I'm staggered that no one has made a post about this yet lest they might jeopardise his chances....But to tell the truth,his rendition was Hare Krishna Hare Ram was quite weak
First and foremost,ANEEK CANNOT RAP!!..He raps every single episode,it makes me cringe everytime he gets going....đ¤˘...His voice is ill suited for rapping,his English enunciation is poor,he's a bit slow while rattling off the lines...Even other English lines like "I keep lookin' for you babe", "You keep drivin' me so crazy" and "I keep prayin' all day..all day all night long"..It's a funky quirky song,Aneek's couldn't pull it off....!!He was in tune,but couldnt capture the feel and the mood of the song!!
Secondly,his track was slower than the original,and it didn't work in his favour..The OST is a rast paced racy number,Aneek's voice lacked the depth and the sonorousness the song demanded!!...
Besides,Even Raja's performance in the violin based round wasn't all that..It was incredulous that no one ever commented on that!!..Ismail heaped so much flak on Amanat's Saawariya but totally cut Aneek and Raja all the slack for what were two low to middling performances...đ..Admittedly,Amanat's version of Saawariya had its flaws,but I felt Ismail was being hypercritical of his own contestant....
Anyone sharing these same views??
