Updates for 25-Nov-05

Hi all,

Today's performance round was called RDX--RAHUL DEV BURMAN's EXPLOSIVE SONGS!!!!!

The show opened with a nice performance of MEHBOOBA MEHBOOBA by all the contestants.

Then JAI HO gharana was the first to perform...

HEMACHANDRA was disappointing in his performance of BACHNA AE HASEENO....in the "MENTOR-METER" ID gave him 7, HR & JL gave 3 each. HEMA said his voice was not ok....n AS defended him, but when JL n HR tried to xplain their low votes AS was very fiery n went to the extent of saying "HEMA bohat bura gaata hain, koi bhi usse vote mat dena plz!!!" 😲 😕 I had a feeling this was just the beginning of the war of words.

HIMANI performed next and did well with the song JAANEJA(DHIN TINAK DHIN NISHA one)....her votes were ID-8, HR-6, JL-8...n AS praised her performance.

RAJEEV was not up to the mark with DEKHA NA HAI RE...his vote ID-6, HR-4, JL-3....n AS again raised the issue that the track for RAJEEV was not suitable for his high range voice..the other mentors also agreed.

Then came the sole survivor from DUM gharana...SHARIB....he was his usual best with his performance of YAMMA YAMMA...his votes were ID-9, HR-8, AS-7..n JL urged the public to vote for him so that he could fulfill his dreams.

Next came the YALGAAR gharana......

TWINKLE was first up...n her performance was far better than last week n she seemed to b concentrating more on her singing as she performed HATOOBA....her votes were HR-6, JL-5, AS-5....ID said "Aajke performance ke bare mein mera koi gila shikwa nahin hain..main khush hoon!"

DEBOJIT was up next and he disappointed with DIL LENA KHEL HAIN DILDAR KA.....his votes were HR-5, JL-5, AS-2.....n ID criticised him saying "Itne chumme milne ke baad to tum bigadte jaa rahe ho....age bado nahi to chumma wapas de do"...DEBU tried to say "Gala kharab hay" but ID was having none of it.."Har koi yehi kehta hain...gala kharab hain to gaana mat gao..hamare sar mat khao!!"

And then came the best performance of the evening👏 👏 👏👏...NIHIRA just blew everybody away with her performance of HARE RAMA HARE KRISHNA...if I remember correctly the song was originally sung by USHA UTHUP n ASHA-ji...n NIHIRA showed why she's considered the best, by singing the song which is in two different octaves(base for USHA UTHUP n higher notes by ASHA-ji)...n no wonder all the mentors were showering praises on her...perfect 10 from all three mentors second week in a row...ID just said "Aapna consistency aise hi rakhna...pura 10 pane ki chakkar mein pagal mat hona!"

Remaining gharana was JAI HO.....

VINEET performed well in AAJA AAJA....but AS raised the issue that the track created for VINEET was custom made so as to help him..n without that help (a click sound that helped VINEET keep his notes correct) he wouldn't have sung so well....HR reacted angrily n the war of words continued...finally the mentors voted..ID-9, JL-7, AS-10..n he said " Main isse 10 de raha hoon iss ka koi importance nahi hain...main 3 bhi de sakta tha....ya 1....ya kuch bhi nahi..."

UJJAINI was good with her performance of DUNIYA MEIN LOGON KO..her votes were ID-9, JL-8, AS-6...HR said she was getting back to the level when she performed HAAN MAINE CHUKAR DEKHA HAINin an earlier episode.

Finally PARESH performed JAHAN TERI YEH NAZAR HAIN...but this was not his best performance..his votes ID-9, JL-5, AS-10.....n HS said he was happy n that PARESH should ask for votes in Gujrati...but PARESH stammered n couldn't get the words out n said he's forgetting Gujrati while learning Hindi.😊

The show ended with the appearance of surprise guest n SA RE GA MA's own KUNAL GANJAWALA..he reminsced bout his beginning n performed DEKHA NA HAI RE...which was also his first song in SA RE GA MA way back when...we got to c the clip of very young looking KUNAL with the then host SONU n surprise surprise the judge in the background was young looking AADESH!!!😆

Anyways that was the show...hope u njoy the update!!!!

Thanks so much for updates... 👏 👍🏼

WEll i was dissappointed that hema couldn't sing as i'm a big fan of him. Hope public will notice that his voice was really bad and he couldn't sing b'coz of that reason only 😭 . Otherwise he is a straight green card winner all the time. HOpe he doesn't get yellow with this performance.What say all fans of hema?????

I guess if HR custom made the song for vineet then that not fair.

AS is not sport enough to take criticism of his team members. He could not digest the fact that Hemachandra did not sing well. While he makes all kinds of execuses for Hemachandra and Rajeev not singing well he cannot accept the fact that Vineet sang well. His comments are an insult to HR and Vineet. There is nothing wrong in making some changes to suite ones style. He has no right to find fault with the ways of other Mentors. In earlier rounds even AS had changes the pitch of a song sung by his contestant (I think it was Raktima) to suite her. AS is just a person of double standards and is jealous. He never likes Vineet and today he got a changes to vent his frustration because Hemachandra did not sing well. What a pity! I think it is high time Rajeev is out now.

If Vineet did not sing well then how come JL, who were very critical in ranking today, gave him 7/10 which is better than many of their other ranking. ID gave him 9/10. Even AS agreed that he sang well. His objection was that he could not have sung well on the original track. I am no great fan of Vineet personally but AS comments were not justified.

Nihira is unstoppable. She HAS to win now! She has got more tens in the last two weeks than all participants combined!
