It is good to see that people are so involved that one error or miss here and there annoys people. Thanks to Zee TV for coming out with such a great program. 👏
Coming back to the program, I notice that mentors are very excited and participants are also giving their best. It appears that not all of them are having lots of potential. some of them perform on a given day but next day they get exposed. I wonder we have any "complete" singer in this competition. Also not all of them have formal training.

Last episode was worst of all. Not a single singer in the entire lot impressed me. If someone has to select from the best, I can understand the pain but it becomes even more difficult when one has to decide between participants who are substandard and no one stands out clearly and so the confusion. I can bet that none o these are going to make it in the finals, even Hemachandra or Abhijit from boys. Girls are the most disappointing in this lot (last leg of the elimination round). Paresh is getting unnecessary attention because of his firangi accent and belonging to UK. Wonder what that has to with his singing?

I find that mentors are not consistent and Himmesh is making more exceptions than rules. Ismail seems to have no genuine interest and seems like he is working for this program only to get his fees. I agree only Aadesh seems to be involved in it, atleast whatever appears from back of stage scenes. No one would ever know the complete scene just by watching the programs telecast.

Shiv and Hari were very gracious in their results and were in full command except once when they gave Joyitaa a go ahead based on comments from mentors, in spite of her worst performance. But Alka seems to have no sense of musical judgement and looks like she is very autocratic. Jagjit is worst as a judge. He is my one of the most favorite singers and I waited for 2 hours to get his autograph in Toronto after his performance. But sorry to say that I did not like his comments and he has a very poor judging power. His comments on Aishwarya was very harsh and heart breaking when he said that - "aap Aishwarya ko playback singe bolte ho, use to mike pakadna bhee nahi aata hai.." That was not at all good for a budding singer of 16 years only. I appreciate his courage that inspite of that comment he stood up and sang the last song so well. I liked Alka's comment that one day he would sing with her, at lest that gave him some hope and confidence back. Jagjit seems to be very arrogant and he forgets that now-a-days he sings even worse than Aishwarya! Last year in his program at Toronto, almost for an hour he was complaining of sound quality in a hall which is very prestigious for musical shows. I have attended many musical shows in that hall and no one complained for sound quality. the fact is that Jagjit is no more a quality singer and he should not ridicule the younger generation. My humble request to him is that , did he teach Aishwarya afterwards? Being critic is very easy!!
Anyway I hope that we get to see more fierce competition ahead and only hope that we have a better judges in future.

I am regular viewer of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa.
I think Aishwarya sang better then Paresh. i don't know why it was a difficult choice for Jagjit singh & Alka yagnik and why Jatin-Lalit-Aadesh chose Paresh?!!That was not fair. 😡 😡



Aishwarya sang very well 👏 👏

I believe the best competition we got from ZEE TV was GOLDEN VOICE SA RE GA MA PA. Second I will rate POPULAR Choice. This challenge 2005 has a good concept of keeping it interesting but overall participants do not have good voice quality and neither practice. But on the other hand it seems to me it is not fair to the participants to judge them on only one song. They should have sung 3 or 4 songs like before and then judgment should have given. Alka thinks she is something. They should not have her as a judge. She gets on my nerves every time she comes on the show. I hope they will repeat the GOLDEN VOICE so that I can record it on DVD.

Hi guys,

am coming back to this discussion after some time. I agree aishwarya sang much better than Paresh but dont u guys think that sometimes the mentors criticize just for the heck of it and use if as a platform to exhibit their knowledge of the intrinsic music language and Ismail is the worst of the lot, arrogant and rude and totally unpolished. Initially he was so rude to some of the participants it almost made u cry but from there hes mellowed down to taking up pangas with his colleagues.Somehow i just dont like this guy and feel hes totally unsophisticated and really he reminds me of a mumbai ka bhai.I have always loved jagjit singhs ghazals but here he seems really arrogant and ready to take on a fight with alka altho shes no less herself and thinks too much of herself.

yeah! everyone seems so arrogant. are people like that for real or is zee making this out of them?

aishwarya was far better than paresh. i think paresh was chosen because of the x-factor or may be to reduce the competitive level.

