***This Week Spoiler***
Ok Guys..as always we are here to update you about the results for this week. The shooting for Friday and Saturday’s episodes take place on Tuesday..(yaa..they shoot both shows back to back) and that’s why we can get the results earlier..
This week Results (Confirmed)
Harpreet is Eliminated
Amanat is the topper
No.2 is Aneek
No.3 is Miss Mauli
Raja is number 4
Here are next weeks themes and songs..
This Week’s Themes -
Friday: Theme is songs on ‘ Rishtey‘
Saturday: Folks songs (Guest is Mr. Laloo Yadav)
Sumedha’s Songs -
Friday : Kabhi neem neen..
Saturday : Morni baga ma bole
Amanat Ali’s song -
Ae Ajanabi from Dil Se
Mussarat’s songs -
Sajna tere bina from bandit queen
I enjoyed watching the Salman episode. He was quite entertaining. Laloo probably will be as well. Who do you think would be a really good adn entertaining guest on SRGMP?
- WhatSays
The oracle says Elimination in SRGMP will be as follows-
1. Harpreet
2. Mussarat
3. Sumedha
4. Poonam
5. Amanat
6. Mauli
The final will be between Aneek & Raja with 65% chance of Aneek winning.
The oracle further says that this result is established according to the present idiocy parameters being followed by the organizers of the show. If sanity returns the predictions stand canceled & obviously the final will be between Mussarat & Amanat.
Hey, Mussarat is the Best. His “Aafreen Aafreen” song is still swirling through my ears. He should be number one. His voice is touching the mountains which hardly anybody can do. Amant sure is a very good singer but his voice and singing is sweet, not different.
Singers Audition for Saregamapa judges
Jagjit Singh sings his ghazals
Comments-
BD – Very good Bahut acche bus thora low notes par dhyan rakkho. 19-20 sur theek nahin tha par chalega
ID – Mindblowing 10. Tumhari Maa ki kya kahani hai??
HR – Thoda dil se aur gaana tha & will proceed to demonstrate by singing Hooton se chuu lo tum
VS – You have okay voice quality but are struck in a genre repeatedly singing soulful heartwrenching Ghazals. We would like to see u perform Signaal Pyar ka Signaal by Remo
I request the viewers esp Senty & Kanan, Harsh & Raw to conduct auditions for other singers too
To dear senty,
i came to figure out you are female…God what was i thinking!!!
but good to know your detailed observations on music and singing…
i haven’t had any chance over the last few days, actually weeks, to comment on any srgmp episodes…since you and HR are doing good jobs..
but clear me on that, if i am wrong about you
To Vijay, great job, lol
take care all
@ sid, you said:
[I don't think that Pakistani television/government would even allow Indians to come in and sing freely. I think that the Pakistani people would have welcomed Indian singers but that they would have recieved threats from religious extremists.]
You are right and wrong at the same time. You are wrong that Pakistani television and government would not allow Indian artists to come and sing/act in Pakistan, because many of them have come and have performed (as someone said above). But you are right that they may end up getting threats from religious fanatics as I believe Sonu ran into troubles when he came over and I wouldn’t be surprised if you send item girls to sing item numbers then the Mullahs would go bonkers. But please don’t send Rakhi Sawant, because if you do then I’d side with Mullahs as well.
Above I’m just kidding. You have to understand that Pakistan is not a great market for any kind of artists, but India is!. I believe the far and few Indian artists who do come over, are doing it for the sake of harmony but if Poonam Dilhon and Neha Duphia come to act in Pakistan, is that a favor or what??
This makes me recall a comment made by someone else against Junaid Shaikh. Let me tell you something, Pakistanis have lots of Pop singers laying around in that country. India on the other hand really need – lots and lots of – Pop singers. You guys can have Junaid Shaikh and you would still need many more.
Rest later
Who agrees with me that Indian Idol and VOI are honestly following the public vote but SRGMPA isn’t?
Look, they’ve been voting out the best, Toshi is over rated and makes mistakes, I don’t know what Jatin Pundit smokes but Toshi is not that great of a singer. But I don’t think he should have been out so early (as the rumor suggest).
II3 has consistently removing the best and have left the worst for the last.
All this indicates that public are voting correctly and the organizers are following the public voting with all honesty.
SRGMPA on the other hand are dishonest in terms of getting votes, they advertise their voting window to last the whole week, but their voting window is too short because they shoot the episodes early in the week. On top of that, they’re not eliminating according to how junta is voting, so they’re dishonest all around.
Another proof of why I think I’m right: SRGMPA is hugely popular, it beats both II3 and SVOI hands down in ratings and public emotions. Are these not the signs of ignoring junta and running your show as politicians with a mind?
