I never brought it in initially. I was just reacting.

Anyway all of us know that Pakistani contestants cannot go higher than this. And I am not a Pakistani fan at all. I just love music and hatke singers that's all.

And tell me who doesnt consider nusrat, mehndi hassan, farida khanum, begum akhtar and so on and so forth as being great singers?

Don;t we love their music just as we love Kishore Kumar, Mohammed Rafi, Talat mahmood, sonu nigam, kailsah kher and so on and so forth?

All I meant was it is a music contest. people from all over the world have been selected and music should score over everything else in an ideal world. In my opinion there are singers who are weaker than Alisher. I did not freak out when khurram was eliminated because I did not consider him better than the others.

My innocent comments were given hues and shades that they didnt have. Pl refer to commenter no 1 after my post followed by the commenter with whom I have been having a spangling match.

And then one thing leads to another.

Well here's my take on today's show.

The only noteworthy performances as expected were by Alisher (so original, and so natural - not at all ill-at-ease not at all well rehearsed, not at all copying the original - and what an original!! Nusrat no less and a tough song!), so versatile and so unaffected.

A true singer who is beyond competition, never stressed out, not bothered about winning or losing, a natural and of course by Kamal (fantastic, again totally in his song and unbothered about anything else. Less courageous than Alisher but what a voice and what range!!! wah wah).

All the rest were uninteresting and lackadaisical in approach. Sugandha not a single contribution of her own, no soul, breaks in the song, the song just didn't flow.

Ranjeet in my opinion is really the weakest link and should have been the one to go but got second highest!!!!! wow talk about sympathy guys if the votes as reported by zee are to be believed!! After Alisher bowed out barely a week after having supposedly been the highest vote getter I have my serious doubts. Not that it is a revelation. One always suspected foul play right? Ranjeet was pathetic, honestly doesnt have a voice to back up his singing skills and sounds jaded and predictable.

Abhilasha a shade better than Sugandha but again nothing much to write home about. Nothing too original. Practised approach. So soul etc missing.

Bishakh again copybook style like everytime. Nothing original, no improvisations, no soul, good copying.

So all in all a very disappointing result. A true singer has been lost. The only interesting aspirant left in my opinion now is Kamal but I far preferred Alisher for his naturalness and fearlessness. Kamal does get fearless once he is into the song but before that his tension is palpable.

As for the others I think all their weaknesses and limitations came out clearly today.

Thanks for the patience. Do give your opinion.

Ranjeet rajwada performed better than kamal khan.

Title should go to Ranjeet.
