The 12th Nov episode was one where either contestants' weaknesses were on show or they were made to look good because they were dueting with trained singers. For me, the performance of the episode was Salman and Kapil. It was such a treat hearing Salman's voice after such a long time! 😃 So much soul! Miss Lil Champs big time! But boy did he show off his singing! Fantastic, grin inducing performance! I can go and on about the lad, but honestly, the expressions, harkatein, murkiyan were flawless! And Kapil surprised me too because he was signing in sur as well for the majority! Wonderful performance on Aaj Hona Deedar! I think Salman mostly got that standing ovation! 👏
And Manasi and Raja were such a combo! Great singing by them! It showed that Manasi was trying to keep up with Raja towards the end, BUT SHE DID! And that was commendable! Really liked how she went that level up!
Abhilasha and Sachin were so cute! Loved the musical chemistry and acting on stage. Very good performance! I forgot how sureeli Abhilasha's voice was! Loved some moments!
I was disapppointed by Chavi and Kamal Khan though. Chavi has a wonderful tonal quality, like Alisha said, she has a playback singer's voice and I loved her rendition of 'O Saathi Re' last week. However, she needed to project her voice a bit more in 'Billo Rani' and needs to control the slight quivering that one can hear. Kamal really didn't have much to sing so the song was on Chavi's shoulders.
It was really nice to hear Nitin the velvet voice of Himachal again! Initially, Ragini was a little off but she managed to get a hold of the song. Lovely expressions during the chorus. I think she pulled it off.
Sumeet and Barnali - I think this song was on Barnali's small shoulders! She sang beautifully and Sumeet was pretty much relying on her!
Overall, I was chuffed to see the Lil Champs back on screen with the contestants this time!
