AgniPariksha final 6- 30/12/2005
The episode began with all the contestants singing some hit 2005 numbers…..solo singing but recorded… Vinit sang Aashiq banaya…debojit sang aadat from Kalyug, nihira - chalta jaye ishq musafir...paresh...no entry number, hema -ek mai aur ek tu from bluffmaster and himani..jave jave ..mere dholna.
Shaan joined and all of them sang a hit shaan number- Dus bahane karke.
All the mentors came in – triying to speak like other mentor. AS came in with Yalgaar ho ID style..spoke like him. HR copied AS and said that his singers have original voice…ID did HR's nakkal and did some topibaazi…
Theme for the day- Party numbers
Guests for the day- Emrani hashmi and Udita goswami promoting aksar.
The first gharana to perform is Jai ho gharana and the first contestant is Himani who got the highest number of votes yesterday. An av on her showed her new year resolution….behave and dress like girls…some funny thinks…she chose the song kaisi paheli zindagani from Parineeta….as usual almost flawless performance….great style…good singing…very smooth singing. She did add her touch which was very good.
The mentors decided to do away with mentometer today and commented with shayari…all good thinks only. Udita said that himani looks so well that she can act and sing for herself.
Next singer is Hemachandra, av him shows two hema- one nerd and another normal. The new year resolutions ….get up early…not fight with Mother, sister….and so on…a funny take….he chose a Hashmi number…Wo lamhe wo baate …good singing….as usual singing in his voice and style. Added some harkats of his own which were very good. He performed well as well….but I felt the voice needs a little more stability.
Emran said that he thought only Atif (the original singer could sing this well but Hema had done wonderful.) The mentors were praising everyone so nothing to write about.
Next gharana was Yalgaar and the first contestant Debojit. The av on him showed him an old age home \…spending time with some old people..singing with them. He was shown saying that how could people leave their parents like this…he would like to do something for these people in the new year. He chose the song Salame…I think from Dhoom. Good lively number and performed well by Debojit with his dance and all but his singing is not good. The voice lacks consistency.
An av on Nihira shows how everybody is fed up of her habit of chewing nails and she has decided to get rid of this habit. Nihira is the next one and she chooses this year's chartbuster..Kajrare from Bunti & babli….and she is fantastic…good expressions, very good harkats…she added her own touch and did wonderfully well. She is a singer to watch…she has arrived! Did falter on the beat in couple of places but overall very good singing.
Next gharana is Rock gharana and Paresh is the first singer form HR's gharana….an av on him shows how he wants to work for anti- smoking. His song for the evening …the hit HR number Just chill…..does good job…but his not learned music shows in his singing. He was very good the other day but today he is just ok…..somehow the energy of the song is lost….his voice quality is very good.
Emran applauds for his good hindi inspite of the fact that he is not from here.
The last contestant is Vinit and av on him shows vinit speaking to street children who are not able to study…vinit wants to do something to help these children enjoy their childhood. His song for the evening is Jeene ke hai chaar din….and after a long time I do not enjoy Vinit's performance. His voice sounds tired, the energy forced- not good singing I can say. There is again talk about who the girl is…he requests HR to not tell…he promises to tell when and if wins.
The show ends with Emran and Udita coming on stage with everyone else…and perform on the song Ek baar aja..aja..from Aksar.
