Agnipariksha- Results episode 8/12/05

Today's theme- Shaadi.

All the participants started with the song- Mehndi laga ke rakhna from DDLJ. All of them looking nice dressed in shaadi kind of clothes. Rajiv was given the dafli this time.

Aadesh is back today but Jatin Lalit are missing.

Now the results- The first gharana to be called is Yalgaar gharana and the participants from this gharana are Nihira, Debojit and Twinkle. All of them nervous. Shaan asks Twinkle whether she thinks she will do a hat trick of yellow lights. She hopes that this time she will not be part of trishanku.

Debojit is the first one and gets green with 12.544% vote and is delighted (after some bad performances, in my opinion, he should have been in the bottom three). Thanks the viewers.

Twinkle is the next one and she also gets green card and her vote share is 11.075 (not sure of the last digit). She is obviously very happy.

Nihira is the next one and the most unexpected think happens- she gets a yellow! Nobody can believe it. Ismail is most disappointed that a singer like nihira is not getting votes from audience.

Twinkle sings Taare hain barati from Viraasat. Very good beginning, a Jaspinder Narula song which suits twinkle's voice. But falters……….the rest of the song huge disappointment- sur, tal….everything haywire…….very bad at lower notes- shaky voice. I think she deserved to be in bottom three.

Debojit's shaadi song is tere ghar aaya, mein aaya tujhko lene……not very good but ok- better than some of his last performance. But he has slipped and may not survive for too long.

Now the next gharana is Rock gharana and the singers are Vinit, Ujjaini and Paresh. All of them tense, specially Ujjaini.

Paresh gets 10.297% of votes and is through to the next round. Thanks the viewers.

Next is Ujjaini and she gets 10.228% votes and cannot believe her luck.

Vinit from Rock gharana is also clear with 14.168% of the votes and goes to the final 8. Himesh is obviously very happy with all his contestants going to the next round- comes and gives vinit something to cover his head (topi does not suit the Indian shadi dresses that they are wearing.

Paresh is the first one to perform with the song Chal pyar karegi with ujjani joining him. Very well sung- he knows his limitations and stays within those to perform really well.

Ujjaini is the next one who sings Le ja le ja………seems a little nervous but performs ok- good energy and softness combined in her singing.

Vinit, the orginal rock gharana singer, sings Mahi ve and in the end is joined by paresh and Ujjaini. Ok, but I think it was not as good as it could have been. The voice was not very soothing…something not right.

Now the gharana left is Jai ho gharana and it has three contestants out of which two will be in yellow gharana-so who is the safe participant from this gharana? Rajiv is as usual very nervous and I think knows that he will be in bottom three which is correct. He gets yellow card and is part of the trishanku. Now between Himani and Hema- Himani goes through to the next round with 15.489% of vote and is the top singer this week. She is delighted and is very happy to know that she is the first female singer to top the voting. Aadesh is pre occupied and does not respond to her happiness (I think he is very disappointed with hema being in the bottom three)- Shaan seeks his attention and AS blesses Himani. Hema is obviously in the bottom three and takes it very sportingly.

Himani sings another Narula number- Sabki barate aayin…….very well sung- amazing control over her voice, good feeling.

Now the final results- Rajiv, hema and nihira- who will be out this week? Everybody is tense. All three perform their shaadi numbers.

Hema is the first one with Mujshe shaadi karogi……..well sung- good masti which he brought- good energy…a little accent problem but not too much. Overall,a good performance. Nihira sings Didi tere devar and is as usual perfect- she is a little nervous and that shows but her voice and sur obviously do not show that- I think she needs to work a little on her expressions- she had excelled in last few rounds and is capable. Rajiv sings Ek punjaban from Major saab- falters- misses a little coordination bit with the other singers as well. Hema tries to support him by singing in the background.

The results- Rajiv clears the round with 9.058- shaan tells him that he should not be so nervous and perform to his best ability. So, now it has to be between Nihira and Hema. The mentors are extremely disappointed because they are two of the best singers who are trained as well. Shaan hands over two envelopes to the contestants and tells them to open them and see their percentage of vote. And, the most amazing thing happens- Both get 9.053% vote and are tied at the bottom. SMS, land line and internet polls- together nihira and hema have got exactly the same number of votes. Both go to the next round- the mentors are happy. The show ends with mehndi laga ke rakna.

Thanks for the update Pmahesh. I felt as if I was watching the show live on my pc. I am sure I am going enjoy watching as much next week as they telecast it here in Singapore.

Comment on the mentor's behaviours' yesterday:

ID knew the results beforehand. You could make it out as he said he was not happy with janta. He said he feels the same as JL and will not hesitate to say it if they err again.
AS was, as priti said, was too preoccupied when it was announced that Himani had topped.
HR was going on and on about the votes given by public. He was stressing the fact that Hem and Nihira got equal number of votes up to the last one. My guess is that he wanted to convey to public that the results were rigged albeit iunder disguise (being a mentor, being part of the show he should not ne doing it). His words were I think, cut in the middle. He is really very chaalu.
HR again went on and on about Vinit, gifting him a pagdi this time. All of a sudden, it flashed to him that he had other 2 contestants also. Naam ke vaaste un logon ke baare ek sentence bole. How mean of him!!

Comment on some of the partcipants' behaviour:

Twinkle jumping up and down in spite of being warned by ID. She was off her head. I don't think she sang that well, last week she gave a suprisingly good show.
Vinit was sitting like a rock without any emotions when they announced Hema and Nihira's tie and when Shaan said they were through to the next round. Other showed their happiness very openly. He is conceited. I also did not like the way he walked on to the stage with pagdi on, so much of arrogance!
Himani jumping since she topped. No bad feelings there, she deserved it. But could have shown a little bit of restraint that too when two of her fellow-people were in the bottom.

AS a whole, the show was very short yesterday. My guess is that it was full of controversial statements and complaints, that the producers had to cut it. SRGMP has lost its lustre.

boy anadeep really intelligent observations that i thoroughly agree with. Well about Himani, these people are at WAR with each other and dont really care about the others loss. She is expressing her happiness spontaneously. She wouldnt really care about the others, her gharana or otherwise!!

Your comments were very funny and good to read!!
