liking a particular part of a contestant's version and comparing it to the original is a whole different matter in itself.

Hey Rini was sometimes better than the original too.

How is she doing by the way.

Some members left after she was eliminated.

Its a huge insult to the bigger names of the industry.

Don't take it as a huge insult to the original singers, but as a huge compliment to the contestants.

I think doing some thing first time has to be respected. You can always copy a painting but that does not mean you are better than the original artist. Even though singers get help from composers to compose a song but it is definitely different than singing the same song again.

I agree that if anyone is doing something for the first time it has to be respected. But that doesn't mean someone cannot come after wards and better the work. And there is no harm in saying that the latter work is better. A MD cannot search through every possible singer before he identifies the one who sings his song. A different singer can give a different interpretation to that song which can have greater appeal. It is not a commentary on the original singer .The original singer did the best he could and it was his first time. But you cannot say because it is original, it is the best.

I agree. At the same time, I believe judges would say anything to boost up votes and positive attention for their gharana. The thing that annoys me the most is when judges say it for the wrong performances 😆
For instance, Suganddha was nothing close to Alisha ji's Kajra re 😕 So Vishal's comment was really unnecessary.

If i can think of any, or at least a performance where that comment would be appropriate .. it would be for Maiya Maiya (Mauli) Her performance preserves the memory of the orig AND gives the song something more with her rendition. 😃

That's why I mentioned Mauli's performance in my first post. Her's was an exception. She did sing a ton better than the original singer, but still credit cannot be taken away from the original. Suganddha on the other hand was no where close to the original. She did sing well but you can't match her up to Alisha ji's singing.

oh let me point out when actors say stuff like "you sung better than the original" i don't pay much attention to that because seriously what do actors know about singing? well some do, but most don't and they have admitted that too. but when music directors make such comments its just seriously a shame. there are other ways to boost up the contestants! you don't need to reference the original singer and take credit away from them.

PLEASE don't take my comments in a negative manner. I have nothing against Suganddha. She is a brilliant singer and a beautiful human being. I just had to state what I felt. No one has to agree with me. Keep loving & supporting her if she is your favorite. =)

Omg i know 😆 Hrithik better not say anything like that this week :P
A music director saying that for their OWN song would be believable ... and that would truly be an award at the end of the day. Cause how often do you hear MD's comparing contestants to their OWN music - only if they truly mean it right? :D

My post was totally referenced to Salman because each and every time he has mentioned to a particular contestant that they have sung better than the original and they should have sung the original. mad annoying. I hope Hrithik won't disappoint!

I know .. Salman just does it to boost up their morale. He does it every season 😆
