Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Totally agree.

Ujjaini performance was better. She did justice to the song and its mood. Song required naughtiness in expression/mood from singer and I think she did it better then original singers (Gayatri Iyer, Sneha Pant, and Meghna Oberoi).

Hi newyorker,
Yeah, she did get the expressions right and like you've said, she was probably better than the original singers....but what do you do if you dont like the song at all?!!! Unfair to judge the singer based on a poor song, but I guess that does tend to happen.

You must have noticed how Bass guitar notes are being played increasingly on keyboards these days,it takes the soul off, what matters is the notes of Bass guitar & rhythm, rest instruments fill in for verses.
Most of the songs these days sound like remixes and within a week we hear their remixes as well.....!!!
This was the connecting link between Panhamda & Illaiya Raja.

True ……

We all have different taste and liking when it comes to song/music. Most of contestants are very talented, and I hope they know how to maximize their vote by singing songs that not only does justice to their talent but also gets the message across.

Thought I'd put my two cents in with regards to the show i watched last night...the one based on Shahid K and Amrita R's songs. If I were distributing awards that night...here's what they'd look like:

1. Award for the PERFORMANCE OF THE EPISODE:
DEBOJIT singing "Aaje ve maahi lets do..." from Fida

No doubts there. Have never bought into Debu as a performer, but yesterday, he completely out-performed everyone.Easily switched between the spoken part and the singing part. His accent was perfect, his communication with his audience was perfect. Dancing not so perfect, but you cant have it all!

2. Award for the SINGER OF THE EPISODE:
HEMCHANDRA singing "Ishq Vishq pyaar vyaar"

Beautifully sung, pitch perfect voice modulation, sang it with so much emotion. Its not easy to switch between singing full throated and then immediately moving to a low, soft tone. He did it so beautifully that it brought goosebumps to my flesh.To me, his performance last night was a perfect ten.

3. Award for BETTER THAN ORIGINAL SINGER:
HIMANI singing "Chale Jaise Hawayein..." It is NOT a difficult song to sing, and is actually quite flat with few variations. It requires a singer with a rich, open voice (unlike Vasundhara Das, the original singer)...Himani demonstrated that beautifully.

4. Award for DANCER OF THE EPISODE:
TWINKLE performing to "Chot Dil pe lagi...." I do like Twinkle's voice, but she proved without doubt yesterday that she needs to work desperately on her range and voice modulation. She sang the high part well enough, but went completely flat in the lower register. Her "cute" dance moves directed at Shahid K were the only memorable thing about her performance!

5. Award for MOST STRESSED PERFORMER (S)-
TIE between NIHIRA and VINEET. Nihira sang a soft, romantic number...sang her song well enough, but looked really uptight while doing it. As a result, fell short on the emotional quotient.

Vineet sang "Gustaakh Dil" Thought that song was perfect for him..originally sung by Sonu Nigam, composed by HR, a fun song. Vineet should have nailed the song.Instead, he rushed through the song and looked really awkward while performing. Watch out HR...your excessive attention is getting to your Shagird!

6. Award for MOST THANDA PERFORMANCE:

Again TIE between RAJEEV AND PARESH. Paresh sang "Kubakoo...", an ordinary song made special by Shaan's singing and Shahid's dancing...Paresh doesn't sing like Shaan and certainly doesn't dance like Shaahid!

Rajeev took a catchy song like "Nazar nazar" and made it completely ordinary. The refrain in the song, "Nazar, nazar..dhoonde usse..." that is the best part of the song...have to modulate your voice, emphasize the words "Nazar, nazar"...Rajeev sang the whole song in a dull, spaced out voice.

7. Award for OK BUT NOT GREAT PERFORMANCE:
UJJAINI singing "Saiyyan ji...". It was a cute performance, but no great shakes.

8. Award for MOST ANNOYING PERSON OF THE SHOW:
Wait a minute..i've run out of contestants...thats right..this award goes to AMRITA RAO! Isn't there a saying to the tune of..if you dont have anything clever to say, keep your mouth shut....well, she's never heard of that phrase apparently. Her comment "I liked your song best when you stopped and pointed at me" was the height of vanity and silliness!

9. Award for MOST SENSIBLE PERSON ON THE SHOW-
SHAAHID KAPUR....didn't say much...focussed on promoting his movie, which is what they were there for...if only he had given Amrita some pointers before the show!

Thats it. End of long rant!

I agree!! Rajeev and Paresh did not sing well at all last night. As for Vineet, he sang really good, the song really suited him I thought he did good. Nihara also sang beautifully, she is one of the best female contestants on the show, I wish her all the best in the future. As for Ujjani, I agree. I did not really like her performance, I was disappointed I expected more from her.

Shahid was an awesome guest, he knew exactly what to say and when to say it! Amrita kept searching for words!! I also liked the little kid, I don't know his name the one who acted as Aishwarya's son in Kuch Naa Kaho...he spoke brilliantly at the ending of the show. Out of all the guests that Sa Re Ga Ma has had I would have to say that Amrita and especially Shahid were the best!! Great Analysis of the show by the way!!😛

Hi radz_2_cool,
Thanks for reading and for commenting!

Hi bollywoodcrazed,
Yeah, the kids were cute. I liked the look of Shahid's brother. He just had the most fun, mischevious look about him.

Thanks a ton for the comments.

Hi musicbuff, aww no problem. You made some really good points, a belated welcome to India Forums and to SRGMP forums!!

i think the hema n debo's performance had the greatest impact. the others were good but not as good and i thought vinit wasn't as good as hema so hema din deserve the same marks as vinit. in da gals himani n nihira were good.
