Thanks to Anu and Noni for posting the video link.
IMHO
Group Performance:
Aditya Narayan, Rimi and Amanat sing tauba tauba ishq main kariyaan
from the movie Kaal.. Agree, not a good performance, Rimi was
particularly awful.
Meghna sings zindagi mein koi kabhi aaye na Rabba.
I thought she was besura in more than a few places. Is that due to her
throat infection? Also her voice does shake and it is annoying.
Apurva sings Tu hi meri shab hain from Gangster..
The first note was off but no doubt he has a nice voice. I just wish he
would concentrate on pitching rather than dancing because I think that
Ashaji is correct that he actually has the kind of voice that would make
him a good playback singer. Also a good song choice for him.
Yogendra from London sings Phirta rahu darbhadar
Why didn't Himesh find someone who was really from London? That
really bugs me. I think that girl with the odd red hair would have been a
more interesting choice. Great song but but he was really besura, I could
barely stand to listen! He got a little better towards the end. I felt sorry
for the judges. But he does seem like a nice person. Totally would have
him to dinner but would avoid having him doing the after singing
entertainment
Shreshta sings Tere liye hum hain jiye
Some besura notes but a nice voice. The antara was better. I thought she
put some nice touches in and put feeling into it. Also a nice song choice
for her voice. Needed more throw. But much better than yesterday.
Sunil Kumar sings dil de diya hain jaan tumhe denge..
Nice song but he missed many of the kaj and was a little flat on some
notes though I hate to disagree with Ashaji. But still sang it well.
Koyal sings - Rock me baby from Aitraaz..
Why was she screaming at the beginning? NOT a good song choice in
front of these judges. Antara was besura. Both Ujjaini and Himani did a
better job with this song. She could have made it softer. I could have also
done without ID's comments on the clothes. I do agree with Asha on the
comments on the song and I wish SRGM would retire the song from this
show. It's a beautiful song but every time it is sung, ID has this creepy
smile and half the audience is embarrassed. If Asha queen of the cabaret
songs is embarrassed, I think that says it all. But regardless, she did not
do the antara well so her marks were low. As for the song choice, I wish
someone would clarify who chooses the songs. In fact, the more I think
about it, they probably made her sing this song to annoy the judges and
cause controversy! Really yesterday they started with a rag mala and then
talk of Pa is for parampara and then they go to "Rock me baby, push me"
baby which is inappropriate for a family show.
Right choices to leave.
This overemotional sequences are a little corny. Someone please get
Himesh a mood stabilizer. Poor Ashaji! She probably feels compelled to
forgie him because he clearly some issues when on the SRGM stage.
Why was no one crying for Koyal, not that I was either. Every elimination,
one person is apotlighted and the other person is pushed to the side.
