Dark Side Of THe Moon 👏 👏

From that album, "Money" has sounds of clinking coins and cash registers turned into rhythmic accompaniments (remember that in 1973 there were no digital recording techniques) ... and also rock's most influential lead-guitar riffs ever ..... simply awesome .... "Us and Them" hypnotic yet thought-provoking, "Brain Damage" where the madman rises inside all of us, and "Eclipse" the perfect thematic coda ....

Now don't get me started on that album ... they simply rock ... whether it's "the wall" or "dark side of the moon" or "division bells" or "animals" or "delicate sound of thunder" or ..... jeez !! the list will go on and on ...

Anyway, nice to see you and Sinha ji both enjoying Pink Floyd as well ...

You know what Himesh Reshmiya is ********* and blindly supporting vineet, also talking about Love, Topi etc which are irrelevant and has nothing to do with Music.

guys Please be productive and vote in the following order

1st Hemachandra
2nd Nihera
3rd Debo
4th Himani

I hate gays so I am not including vinet name here.

Thanks

Ill try to assess among remaining contestents who sang best out of genre, and Im also with a mentometer this time.

Hema: This is surprising to note that he is one contestent who has attempted songs sung by diff singers eg. UditJi: Ae Ajnabi, Kishoreda: Bachna E hasino, Sonu Nigam(Saathiya) and has done full justice with most of them.
To me his rich voice sounds quite diff, not exactly fitting in one genre, though many people have tried to fit him into SP Balasubra slot.I'll take Ae Ajnabi as an example out of genre: a song which gave goosebumps to Aadeshji, his ability to hit low notes was well displayed, full of expression & sur: a perfect 10/10.

Debu: To me he fits somewhere between Abhijeet & Kumar Shanu,
I'll take Hamma Hamma as out of genre: on this he got a lot of chumma from ID, shook a lot while singing but never lost sur, perfect modulation at places, deserves 10/10.

Viniit: One of his songs: Lakshya can be taken, it has been sung by Shankar Mahadevan, IMHO he carried high notes quite well, was in full flow & did justice to it, I'll give 10/10...

Sharib: sorry to bring him here, but no description of male singers is complete without him, many people said he was more towards sufi/qawali genre (including Himeshji in initial rounds who said after toota toota ek parinda ....kai gano me Sharib buri tarah se expose ho jata hai....) but time proved how versatile he was, he attempted songs from different singers,right from Nachle(by Daler Mehandi) to Yumma Yumma and showed that he could sing any song to his advantage.
I'll take Yumma Yumma: it has been sung by 2 singers, RD Burman & Mohd Rafi, he carried this song beautifully while many others fizzled out on RDX...never lost sur, deserves 11/10..... oops....soory.....
IMHO, if this contest was judged by people with Shiv Hari calibre I think then Hema & Sharib would have fought each other in finals, and it would have been a nail biting finish.

Nihira: this perfect play back material has done two songs which IMHO can be taken. 1.I Love you(HRHK)& 2. Rangeela re
I'll take HRHK: originally sung by two singers(Ashaji & Usha Iyer..those days Ushaji was unmarried hence not Uthup) at two octaves, one of the most discussed songs in this forum..she used her ability to hit high & low range to full advantage & left people spellbound...as always fully in sur & flow...deserves more than 10/10..

Himani: This girl with X factor actually has attempted 2 songs which I will consider 1. Jaane Ja(Ashaji, RD Burman) & 2. Aaj ki raat(Ashaji), latter was quite impressive, she sang full throated.. actually this song has spoken words that too by Ashaji, which is very difficult to imitate..but she made a very good attempt...deserves 10/10.

Please note that this is my humble opinion only...
please feel free to add songs which you think were out of genre even of those contestents who got eliminated, it will be great threads..

Rishabh Komal? Definitely an evening Raga. I've never heard the song myself. I searched..couldn't find it. Are you sure it is - Jahan pe Sawera ho? is it known by any other line?

99% of the hindustani ragas have carnatic equivalents. THey just need to be constructed. Both the styles have 7 swaras, 3 and a half functional octaves. By permutation, we have about 6000 ragas. They will be similar.

You can listen to the song on musicindiaonline under the listings of the movie "baseraa" ....

couldn't identify the raga myself though

Will now take out my oldies collection and listen to songs by Saigal saaheb, CH Atma, Pankaj Mullick, Kanandevi, Mallika Pukhraj and, of course that very special kid with a tragic story, Master Madan over some chai-pakodi...

Rabindra sangeet(..esho shyamli.), very good composition, though this
doesnt fall completely in Rabindra sangeet .Very good find by you.[/

Actually it is another song from 1942 Love Story that sounds like Esho
Shyamala Sundara.

I liked your analysis.

Sharib's is really best in genre. His classical base really makes him
perfect for those Sufi style #'s but I also agree that his other songs like
Tere Mere Sapne.

I think that Himani's voice is strong but not suited for certain songs.

I think Hema and Debo are very versatile and are not limited to any genre
-- like Udit Narayan.

Vineet is a good technical singer but not quite there yet.

More later..

excellent information.

I'm enjoying these posts very much.



Yes thanks to all of you for your thoughtful and detailed analysis. I am so
boged down with the kids and my husband is traveling so I have not been
able to respond in kind to this and the other wishing for a mentor topic. But
I will attend to these excellent topics soon.
