where do i start??i was really touched by this episode...areebs elimination was not unfair..but considering u still ahve vyom and prakriti, its definitely unfair...

ok ..a folk songs special...
ila arun was the guest..she was flamboyant as usual..tho not a patch on usha uthup..!!abhaas was cute in different costumes...his compering was so so today..
..but the effortless ease with which he sings makes him a great host...hes a natural..!!!

anwesha started with morni bhaga ma..she was fantabulous!!a truly gifted child and the sincerity in her singing shows!!!she was really upset coming in scary land...consistent superb performances and coming in scary land is really demoralising, esp for her..!!

vyom with ghanan ghanan..was way below average, he ate up a few words, was out of sur..a good attempt..failed miserably..!!

soniya was superb with damadam mast kalander...i loved it..shes a real bundle of talent!!!

aish with nimbooda nimbooda was great...but, somewhere along the way...i ahve lost interest in her...actually dont look forward to her performances...much!!!

prakriti..with dayya re dayya..was awful..to sum it up in one word...i was horrified wen she started..and winced practically thruout the song.. every time she said hai re..i wanted to scream.!!whew..one performance which can b forgotten!!!

areeb started with a song, am not sure abt it, i seem to have heard it somewhere ..cant place it tho...he forgot his lyrics and was ripped by the judges..deservedly!!

scary land..anwesha , soniya and areeb...

acid test..anwesha with mausam ka adla badli mein was rocking...pritam and shreya gave her 100 each...

soniya with baghban title song was very very good, i thot..

areeb with sajan tere bin was fantastic..it was pretty close betn him and soniya..eliminated...!!!
the thing abt areeb is hes always got a smiling face..actually took the elimination quite well..but, everyone were shedding tears..i ahvent seen shreya cry like this..
this guys got talent..and will bounce back once he gets serious abt his singing... shed tears too, not bcoz he was eliminated...but, he had to go out and vyom and prakriti still there...it was heart breaking....

next week challenger round, i think a few ahve been shortlisted...one will b selected by the judges..prob sing with the other 5 on saturday...

Kalyani said...

goofy, tum maano ya maano..areeb is hell of a talented guy, just c him after 4 yrs...if hes serious abt his singing...he will rock...hes another natural like abhaas..!!
i am actually tempted to place soniya above aishwarya...somewhere aish lost me along her musical journey!!

for me the top 5 wud b.... anwesha,soniya, areeb aishwarya and gitasree...
my order has changed...

Kalyani said...

i didnt say she sang badly, but, prob i am biased...i am being judgemental and i dont like her anymore...i always had a "cat on the fence" feeling abt her right from the beginning of the show...but, she lost me...
for me anweshas the best...the rest follow..and if shes elimiated...i wud rather soniya won than aish[kaafi gaaliyan padenge, i know]...

Kalyani said...

have fun, enjoy them..and pay attention to areeb..he deserves an alvida...and look out for aish...
i mentioned to hard abt her falsetto..the falsetto is now a part of her voice...the link i posted on the blog was informative...!!!

Hard said...

Kalyani and rest,
I am a big fan of Hrishikesh Mukerjee and will take a leaf out of his book to come up with my top 5 on Chhote Ustaad.
Here's my list:
1. Anwesha
2. Anwesha
3. Anwesha
4. Anwesha
5. Anwesha
:)
I cannot comment on Soniya vs Aish cause I know Kalyani is biased against Aish and I am not a big fan of the '9 yr' old from Haryana!
More comments after I watch the episode today!!
Hypothetically, imagine if it would have been Anwesha, Soniya and Aish in the bottom three. Who do you think judges would have eliminated?

Hard said...

I haven't seen the episode yet but attempting 'Daiyya re Daiyya' from Madhumati itself requires some 'kaleja'.
I am sooooo looking forward to tonight for the episode.
Imagine is Anwesha would have picked that song, she would have made all of us cry with joy!

Kalyani said...

soniya.koi doubt hai...??anweshas impossible to eliminate by the judges...aish has her loyal fans in the judges....soniya ko tho nikal na hi hai na??
i was not biased against aish...but, now i am , today..the long drawn," i wasnt sure abt her" love affair ended today...but, i will always appreciate her performances..shes good, mera dil choona band kar diya...galthi meri hai shayad..!!!

