With the final stages of srgmpss nearing, the war among the fans is hotting up. Sniti bashing is reaching a crescendo as her opponents see her as the strongest threat to the title. Whether she will be able to reach the final itself is a different matter as there are lots of factors working. But the sheer thought of her being in the final at the cost of their favorites is making her opponents nervous. The level of frustration has reached such a level that intemperate language is also being used like shit, crap,. People have begun to say that she does not have sur, taal, also.
Some people are also scouting through the whole forum and if some thing is written against Sniti , they are pushing the "like" button.
We are passionate fans and there is nothing unnatural about it. Not a single singer's voice in the bollywood suits all the songs.Otherwise we would have only one singer singing all the songs. Why so many singers are there. Similarly Sniti's voice does not suit all kinds of songs and that is also true for all the contestants in this competition. So there is no point in harping on the fact that Sniti' s voice did not suit this/that etc.
Coming to Sniti's voice quality, it is very rare voice , pleasant voice ,superb voice, unique voice,trained voice, and this fact has been accepted by people starting from likes of AR Rahman to ordinary listeners like me in the forum. But there will be always many people whom her voice would not be appealing.That has to be accepted. Even OP Nayar did not like Lataji's voice and termed it as a weak voice.
Bollywood always values unique different voices. Lata, asha, kishore kumar, md rafi, mukesh, suresh wadkar, yesudas, udit narayan, etc. all have unique voices and one can differentiate them from the crowd when one listens their songs with eyes closed. That is why singers like Mahalaxmi Iyer, Shradha Pandit, etc. are not getting more songs than Shreya. Because they have similar sweet voice of Shreya and Shrey has better gayaki than both of them. Similary no MD is going to give "munni badnam hui" to Shreya to sing.
If a singer has both excellent gayaki and unique voice, then he/she will definitely have a place in music industry. I am sure Sniti has both and she will definitely have her share of songs in the music industry, whether people like it or not.
I am happy that Sniti is being critically evaluated, abused and ridiculed like no other contestant and this proves her worth and popularity.
