Brahmashtra round
The mentors along with their final contestants sang some songs
AS- Missed the song (anybody please fill in)
ID- Hai agar dushman
JL- Aa dekhein zara
HR- yudh kar
The brahmashtra round begins- Himesh has got the maximum votes so he got the chance to call back six contestant- three boys and three girls of his choice.
No judges for the day as the two winners will be decided through public voting. Theme was the recent numbers and the dress code Black.
Everybody said that HR had got all these votes because of Aishwarya and so he would be called.
Himesh decided to call Dilshaad and said that he was unlucky to have lost.
Dilshaad sang Ye hawaein gungunaye from Parineeta. Bad song selection- this is not the genre he is good at- he should have selected a sad song…….sang ok….as usual a little bit of breath problem.
Next to be called was Sanchali. JL were delighted at HR's choice.
Sanchali sang Jave jave jave mere dholna- good singing, perfect sur and pitching- good energy in the performance. I do find her a little nasal but she was quite good.
Shaan asked her if she had learned dancing as well and she said that for some time. All the mentors praised her and said that she turned out to be a performer. JL said that she was a simple girl with specs when she came in but now she has been transformed and has had positive improvements.
ID went to coaxing HR to call his Vineeta and joked that though HR is suppose to be his friends, he has called JL's contestant.
So the next contestant to be recalled by HR was Paresh.
Paresh sang- Ada from Garam Masala (I am not sure of the movie). Good energy, good performance, a little weak on the sur but he makes it up in other ways.
The mentors started their old Wah ji wah with Paresh and ID said that he had run away with his fees for the English coaching.
Next in line Ujjaini- Jatin was overwhelmed and said that he wanted to take a pappi of HR. ID said that if he knew that the paapi could get his contestant in, he would have also tried as HR sits next to him.
Ujjaini- Naam Ada likna from Yahaan- a very soft song sung very softly but I think her throw of words were not very good- a little too much of a whisper……and the sur also not perfect- not one of her best performances.
The next and final boy to be called was ofcourse Aishwarya.
Aishwarya sang Paone baarah baje…what's going on. Good energy and performance. His voice also sounded very good……..not very polished but quite good.
The last one to be called was Vineeta. ID said that he was only taking HR's test and in actual Vineeta is not well and was not able to make it here and so he is going to call the girl about whom he had said that she has come from far and will go very far- no point for guessing- Joyeeta.
Joyeeta was wearing a black sari and was looking nice. She chose the song Laga laga re…...laga prem rog from maine pyar kyon kiya. Surprisingly sang very well though I thought there was not much in the song to perform- if one got the laga laga line properly- most of songs comprised of that. But she sang well, good control over sur, no nasal tone evident….
JL said joyeeta had sung very well today, AS said that she should always wear sari as she looks nice in that.
Now the audience is suppose to vote for the contestants and not the gharana- All the contestants asked for vote in their own way- some people using their mother tongue.
The voting can be done through sms as well as land line.
