28th Sept, 2007 is a important day in the history of musical shows. C2007 standard that will take a long time for any other shows to come close or surpass. After ages, we got what we all wished for a long long time.... complete focus on quality music and nothing else.👏
The entire packaging was good. The set, the song selection, the judges, the behaviour of the mentors, the astounding performances of the participants, it was absolutely divine..!!!
The start of the show set the mood . It was so nice to hear Pt.Jasraj ji and Jagjit Singh ji sing on the SRGMP stage....👏
Now for the Rounds :
Round 1 :
Raja : He gave a real good start to the show. All those critics who talked about Raja's versatility, well here is the newsflash for you.A singer who sings Kailash Kher and Sukhwinder songs can do justice to a Ghulam Ali ghazal as well. He was awesome !
Aneek : His song selection could have been better but whatever he got he put his soul into the song. The voice immaturity was a little evident in the lower notes, but then he is only 18 years , how can anyone expect him to have the most matured voice. He got the feel and sur perfect.
Poonam: Her start was a bit weak and unsure, but from the antara she picked up and after that it was simply divine, she poured out her soul. amazing !!!
Amanat : He was the show stealer in this round. He was simply mindblowing! Hearing him who would say that one was listening to a singing contest performance, it sounded more like a concert. The little breathing noise, well it is something that can be easily corrected, and despite that the impact was simply divine...he ruled...
Round 2 :
Aneek : Wow, to sing a Manna De song and that too so effortlessly, if that is not credibility then what else is !!!!
His tarana is something I will rememebr for a long time.he was just FABULOUS !!!!!!
Raja : Raja started well, shook up a bit and then picked up. Somehow certain words in his version sounded shorter because he did the murkiyas a little differently. However, it sounded quite OK, but yes he could have done a little better.
Poonam : this song has not one but multiple raagas and the transition is so fluid that it is so difficult to distinguish them.For a singer who has no classical singing training, she was simply divine...PERFECT...and her Taans.....Oh my God.... they were simply outstanding !!!
Amanat : now he was singing one of my fav songs. He sang very well, did full justice to it.
I somehow like the original track more than this one.
Ismail Darbar Saab has groomed his participants very well. He has made Amanat and Poonam sing some of the most tough songs instead of sticking to popular songs.
She is one loved girl , that was obvious, from the reactions of the mentors, her fellow participants, host and everyone present there when she was leaving. It was quite sad to see her go. She will be remembered for a long long time and so will be this show....
Poonam's exit was really sentimental.I hope Zee SRGMP gifts her a training program with some distinguished guru.They had done so for Rajeev before. This girl has a bright future and can go really far.
Hats off Zee C2007 for taking the show to a new height. This show will tell if just "only music packages" sell or not. When there is talent , why need anything else...
