Here is my observation on UKU finale.
Yes his voice was strained and cracked many times. I feel he yells alot in higher notes and even he looks strained. So the singing is not effortless IMHO.
Luvd that discussion between Javed and Shekhar after Toshi came onto stage :P I think Javed saab is forgetting that album songs have been sung in competitions-- Teri deewani has been sung on both VOI and SRGMP...
^^^ Thanks for reading and responding π
JA's comments after Toshi's performance and Movie song was related to Toshi trying to bring unneccessary Sargam, Taan, Murkiyaan or Harkatey when there is no need for it. He likes to show that he is classically trained singer. We all know which family he comes from.
No need to advertise that he is trained singer over and over. Sing the song how it is sung in your way but not over doing it.
I don't think it has any relations to Teri Diwani or any other album songs. TD has been extremely popular and starting with Abhrokanti, Raja, Emon, Toshi, Twinkle, Aamir and others have sung it in other contests.
Sandhya was better than Shweta in Finale. I was expecting much better from Shweta.
As for Chhote Ustaad all were below par-maybe the hang up after two As is still there for us.Overall.however,Jayant did deserve to win.
Yep Jayant deserved to win but agree with you on all CU-LC were not upto the par. I think we are under two A's huge hangover π
Raja was his usual self and he too had no competition. Yep Toshi could have been a challenge,but he is always going overboard to impress. Wish he did not do that. he could have been a great competition. If he sang w/o going over board. π³
Howevr I do not agree with Javed A's remark that his style would not suit playback singing and the show is meant only as a talent hunt for playback singers. Any good music director can modulate Toshi's voice to suit the needs of playback,and even his style of songs are sung in movies.
Agree. I think JA's comments were misunderstood by many. I think his comments were directed indirectly towards Toshi's unneccessary adding sargam, taane, harkatey aur murkiyaan where there is no need.
Moreover,all these contestants do not get movie assignments,but do get opportunities for stage shows.
Sumitra was a let down right from the start.She is doing very badly in JJSW too always getting the lowest rankings.As for VOI,maybe her singing has gone downhill after some creditable renderings.Also wonder how she was selected as duet acommpaniment in the latest KK episode on Sony. I am lost at that too π
In comedy Shaquil-Urvashi pair had no competition as such.The others were far behind them.True,Shaquil carried the day.I heard Sunil Pal on Dhoom macha de the other day and he would have given a good competition to the winners.
Personally I find Sunil Pal so bad, and irritating. Wasn't he a co-host with Himani on Antakshari in the beginning and was replaced with the new guy? I might be wrong π³
