Thank you, Khatarnak ji. Okay, now I get it. I believe I didnt make my earlier post clearer. The looks have nothing to do with the connection - I missed adding the exact words, but from my example you can see that I dont have any problems with Vaishali and Soumen despite their looks because I connect to their voice. Yashita is not bad looking and has a good voice but I still dont connect to her songs. Asma has the looks, but gees, I cannot connect to her at all (her Qurbani - Laila Main Laila song pushed me to tears - how bad a wonderful was butchered!)In short, Vaishali is my favorite because of her voice quality and sur. Prathibha also won my heart, because of her voice and sur, and her looks are simple and innocent too. Debo has no looks, but some of his songs have taken a dive into my heart. Soumen's case is the same - no matter how he looks, his voice and sur will make for it. Zaheer has the voice, but he turns me off - same as Yashita. I dont know why. Even when the audience and the judges seem to be enjoying, I cannot. I wonder whether listening to his music on audio would have made any difference. There are singers whom I dont know about the looks, but still not connect to me or vice versa. There are hundreds of songs I started to like just by hearing...Well, if I look back at C07 show, I had the same issue with Aneek and Mussarat, whereas I could connect very well to the songs of Raja, Amanat and Poonam. TRrust me, it has nothing to do with the region or religion, as there arent anyone on the show who would qualify in that category for me. I agree Shujat had some consistency issues, but I started to like him from the beginning, so it didnt matter to me much. Then there is Sara who was okay for me in the beginning and became a big turn off later. Faraz was neither in my good books nor bad books. I actually liked Farhan Zaidi more from the half dozen bunch from Pakistan - he was the 2nd runner up in SRGMP USA. The 1st runner up Jeffrey Iqbal was my all-time favourite...BTW, a correction - when I say okay, it doesnt mean Average - it means more than Average - like Superhit or 7.5 to 8 out of 10. I apologize if I had conveyed the meaning as Average in my earlier posts. No, I have no hard feelings. We all come to this forum to discuss SRGMP related topics, and each one has personal choices and opinions the same way I do. So I dont have a problem with it. 😊 😃
No thank you Akanna Ji and personally I like both Vaishali and Prathiba along with Zaheer as my top 3, so our difference is only on the 3rd choice and that's cool.
