I had doubts about whether Alka is jealous of Sanchita since she has already established herself. Though I consider her a good singer ( I prefer Shreya and of course Nihira as better singers), I always gave her the benefit of doubt because of her vast experience. But what happened in last night's episode really makes me think otherwise.
Here is a rendition of "dard se mera daman bhar le " by Sanchita. This is one of Jagjit Singh's best compositions and speaks of his pain and suffering (evidently after the death of his son ). Latadidi with her significantly reduced quality of voice has done a great job in the original. Here Sanchita makes you cry with her own expression. Abhijeet and Bappi da were mesmerised and wholeheartedly gave A+ but Alka as usual gave only an A . To add to it she gave a stupid comment saying the high notes were weak . These comments sounded all the more foolish after Jagjit Singh , the composer himself complimented Sanchita by saying that she had taken some "Jagahe" better than even the original. Mind you, here is somebody giving comments knowing that the other rendition is by the great Latadidi.

Now, does'nt that raise serious doubts about Alka's intentions as far as Sanchita is concerned?
Enjoy.
