ID had no right to leave in huff

Before I write any further let me state that I like Ismail Darbar and Debojit both. I hope Hemachandra/Debojit wins the contest. I do not like Vinit/HR.

We watched the Kawwali special in US last night. Ismail Darbar had no right to leave the show in huff after Debojit got low rating from the mentors. He DID NOT do justice to the song he selected (or ID selected for him). He went besura multiple times, left taans incomplete and the worst part was last "yeh ishq ishq hai". It didn't even sound similar to the original one.

Ismail Darbar has penchant for selecting difficult songs for his students. It was Nihira who could do justice to such songs. Debojit is clearly not in the same league. Either ID should have selected a more suitable song or should have accepted the rating co-mentors gave. It made no sense at all for him to be frustrated when in past he has been very strict with his students when they made any mistakes.

More than that in past few episodes he has been in contest with HR to praise and suck up to Vinit. Same story with Himani. Don't know if all this is scripted or not. But praising the contestants when they deserved is one thing and going out of your way to compete with their mentors to praise them is another. On one hand he said to Himani "uparwala kare tu hi final jite" and on other hand getting upset when Nihira gets eliminated makes no sense at all. Being emotional is one thing but being a fool is other.

I was surprised to see Jatin Pandit giving 10/10 to Himani's "der na ho jaye". This is the same Jatin who commented (and rightly so) on Joyita's "mohe panghat pe" as it sounded like a koThewali's song. Himani's "der na ho jaye" was no different. It lacked all the niceties of the original song. I wouldn't be surprised if Himani really gets eliminated next week.

Overall I found Hemachandra's performance the best yesterday although I personally don't quite like that song. I don't even want to comment on Vinit's song who tried to copy Mohd Rafi and failed miserably.

Am SO GLAD to see someone commenting on the PERFORMANCES and songs rather than over-hyped and over-talked about mentor politics!

Havent watched the show either and am waiting for Saturday.....although, i do think I'll probably agree with what you have to say.

I agree with yo urare, the songs ID choses for his students are very tough and mostly unpopular.. so the performance does get boring..

I feel they gave 10/10 only for the sake of ID.

Completely differ with your opinion.

Na To Karvaan and Yeh Ishq Ishq Hai aren't just ordinary songs ....they're two of the toughest qawwalis. There's no two opinions on that. It's like fusing Manna Dey (the lord of qawaliis) and Asha together. Debojit's alaaps were very powerful and majestic .. and his taans and sargams were mindblowing. It clearly showed that Debojit has a training in classical music. Taans can be taken only by a trained singer who is familiar with the raag and requires a highly flexible throat which comes with lots and lots of rigourous riyaz .....

Infact Himani was brilliant as well. This was her second best rendition next to Chittiye ... (I'm not a Himani fan)

Yes.. YOU ARE RIGHT..

It is a very difficult song at first place, i saw AS was listening very carefully when Debu was singing.. if he gave him 7 that means Debu must hv made some mistakes.. Forget about HR, J-L, N ID,AS is always been fair to all the participants so far - That's what i feel

and others - Vinit was ok, Hemu n Himani were medicore.. did not expected these kind of low performances at this stage of contest..

It is SIDDU who saved the show.. he was fantastic...

i maintain that debojit -- despite one of my favorite contestants - did not do justice to "na to karavan ki talash hai". It is indeed a difficult song. but that doesn't mean you can make numerous mistakes while attempting to sing it. Don't sing it if you can't. Select something that suits you.

also as aadesh shreevastav once said (i guess to joyita when she attempted "mohe panghat pe") you don't have to attempt a difficult that you cannot sing well to prove you are a good singer.

Ive not heard it till now because of heavy duty but I promise to come back, the version you are giving is completely opposite to what Abhilash said.
Other thn that....what about smooth songs which are being given to Hema by AS like tumse milke dil ka ..........wo koi gana hai is stage pe gane layak........??
And you furthur mean that AS is justifying in giving low marks..........?? very strange.
Let me first listen this to song.....then......
