The way Gurus are giving out points (sometime before the performance!!) looks like they are working as puppets of ZEE. ZEE is very much aware alongwith the sponsors of the show who are getting more votes irrespective of their capabiities/performances and finally it boils down to numbers of SMS's ... TRP ratings.... Money... more Money...
As of now the most popular contestants seem to be
1. Raja 2. Mauli 3. Amanat 4. Poonam
These contestants irrespective of their daily basis performance get 10-10-10. When other contestants with same issues (low notes/high notes/sur) find themselves beaten up by the judges, they still escape with 10-10-10.
For instance Himesh commented there were many mistakes made by Raja (Teri Diwani) but still gave him 10. Ismail commented in similar tone too but again gave him 10.
Gurus are getting biased towards their students.
After Mauli's OK performance I don't think it was necessary for Bappida to go onto stage and also pull in Faardin for nothing. Ismail too pulled in Faardin that too for Range De 😆
I feel like Guru's are grouped (HR + ID) , VS, BD.
Aneek gets 10 from ID every week, but he gets only 7/8 from VS or BD.
Joy gets (8+1) from ID now-a-days where Poonam gets 10 everytime from Himesh.
I don't think Bappida fits in a role of Guru in SRGMP when he rates Aneek and Joy with the same scale. Also his ratings are more or less induced by the points/comments of other judges. Abhijit should have done better job than him if u had seen Lil Champ.
At the end of the competition we want the best to win. Following the episodes till now I can categorize the singers in few categories.
1. Versatile singers : Amanat and Aneek - Where Amanat's classical base is better, Aneek's streangth is in his pronanciation and finish. Amanat's power is his song selection (ID is far way better than other Gurus in this aspect). Aneek's song choice is not upto the mark in last 2/3 weeks. One reason is his Guru who thinks he is always right .. and his crying burstful songs are the best in the industry.
2. Singers with specialized voice qualities - Raja and Mussarat - both of them possess excellant classical base and feel comfortable in classically based songs. Not quite comfortable in low pitches. These guys are really good singers but don't fit in playback singing. U will fnd it hard to match their voice with Heros but can do exceptionally well when it comes to title songs or situation based background songs.
Mauli - Her weakness lies in any songs other than the numbers with loud expression and this is been proved. She cannot match the other two in this category. Slightly overrated may due to her performances and NOT for singing specifically.
Poonam : I think she by far the best female contestant. She got a really powerful voice and has got lot of talent. But bit of stereotyped song selections and I know she can get beyond that.
3. Singers with good vocals : Sumedha / Junaid/ Harpreet - These singers have very good vocal but they need to work hard on the low notes and also on Sur.
4. Singers with horrible vocals - Joy - I sometime don't understand the what he is singing and sounds like a scream. I miss Sunil when I listen to this guy. Its not a game of vote rather of talent. Let it be in that way.
Finally it upto us who gets the crown. I hope its not Raja/Aneek/Amanat/Poonam/... but the best singer ....cheers
