I don't know how they split the contestants between Sat and Sun, but the ones that perform on Sunday always have better luck of the draw because of the theme. It gives them more to play with and better songs to choose. That said - how did they choose these songs for the "Bachpan ke din" theme? I'm mystified! 😕
They very deliberately split Jaya and Shashank between Sat and Sun, possibly manipulating their exits, anticipating they would be the lowest scorers. What tricks these channels play! 😕
Anyway, today's episode was so much better and so were the performances! After yesterday's damp squib, I'm happy to be able to at least rate the performances today 😆
1. Hemant Brijwasi: Great song choice! And what a performance! I love this song and he made me love it even more! I agree with Shankar about the little extra harkats he added and made the song his own! Amazing! Flawless! And I eat my words about him sticking to the same genre. With today's performance, he proved he can be versatile with different genres too. 👏👏. He deserved all the tutaaris and then some!
2. Zaid Ali: This kid stole my heart. Such sincerity and such devotion in his voice! He stayed true to the composition, and added his own unique flavor to it. Superb!
3. Rohanpreet: I've always liked him, today was no exception. He did sound a bit off, possibly because of his sore throat, but I daresay I didn't notice a significant difference in his singing which is totally to his credit. I do wish he'd try a different genre, he keeps doing the same old sad, slow, romantic numbers.
4. Rainit: I liked his performance. I don't know why Shankar thought he should've left. In fact, his comment in the end to Shashank left such a bad taste. It didn't make anyone happy - not Shashank, not Rainit and definitely not me. Why did he make that comment? And he didn't vote for Rainit but voted down for Shashank! That shows clearly who he thought was inferior! Then why did he do a turnabout? 😲😡 And I saw Monali was trying to cover up for her faux pas yesterday by commending Rainit's efforts at being able to sing with hearing loss.😡 Sorry, ma'am! The damage you caused cannot be undone. She should apologize.
Anyway, Rainit's performance, though not terrific, was definitely good. I agree he has sung better in previous performances though. This song he picked was good too. Suited his voice. And he did a decent job.
5. Chetan Brijwasi: I don't mean to be harsh, but singing a high energy song doesn't mean screaming it at the top of your voice! You can bring the energy into it by other ways! I'm sorry but I thought he was just shouting and the only reason I'm putting him above Afreen group is because their performance just doesn't work for me.
6. Afreen group and Shashank: They're tied for bottom place for me. I actually thought Shashank wasn't too bad when he started out, but I'm not familiar with the song and I don't know how much justice he did to it. Afreen group sounds like chaos! I don't know why the judges praise them so much. I cannot understand their appeal at all! Tharki Chokro is a great song and they should've infused it with the fun element that the song needs. They were anything but fun! They sounded sad! I had to perk up my ears to figure out if they were indeed singing that song or something else!
All the dramedy with the little kid impersonators, Rainit's mom, Sindhu Tai etc etc- I just sacrificed with my forward button. Three cheers for it! I intend to use it a lot more for this show! 😆
