Update for 1111/05 - Page 2

ar rehman is the best ever music director in india and these songs are greatest , vote for sharib and nihira coz they both deserve ! and plz kick rajiv !

Thanks Priti for the detailed updates. Nachle is originally sung by Daler Mehndi and the Tamil version(the original) rendered by Shankar Mahadevan. Looking forward to the episodes.

Thanks again.

THANKS FOR UPDATE 👏 I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THAT I'M WITH PARESH AND VINEET AND IN GIRLS HIMANI AND UJJANI ALLAH BLESS THEM ALL PLZ VOTE FOR THEM 😳

I dun think Swananda should b kicked out. Her voice was really down the last day. It was clear as she might b facing some throat problem. She's really a well deserved singer n can b competed with Nihira n Himani for the title. Well its a big confusion among girls that whom shall b dropped out. They all r very brilliant competitors from Twinkle to Ujjaini. But if I'm given a choice to drop someone, then I must have voted deliberately for Ujjaini. Among males its true Rajiv shall b kicked out as he's not experienced as others. Boy Sharib, Paresh, Vineet n Debojit's performances really surprised me a lot. They all must get a chane to move ahead.

Hi adnan_rais

Just curious to know... You do not like Hemachandra? Becas no mention abt him in your opinions.. !!! Or you are not sure ???

AS- Hemachandra, Rajeev, Himani and Raktima

ID- Nihira, Twinkle and Debojit

JL- Swananda and Sharib

HR- Paresh,Ujjaini and Vineet.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

Theme for the day- Songs composed by AR Rahman

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

No judges today (audience is the judge) and a new thing (most irritating) has been introduced- Mentometer by which the singers is judged by the mentors (except his own mentor). Green is the highest colour in which there are four levels, yellow and red come next with levels each. The mentors will press that to show their satisfaction.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

The first performer for the day is Twinkle and the rahman song selected by her is Shakalaka baby……good performance as usual- she looks nice- she needs to work a little harder on her singing – some flaws but good energy.

ID said that she had sung and performed very well.

On the mentometer AS- 4, JL-3, HR-4

JL said that they are leaving one for some scope for improvement.

Next Debojit- Ek ho gaye hum aur tum from Bombay- very good performance- sang very well- also performed- I think one of his better performances- did not expect it as this is not his kind of song…but he surprised me. Very good.

ID said that Debojit did very good and he wants to him chuma (matching with huma of the song). JL said that he should also give chuma on behalf of the other mentors. So Debojit ended up getting kissed by ID 5 times…! And debojit also had to kiss Ismail!

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

Nihira chose Ek bagiya mein from Sapne- good song selection- her kind of song- but thought she did not perform as well as she does usually- some singing flaws- no performance either. But on positive side, her voice sounded as nice as ever.

ID said that she did a mistake but sang very well.

Sharib was the next one to perform- the song- Nach le…I am not sure of the song- heard it for the first time…some Punjabi kind of number…sukwinder style. Good singing….he performed as well………thought he was not very clear in the lower notes but very good on the higher ones. But I did not enjoy his performance much.

JL were as usual very impressed with Sharib's performance and called him to bless him.

Swananda from JL's gharana was the next singer and she chose a lovely rahman number- Chupke se from Sathiya. Not very nice singing…her voice was not ok and she had some problem in singing…..her sweetness and good expressions were still there but was not finishing the songs properly.

JL said that all knew her potential and her voice was baitha hua today and hopefully all will understand and vote accordingly.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

Next is Rajeev, the famed singer from Chamba. He chose Shabba shabba hai rabba…..not a good performance, did not sing in the open voice that he is famous for. The feeling and expression there but bad singing.

AS was upset and said that he wants to make it clear that Rajeev was not given the scale which he is good at…ID did try to say in between that it was wrong song selection but AS said that all of them have heard him since beginning and know that he sings in a different scale – he said that let him perform without the track…..and rightly enough Rajeev picked up the song and sang it in a much higher scale and very good (just the first two lines). The mentors agreed and said that they will not rate him on the mentometer today.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

The next Jai ho singer is Raktima- Ye haseen vadiyan…….from Roja- beautiful sogn- rendered in her clear soft voice (still nasal though)- sur is pukka and her performance also good (moved in the stage nicely).

AS said that she had a cinematic voice and she has a very clear voice.