@YOGI
Good to know there are others who like Mussarat. I hope he sings many many songs after this show. HR is an a$$hole ignoring the Mussarat for Aneek.
@dockaul
Man, u r awesome!!!!Very funny indeed. I have been reading ur comments(both of em) and laughing my a$$ out. Pls let us know abt other auditions soon.
Senty, tell me you’re kidding, Himesh didn’t record Aa Khushi say Khudkushi Kar lay??? OMFG, I almost had a heart attack when I first heard the glimpse of that pathetic song. May be CIA would like to have a word with Himesh, next time when he comes to sing in your baseball stadium, you make sure you don’t let him come back to India. The jails in India are occupied by stars anyway, you know what I’m saying.
aneek,
Please just sing and don’t bring your crazy love story on air. you sound so fake even when you bring it up. I think its just for free publicity. I really liked you performance but the moment you started your crazy love story it spoiled the show.
Man Mussarat rocks!! please vote for him more, he is a treat to ears. Himesh has moved his focus from him to Aneek, that is going to badly affect Aneek like Vineet
Hey Senty, thanks for mentioning that ‘Kadi aa mil sanwal….” song is by Meekal Hasan. I got that and made me load all ofhis song like sajan darbari etc. If you have not heard them yet, I would suggest to. Nice band with understanding of music.
Now what I say about saregamapa judgement,
“Sab Milay Huay Hain…”
Tansar
couldnt agree more with comment from avanthika about aneek..he is such a good singer..why he is spoiling his image and reputation by briging up this weird love angle along with mr himesh ..god only knows..that sounds so silly, stupid and sooo middle schoolish..himesh really needs to grow up..
Ismail and Himesh dono mile hue hai..they r trying to get aneek and amanat in top 2 with all positive negative cheap publicity..
Follow your brains…
folks,
Mauli is not 3rd. It is Sumedha.
Cool.
@dockaul – LOL! very funny!
Here goes:
Aditya – Hi everybody (in American accent)! Aaj hamare liye geet gaa rahe hai Manna Dey!
Manna Dey sings “re man sur mein gaa…“. The most famous female contestant is assigned to sing the female part of the song (original sung by Asha Bhosle).
(Audience applauds and Aditya returns on stage with a horrified look of “what in the name of God was that?”)
Judges comments and marks – (the scoring become corrupted after the judges realized the whole show was corrupted so now all four of them give marks)
HR – tum gale se gaate ho, kahin aur se ganeka try karo, aur thoda sur mein gaao. pehle apne hi genre mein achha gaao to tumko jaroor roti milegi. ten! dus! ten! dus!
ID – (tobacco chewing) mind blowing! exxiilent! kya gaya hai yaar… (spits) main to saath mein manjira baja raha tha. (spits) toone aur tere man ne dono ne bahot sur mein gaya. (spits) poooooooooraa dusssss! (spits some more)
HR – Baki sabhi singers ko seekhna chahiye tum se.
ID – Aise hi gaate rahe to koi singer ko wada-paav ki dukaan pe baithne ki naubat nahi aayegi.
VS – You did a good job, but it could have been better. You seem to have a stomach ache, but still you sang so well. And when music is playing, dont try to remember the lyrics, just sing. Audience ko pata chalna chahiye tum lyrics rat ke aaye ho. Hum aap ko 7 denge. Once you come behind our mike, it will become 10. We will work on the missing 3 points together.
BL – Manna tum achhe singer ho lekin thoda low notes pe bhi dhyan do aur sur 10-15 ho gaya tha. (sings a few lines of re man sur mein gaa to demonstrate how to sing low notes) Main tum ko 7 deta hoon aur 1 aur kyon ki female singing iss geet mein bahot achha tha. Aur aaj tum ne kamar bilkul nahi hilayi. Kyon?
Manna Dey faints on stage.
PS. No offense to any of the Mannada and music fans. It’s all in jest.
i think its time for mauli to go. There are other better than her they deserv to be winner. After at all who win or loose its not the issue its about who will get chance to be singer in bollywood. one after other all have to leave that stage eventually. I think winner is junaid and amanat , so on who already is singing in movies. whats the point being another debu jeet.. jeet is seperated from devu or debu whoever is that.. freakin hillarious.
@Tansar
Is it “Kabhi aa mil” or “Kadi aa mil”? I dont know and the web is giving me both lyrics.
Thnx for suggesting other Meekal Hassan songs. Its from the album “Sampooran” right?? See this is one of the songs that I heard for the first time when Amanat sang in srgmp … after that I went researching about this song on the web !!
