ID's master stroke?

I was just thinking about this the other day. Was it ID's master stroke that he saved some of Amanat's best performances for the last two weeks? If there was anybody sitting on the edge with respect to Amanat, the last few performances must have surely pushed them towards him. I was one of those fence-sitters. I always liked Amanat but was hesitant to say he was brilliant. I reserved that for Raja. Lekin, last two weeks, ek ke baad ek, kya ghazab ke performances diye hain.

(1) Hangama hai kyo barpa in the ghazal round - Nobody can match the genius Ghulam Ali but Amanat did a really good job on a very difficult ghazal. His 'darust ke aib' in the beginning, just the way he said the 'aib', it showed how good he is. It takes more than just murkis and harkats to be a great singer. The way he said that 'aib', bilkul ghaayal kar diya

(2) Albela Sajan - I used to think nobody could top Parthiv Gohil's rendition. Amanat equalled it or almost equalled it. Just too good

(3) Mitwa - Fantastic, fantastic rendition. Would make even Shafqat Amanat Ali and Shankar Mahadevan proud

(4) Tujhse naaraaz nahi - What a finale. We can argue ad infinitum that it was Gulzar's lyrics or RD's score that did the trick. Fact is Amanat was brilliant. His own twist on some of the words in that song like the heart-tugging 'maasoom' or the soulful 'hairaan' were just out-of-this-world.

OK, so coming back to my subject, I wonder if it was just serendipity or a well-devised plan on the part of ID/Amanat to save the best for the last.

BTW, I wouldn't mind either Raja or Amanat winning the whole thing.

amanat is the best i hoop he wins it

Agree with you, don't mind Raja or Amanat winning but I definitely don't want Aneek to win!!!He's run of the mill nothing exciting about him...his singing just doesn't touch me....there's just no soul!!!

Good observation. 👏 👏

Can't say much about others but even I have a feeling that Tujhse Naraaz was the master stroke. It was done with lot of thought. And truthfully speaking that did the trick too.

Yes, I think you have a valid point there. ID really has a flair for selecting good songs befitting the moments..and Tujhko Naraz nahi can really touch the correct nerve...

After all ID is the winning mentor of C2005...he sure knows what sets him apart from the rest...

Amanat indeed has created a very special place in all our hearts as the most versatile singer...

i want either Amanat or Aneek to win

Speaking of the winning mentor from c2005....I am curious to see what ID is going to wear tomorrow...😆

But what about the themes
don't they sing according to themes?

Cuz of OSO/Ghazal/Adnan Sami/ 22 Actors episode all had themes to which Amanat can sing brialliantly, and make "people on the edge towards him, completley towards him".

I thought you were an Amanat fan? 😕 Or am I mistaken?

Out of these three, I like all equally

I was a Raja fan in beg [along with Harpreet + Junaid]

but then final 3 sang so goo, I'm a fan of all 3 equally now