Hard said...

Sorry Goofy,
That's a bunch of baloney!
:)
Anwesha will NEVER get picked by judges, even if she's not the best singer in the acid test (that's a huge IF BTW)
:)

Kalyani said...

goofy relax..do u honestly think the show works according to votes or otherwise...the decision is taken by the producer,the backers of the show,based on TRPs to some extent...judges are mere puppets...they only ahve the right to appreciate performances to a great extent...the selection, elimination etc is not in the hands of the judges...
we can no longer call these..talent shows,they r money making businesses in the guise of reality show...!!!
lets appreciate talent and get phukat entertainment..and let the producer make money.....evens out!!!

Hard said...

I don't agree,
When it come to judges choice, I still have some confidence in GajJi!
So far, it has been fair (some people might rant about gitasri, but I think she was not as good as these girls are)

hard, u mean prakriti is better than gitasri??comeon..

Hard said...

No, not even close!
I am just talking about the judges choice, voting is totally screwed up anyways.
Goofy,
Welcome to blogging. That's what it is, we come up with topics that have nothing to do with saving this world and just rant about it.
Its what keeps the juices flowing, the brain working and the idea running!
Cheers! :)

Hard said...

Guys,
I might sound like a broken record, but I just heard Anwesha singing 'Dere dere' and 'Ami je tomar' on YouTube as well as heard all the comments from judges, again!
I was crying with joy!
She makes me so proud. Way to go kiddo!

Hard said...

Just finished watching Anwesha's and Soniya's performance and really have to say this...
I'm not sure why Soniya's performance extracted such an emotion from Kalyani but I felt that she was 'Kansura' in the entire song!!!!
She did not hit the right scale (maybe someone has asked her to sing at a lower pitch or something like that) had a lower pitch than the original song and therefore could NEVER catch up to the correct 'sur'.
She should have hit this one wayyyy out of the park but she did not. I have always found her hurrying the songs up and I think today's performance was an attempt to rectify that problem but ended up being a disaster.
She has a lot of potential and very clear voice but she needs to really work hard on her sur.
I know not a lot of people agree to my assessment of Soniya's singing and that's why I am attaching a link of the original song by Runa Laila

Neelakshi said...

Gouz,after watching yest's show i have realized 2 things--
1.this show does not deserve Anvesha--whether she gets votes or not is irrelevant.
2.I am FED UP of aishwarya and her over-hype.if dey want her to b the VOI just declare it straight away.why play with a talent as enermous as Anvesha's n budding talents like gitasri,soniya,areeb n jayant? I am done with her n her supproters.she picks d SAME songs every time--no variety,always d easy ones which suit her voice. still gets d highest votes.no wonder gajji loves her.

3.By the way,Soniya in scary land and vyom in fairy land--not at all a positive sign.cud b we have soniya n anvesha in bottom 2 next time n 1 has 2 b eliminated.anyway dey r the 2 deserving finalsits out of the current 5.

By the way,this is my ranking and u r free 2 agree/disagree --
1.ANVESHA(BY FAR)
2.GITASRI
3.SONIYA
4.JAYANT
5.AREEB
6.ASH(yes,she shud hav been out in 6'th position dose who were eliminated b4 her like jayant n areeb had flashes of pure brillance which she never had)
7.VYOM
8.PRAKRITI
9.SHAILEY
10.ABEER
11.MANASI
22.ALPESH

Whatecer u feel abt my ranking,dis is it.Gitasri cud have been in 2'nd position bcoz her voice quality is better den dat ash's tencency 2go nasal.Also ash lacks dat punch in her voice which Soniya has. neway,shud b grateful anvesha n soniya r still in.
earlier i wanted 4 girls 2 b in top 4 just bcoz the reverse happened in most shows,neway i have given my rsns why in a completely unbiased manner,dese r my top 5.

Neelakshi said...