Like a fool, I still watch this show with the hope that I will discover other beautiful songs that I may otherwise miss forever
Sigh !!
In fact I would love to hear from others in this form as well on what they think are great songs .. even if it has not been performed on srgmp.
@i48998
I dont think that khudkushi song is sung by Himesh himself but the music is by him….at least thats what Darling says.. This song kinda hints at professional suicide for Musarrat if he is waiting for guruji to hit the torch on the path to success.
Regarding your post above :
“Pakistanis have lots of Pop singers laying around in that country. India on the other hand really need – lots and lots of – Pop singers. You guys can have Junaid Shaikh and you would still need many more.”
I am sure you meant it in the right spirit, and yes, I would 100% agree that Pakistan has more quality Pop talent at this point and we (India) welcome them with open arms.. but its not that India “requires” pop singers.
India has ALWAYS welcomed music from all over the world, any genre of music at any time.
Remember Bappida India- Bharat – Mein Disco leke aaya……;-) (thanks Vijay !!)
and Alisha Chinai Madonna leke aayee.
Way back in 80s an African band, practically unknown, called “Osibisa” visited India and we rocked with them with the same ehthu we showed for Runa Laila from Bangladesh, Reshma, Nazia/Zoheb, and all those ghazal singers like Ghulam Ali, Mehdi Hassan etc from Pak. And ofcourse NFAK !!
I feel both our countries are so highly musically talented and its a shame to have to battle with political and religious sentiments before getting the freedom to express the talent on each other’s soil.
- Senty
@kanan/dockaul
LOL !! Nice work !! Dukh hota hai yaar… but couldnt help laughing
I am thinking ki kya hoga if these “gurus” were to audition in front of Jagjit Singh, Manna Dey ?? I wont know who to feel sorry for !!
Aditya introduces Himesh “Aisa hi ek dhadakta hua geet leke aa rahe hain.. Repeat Reshammiya !!”
Gurugraph comments “Himesh, Wah beta… kya baat hai !!
Hum to ek line ko ek hi time gaate the…. tum to kamaal karte ho…. har ek line ko teen teen baar gaate ho…. Bahut acha !! Mindblowing !! Ek baar ke 3.3333333333 so teen baar ke pura 10 !!”
- Senty
Just today i changed my openian that best singer ( Originaly) in saregamapa is as below
1. Mussarat
2. Amant
3. Raja
4. Poonam
5. Sumedha
6. Aneek
Mauli i didn’t write because as a good singer i didn,t count her.
this is on marit not on popularity because popularity can be change any time.
Can you remind me how many songs can be remamber from Aneek.
Hi All-
The honest truth is that I’m loser enough to pay through my nose for internet JUST SO I can find out what’s going on with the show.
What I will on this forum, though, is this…..Jo pyaar ki baat hai, vishwas ki baat hai, jo rishton ki buniyaad hai, woh ITTTTAANNNNI (HR style) mazboot ho gayi hai….maine socha kyun na yahaan comment karoon aur APNE MA-BAAP KA NAAM ROSHAN KAROON. (Seriously why does Himesh bring everyone’s ma-baap into the picture?)
@Senty, just yesterday I was playing my fave Lata songs on a non-stop loop and thinking we should have people on this forum comment on what kind of songs people should pick to maintain the competition’s standard. Another way to phrase it: if there were a judges’ choice round (yeah, keep dreaming), what kind of songs should judges ask contestants to sing…and here’s my list, in no particular order-
1. Aapki Nazaron Ne Samjha (Anpadh)- Once upon a time you could tell who would be a winner on SRGM based on how well they sang this song…THAT’S how many people used to pick this gem.
2. Laaga Chunari Mein Daag (Manna Dey) – I’m known to fall in love with anyone who can sing any complex taraana well.
3. Chupke Chupke Raat Din (Nikah, Ghulam Ali)- Man, I so want Amanat to sing this ghazal one of these days!! I’m restricting myself to filmi ghazals in this list because they seem to be the most well-known ghazals these days.
4. Hosh Waalon Ko Khabar Kya (Sarfarosh, J. Singh) – Actually this isn’t even one of my most favorite ghazals, but I’ve known people who started appreciating ghazals BECAUSE of this one so I’ll put it here.
5. Tumko Dekha To Yeh Khayal Aaya (Saath-Saath, J. Singh) – Seems easy enough but that’s only if you sing all the notes really “straight”. To get ALL of it right is quite something, and needs some amazing gamak.
6. Suniyo Ji Araj Mhaari (Lekin, Lata) – The.Most.Amazing.Anyone. Has.Ever.Sung. I heard it throughout the length of my flight yesterday and it’s still playing in my mind.
