I think I should have explained about paresh and the story which I thought was pathetic. Him telling Salman that "salman was his inspiration. In HDDCS how he came from foreign country to india just to learn music". Now he could have said that in many other episodes before. But He just picked a good time (an opportunity) to relate Salman's movie story with what Paresh was doing. I guess may be you missed that part. I found that lame. This is my opinion.
Now that does not take away anything from what he has accomplished in this 4 months. I give him all the credit for being NRI and having language barrier he is still doing wonderful job. His singing does not show that this guy can't speak hindi. I have no problem giving him credit for all the things you mentioned in your post. I am also NRI so I do understand younger generation having difficulty of not only speaking their mother tongue but other languages like Hindi. Than again that should not be the deciding factor about him being best. Now all 12 finalist are equal & they should fight for their spot being #1 with their singing attributes nothing else.
Hope I explained myself. Thanks.
I think you have not seen tvsrgmp regularly. In one of the episode where jagjit singh was judge , he asked paresh where did he learn music for which he replied that he learned from ustad --[name i dont remember] the bandish, ghazal, bhajans and other light music in UK &nbs p; &nbs p;
As regard to 'paresh said that salman was his inspiration . there is nothing wrong . he must have watched salman's movie in UK and may have become his fan. [ since salman is the judge and he got the opportunity to express his mind which he got rarely] just like that any fan cannot go to salman's house so he took the opportuity to express his view on him with salman. [ for your information my son who is in US is also a salman's fan and he never miss his movie but my daughter-in -law is a fan of amitabh bachan and abhishek bachan and she never miss to c his movie] who knows a day will come that these three [paresh, himeshji and salman] may form a circle in the future . [like mukesh, rajkapoor, and shankar jaikishan] singing is nothing to do with speaking. shreya ghoshal, sadhana sargam and ashaji, uditnarayn's song's in tamil were a big hit but i dont think they can speak tamil. Please do not mistake me that I am unnecessarily arguing with u. That is not my intention, i am just clearing your doubt. and i just wanted to encourage these NRI boy who has taken so much interest in indian/hindi songs.[even though they are residing in abroad.] that I appreciate.
