I watched the second group performing on Monday and Tuesday, as we get repeat telecast here in Toronto on these days. For a change I did not come to this forum for almost a week as I did not want to know the results beforehand. And that had its own impact while watching the episodes.
First day Himani and Ujjaini were outstanding and all the three boys were just normal. Vineet was not that great as people have hyped him. But he was better than the two. But if Sharib and Irfan performed the way they did next day Vineet had no chance to get Green, but it is fate! Himani was simply outstanding and I am already waiting for her original songs in movies/albums. But Ujjaini was also very good and she could be a good playback singer too. But Joyitaa was a disappointment. She has too much of "latka jhatka" but her singing is a far cry from the rest of the contestants.
I watched the next round and what a performance by everyone. Though Irfan was good in his singing but I agree by Priti(pmahesh) that "something" is lacking in him which makes his songs not very attractive. I guess he has very flat and different kind of "gala" and he can't change that. But he gives his 100%. But Sharib was outstanding. Only if he sings like that, he will be a great singer. But he need not worry as he belongs to Saabri brothers' family so he is already in music and I don't think that he would prefer playback singing for he has one genre of singing already established for himself through his family name.
What a performance again by Ujjainee! She is becoming one of my favorites now. She sang extremely well. Joyitaa was much better but to me it looks like that somehow it has sunk in her mind that she is already a very great singer or she thinks that she has learnt quite a bit, because she is not improving at all like others. Her pronunciation and landings are very poor. Like she stretches the last word of the song lines too far. I hav noticed the same poblem with Vineet too.
It was clear that Ujaainee and Sharib were going to be in but then AS and ID started fighting. And they could not complete the dual round and so they had to take a decision like that.
Although we were shown only a "sober" part of the fight, one should not derive their conclusions from that. As a matter of fact whatever we get to see, we should not start making an impression of a person based on that alone. There are many behind the scene conversation, which we are not even aware of and sometimes those flare them up. But going by just that statement which ID said, I agree he did not say anything which could offend anyone. There must have been much more than what we got to see.
Anyway, I am not sure what we will see in the next episode.
But Joyitaa and Irfan definitely did not deserve to move on.