7. Yaara Seeli Seeli (Lekin, Lata) Does anyone else think Hridaynath Mangeshkar is one of the most underappreciated music directors in the history of the world?
8. Aaj Jaane Ki Zid Na Karo (Monsoon Wedding, Farida Khanum)
9. Naino Mein Badra Chhaye (Mera Saaya, Lata)
10. Naina Barse (Woh Kaun Thhi, Lata)
11. Justuju Jiski Thhi (Umraojaan, Asha)
12. Zindagi Jab Bhi (Umraojaan, forget the singer’s name)
13. Mera Kuchh Saamaan (Ijaazat, Asha)
14. Phir Kisi Shaakh Ne (not sure if it’s Ijaazat or Libaas, Lata) – Wins my vote for the most underappreciated ghazal in the world.
15. Khaali Haath Shaam Aayi Hai (Ijaazat, Asha) Another really underappreciated ghazal.
16. Khamosh Sa Afsaana (Libaas, Lata)
17. Ajahu na aaye baalama saawan beeta jaaye (forget the singer..)
18. Kaahe Tarsaaye Jiyara (Lata and someone else)
19. Humein Tumse Pyaar Kitna (Praveen Sultana) I love Amanat for singing this.
20. Raina Beeti Jaaye (Amar Prem, Lata)
21. Neend Se Aankh Khuli Hai (Beyond Time, Chitra Singh) Non-filmi, but I had to mention it because it wins my vote for the most amazing ghazal sung by a woman.
22. Lambi Judai (Hero, Reshma) Been sung umpteen times on umpteen shows but I never tire of it.
23. Is Mod Se Jaate Hain (Aandhi, Lata)
24. Woh Chup Rahein To (Jahaan Aara) – I think this was the first ghazal I ever loved.
OK I’ll stop now, this could go on forever. I’d love see know what makes your list, Senty.
-Harsh&Raw
@Harsh&Raw –
Pardon my jumping in (you asked Senty for the list but I beat her to it)

Any song of Manna Dey picturized on Mehmood would be awesome!
Meri yaad mein tum na (Madhosh) Talat Mahmood
Zindagi denewale sun (Dil-e-nadaan) Talat Mahmood
Now those would make some great songs I’d like to hear on the program. *dreams unlimited*
@Senty, yes “kadhi aa mil” is from Mekaal Hasan’s Sampooran. And other songs of MH are also quite good. You should hear their raag darbari track “yaare man buya” if you get a chance. It’s truely amazing.
If gurus were to audition… oh my! I can’t even imagine that. *sheesh* some of the contestants would start looking like gems in front of them.
Just watched the promo of saturday’s episode and Mussarat was too good yaar i doubted his song selection and i admit that i was soooo wrong. i just cant wait for the episode videos
This forum is a BAAAAD HABIT !!
I changed my build machine to Solaris last week so that I can use my XP to prowl this forum (software janta will know what I mean).
@Harsh&Raw/Kanan
*All* on your list will make mine too .. easily. OMG, we have such GREAT songs in our music history !!
80s/90s was a bad patch in my opinion. I completely weaned off
Indian film music during that time.
“Aaj jaane ki zid na karo” was one of my first intro to Pak music almost 15 years ago !! Sung by Habibwali Mohammad. Later heard Farida Khanum’s version and was it mindblowing or what !!
I didnt know it is in “Monsoon Wedding”. I dont watch movies even 1% as much as I listen to music.
Ok here you go (I would like Amanat Ali to attempt some of these.. but others, please, kripaya, stick to your genre..!!)
My list is omitting the obvious great songs.. which I’m sure will be in all our lists..
Some non-filmi ghazals :
Yeh dil yeh pagal dil mera – Ghulam Ali.
Dil mein ik leher si uthi hai abhi – Ghulam Ali
Main teri sulagti yaadon se – Ghulam Ali
Itni muddat baad mile ho – Ghulam Ali. Actually, this was also sung by Dilraj Kaur. Both are very good.
Yun saja chand ke chalka tere andaaz ka rang – Asha Bhosle. The story goes like this… I heard this song long back on another talent show on TV (dont remember which) in one of the non-filmi rounds !! I struggled to get more info on this since I didnt have internet-vinternet that time. Years later finally I got it on the web.
Raat gayi kar tara tara – Jagjit singh (its a punjabi ghazal) Many of you may not even have heard it.. I stumbled on it on emusic.com while searching for something else.
