The episode started with the winners of the green card swananda and hema singing kajra re with Shaan. I must mention that swananda's voice really sounded nice and hema's very powerful.
Theme for the day- Songs composed by ismail darbaar
Judges- Pt. Jasraj and Daler Mehndi
Participants- Sharib, Niladri, Raktima and Joyeeta
The first contestant for the day-
Sharib- Sharib chose one of my favourite Ismail numbers- tadap tadap ke from HDDCS (reminded me of abhijeet's version in Indian idol- he was fantastic). Ideal song chosen by sharib- it has got the dard and the chance to show the range of his voice. Little weak beginning but quick to pick up- very good control, the ease with which he goes from higher note to lower note is really commendable. Did lose sur couple of times but overall a good, heart touching performance. In the end added a little bit where he went a little off key.
Mentors- All the mentors complimented ismail (including judge Jasraj) on a beautiful song, and jasraj mentioned that rongte khade ho gaye- the way sharib sang. The comments were mainly on the song rather than the singing but everyone was happy with the performance. (ismail got emotional talking about how he could not give happiness to his parents as his father passed away just after ID got success from this movie). I am not sure but I think himesh mentioned that this was not sharib's best performance.
Raktima- So someone has become as smart as Ismail- aadesh sent raktima to ismail for training and before the performance started said that the total credit of this performance goes to Ismail as AS did nothing in this. Raktima sang- hum did deke sanam- wonderful composition and very good singing. Raktima, who is very nasal, controlled that very well. She had chosen the sad version and sang really well- very particular about the sure- good emotion.
Mentors- Ismail said that he only got half an hour and in such a short span what this girl has done is really praiseworthy. All the mentors were happy with her performance but the conversation were mainly about the composition.
Niladri- Today was his mentor's day- so he has got the advantage. But I am surprised at the song selection (even niladri did not seem happy with the song). Tera jadoo chal gaya from the same movie. A good song where niladri had ample chance to show his talent but the song is not as good as sharib's. Good performance, did slip few times- but good control. The accent is very evident and I think niladri needs to work on it.
Mentors- They felt that this was niladri's best performance (I sometimes do not understand their opinions) and himesh said that tera jadoo chal gaya.
Joyeeta- After yesterday's dhamaal performance, joyeeta is back in form. She chose a song which I have not heard before ae shabnami (I think). Strange song which does not a set pattern of antara and mukhda- one of her better performance though she did slip in some places.
Mentors- The mentors were all praise for joyeeta- JL complimented ID again for a wonderful composition and since they had not heard this compositon (so I am not the only one) thought they should have listened to it. AS said that she was best. Himesh kept on adding adjectives- Superb, great…….
Duet round-
Girls- Nimbooda from HDDCS- both of them performed well- raktima had better pakkad over sur and joyeeta added lot of expression.
Boys- Wo kisna hai from Kisna. Weak beginning by sharib- he did pick it up but the energy required for this song was missing and he lost sur also. Niladri sang the song vry nicely right energy, right expressions.
The results- Daler again started counting the number of times they slipped on sur. And the end result was that joyeeta and niladri had slipped more times so the winner sharib and raktima.