By the way,my top 8 was the top 8 except 4 gitasri being eliminated at 8'th position.poor baby.she was def. better den most of d others,had this wonderfully sweet voice which did not get irritating like ash's.Ash at this age is a bit 2 clever 4 her own good and right now i am rooting 4 a prakriti-anvesha finale over ash-anvesha(soniya-anvesha being my choice but it will never happen,i know)
Gajji playted his trick well i must say.declared soniya had highest votes n next week she is scary land for first time.
poor anvesha.Guyz,do you actually vote 4 her?she needs our support,regardless of Pritam.cud not bear 2 see her cry.i shed quite a few tears myself.She does not deserve this. Only Vyom had the integrity 2 say i did not dezerve 2 b safe.Wish aishwarya n prakriti learnt the same humility

amit said...

goofy has explained everything quite nicely

this girl is giving me shock every week. I think more than 90% of her songs are duets. This time its lata n ila arun combination. I really enjoyed the facial expression of Ila during anwesha performance.

after todays performance, I feel vyom should have eliminated before jayant itself. What would have happened to the song if he had to sing this songs solo (without aishwarya). Liked his honesty. For me, next it should be his time to be eliminated. (I prefer prakriti ahead of vyom)

Soniya sang the song quite well. could have been better. its song from her genre. feel bad for her parents- their 1st presence, n soniya is in the scaryland for the 1st time.

aishwarya's singing was not upto my expectation. i see her in top 2. so more expectation. agree with goofy, abt anamika (saregamapa) singing this song. i think anamika sang this song better. lots of the people says there should be no comparison. but i feel comparison is must, whether within the show or among the show or with prev contestant or with legends.

anamika is going to sing Ami Je Tomar in saregamapa tommorrow. sonu has also made some remarks. m waiting to watch that show n compare.

Note-when aish was showing her gratitude towards the judges, kunal was pointing finger towards ila, so that aish can thank her too. kunal, u r on tv man, control yaar.

Prakriti-no comment.

areeb- feel bad for this guy. under tremendous expectation pressure. praticing a lot, which is affecting his throat. under pressure he forgots the lyrics this time too.

really doubt, abt aish gaining the top spot. gajji wants more votes for prakriti.

scaryland

anwesha- this was what i was fearing. i also love to see her performing twice on saturday. but how long a kid can survive this elimination pressure everyweek.

areeb- sang really well. i wish he should have done this earlier. i will miss him. unique voice. need some more training.

soniya- sang good. not upto the mark. areeb was better than her. judges must have considered prev performance while deciding.

watch the expression on someone's face, when shreya says she has given anwesha 100.

Q: which participant was dissappointed the most after areeb's elimination? (may be due to the fact that another weak link has been eliminated from the competition)

amit said...

@goofy

any idea, how we can vote more. If we change our e-mail id and vote, will svoi will accept it (though it has come from one pc). I am planning to go to office tommorrow to vote from 3 diff pc.

i cant withstand anwesha's tears. Why India is not voting for such a talented singer.

Anonymous said...

Anwesha and Sonya are in scaryland and Vyom and Prakriti are in Fairyland!!!
Its a national tragedy. When will our people will start thinking about the real talent and not about the geography?
India - please try to understand that correct thing and do the correct thing.

amit said...

@ neelakshi

I do agree with you that aish is quite clever. may be due to all the exposure she has got since her childhood.

I also agree that gitasri should have been in the top 5.

But i beg to differ from you in ranking aish in 6th position.

For me the present ranking is

anwesha (with huge margin)
aishwarya
soniya
vyom/prakriti ( i preferred prakriti tha vyom earlier, but vyom has improved in past few weeks)

gitasri- I would have ranked her 3rd in the competition. Initially I liked her better than aish. but after gita's elimination, aish did not sang that bad.

Smart Guy said...

It was so sad to see Anwesha in scary land again..come on guys lets vote for her to bring her into fairy land again..

Hard said...

