These days to be successful one has to do more than just singing. Even Sonuji is complaining about not much assignments. Singers with classical and musical knowledge can become MDs and that is what they should be aiming for, apart from releasing their own records. I believe the most successful playback singer now is Shreya among the ladies. For the men there seem to be so many singers now. My favourite RFAK has been able to stand on his own too. For singers from SRGMP looks like Road Shows will provide a steady income for now. Debu Saha must be doing the same too.

HakkaBakka ji, I think I don't know who in this industry did not sing in someone else's voice. See Mukesh and many others in Bollywood copied Saigal. If you listen to Lata Mageshkar, Asha Bhonsle's old songs it sounded like old (nasal) singers in their early days. Kumar Shanu, Abhijit, Sonu Nigam and others reminds me of Kishore Kumar, Mohd. Rafi e.t.c. So I am not sure why you keep saying ghisa pita singer. Let me point out even Raja sounds like Sukhwinder and I noticed that he prefers to sing his songs and he does a pretty good job of that too. There is nothing wrong with that. Furthermore remember these kids are only kids they have a long way to go, their voices are gonna go through metamorphosis like every one elses. I said they will be great singers if they keep up with their riyaz, work hard and remain down to earth. Let's be positive and encourage these singers.😊

Agree with you at lot of points. But if you see, Mukesh was better singer than Saigal, Lata and Asha Bhosle copied singers of their time but can you imagine they would have got this success by copying. Sonu Nigam was Rafi saheb clone and did not get success until he made his own voice, nobody can say Sonu's playback singing is like Rafi saheb, offcourse he can sing Rafi saheb song better than other. Same with Raja, if he sings and copy Sukhwinder, he will not succeed that is why none of his playback song is in Sukhwinderisque voice, but yes he can sing Sukhwinder's songs better than other. Offcourse Abhigyan, Anamika and Priyanka are kids but foundation should be correct, none of three is perfect.

Today you must be talented but more than that you need to have some connection in the industry. I know that for a fact because I have a family member in the Bollywood industry. On top of everything you must have some luck too, Summerji. You right about these singers, they are flying all over the country and abroad and making a lot of dinero. Which is just wonderful, Sonuji I heard charges per show $100.000!

Thanks that is good. Sonuji is a well known name and has a lot of fans. I am so glad that people are still interested in attending live shows. But as the singers get older they do not have that much energy.
yes connnections are important and also good PR skills or marketing agent.
Sad to see good singers not getting anywhere in life, could be no luck and no connections.
Bad singers with X Factor and appeal do better then a lot of good singers with no connections.
Generally I am also glad that several good singers are coming from Pakistan.
Of course Shael is my favourite too. Such a smooth voice and great compositions.
Aneek too should be coming up with some compositions of his own, he is multi talented.

Good quality Voice Good quality voice
Unique Voice Already heard voice(Clone)
Perfect on Sur & Taal
Whether it is Abhigyan or Priyanka or Anamika or anybody else if they failed any of these basic criteria at any point of time can not be successful. Offcourrse there are more criteria than I listed, but for now I look these criteria. These are my criteria, others may have other.

Whatever your formula is, the truth is that Sonu, Shreya, Sunidhi and Shaan are ruling the industryand I'm sure they fall in your category of 'ghisa'pita' voices. And the ones whom you like the course high-pitched voices have limited fan following.
As for reality show singers only Monali Thakur and Toshi are successful rest all are struggling. And Anwesha, Nihira,Abhas, Aneek they are all great singers and have 'ghisa pita' voices, still judges considered them the best.
we need all kinds of voices and by denigrating Abhigyan you are showing yourself immature and incapable of judging talent. Or maybe you're jealous he outhsone Raja on Friday?😳

Hey are you craz? why are you talking non-sense? Jealous of Abhigyan, too laughable. Abhigyan ki aoqaat hi kaya hai abhi? He is kid, dont be blinded in supporting your regional champ. Pray for him to become a singer and stop thinking him as a star. you are making mockery of yourself by comparing with Raja and saying this stuff.
Note: Don't attack member personally, I also know how to attack. Izzat do izzat lo. Keep your comment limited to contestant.

There is some power of projection that everyone has in their respective area of understanding. By that ability it can be predicted (not taking luck factor into account) from the current indications who is likely to be how and where in the future. Lataji said about Sunidhi "Yeh ladki bahot door jayegi, bahot naam karegi" when she was merely 11-12. Gavaskar said Sachin was going to surpass him when he was around 14-15.

There are many, connoisseurs and ordinary music lovers, who believe Abhigyan has great possibilities. His 'albeli naar' was not another good performance. It was different. it was amazing! I have the original song in my collection and have listened to Abhigyan's minutely, many times. He did all the murkis and harkats quite effortlessly. Even many top contestants (not Parthiv, Vijay Prakash or Amanat) in seniors' contests tend to simplify classical-based songs to their convenience (Aneek and even Raja somewhat simplified their songs in the ghazal/semi-classical round in Ch-07). And after that, he sang all kinds of songs of all sorts of singers with the same ease.

The argument shouldn't be like 'So what if Abhigyan sings well now. He is a kid after all.'
The fairer assessment should be like 'Abhigyan is a youngster, and yet he is doing things that we rarely get to see even in seniors' competitions.

I pity them who fail to appreciate a youngster who has shown so much promise.

Seeing the intense emotional debates being generated on simple things 😆, I think that the following poem still holds good. It was written long time back, but the ideas are relevant even today 👍🏼

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow
domestic walls;

Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the
dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought
and action--
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

-- Rabindranath Tagore

Hey Google ji your ears are pretty sharp. Thanks for taking the trouble in providing an assessment. Are you a singer too ?😉
