When Mentors say "You have an unusual voice or a different voice" What do you think they mean? Is it politely saying that the voice is not sweet enough or the voice sounds other than human?😆 They also claim they are looking for voices they can use.

Generally most of these "unusual" voices have not gone very far because they are not generally versatile enough to last the stretch. Most of such voices may not be suitable for playback singing. They can do only solo albums I think.
Personally I do enjoy some of these unusal voices, some of the rough ones maybe good for Rock numbers or Sufi notes.
Is Arshad Mohd also unusual? Judges say is different.

Asma had an unusual and unique voice and judges said nice, but in the end she is out ! My friend Rasny can explain better !😒 Jenice Sobti too has an unusual but nice voice, do not know how long they will keep her.

Reality music shows have been miked to the last drop..So,nown they are talking of unconventional voices.Trying to be unconventional in judging.Finally,they will come round to selecting "normal" voices.

the term "unusual" generally has a negative connotation, so when i hear "unusual," i don't take it as a compliment.

"different" and "unique" could perhaps be taken as compliments.

I don't know how sincere they really are about it, but the idea makes sense. With so many music shows on so many channels, people will get bored of listening to dozens of Sonu clones or Shreya clones, so they're looking for a new voice that is different from the existing singers in bollywood. It's not a bad idea, but the "unusual" voice should at least be pleasant. I've heard many unusual voices before that I would rather not hear. 😆

Yup shehzaadi ..i agree with u ..between an unusual voice with beekhre hue sur ( i can name them in this contest too but won't 😆) and a normal voice with perfect sur and melody ..I'll surely pick the latter ....😃....
No matter what the voice is ...hoarse, smooth , nasal , rough or soft ....it's all about sur and melody for me ...after all we r talking about singing competetion , right ????...not just "who has the best voice" contest ...then we should look for another Amitabh B😛

The term unusual should not have been used in the first place because it is more synonymous with unconventional or strange.

I think what they meant to express was unlike any other heard before the term original is better suited here.

Ummmm indicates that you love to enjoy life I think. Sit near the ocean and enjoy ice cream with cherrie on top a wafer too. Then we say "Ummm ! Yummy yummy!" And also drink some Vodka.
I think Suresh Vodka has a very nice voice. do not think it is unusual though.😆