Jatin said that he would request Gajji to give him her performance ka tape- he wants to hear singing as well as see the twirl she took. She was blushing.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

Hemachandra was the next performer. The song chosen by him was Ae ajnabi from Dil se. Very good performance, clear voice, pukka sur- he is certainly a delight to listen to- this time no diction problem- almost perfect performance.

AS was obviously glad by his performance and said that he was as good as it could get.

On the mentometer ID- 4, JL-4, HR-4

HR said that hemachandra was bound to get all the SPB fan's vote and he was one of them.

Himani was the last performer from AS's gharana and sang Que sera sera- good song selection- and equally good performance- she got into the mood of the song and her singing is usually without any hitches- very pleasant on the ear.

AS was delighted and said that she had performed very well.

The next performer is the public favorite Paresh from UK, now in rock gharana. His song selection was very unlike his songs usually-kya karein from Rangeela- tapori song and I was apprehensive that he may not be able to carry the feel…but he was too good- perfect feel, very good singing….his best performance till date.

HR said that all of them have to agree that paresh has sung his best after coming to his gharana…ID said that whatever he had taught paresh- he was using now (some fun).

Ujjaini chose the song main albeli from Zubeida- a difficult melodious song- she sang well, though I think she could have done better- she is more capable- some singing flaws but overall good energy.

HR was happy with her performance and said that she has done well.

Vineet, the star of the HR gharana was the last performer for the evening. His choice of song- Tu hi tu….satrangi re from dil se- very good performance-sang really well- he surprises me every time.

HR said that he was proud of his performance and he should be humble…

The mentors said that rahman should be listening to all of them sing and he will certainly make all these sing for him.

'1

Now next week the one who gets lowest vote, will be eliminated. Who will be eliminated- Rajeev because of the scale problem or Swananda for the voice problem- or is it going to someone else- keep guessing till next week and vote for your favorite singer.

(I have not mentioned voting code for some as I thought they are repeated…will let you all know once I am clear)

Mahesh., the updates given by u is accurate,except one thing to mention about himeshji's comments on vinit and paresh. he said both r in his gharana and it is difficult task for him to judge between two brothers [vinit and paresh] like amitabh bachan and shashi kapoor of dhiwar for which ID joked that those two were real brothers in picture but these two r bichade hue [separate]brothers.but how come u missed to see this part. however the ph no of paresh and ujjaini, their numbers r changed to as shown below.

paresh no is 190 4424 7576 01 ,,,ujjaini 190 4424 7576 02 with sms bearing the same number. [please rectify the number shown by u against paresh as 190 4424 7575 00 [it is 7576 not 7575]

After going through all the messages of the viewers , nobody has mentioned about rakthima who sang the difficult song of yeh hasin vaadiya yeh khula aasman.. her performance was top among all the girls and also as whole. paresh too sang very well.

by the by I dont understand the meaning of < !---[if !supportEmpty Paras]--> < ![endiff]---> what does it mean , can u pl let me know what does that sign stands for.I hv been observing this sign under every para. what does it indicates.

thnxs alot 4 the update can't wait 4 this epi

I think, among the girls Raktima and Himani were terrific on 11/11...
Raktima suprised by carrying such a difficult song so well.. totally on sur.. Himani was great as usual..
Nihira was good, but I think she did some mistakes.. I think, since it was AR Rehman round, she should have selected Sanwaria from Swades (that would have been totally her kind of song).. May be she wanted to show that she could sing other kind of sings also..
Ujjaini also chose a tough song and did well.. but again could have done better..
I believe Swananda and Twinkle could not do justice to their songs at all.. One of them could go!

Among the guys, I think Vinit, Paresh and Hemchandra were brilliant..
Sharib should have chosen a different song, possibly 'Dil Se' title song, or 'Swades' title song..
Debojit was good with his singing..
Rajeev messed it up totally on scale.. I am wondering why AS said that he was given a wrong scale.. didn't they rehearse together and couldn't they have chosen a correct scale to suit him? Now they cannot move away from taking the blame...

Overall, I think - if everyone votes totally based on singing, either Rajeev or Swananda will be voted out!

The other thing that ID (I think it was ID) commented that Rehman is going to get all the 12 participants sing in one or other of his movies.. I think Rehman is a great music director and if these people get a break with him, it will be great!

Thanks for the inputs....i did get a little confused about the voting numbers because....i did not notice the 7576 change initially- i noted it during the re telecast and have made the correction.