Wow, how things change in the blogging land!
My thoughts about the singers used to match Kalyani and Amit while Goofy and I used to NOT see eye-to-eye about things, minus Anwesha who everyone in the universe agrees is the best.
...and today, its Goofy who's fighting the fight I have been ranging for the longest time.
Guys, stop trashing Aish. Its a request. If it was not for Anwesha on this show, she would have been running away with the show, by far. I just don't get it.
There's no falsetto, there's no pretense, there's no flaw in that girl's singing and you guys are just on her case. Why?
Just cause you guys 'assume' that Gajendra Singh likes her? Where? How?
Its just a 'hunch', isn't it?
Aish definitley has problems in her singing... its all canned. sounds the same. The same thing that Gitasri had, all songs sounded exactly the same.
Aish is NOT that bad. She just does not bring in the same emotion as Anwesha. Today's song was the same. She sang effortlessly, perfect, but I felt that she was somewhere else. Distracted and very mechanical.
She does pick songs that suit her genre, why shouldn't she?
By the same yardstick, shouldn't Soniya attempt a classic Lata song and come out of her comfort zone to sing something that can show her all round talent.
I guess another topic, another day.
..and coming to Vyom, if you start from where he was and be where he is today, you are a true student of music. Someone who has fire in his belly, the zeal to learn and on top of that, the attitude of a gentleman.
Do you think anyone amongst the rest would have made a vote appeal like his?
...and Anamika in SaReGaMaPa.....as Kalyani says, 'gosh', have you guys not heard enough good voices in Star VOI to bring her up?
She cannot even compete with Areeb, on his day, forget the likes of Aish, Soniya and Jayant.
I haven't heard her rendition of Ami je tomar but I trust Goofy after his comments today :)

Anonymous said...

Being a marathi, I am very much offended by SVOI that they call Anwesha as "Bangalar Garbo". I feel that she is the pride of India. All the Indians should vote for her. She is above all competetions...I am pretty sure that she is the future star of India.

I am ashamed of India who did not vote for Anwesha. I am really really frustrated.

Nikkie Anand said...

Anwesha is beyond comparison. Aish is not even close to her. I prefer soniya to aish.

Lets wait n watch tomorrows episode and see.

Nikkie Anand said...

It was a wonderful episode as i just happened to love folk songs. But felt bad for areeb. Vyom shud have gone instead of areeb. Vyom is sticking around longer though.

I felt really bad for Anwesha. Whats wrong with people of India? Can't they see the talent. Still we Indians have that regional feeling i guess. I felt she was very disheartedn today. Poor gal!! But Anwesha u are too talented to be ignored. I am sure all music directors must be watching and observing.

I liked soniya's performace. Surprised that she is in scaryland. She is better than aish. I know Hard doesn't like soniya :).

My top 5:

1. Anwesha 99%
2. Soniya 85%
3. Aish 75%
4. Prakriti 60%
5. Vyom 59%

Kalyani said...

ok guys,
i am really gonna let off steam today...bahut dino jo man mein tha..i am gonna verbalise...
also, i am gonna break my own rules and mention a couple of singers from the prev show...

anweshas definitely the find of any reality show in this decade..shes way beyond this show or any other shows...i will not call myself a fan[we know what happens with fans..they cannot c beyond their nose..IMHO]..but, shes the best..and amazing..!!!

abt aish...its obvious shes come into this show..thinking she was the best..unfortunately, she didnt expect anwesha.the singer extraordinaire...her performances ahve slipped quite a few times...and still she hasnt come in scary land...!!!

abt soniya...i think shes 9 yrs..and shes quite honest abt whatever she expresses...comparing her with aish...aish, if u notice dispassionately..has a smug look on her face,shes very very sure, shes not gonna come in scary land..we wont go into the reasons...

prakriti also knows shes not gonna come in scary land...how ever bad she performs...!!!

very frankly, the only two kids with out guile in this show are anwesha and areeb...to a great extent soniya and vyom too...aish fails miserably at being a good actress...

hard, b4 u say i am vitriolic, did u once say that aish sang a beat slower wen she sang aaj jaane ki zidd na karo??but,i loved the way she sang...!!!we dont expect perfection everytime..but gaana dil ko choona chahiye...infact, i found anweshas renditions sometimes much better than the original...thats where that girl scores!!another point...i agree harshit in the prev show didnt deserve to b in the finals...ppl called him a mimicry artist,copy cat etc...what i want to say is...r we expecting an exact rendition of the original singer/song??then harshit was classy...we cannot b inconsistent abt this..either we expect total copying breath to breath,beat to beat...or we appreciate their singing and dont expect them to b copy cats??so, soniyas rendition yest was good...and if u want to talk abt her being slower than the original runa laila..then aishs aaj jaane ki...bcomes superfluous...!!!
gaana dil ko chhona chahiye...and let me tell u, soniyas much better...lots of times...shes also inconsistent...but aishs came into this show with experience, stage presence etc..lot going for that babe...

