IF SRGMP Feedback - Round 1 - Page 7

Here's my feedback finally. Guys, I have never been trained (which you can probably tell from my two songs so far), and I know very little about music, so this is just based on intuition. I don't mean to offend anyone so please take it lightly. Everyone has some very positive aspects to their audition, but there is always room for improvement. Great work overall and good luck in future rounds!

I really like your voice and the song choice. I didn't sense any technical problems at all, but the pronunciation of a few words could be improved. As Bhaskar bhai mentioned, at times when you say "main" it sounds like "mein." In addition, in the line "waqt insaan pe aisa bhi kabhi aata hai," the word "kabhi" sounds like "kabi" instead. Besides these minor details and maybe a slight lack of feeling, everything else is wonderful. Beautifully sung. I really enjoyed listening to it.

I know this is getting redundant now, but the song is one that definitely needs the accompanying music to be effective. Something feels missing in this rendition. You're a very talented singer though, and your abilities are able to shine though in parts.

This is only one stanza out of three. I wonder why you didn't sing the whole thing. I like the way you start out, but later on there are many sur problems. The antra especially seemed to be off. In future rounds, try to choose the song early on and get lots of practice.

You have a sweet voice, but it seems like you didn't practice enough. I am really bad at noting scale problems, but even I was easily able to tell that you were changing scales, especially in the line "jaage jaage se hain phir bhi khwaabon mein hai." Just keep working at it.

Your rendition was one that I really enjoyed. You have a very strong voice and a bundle of talent. At some places, you have captured the feel of the song very well. I did feel there was a slight lack of flow at parts, but all in all, this was one of the best of the contest in my opinion.

Your voice is very sweet and enjoyable to listen to. At times I felt that it sounded choppy and the flow could have been better. The two first lines of the antra would have sounded a bit better if you had stretched out the endings a little more. Overall, nice rendition.

Very well sung. As far as I can tell, it was technically very good. I just felt that the feel was missing at places, so maybe work on that a bit in the next round.

You have done a nice job with the feel of the song and your voice is very pleasant. There were a few words were the pronunciation seemed a little different and some lines were sung a little faster than other.

Sounded good technically, but the energy was a little low. And why is it that you didn't sing the entire song? I only hear one antra. Nice overall.

Love the attitude you put into the song! Technically too, I don't think there were any problems. I do feel that on the low notes, your voice seems to change a lot. It almost sounds like a different person singing. So maybe try to maintain consistency. I didn't really notice the diction problems that everyone is talking about, except for at one place. Make sure you say "phir" instead of "fir" next time. Enjoyable rendition!

Yaar, you just love singing guy's songs, don't you? I think you should explore your feminine side a bit more in the next round. You have a very strong voice, but I felt there were some sur problems in this song. Just keep practicing!

I like your voice and feel that you are very talented. However, I felt that your audition song sounded better than this. Did you have a bad throat during this round? If so, I suppose this problem should go away in the next round. Voice was a bit shaky, but sounded good technically. I believe there is a problem with the pronunciation of the word "barkha." It was overly Urdu-fied. You pronounced the "kh" sound as it is in the word "khushbu," but it should have been like "khoya." Hope you understand what I mean. Looking forward to hearing more from you!

I like your voice a lot, but I felt your performance was better in the audition round. I sense you were working hard to put feel in the song, but you went a little overboard. It should be a little more subtle in my opinion. Technically it didn't seem too bad, and the flow was good.

There were many problems in sur as well as lack of feel. I feel that your song choice should have been better. However, you do have a lot of potential. Just practice a lot more next time and try to choose a song with more feeling.

Great song choice for your voice! Overall very well sung. In this competition, I think you are one of the best in diction. Very clear pronunciation of words. Feel was pretty good, but it could have been slightly better. Keep up the great work.
