Topic maker, | would like to congratulate you for you unbiased review of all the performances, thankyou.

I think Manish did better than the scores he got. I found Mansi the best followed by Sachin and Vikas

As a final take on this first week, I'd put Raagini at top (17 was so not her score, all the more surprised at Alisha deducting!) because to me she compounded Mansi's vocal excellence and Sachinji's comfortable 'rockstar' presence. Mansi next, and in terms of singing these two are really the equal and top competition. In terms of such a subtly powerful stage presence, Sachinji next. Then Sumit. And Vikas. Neha, Manish and Chavi are equals to me, although I personally think Chavi has more scope to improve than the other two because her issue, to me, was far more about her nerves than being raw. Debi bottom of the rung - I wish she can get off without going too far because then the controversies get oh-so-unnecessary and ugly.

And that winds up this weekend. Don't forget to chip in your takes everyone!

I have to disagree on some bits, Jzee😆😆

And I'm sure Ragini fans are going to hate me for this...my 'cred' as a Ragini fan is always questioned😆...but honestly objectively I feel Ragini holds herself back singing wise...she doesn't flow very smoothly with her song choice or she restricts her voice in some ways...Manasi has more range than her and has better command on that range...we've seen Manasi sing softer songs...so we know how amazingly her voice can transform...this week she showed her versatility with the way she sang Udi...she opened up, her voice was throaty and powerful...and she navigated the range of notes on a complicated song very well...I think she was hands down the best female singer of the group...Ragini's score was apt for what she sang...she needs to learn to let her singing flow better...it feels slightly stilted in bits despite the fact that she has a great voice and talent as a singer.


I feel Sachin was the other fantastic performer of the week...he was simply superb...to me at this moment him and Manasi stand above the rest of the contestants with Sumit as a close second...these are the top three that should give each other the toughest competition I feel.


Manish is freakin awesome for the entertainment value😆...I want him to stick around mainly for that...he's a one man entertainment show...absolutely love him😆

The rest isn't really worth commenting on...Debina and Chhavi are both very below par.

Top 3 are sachin, ragini and mansi. Loved ragini's first performance, wat a voice, she really is the Rockstar and wat to say abt her expressions...aah..., She is the queen of expressions for me.
@nureat01 i agree that mansi is a gud singer but our ragini is also a versatile singer and u will find this our soon.

It seems all are good singers. Sachin ji surprised me today. He was very good. Ragini was also good today. I did not know Manish could sing but he is a big surprise...and I thought he should have got better comments and also better marks. Chavi was also fine, and Debina could have sung the song in a higher pitch.

Hey there, I am Ragini Fan and i for sure don't hate U. coz of ur Honest Opinion...Waise i think You don't know this that she's very good at Voice Modulation so she Changes her voice every now and then 😆 and for this First week she chose a Difficult song for her Indeed...But Being a Rockstar doesn't mean u only have to sing,She performed so Well and also with some Mind blowing expressions...I'll say she was enjoying her Own Song 😲 😆...And i had 'Ear to Ear' Smile on my Face when she was singing😳...Now Rahi Baat Mansi ki then i'll Khullam Khulla say that She was Better than Ragini for THIS Week🤣..Fact is fact...and yea i was also smiling throughout her performance Too 😆...But i don't Like the Judges scores: Bolte kuch aur hai and Dete kuch aur hai!!! 😆

P.S: Sorry No offence ...This is just my POV 😊

@greenleaf: Manasi too chose a very complicated song...only difference is that she gave her SINGING more importance than dancing around. I feel both Ragini and Manasi enjoyed their performances a lot cuz it showed in the way they were singing...but Manasi had better control over her notes than Ragini did...

As for performance...Manasi didn't move around the stage a lot, true, but I feel singing shouldn't be compromised in favor of performing either...they both need to be balanced better.

I agree that judges scores are inconsistent...you can't rely on them much😆

@nureat- Hey whats ur name?? COz if we have to discuss rather argue then we should know each others name 😉 😆...Moi Nikita😃...Okay so coming to the point...See everybody likes different types of Music genres..and When Ragini sang this,Its so Unique and i also agree that Mansi had control over her Notes...And if u dont know then let me tell u My next aim is Mansi herself after Ragini😉😆...So yeah i love her Too..But Ragini's performance was 1000% Better than all those besuras(Debs and Chavs)...And next time she is singing on 'Lag ja gale' which is again a different song on different note...so she is believes in Experimenting...and not just sticking to One...And yeah i think in Next Performance Ragini is going to be standing still as this 'Lag ja Gale' song is quite difficult 😆...So Kush toh bohot hoge tum 😆

Good analysis everyone 😊 I think the judges' scores reflected everyone's performance pretty fairly. Let's see what the people decide. My personal favorite was Manasi 😊
