And somehow its always with girls whereas with boys its admirable and appreciated, maybe thats how the wrold is. As for Shalini I do admire her confidence and stage presence, she doesn't need to work on that as she has it all in her. Right now she just needs to concentrate on singing better than her competitors which I am sure she must be doing so. She has it in her, she shouldn't lose focus with the show ppl trying to portray her as a pretty girl rather than a good singer...

I think it's really their confidence that gets them as far as they do, because most of them actually lack the ability to sing...at least with sur. sorry. The only reason Shalini made it past the audition round was BECAUSE of her stage presence, but if you don't look at her singing and just play a random part of the song, it will sound bad. You listen to the whole thing, it might sound decent, but if you stop at any clip, she'll just sound screechy. Apart from that, Shalini pretty much killed Piya Re. Either way, she's weaker than the others. Anyway, the similarity between all of them is that they are usually one song or one genre singers. Shalini shied away from the sufi theme and still kind of flopped, but she's mostly a high energy singer. But she doesn't have the voice or the sur. Yashita only sung songs that had some weird sound effect...but we all found out in the classical round or anything out of her comfort zone what her singing ablitiy really was. Now, I don't have a problem with Mauli, since I didn't watch most of that season. From what I saw, they were mostly the same type of songs. And then apparently Mayya Mayya was overhyped. If they didn't sing with the confidence that they do, they probably would just be average singers and probably would end up tenth place or less rather than where they do actually make it.

I will agree with most people on the fact that Shalini is definitely the weakest link so far. Her performance has been mediocre and she has not shown any versatility or growth. Perhaps on the basis of pure vocal skills she should be the one getting eliminated before others.

However, I am one of those strange few people for whom performance is important. Not that I discredit singing or actual skills. For me singers are two categories - the ones you watch live, and the others whose CD you buy.

To me if it should be purely singing it should be on radio, where we only hear their voices and nothing else. I'm sure most people would vote out Shalini if we did not see what she was like and just heard her sing.

For me Shalini is the watch live kind of singer, purely for the confidence, energy level, style and antics. I would not even bother downloading a CD, but would pay for a live show or watch the videos on youtube. I find her like cross between Amy Diamond and Yulia Volkova. Actually, I think she would carry of "Whats in it for me"

If Ashley Simpson and Lindsay Lohan can have music albums (and Ashley can make my ears bleed) why not Shalini.

I think we need a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse kind of musical singing show for all sorts of talent.

Don't you like to see those expressions, the feeling that kinda comes out on the faces of the contestants?

The smile?

Even in pure singing, all these things do come out !

Can we see this all on radio?

Shalini's acts are fine, she is only a little gal...its not her fault she is a brilliant performer and amazes everyone with her confidence level...i always wonder why confident gals are the least liked...for example Mauli was bashed alot during her days, Twinkle and Yashita....all these gals have been bashed the most..and they all have one thing in common in them - all of the were the most confident gals on the stage during their time....now shalini is getting bashed for the same reason....i dont understand why girls being projected more confident than others are not generally well liked???

Besides she is not the only one the judges praise eh? its not like she is the only one that gets a clapping ovation and the rest sitting? the judges are not biased...if someone sings/performs well they get their ''deserved praise'' it doesnt come free! ...i dunno why this gal is getting all kinda remarks just cos Alka gifted her a cosmetic box..what fault is it of hers> and big deal she was the only one that got it...others may get something else in the coming weeks

Performing well and sounding confident is never a minus...if it could help your stage presence then why not use it to the max? so far her performances have been of a high standard...and we still havent seen much of her. She would fix her sur and taal with Practice...but confidence and performance comes naturally which most lack and she has that plus point that many cant have despite having perfect sur and taal

😊

Xoxo
