As the days are passing, contestants’ performances are also improving and everyone is giving his or hers best. Its really getting tough to say who will get eiliminate next. If Friday’s and Saturdays performances are counted, I would surely say Raja is at the top without any doubt. What surprised me is the performance of Mussarat. He was mindblowing in ‘Saware ..tore bin jiya jaye na’…It was one of the toughest song and he really sang it with ease. Hats off to Mussarat.
The weakest performers are Mauli (no doubt..day by day she is getting on my nerves) and at somewhat I feel Joy should be at bottom three.
What is your opinion on Friday’s and Saturdays performance? To whom you are going to vote for? And who should get eliminate in the next week?

I had to sell bhutka’s on the road side for the livelihood.. Poonam then goes to the STD booth where she was working.. She says “I used to work here and used to get only 450 or 500 per month” but that was not even sufficient for the electricity bill we used to get..
Poonam then continues on stage that there is something she wants to share with all of us.. She says there was a day when they had no food at home.. It was around 1.30 in the night when she was very hungry.. Her mom had asked her to get money from the place where she worked but as she was a person who had lot of self respect she didnt want to go and ask as she had already got so much from them in advance.. It was almost 2-3 days that they had not had food.. Then there was little atta present at home and there was not even wood for burning the stove.. So, they burnt the papers and made a little roti out of it and ate.. That is one thing she can never forget..

In an interview Raja Hasan has apologised for his forgetting lyrics twice - one during Piya re, and the second time during singing Tare gin gin ke. He explains both situations, accepting his fault. Raja Hasan, who hails from Bikaner, has consistently been getting the best responses from his audiences even though he forgets his lines on Zee Sa Re Ga Ma Pa
Listen to Raja’s Interview
When asked Raja about this mishap he said “The first time I forgot my lines during piya re piya re. That was because sometime before singing the song I got to know of my elder brother’s paralytic attack. Before that also, I went through lots of difficulties. My mind wasn’t in place and I just couldn’t sing such a sweet song.”
“Then last time, I was having a problem with the language and in all the confusion, I missed the line. I am feeling shameful; I want to apologize for that. I will see to it that I will never make such a mistake.”
“All these mistakes depend upon fate and what God has in store for me. A batsman like Sachin Tendulkar also gets out for 0 sometimes. I said sorry while singing because I knew that I had made a mistake. Everyone kept calling me to tell me that I should not have apologized but saying sorry immediately after an error is an old habit. If I would have not said sorry then I would have received very bad comments, which would have been worse.”
Raja said he has decided that he will now only sing songs which he is comfortable with. “I will work hard and will try to remember the lyrics and then the sur. I feel more responsible after receiving highest number of votes.”
“I tried to improve myself during today’s episode (21st, Saturday). When Salmanji praised me, I really liked it. He listened to my song very calmly and did not make any masti with me,” the singer added.

The country’s new-age singing star, Himesh Reshammiya, turns 34 today. The son of a Veteran Gujarati music director Vipin Reshammiya, Hiemsh was born on 23rd July 1973. This Birthday is very special for Himesh ..”This birthday is special for me. Till last year, I was just a singer. This year I sport a new feather of being an actor in my hat,” says an excited Himesh Reshammiya.
Speaking about matters close to his heart, the actor says that he plans to initiate some charitable move dedicated to the cause of street children. Making a birthday resolution, Himesh says that children are closest to his heart. “My heart bleeds when I see street kids who do not have the privileges of education and primary healthcare.
So, I will be doing one mega concert across the nation where the money raised will be given away in charity for the cause of street children,” he declares. Himesh also intends to work harder, as expectations are higher from his audience, “I want to walk the distance to win hearts of my fans,” says he.
This birthday has also brought in some exciting news of acting in big banner movies. “I’m in talks with directors and being offered roles, which have acting and singing as a combination. I am still finalising my plans. It’s too early to speak about them. But, the scripts I am approached with sound quite promising.”
So, here’s wishing the birthday boy good luck ahead

Comments:
Lara - The way you sang with fun and energy - I liked the performance..
Salman - I liked your performance, but did not like the way you hold the mike.. You should have hold it in Himesh’s style.. Have worn, Jacket, Cap so you should have done this also.. Himesh says - “I cannot say anything when Salman is in front of me”.. Salman then continues - You could have done better, but was so good.. This would have been Himesh’s first song but Kunal sang it (asks Himesh who sang then gets the answer from Joy) In this song there is a different style adopted by Kunal - you tried to bring it - but you could have done better.. But somehow you did well.. Himesh says - “Naak se nahin gaaaya na isiliye
