush ji, Edited by JasToronto - 11 years ago

Namaste Indra bhai, glad to see you still hanging around. Asha ji is like a breath of fresh air for this stale show totally dominated by the likes of Anu Malik. I hold him solely responsible for the sub-standard quality of singing on this show for the past 5 seasons and believe this time will be no different. In my opinion even Sunidhi & Salim are better than Anu in their judgement and appraisal of singers. My interest in this show is only towards  the budding singers who treat us with their raw talent and unbridled enthusiasm for music. 

At the same time i feel Ashaji will be sidelined by Anu Malik's imposing attitude in the coming weeks, he will try to project himself to be the last word on everything  and we will witness the singing going down the drain. At least we should be thankful this time that we will not be subjected to horrors like Farah Khan & Sonali Bendre on the panel.

Having said that I 'm looking forward to discuss about Ashaji and her evergreen songs. Let's keep our focus.

For starters here is one of my favourites, I feel as if Madhubalaji is herself singing, great picturisation, wonderful expressions, Ashaji in her naughtiest best in this song.

... and this one a totally different song with deep pathos & melancholy. Wonder if these kind of soulful melodies will be ever made again.

Here is an interesting youtube comment on this video,

Initially, Asha Bhonsle could not bring the depth of sadness in her voice as required for the song. S. D. Burman knowingly asked her if she doesn't remember her brother. This brought tears to her eyes as the relations between the two were strained which Dada knew. After that the song was recorded in one take.

Is it true, can anybody corroborate this?

Asha ji was very versatile, if she could sing dum maro dum , reminding of anti establishment , pshychidelic view of life, songs like jhoote naina bole immediately proves her grasp over classical nuances. 

Last time she often left stage before results were announced as Trishanku pointed.

Regarding comment on Anu Malik downgrading the show, we must not forget the show is entirely scripted.

i think she is amazing singer and she seems so spot on about things like feel to voice and all...i feel these days people try to sing too upscale to impress judges..

😊Asha ji confirmed this incident on air in yesterday's episode. So here's one more of her gems from the same movie

I am very happy Asha ji is on the show.  The best part so far has been she is giving us some lines in her voice and that is mesmerising.  It is a blessing to see her and hear her.

Ashaji is really bringing credibility to the show. This year, according to me, we have a really good selection of singers in the top 10 and I think some credit goes to Ashaji for that. I actually look forward to watching the show because of her.