Kalyani said...

i know ppl will say i ahve done a volte face...its not so...i was always sure abt anwesha, soniya areeb etc...aish i always ahd doubts...and bas, mere dil ko choona band kar diya...sorry...!!!

Kalyani said...

@hemantji,
yup sunidhi lost the sweetness of her voice compared to when she was a kid....too much smoking..doesnt help much...another is sushmita sen..but, i love their voices....!!!
thats where shreya overtook sunidhi!!!
sunidhi is no less talented...!!!
cheers..!!!

Kalyani said...

at all those lovely bloggers..who think somethings wrong with the people of india who dont vote for the right talent...
this unfortunately is not a talent show,its a reality show ,wake up...!!these shows are made for the masses, not the classes..i am a classy mass!!!and the drama[whichs pretty non classy]....is made for the masses...and they vote accordingly...so talent need not b the winner...!!!

Kalyani said...

ok...this shd make neelakshi and amit and goofy happy ..i am gonna get off utopia and we can compare singers from diff shows..but, i will definitely chop off posts,i find will escalate into a war..., lets c how long and how well it goes...!!!
a request...pl mention vote banks or vote bases..and not places or regions the kids come from..i will def draw a line there...!!!

Kalyani said...

@hard, yup i agree wholeheartedly abt u r comments regarding vyom...!!! but i wud def rate areeb above vyom...as far as talent goes and the ease in his singing...!!!

Kalyani said...

@goofy...
last nite u mentioned abt hard making both of us do the hulla...i assume u meant the hula dances...!!!however hard anyone tries..its impossible with my size!!!i am pretty good at mental calisthenics and mental hulas!!!
sorry guys, i wrote too many posts...!!!just wanted to let off steam...!!!

Hard said...

No Kalyani,
I would not say that you're vitriolic by any stretch. Everyone has an opinion and the right to express it, so don't worry about ruffling my feathers, it will take a lot before I get incenced.
Anyways, back to your point of Aish singing a beat slower. Yes, she did and I mentioned it. I am definitely calling it the way I see it!!
Soniya sang Baghbaan beautifully and no one can contest that she did not.
She has a great voice but agar Aish nay aap kay dil ko choona band kar diya to does that become a rule across the board?
No, I would assume you will say. Right? :)
All I am saying is that we all have our favorites and the reason for why they are so. I feel really cheesed off when the same standards are okay for one person, but not okay for others.
I was really taken to the washers on this blog when I said that Soniya is 'chalak'. Mine was atleast based on things she said, or did (reading a fictitious letter, calling Ghulam Ali his dad) but yours are based on 'smug look', 'knows she won't go into scary land'. Where's the rationality?
What's 'smug' look for you is 'innocence' for others. What's 'knows she won't go into scary land for you' is 'sorry, I don't know and why she won't go into scary land except for the same reason as Prakriti won't. If you noticed, Aish is a 100 times better'?
I hope you see the point of my arguments 'cause all I am saying is that 'call it for what it is' and not for 'what's your personal opinion', cause in that case, I beg to disagree.

Hard said...

About you comments on Aish singing a beat slower and Soniya singing 'Kansura'. Its completely different.
Singing 'Kansura' happens when you DO NOT get the sur right at the start and then keep chasing it and never get it. You think you were fine cause you were not in sur the whole time. Its something that kills many a great 'potential' singers.
Singing a beat slower is not 'Kansura'. Not singing in tune for the entire song is 'Kansura'.

Kalyani said...

@hard...
ppl ahve mentioned aish has connexions with gaj or whatever...i am only talking abt her voting base...
all i can say is that so called letter,i was pretty horrified myself..but, i can bet my ass[sorry..]that it was another job by the producer..to garner votes..!!
haan, aish ke gaane mere dil ko choona bandh kar diya..no one has to agree...i agree with that!!who knows suddenly, i might just fall in love with her voice again...i am very very falliable and so r my thots to a great extent...[i am not yet a robot..just a very ordinary human!!!]and aishs falling a bit low in my esteem has nothing to do with her smug look...i am humanely above all that!!!
for me the top 5 will always b anwesha, aish, soniya,areeb, gitasri...and vyom has crept in slowly...!!..6th one..!!
cheers..!!!

Hard said...

