Hey fellas,
Outta all the four mentors, I think the most accomplished (as music directors) are Jatin - Lalit. I can't think of many good songs that Aadesh has composed (exceptions: Humko Ishq Ne Maara), but Aadesh is supposed to be an accomplished drummer (who used to play drums with RD Burman). Himesh R is quite popular today, but he reminds me of Nadeem Shravan sometimes. NS were extremely popular in their early days (so is HR now). But his songs lack the logivity like ID's music in HDDCS or JL's "Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikkander" or "khamoshi" had. HR is more like a passing trend like NS in the 90's and Bappi Lahiri in the 80's. ID, till date , has one memorable album, that is "Hum DIl De Chuke Sanam" ( I don't think much of devdas and Kisna). His "Tadap Tadap ke" (partly based on Shivranjini raag) is eternal. As a mentor, ID is quite impressive. Irfan winning against Vishwas, shows ID's involvement with his students (who had the sense of getting Irfan trained by Lalit for "rooth kar humse").
his gharana should win..
