So it seems my first topic around here will tend to be a controversial one 😳
It seems to me that some contestants are overrated and are getting more than they truly deserve.
I'll start off with the prime one - Rupali. Seriously, I didn't even expect her to be in top 12. And yet she's parading about scoring higher that contestants that (IMO) are more talented. Mostly there is less of singing in her performance and more of nakhre. A couple of times the judges even praised her dancing/drama instead of singing, and I was like "Is this a singing competition or what?" Especially since she hits too many wrong notes every time, but yet she'll get a 90+ score and all praises from the judges.
Second one will be Jagpreet. I'm not saying he doesn't sing well, because yes, he is very good and his place in top 12 and on is well deserved. My point is that he gets a higher score than others for same level of singing. Take today for example, it wasn't the best of his performances, and Jyotika dominated most of it. I'd say that the performances of Sachin and Harjot or Kushal and Senjuti were at least at par with there performance if not better, but yet they got a whopping 99%. I hate to say this, but it feels like pity votes are involved.
Third would be Zubair. He wasn't exactly overrrated or projected higher than he was, but I felt they left out better contestants for top 12 just to give him a chance. He was good at the auditions and then just lost the spark. Though it might be a loss in confidence, because I know he is talented, but it was unfair to the others to give him a free pass despite lesser votes.
Out of them it's Rupali that bothers me the most 🤢 her singing is mediocre at best and yet she's rated as one of the best 🥱

I love senjuta's voice..lovely voice..
To me looks like..judges want to enjoy the stage performance..they r not judging only singing...😕..hard to say..

pehle ke SRGMP sirf soor-lai-tal singing dekhte the..Yaar..nakhre vagera to stage performance me chahiye..Film songs are sung by singer in the studio and nakhre ke liye..actor actresses hai...

Ruapli is over over rated...jagpreet is overrated too!

Sachin, kushal, harjot, jyotika r doing great!

Yes Senjuti's Moh Moh ke dhaage was beautiful. Both Rupali and Jagpreet's singing style has become repititive. Good to see Tanvir trying something different than his qawallis. Also Agreed that in the duet between Jagpreet and Jyotika, Jyotika was the stronger link.

I don't particularly like Rupali's performances as compared to the others..
I get it like a lot of shouting and it gets irritating at time.
However, she is constantly being praised by the judges..

Yeah I feel the same too.
And IN NO WAY did I find the Gulabo(by Jagpreet and Jyotika- and scored 99) better than the Arziya that Sachin sang when he got 98.
Also in this week's duet- I found Sachin-Harjot and Kushal-Senjyoti's performance at par with Jagpreet-Jyotika's performance. Infact I found Kushal-Senjyoti's performance BETTER than Jagpreet-Jyotika's Gulabo- and still Kushal-Senjyoti got just 92 and Jagpreet-Jyotika 99!

Jagpreet is definitely over-rated, but he is a good singer. 99% was a little too much. I think after a few rounds, they will stop giving him high scores.
Judges don't seem to care about what matters most - the sur and taal. They care more about histrionics and performance. This is a disadvantage to some of the singers.

No. Jagpreet certainly deserves the 99% he's been getting. He has been much stronger than all the other contestants. Of course that's my opinion. But no matter how amazing of a singer he is, he will not win simply because he's from Canada.


Tanvir in my opinion is overrated. He's been getting higher votes than expected. He ruining a beautiful song from Main Hoon Naa. He's good at what he's good at, but I don't see any versatility in him yet.

i dislike rupali as well.i feel she overdoes her singing and the nakhres she does.she annoy me..i wished instead of zubair she would have gotten out.it would be better for the show.

i love senjutis voice,she reminds me alot of shreya ghoshal..hopefully she gets more exposure and opened up more.

Rightly observed n i agree with you. I don't understand why rupali's dance n performance is seen most by the judges n audience as well. It should be pure singing which should be judged.
When a singer has upper hand in his/ her singing, performance will naturally come. So it's not right to give points on the basis of dancing and performance, agreed that some amount of it is required on stage but it should not shadow your singing capacity.

I don't understand why you all think Rupali is overrated. So I'm not a big fan of hers and I certainly think there are better singers on the show. But Rupali is what I would call a PERFORMER! She can sing, maintain her voice, and dance at the same time - a talent very few have. She certainly an all-rounder. The judges, jury, and audience love her because of the fact that she can connect to the audience.
Someone like Jagpreet and Sachin have voices that touch your soul. You def get the feels. Their voice can bring tears to your eyes. But they would not be called performers.

So its good both ways. In the world of Bollywood, I guess if you're playback singing it doesn't matter...because no one can see you anyways. But if you're a stage performer, someone who sings in front of live audiences often then its really important to be a performer!


@_blackrose_ - At your comments. Fair enough that you have your opinions. I beg to differ though. I don't think any of the singers you mentioned have deserved a 99% yet. Obviously as the show goes on that may very well change. Jagpreet has def deserved the 99%s. Yes, he does get the sympathy card. But he really deserves his scores.

About Tanvir...even his kawallis haven't really impressed me that much and his scores in my opinion have been too high. I don't know...Just not a fan of his voice at all.
