The controversy over Abhijeet Kosambi and Anik Dhar –

Aditya said that two contestants Anik and Abhijeet winners of Saregamapa Bengali and Marathi respectively will enter the contest from the Bramhastra Round. But these two contestants are not selected by VS.

However this decision doesn’t go well with mentors and they just refused these two contestants to sing in Bramhastra Round. Himesh says why only restrict the entry to only Marathi and Bangla version winners, and not take in Gujarati, Punjabi and Telugu contestants, while Darbar refuses to let Anik and Abhijeet perform on stage.

What happens to them – whether they get selected or not is suspense till tomorrow episode…

Saregamapa Bangla and Marathi winners’ entry to the Bramhastra round creates controversy

Friday, June 29th, 2007

saregamapa challenge 2007Controversy just doesn’t seem to leave the sets of Zee’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. The latest issue (in tonight’s episode – 29th June) involves Anik Dhar and Abhijeet Kosambi, who won the Bangla and Marathi versions of the talent hunt respectively.

The channel gave them entry to the Bramhastra round since they are state champions. However, mentors Himesh Reshammiya and Ismail Darbar are miffed with this decision.

When Abhijeet Kosambi of Kohlapur was contacted, he said, “Everything is fine now and we both are now allowed to perform in the ‘Brahmshastra’ round”. He added, “It was declared during the finals of Marathi and Bengali version that we will be included in top fourteen. Well, the judges did not know this and so, they were against our entry”.

It is a little hard to understand that despite being announced before, the judges didn’t know about it or the channel deliberately didn’t inform the mentors about their inclusion. Even Himesh was on his insulting best behaviour and blasted, “Now that Marathi and Bengali winners have been given entry, why don’t we give entries to entries to Telugu, Gujarati and Punjabi winners as well?”

Poor contestants were very upset over the judges’ behaviour, as they were given entry because of the performances in their regional format of the show. It seems to be the fault of the channel for not conveying it to the mentors or their deliberate effort to create a controversy, as including a contestant is not a small issue and the judges should have been informed .

When Ismail Darbar was quizzed on this to why they objected their inclusion in the show, he said, “Like all the other participants they should have been in the show from the beginning for fair competition”. When we told him that the contestants were told about this during the finals of regional format, he said, “I had no idea and I was not informed by the channel”.

What’s your view?

Amant Ali’s Yeh hausla worthy of Ismail Darbar’s Special Gift

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

In the last episode of ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007’, Pakistani contestant Amanat Ali, rendered the number ‘Yeh hausla’ (‘Dor’) with such passion and precision that he left all the mentors spellbound.

But the biggest compliment came from Amanat’s mentor Ismail Darbar, who announced that Amanat was a contestant, worthy of receiving ‘the special gift’ from him. It may be recalled that a few weeks ago, Darbar had revealed his intention of giving away his most valuable acquisition of 25 years to the best contestant in the show. But he hadn’t revealed what the gift is. Although it is speculated that the special gift could be the one and only award that Darbar has won for composing the music in the film ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ or it may be the violin.

Here is the video of Amanat Ali’s spectaculat performance on ‘Ye Hosala’ (from movie Dor – original singer Shafaqat Ali Khan)

Vishal and Shekhar have got the Bramhastra for Saregamapa Challenge 2007

Monday, June 25th, 2007

Vishal ShekharHere is a good news…In Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007, Vishal and Shekhar (Hit It Gharana) have got the Bramhastra (at least in the hands of sensible gurus). For those who don’t know what Bramhastra is, let me explain you.

Bramhastra is the final chance for audience to get their favourite contestants back on the show. During the round 1 and round 2, the public is asked to vote for their favourite Gharana. The Gharana which gets the maximum number of votes, get the chance to choose the 8 contestants who got eliminated in earlier rounds. Among these 8, two contestants will be chosen by “audience votes” for the Agnipariksha round (The finals). The chosen 2 contestants will belong to the Gharana which has got the Bramhastra.

As Vishal and Shekhar have got this Bramhastra, they have chosen their favourite 8 contestants. The tentative list is here..

1. Desh Gaurav (Yalgaar Gharana)
2. Saaberi (Hit It)
3. Saarika (Hit It)
4. Harpreet Deol (Josh)
5. Aneek (Srgmp Bengali winner)
6. Raja (Rock)
7. Abhijeet (Srgamp Marathi winner)
8. Sunil Kumar (Josh)

I guess, they didn’t select Wasi and Sikandar because of their visa problem. I am surprised with the selection of Desh Gaurav. I think, Tushar or Yogendra pathak (from Rock Gharana) would be better option than Desh gaurav.

From this Friday, Bramhastra round will start (not sure about its format). The guests for this episode are – Dharmendra, Bobby Deol and Sunny Deol (to promote their movie – Apane)…

The voting details will be announced on that day. So be prepared for voting and to save your favourite contestants…

Aditya asks mentors to give the comments..

ID – Today I want to enjoy the moment of joy which I have got through Amanat’s performance.. So, will not comment..
HR – Amanat’s voice will suite all the leading heroes in the industry
BL – I was the one to bring you till the semi finals in SRGMP for Middle east.. Then when ID joined, he took him till the finals and made him the champion.. That day I told you to get the ticket and come to Mumbai and here you are..

Shekhar’s announcement of the contract:

Shekhar announces the contract for Raja, Amanat, Apurva, Musarrat and Junaid and says they will sing in their next movie.. Sunil need not feel bad..

Sunil is a good singer, but can improve a lot.. Sunil is wearing a red shirt and he says today he gets the color of his shirt…Sunil gets eliminated from the show.

After his performance, Vishal says he has not lost, he is winning and going away from the contest.. Shekhar announces that even Sunil will sing for the next movie of theirs..

