A big hello to every avid fans of Saregmapa. I decided to open this topic to let everyone evaluate the singers! I have done my evaluation and it would be fun if everyone joined in! Of course our views will differ and each of us have our favourites but let's compile instead of posting individual topics or putting singers down. I would love suggestions too...!! Let's begin.
If there's a similar topic, please feel free to close this. :)
My views nonetheless... My favourites (ALL-TIME) are Amanat & Poonam!
Do include: Star of the Gharana, Potential Future and Favourite of the Competition.
Gharana: Hit Squad
Mentor: Vishal Shekhar
Star of Gharana: Raja
Junaid
Very Atif Aslam. He can do Sonu Nigam songs well too. The fact that he's cute, has gained him many international supporters. Don't find him so appealing or extrordinary as yet. Have to wait & watch.
His potential future: Definitely rockstar )
Harpreet
He's got a good voice, but not strong vocally compared to the rest. He's good looking! I think he did a pretty good job so far but he doesn't seem to be getting much support. Maybe his voice doesn't have the oOOMph factor.
Potential future: Singer, but not sure if he could do playback singing long run)
Raja
This raja from bikaner has a painful & powerful voice but the voice quality for playback singing, I'm not so sure. His rendition of Teri Deewani could not compete with that of Abrokanti. Sorry for Raja fans. He has done good songs but there's something about him that I feel needs improving. He has forgotten his lines a couple of times if I am not wrong, so somehow, maybe dedication is questionable. In a nutshell, he's a good singer who can capture different emotions of a song easily but I don't know if he can handle the surs and all.
His potential future: Don't laugh, the first thing thought, Wedding Singer. He can give Sukhwinder Singh a run for his money. )
Gharana: Josh
Mentor: Bappi Lahiri
Star of Gharana: Mauli
Mauli
( She is more suited for songs that Sunidhi Chauhan sings.
When she attempts sad songs, she can't seem to capture the pain & depth of the words.
Can we blame her for that because she's from America? I don't know if it's a good excuse.
Hence, she keeps singing songs that are pop & fast beat which make her voice sound so shrilled and she screams a lot. She also does a lot of A.R. Rahman songs because she loves his music.
Her potential future: Pop princess )
Sumedha
( Her voice clarity is brilliant. Sweet & sensual voice, very pleasing to the ears. She soothes the soul.
I doubt her ability to do a fast song, she should attempt again. Her facial expression on the camera,
she frowns sometimes, which makes me wonder if shes comfortable.
Her potential future: Playback singing suits her)
Gharana: Rock
Mentor: Himesh Reshammiya
Star of Gharana: Aneek
Joy
( Very close to those of south-indian singers(Bala Subramaniam & Hariharan.) Very sexy & heavy. His voice has a style that resembles that of Kunal Ganjawala. Doubt his strength vocally because he can be shaky sometimes. Like when he sang Oh Hum Dum Sunyore, the start was good, but deteriorated towards end. I guess he needs to be careful.
His potential future: Rockstar,..I was thinking he should join the Colonial Cousins. Haha)
Mussarat
( Sufi singer to the core. His every attempt to venture into a different genre has raised tension between VS & Himesh. We all know he's the best Sufi singer SRGMP has seen till date but he being voted back so many times can stifle the competition and drop out the actual versatile singers.
His vocal range seemed endless. When he sang Sanwre, it pierced through my heart.
His potential future: Next best thing after Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan sab... )
Aneek
( Clarity is his voice and smooth singing. He is very polished. Almost perfect. He's better than Vineet because Vineet had the tendency of letting his breathing be heard. (From what I remember).. But the label attached to Aneek is that his voice is like Sonu's...so I think he should break out of that. And many might not agree with me, but I think you can find a voice like his easily as compared to Amanat Ali & Mussarat.
His potential future: Definite playback singer)
Gharana: Yalgar
Mentor: Ismail Darbar
Star of the Gharana: Poonam
Poonam
( Most powerful singer. I think she has the best vocal range as compared to Mauli & Sumedha. Her voice is very versatile. After she sang Hungama and Tadap Tadap, then recently Rangde, I was blown away. She can also do Jaspinda Narula's type of songs because she can master the pain of words and she makes my hair stand!
Her potential future: Definite playback singer but I think if she worked on her image, perhaps popstar)
Amanat
( Best male voice of the competition. Closely resembling that of Mohd. Rafi sab. I don't know but when he sings, I can weep. He has a smooth voice and he can bring in pain and it completes package. I think he has that kind of voice that can touches you. But recently, he hasn't been performing so well, leading to a likelihood that he might be OUT.
His potential future: Definite playback singer)