Why is it that there are no Audio/Visuals about Anwesha, or that her Dad is not against her singing, or that she will not be able to sing today as she has 102 temperature (forget that she was ready to faint as she was singing 'Mausam ki adla badli' and making Kunal Ganjawala wonder, should Gayatri take fresh singing lessons?)
I think I am completely in love with that kid's singing, attitude, dedication, talent, soft spoken ways, humility, basically everything :)
Agar mujhey beti huee kabhi to uska naam Anwesha hee hoga!

Hard said...

Kalyani,
Now back to agreeable ways again :)
What a singer our man Abhaas is!!! I have been meaning to write this on this blog for the longest time but you stole my thunder today by writing about it (grrrr..) He should sing more!!!
He sang an Udit, a Manna Dey, and two Kishore songs with effortless ease. Nowhere could I notice that he is trying to reproduce the original. He sings all of them in his own way.
@Amit,
Yaar, bolo bolo, kuch to bolo..kahaan ho abndhuwar?

Kalyani said...

@hard, i agree with u r above post...and u won me over ,wen u said u wud name u r kid anwesha!!!i was amused !!!
bowing to u r superior knowledge on music..u cud b rite abt soniya damadam mast kalander..i see the show only once on tv..[with my lousy net connexion...i barely manage to chat or post on the blog..!!]..so, whatever my opinions are...they r based on that...!!!i dont get a second chance!!!
so, i give the benefit of doubt to myself..and bow down to u r , goofys and amits superior knowledge abt the finer aspects of the songs rendered...!!!

Hard said...

Muhahahah,
I have a DVR and I record SVOI Chhote Ustaad and keep watching it again and again. I have already watched Anwesha's performances 4 times today. Today was a treat man. Two fantastic songs each worth a best singer award!
Ila Arun to paagal ho gayee thhee episode mein. She was clapping, showing Kunal her goose bumps, dancing to Anwesha's tune.
Wow! I loved it.
Let me go and watch it once again...muhahahahahaha!

amit said...

@kalyani

I always compare the song, sang by diff singers in various shows. Personally I feel, it give us chance to judge any contestant. Its tough to compare 2 contestant singing diff songs.

Thats why I put up the link for songs sang by diff contestant in various show. By comparing all those links, one can easily judge the capacity of anwesha.

If you dont want that type of comparison, I wont post those links

Hard said...

Goofy,
Your insomnia acting up again?
Go dude, sleep or else we will have to contend with your 'hungover' comments tomorrow owing to the lack of sleep!!!
hahahahahahahaha!
Dil pe mat lena janaab..

Kalyani said...

@goofy and hard..
i ahve to agree that gaj is a master at ferreting out talent..but later,how he screws up stuff or is forced to[due to other factors...]..leaves a bad taste ...i really feel bitter esp abt the last show and the on going one too...and its time sms voting is stopped..IMHO...cheers..!!!

Kalyani said...

@goofy, pl put up links or compare..i cannot c most of the links,i ahve mentioned my constraints...!!!others r welcome to view them...prob wen i get abck to india..may watch all those links!!!and very frankly, if u look back at my prev posts , right from the beginning, i have classed anwesha way above the rest..!!!!in my own way..i can at least recognise class wen i come across it...!!!

Hard said...

Sleep deprived Goofy,
Couldn't agree more to the last paragraph in your last post.
This format caters more towards the retention of talent than garnering SMSes.
Don't be too surprised if Zee follows SVOI's footsteps next year :)

Kalyani said...

@hard,
this format,buddy,is only gonna work till next week...after that its a sms show all the way...no more judges opinions...!!lets c how long it takes to change u r opinion guys...have fun..

amit said...

no more judges intervention!! only sms! are u sure?

if that be case, then all of our hopes will be over. it will be really tough for anwesha to bring so many votes against prakriti/aishwarya.

Kalyani said...

@amit,
i didnt want to write this, but, thats what is being said in other blogs..and they r rarely wrong!!!
ppl will kill me if i write this..prob, gaj never counts online votes too...dunno,how true it is!!
but, i did have the same sneaky suspicion wen the last show was aired...!!!!

Hard said...

I read it too. Someone else on this blog was saying the same thing.

We were talking about the current format. That format sucks, everyone knows that!

i am talking abt this format...that there will b public voting only from next week...for once, ipray i am wrong..and anwesha sails thru...