New member of this forum and from what I see, a great job by pmahesh and some others in keeping everyone posted...
I know I'll probably get some negative feedback about this post (i.e. if I'm successful in posting it) but I dont really mind ID that much now. I think he has been less rude and arrogant than before. In fact, its JL who have been irking me now. J gets too excited, stands up and starts shouting and both of them kind of nitpick on the words and the original way that a particular song has been sung.
HR and ID have been saying for a while that ppl who have sung well in the past but not on that particular day should be given some consideration but faced opposition from JL and AS. If you noticed, it was again the former who supported Abhijeet in the interest of keeing the show competitive but this time JL/AS never did say anything to contradict them - I found that a little hypocritical. Abhijeet is a great singer with a very good sur and a great easy style of singing but based on that day's performance, he deserved to be kicked out.
Nihira is my fav amongst the girls. I wish Hrishikesh/Gaurav/Girish/Chirag/Gopal could have made it to this show but oh well (I still think that other show (was it the popular choice? was much better as to the quality of singers - I just didn't like that final result where that female doctor won).

i agree to what lot have said that aishwarya was better than paresh...and paresh just won becuase of his style...

By the way alka yagnik did not offer to sing with aishwarya but said that he is talented and may be one day he will be singing besides her.

The standard of singers is not as good as the earlier contest...wherein we had rahul saxena, sudeshna, bela, ronkini, mohammad vakil, parthiv......the list is really very long. But the standard is much better than the famed "fame gurukul".

I still do not have any favs.....

I do no like Isamil darbaar..he is very arrogant...he was complaining initially about abhijeet being chosen but whe n the other mentors chose parthiv over aiswarya...he was all ok...he seems like very arrogant and does not care about the feelings of the young participants.

I did not dislike jagjit and alka much..i thought they were ok....did seem like there were some disagreements but i think they managed quite ok.

The second round of eliminations have began. The participants from the first group performed todaY. If all of you remember, these were the participants

Himesh reshamaiya- Nanu and Supriya
Aadesh Srivastava- Vishwas and Raktima
Ismail Durbar-   ; Debojit and Nihira
Jatin Lalit- Saptak and manjira

Vishwas and Nihira had got the green cards in the first part - saptak and supriya got the red card and got eliminated. So this time Nanu, Vishwas, Raktima, Deboji, Nihira and manjira competed.

Raktima- Sawan ke jhoole pade....i did not like her singing, it is very soft and soothing number which did not seem like that.

Vishwas- Aaja meri jaan....a very difficult song..rare song...with lot of offbeat stuff...sang well but i don't think it was very good.

Nihira- Tere bina jiya jaye na....a very good song chosen (one of my fav lata songs) but i think nihira sings very mechanically. She is very good in her sur taal ...but somewhere the soul is missing. But the most trained singer.

Debojit- Mere naina sawan bhado....did not like his singing....kishore's singing has so much feeling....completely missing in his rendetion.

Manjira- Sharm aati hai magar....unusual song chosen and performed well but seemed a little nervous and conscious.

Nanu- Aur kya ahde wafa hotein hain....he sang well with lot of feelings.

The judges felt for most of the participants there was huge improvement. Nihira, though everybody's fav...the mentors felt her performance was not as good. Also Debojit's song did not impress anybody.

Nihira and vishwaas got the green cards.

The rest four will perform again tonite.

The judges were Shiv kumar and hari prasad chaurasia.(shiv-hari)

Thanks for the update Pmahesh!

In this week's US episode, I just hated Himesh. He's such an hypocrite. few episodes back when some one from his team sang the same genre songs he said I don't want him to move from this genre as he's very good in that. And in monday's episode, he said Keka always sings in a particular genre and she should change. I really hate that guy. But Adesh took it so seriously that next day he made Keka sing a very diff song and she was given green card. That was amazing. I hope Himesh concentrates more on his candidates!
