I thought she did not perform well today in the Benaras episode, especially the song she sang duet with Alka Yagnik. But I dont think it is due to the pressue, but because when you sing a duet with a person like Alka Yagnik who has a very extremely sweet voice, competition is a bit hard. Like I said before, when you sing a famous singers song, the only way to get around is to make that song your own, your unique style, otherwise there is a chance for comparison, todays competition I was comparing Alka and Sanchita, which should never happen, it is a competition between Diwakar, Sameer and Sanchita. Not Sanchita and Alka Yagnik.
But Diwakar, was outstanding, a very superb performance. He sounded very well with Bappida, because Bappida has a different style and so does Diwakar, so there is no chance of comparison, as they are unique, he sounded very original. Diwakar, you need to keep up this tempo in your next two performances. One is your home town, and you have to outshine no matter what. Dont take this as an added pressure, enjoy yourself. and when you stand quietly on stage smile, remember it is important to smile, I noticed you bowed your head in the last song when you waited for your turn, just once it was. But dont we need to see your face to relate to you. Thank the judges before you start singing for all their efforts and ask for their blessings just once. Looks good. Next thing I would pay a VIP seat if I was in Benaras, because you were really good.
The dance and the way you enjoyed the music was amazing, when you have fun we have fun and I liked the song selection, it was upbeat and very lively. Very Good, now you need to do the same, dance, smile, enjoy yourself and most important thing dont lose focus on the song, and give the punches whenever needed, change your voice tone, and also sing low to high.