Neelakshi said...

I have to say to Kalyani--I agree with eevry word you said about Ash,smug expression included. Its as if she knows she will be in fairy land every time.that itself is suspicious. and her voice is sweeet--that's all.Full stop.end.period.there's nothing beyond that,nor ever anything else.
I don't like her now,and eevn when i liked her earlier i never found her singing extraordinary.Sum ppl on this forum need 2 see through genuine praise(which is lavished on Anvesha) and mechanical praise(thanks 2 gajji,no doubt). why i mentioned harshit is bcoz ash is like hrashit in every way-ordinary singing, extraordinary hype.
again note i never said she is a bad singer.she is well above average.But she is 2 complacent.she does not have the hunger 2 experiment n learn like Anvesha.Anvesha is a true student of music.
i think all girls on this forum have got the right perceptions abt ash.she is not a good actress.she thinks she is going 2 win.and soniya is much better den her,and acc. 2 my rankings vyom n prakriti r not much behind her.in fact,dey r on same level as her bcoz dey r newcomers n r improving fast,butr ash is trained n has no desire 2 imrpove/try out diff stuff.
Vyom,prakriti n aish shud b eliminated in dat order.
i want Anvesha n soniya in d finales.Trust me,anvesha may surely win in dat case.as 4 ash's supporters,sorry,but even kunal knows they r 'biased'. (may i write here without it sounding bitter dat dey r d same ppl who voted modi 2 power...he he?)

Neelakshi said...

Abhas's every expression is sympathetic 2wards anvesha. he saw himself in d same position a few months ago when despite being the best,he had to lose out 2 'over-hyped' harshit n also'ran ishmeet.poor thing.he sang better den both of dem in d finales,n was appreciated more.after all,talent does win in the long run.
Anvesha,take heart from the fact that most unbiased ppl love ur singing.don't ever think dat ash n prakriti r more popular.the whole voting concept is flawed from the word go.who can say which contestant has more clout?
who can say which contestant has more frnds n family who vote? who can say which region is more determined 2 vote? these questions shud b analzed by the sms-loving producers.

I have noticed the most talented one usually comes third.why is that?abhas in d previous ssn,Poonam in saregama 2007, emon chatterjee in indian idol 3,rahul vaidya in ssn 1 etc. etc. the best never wins.can we turn the tables this way round?
i am just waiting 4 ash 2 cum into scary land.the expression on her face will be priceless.sorry if i sound vindictive,but i bbelieve anvesha's suffering is all due 2 ash and gajji. even prakriti cannot make her suffer this way bcoz prakriti is never praised by d guest judges who r all advised by gajji 2 over-praise ash. i think alka yagnik n adnam sami may even hve had 2 do it against their conscience, bcoz alka had good taste in d previos VOI n liked abhilasha n abhas,who r def. d most talented ones of dat show.

Totally agree with you Neelakshi....Aish is out from my list. I feel she is
a good copycat. No one can beat Anwesha. Her talent will take her beyond the
trp ratings, sms voting and zonalisation. She is even gonna outperform
shreya, alka and the contemporary singers some day. Her passion will take
her to heights. On top of everything she is too humble, sincere and down to earth....god bless her

Goofy,
Well said dude. I'd stay really really far away from this cockfight over 'how bad Aish is' as long as everyone agrees on my little angel, Anwesha!
Go for it girls, rip Aish apart :)
@Amit,
Yaar, yeh ek line ka bomb chhod kar gaayab mat ho jaya karo. What's the issue between Aish and Anwesha? Please batao.

Both of them (anwesha n aish) says no comment.

Just watched anamika singing Ami Je Tomar. first impression- I am not impressed. as anwesha singing hit the soul directly, it did not happen for anamika. have to watch the clips again. But anwesha is far supreme.

Regarding anwesha n aishwarya, I am getting updates from my parents. The reason was not disclosed in todays episode.

Hard said...

Are you watching the episode right now?
I would not be surprised if it is just some cheap publicity stunt where mountains are created out of nothing. Our media specializes in such futile exercises these days.
Where did you read it? I tried to Google it but could not find anything.

The updates of svoi I am getting from India. Thats true, it may be publicity stunt. Both of them sang qawalli together at the end of the show

Have to wait for kalyani's comment for details.
