mauli has the x-factor that most of the other contestants don't have...she is an excellent performer. i think joy should go next
The programme is titled on saptak 'SA RE GA MA PA' which suggests the only and the most required element of the show is the sur/ tal/ laya and the participant's ability to adapt their individuality and give creative inputs to in a compositon without changing it. In this show participants must sing (in tune) to be in the contest. This show does count for x-factor but in singing not in participant's appearance or personality. because in play back singing once you go behind the mike it's your voice and singing people gonna hear not your Modelish figure. But they are shows like x-factor and Indian idol that focus on beauty, personality, smiles, dancing steps and blah blah blah. And I believe Mauli is better suited there as she does seem to have everything apart from the understanding of sur/tal/laya.