ID – This is the first time in history that those who are out have got the contract.. One was the Assam boy who got contract from Himesh and another is Sunil..

Performance by Girls – Round 1

Rimi Dhar of Yalgaar gharaana sing Hai Rama from Rangeela

Saberi from Hit IT sing Oh la la la from Sapnay

Reecha from Josh Gharana sing Keh hi kya from Bombay

Comments from Gurus:

BL – Reecha is a classical singer.. She sang the alaap very well. Rimi’s anthra was not proper..
Vishal – All are good singers.. So, cant comment on who will be out..
Shekhar – Everyone sang with a feeling.. All sang ARR’s songs and I always buy two MD’s albums.. ARR and ID..
ID – None of them lived upto the expectation
HR – Tonal quality is good for all of them.. So, they all can record for the movies.. Other decisions, leave upto the Mahaguru..

Comments by Mahaguru:

Reecha was singing like a parrot.. Sur bhi nahin lag rahe thee. You should not cry, but you are out.. Reecha gets out in first round

Reecha starts crying and kuch na kaho song is played at the background.. She says she will not cry, but then becomes emotional and says – Bappida I am sorry, could not do it.. This is not the end of the race for me, I will work hard and go long way..

Vishal – They are winners who are leaving this contest..
BL to Anandji – You have made a wrong Judgment
Vishal says I do not agree to this.. (I think he also supported BL)
HR asks Reecha are you satisfied with the decision? And if not she need not be afraid of anyone and can say it frankly.. Its just a point of view which I want to put forward to the audience and will help you in the near future during Brahmastra..
Reecha first hesitates to say but the after continously pressurizing by Himesh, she says she is not satisfied with the judgment.. Anandji says good that you are frank..

Brahmastra

Just then there is a break and got a glimpse during the Ads that VS have got the Brahmastra and 8 contestants have been selected..
Few i could note are – Desh Gaurav, Saaberi, Saarika, Harpreet, Anik, Raja..
Please add if you know some.. I think Reecha’s name was also there…

Round 2 – Performance by Boys and Girls:

Raja sings Piya re from Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan album.. He forgets few lines in the middle and for a second, everything is stand still.. Performance was really good

Saaberi sings Leja Leja from Shreya and Ustad Sultan Khan album..

Both sang well, each one of them have their own style of singing.. Shekhar says they have selected Saaberi and Junaid for singing for VS records.. Anandji says good and thats very nice of them..

Regarding results he says – There were lot of variations in Rimi’s song and so he is choosing her and she also impressed him because of that.. So, Saaberi is out and Rimi is In

BL – Within september there will be many singers who would have made their debut album..

Saaberi says more than being sad for her, she is happy for Rimi

Shekhar asks Anandji to say few nice things for Aditya.. He says, Aditya was very small from when he know him and he has learnt a lot in these so many years.. Chota baccha jaanke humko from masoom is played at the background..

Aditya was smilling and was feeling shy too.. He was looking really cute that moment

HR – Our show TRP is the highest and is doing really well.. One reason is because you are very cute.. All start praising Aditya then..

Results for Boys:

He says – Raja did well, but Amanat was better than him.. So, Raja is out..
Raja just smiles and takes it sportingly..

VS – We are proud of you for taking it in the right spirit.. Today was Amanat’s day and tomorrow will be his day..

Raja dedicates a song for Aditya as he was the one who liked the song which Raja sang and got into Hit IT gharana.. The song is zindagi ek pyaas from Judaai..

ID comes on to the stage and hugs Raja.. ID and HR asks the public to bring back Raja.. HR asks Raja to sing Allah ke Bande so that god’s wish will also be with him and public will also bring him back for sure.. Raja agrees and asks HR to come to the stage so he can hug him..

VS enter the stage and say Raja will be the main singer today and that all mentors will sing in chorus along with him.. All the other finalists also joins him and they all sing Allah ke Bande.. It was an excellent performance.. Enjoyed it

Poll – Shreshtha or Mauli? Your opinion on Chakravyuh Round…

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

In Friday’s episode (22nd June) Mauli Dave has got green card and entered in final Round of Agnipariksha while Shreshtha who sang very well and was apprecialted by all Mentors got eliminated from saregamapa Challenge 2007. What is your opinion on chakravyuh Round? Who was better singer amongst girl? Shreshtha or Mauli?

Here are few comments after first round performances –

Vishal – Shreshta was the best today. Mauli is great performer but for singing she needs to figure it out.
Shekhar – Mauli, the aalap was great but after that sur was flat and pitching was not perfect…Shreshtha was awesome
ID – Shreshtha sang first time really well but Mauli is performing consistently well so we need singers who perform consistently …
BL – Shreshtha sang really well but Mauli also performed well. BL says Mauli is Shakira of India …and he will prove it…

Overall everyone likes Shreshtha’s performance

Here are comments after second round performances -

Vishal – Being a Sindhi I was feeling lonely but you sang a Sindhi song and made me proud. Shreshtha it was wonderful performance. Mauli you need to work hard on your lower notes.
Shekhar – Shreshtha you have powerful voice, Mauli you could have done better than this
BL – The Dama Dum song is very common and has been sung many times at the stage.. So, nothing new.. (what does that mean?) Mauli follows the record a lot and copies too much…
HR – Shreshtha you have done a fantastic job..outstanding..Mauli is one of superior and star contestants of this show. Mauli is performing very well consistently and she has huge fan following…If suddenly Mauli is out of the show then it’s a big JHATKa…I would say Mauli shouldn’t be out today…

Is there any justification for such comments from Himesh? How can he says Mauli shouldn’t be out today as she has huge fan following? So ‘Fan following is more important than singing’?

What is your opinion on chakravyuh Round? Who was better singer amongst girl? Shreshtha or Mauli?
