I do understand the meaning of "SARCASM", probably you didn't know where to use those 😉.

There is no point in fighting over this stupid reason. I still believe what I believed yesterday.

Friends

I listened to each song sung by Hemachandra, Debojit, Vineet, Himani and Nihira, that have been posted thus far on both the following sites:

http://www.voiceofambition.com/voa/content/view/24/50/

http://as01.cooltoad.com/go/music?user=dizzybanana21x& go=1

After listening to each song on a hi fidelity headphone, I gave the song a score (1 to 10) based on a multitude of factors:

Musicality

Voice Quality

Tone

Sur

Variations

Difficulty

Technicality

Style

Pronunciation

Average Scores from All Songs (Out of 10): Highest to Lowest

Debojit: 7.79

Nihira: 7.30

Hemachandra: 7.12

Vinit: 6.72

Himani: 6.71

Based on the above individual song results, I think I feel safe to vouch for Debojit from my view. I am suprised to discover this but a audio-only healdphone analysis revealed what I had not noticed on the TV show.

The scoring was done unbiased and entirely based on the "audio-only" and not on video-and-audio.

If you disagree with my scoring, I respect that. This is only my opinion although I have been completely unbiased and objective in the evaluation.

As regards, my qualifications to adjudicate, you can check them out and listen to sound bytes for whatever they are worth) at: www.AnuragHarsh.com (personal hyperlink)

Please don't shoot me personally if you disagree. Obviously you are entitled to your opinions and I respect that. Should you wish to inquire about why I gave a particular score to an individual song, feel free to message me. For lack of real-estate online, I didn't bother posting a song-level commentary, but have posted my scores instead.

with all due respect to anurag harsh and his qualifications, this is an entirely futile execise. (i also wonder how he gets so much time. i would have thought somebody of his caliber would spend time on much better things. but that's none of my business).

as harsh pointed out in his earlier mega-post in which he gave definition of raga, it ultimately boils down to what sounds good to your ears. and i really appreaciated and agreed with that definition.

a person who understands this truth but still goes on to put performaces in statistics is surely confused.

i believe harsh is a nutcase with identity crisis.

i also noticed that harsh -- quite cleverly or otherwise -- doesn't mention how long he studud under pt bhimsen joshi. i won't be surprised if it's not that long.

they say in sanskrit "vidyaa vinayena shobhate". harsh seems to be miles away from that.

Anuraag, i am curious, what made you change your mind about nihira in just one day? You have rated her higher than himani, and in another post of yours, you have also said that nihira has a sweeter voice and is better suited for playback singing, while himanis voice is best suited for punjabi folk songs?

Bigmacji,
In other thread I had taken exception to the fact that you had posted your rankings without any reasoning

This time though I feel like disagreeing (my fav someone finds herself on position 3, same as last time). But the argument you put forward and your reasoning for them are more justifiable then I have against(and mine is more biased I guess)

Excellent work
👏

just a friendly advice, go get yourself the body armour you r going to need it.

I think very unbiased analysis, and that is why ID gave hema low marks, I always told this that Hema songs do not touch your heart with the exception of last two. Nice analysis Anurag.

Dear Anurag,

It was indeed a great analysis. You will definitely have people who will disgree with the results. I am not a Debo fan......however, I am sure about one thing. The very fact that the results are springing surprises and that too not in favor of any one individual proves the authenticity of the scores. Reading the messages posted till now, people are surprised on low/high scores for almost all singers and that is what are termed as results. No offence to any one else's opinion.

Good Job Sir!!!

I am new here and do not have too many posts under my belt and i personally am a bit biased towards Nihira before Debojit but like Anuragji mentioned, even he also had a different inclination before he did this analysis and like he said when we hear a song and see it too, we also look at the facial expression and that might one of the many reasons for a slight inclination over the other. He has also made clear that he respects everyone's opinion.
I have a humble request to not malign or throw mud at anybody's qualifications or credentials. It takes a lot of pain, time, efforts and training to achieve the credentials. I have those hi fidelity microphones and even a trained ear like mine can pick deficiencies so think how much the effect would be amplified for a trained ear, esp. considering that American acoustical society deems it fit to take his name in the same breath as some of greats like Beethoveen and Bernstein when it comes to perfect pitching or is that false too ?
I think instead of questioning whether he has nothing better to do, we should thank him for his analysis and as far as i think, i do not think a person of his musical and educational qualification will resort to such puny tactics IMHO. Hope i have not offended anyone.
