Second round of Agnipariksha –1st day
Today is the day when one of the contestants will be eliminated. The one with the lowest number of vote will be out of this competition.
The show started with the Rock gharana participants' performing- Vineet, Ujjaini and Paresh. (The contestants did not sing complete songs.)
Vineet sang yeh dil from Pardes- He sang well but somehow the feel of the song was missing- it is a very good song by Sonu and the emotional high of the song was not there completely in vineet's singing. But sur tal wise good performance.
The next performer was Ujjaini – not very sure of the song. But she did not sing very well. I think she peaked too early with the Black song- after that she has not been very impressive- concentrating too much on performance (read dancing).
Paresh was the next one – missed the song (watching nach baliye)
After this, the results of the public voting for these three were declared. Some nonsense again….green light…. red light……..yellow light……Vineet and paresh get green light but ujjaini gets yellow which means that she is in the bottom group.
The next gharana is the Dum gharana- Sharib and Swananda
Sharib sang kambakht ishq.- good singing- his voice is different and he adds harkats which are nice but somehow the feel lacking again. I think he should concentrate on singing based song as that is forte.
Swananda sang Aisa jaduu dala re -ok singing but I think her voice is still not perfect…sounded a little husky…but as usual ok singing…sur and emotion quite nice but she seemed a little shaky today….may be because she is scared of getting eliminated.
Sharib and swananda both get green and are safe…
Next is the yalgaar gharana- tension kumar Debojit, star Twinkle and sur perfect Nihira.
Debojit - ding dong dil bole- sings nicely and performs along side…..he has improved a lot and will go far.
Nihira sings hawa hawai from mr india ………nicely but the lack of performance is still there.
Twinkle makes up for that and has too much of performance, sings Dekh le from Munnabhai… her harsh…voice is now a little irritating. I think the fame is going to her head- she is concentrating on her performance and not singing.
All the three contestants get green from the public voting. Debojit gets the highest vote..around 23%
Jai ho gharana is the last one- Himani, Raktima, Rajeev and Hemchandra.
Himani- i am not sure of the song but she is ok
Rajeev's song was not impressive……he needs to work a little hard.
Raktima
Hemachandra was good as usual and has started performing as well (I must add that he was looking better with moustache).
Raktima sing rang de mujhe rang- crystal clear voice....a little shrill though.
Rajeev and raktima got yellow and hem and himani got green. Hem is the second highest with around 17% vote.
Among the bottom three- ujjaini, Rajeev and raktima- Rajeev is safe ….ujjaini is safe..so raktima is out.
(sorry as I do not remember the songs sung by the contestants….if anybody remembers or sees the repeats…pls note it down and pm to me so that I can add those)
thanks jayc1234 for the songs