Shola hoon bhadakne ki guzarish nahin karta (JS)
Os pade bahaar par (Chitra Singh)
Phir kisi rahguzar par shaayad (JS)
Bahut dinon ki baat hai fiza ko yaad bhi nahin (JS – the *BESTEST* of JS)
Ishq fanah ka naam hai – Chitra Singh (I dont like her voice.. too shrill.. but this is a great ghazal. well done.)
Gulshan ki faqat phoolon se nahin kaanton se bhi zeenat hoti hai (Jagjit singh)
Some filmi :
Poocho na kaise maine raine bitaai – Manna dey
Kaun aaya mere man ke dware – Manna dey
Woh chup rahen to (Wow.. my fav of Lataji as well.)
Yun hasraton ke daag – Adaalat, Lata
Thandi hawayen – Lata. sounds easy.. but difficult to sing. Beginning tune was later lifted by Roshan for “Rahen na rahe hum”.
Lag ja gale se – I like this song better than “naina barse” – same movie.
Kuhu kuhu bole koyaliya – this is an amazing duet by Lata and Rafi. I dont have much training in classical.. but this one takes the cake.. the whole bakery for the best classical song “eva” in hindi music. I think the movie is “swarnasundari” (!)
Mere man ke diye – Parakh. This song is pretty easy to sing as well.. but there is no background music.. its an amazing lori. Beautiful !! Salil Chaudary music. Rarely heard.
Yehi woh jagah hai – Asha Bhosle
Jahan mein aisa kaun hai – Asha Bhosle (Hum Dono, sad version of “Abhi na jao chod kar”)
Aage bhi jaane na thu – Asha Bhosle
Man re tu kahe na dheer dhare – Rafi
Naache man mora magan – Rafi
Tumse kahoon ek baat – Rafi
Rang aur noor ki baraat kise pesh karoon – Rafi
Yeh duniya yeh mehfil mere kaam ki nahin – Rafi
Here are some from across the border that I enjoy :
Kaise chupau raaze gham – Mehdi Hassan
Khuda kare ke mohabbat mein yeh makaam aaye – Mehdi Hassan. I think Talat Aziz did a cover version of MH ghazals and this is one of them.
Zindagi mein to sabhi – Mehdi Hassan
Well, Basically MehdiHassan*.*
Inshaji utho ab kuch karo – Amanat Ali (the Ustad, *not* the srgmp kiddo)
Mausam badla – Amanat Ali
Honton pe kabhi unke mera naam hi aaye – Amanat Ali
Ghar wapas jab aaoge to kaun tumhe pehchanega – Asad Amanat Ali (You MUST listen to this one… if you have missed it !!)
Arz-e-niyaaze ishq ke kaabil nahi raha – Asad Amanat Ali (this too…!!)
Mere humnafas mere humnawa mujhe dost banke dagha na de – Farida Khanum
Kuch ishq tha kuch majboori thi – Farida Khanum
Woh ishq jo humse rooth gaya – Farida Khanum
Dasht-e-tanhaai mein – Iqbal bano
Muddat hui hai yaar ko mehmaan kiye hue – Noorjehan (Just one word – AWESOME !!)
Mujse pehli si mohaabat mere mehboob na maang (DITTO)
and so on…
SIGH !!
- Senty
@kanan @senty thanks for the compliments
As already envisaged by the Omnipotent Oracle Harpreet is down with Mussarat at the precipice. Please do vote at least 10 times each for Mussarat.. It will be a colossal catastrophe if the Nasal Nightmare(Kali) takes such a huge Bali(sacrifice) !!!
WHOA! Senty, your list is awesome and even more.. so much I have never heard, specially in the across the border section. I am saving the list and the hunt begins this weekend. Thanks for sharing your favorites.
@doc, very true… big sigh @ sacrifice.
I hope that I didn’t turn anyone off with my previous comments, I didn’t want to insult anyone just clear up the fact that this is an excellent opportunity for Pakistani and Indian people to enjoy each others music and opinions…
I truly feel that Pakistan should also hold something of this sort and that Indians should send good singers to the competition…
Maybe in the coming years with the broadening of technologies to the farther regions of each countries some of the biases can change to the positive…
I know that we on this forum have already discussed this many times over, but I just wanted to clarify my comments…
@Kanan
I know my list is very very odd. Many regular music listeners wont give it a second look because the songs are very rarely heard.
I hunt for such rare songs. Thats my timepass actually
In “Parakh”, Lataji’s “O Sajna barkha bahaar aayi” is most popular… but not the “Mere man ke diye” song which is more melodious.
I feel very fortunate that I caught these songs early on in my life and right now I am collecting them like its nobody’s business :0)
The “across the border” ones dont have great beats or attractive tunes.. but the lyrics are to die for.
- Senty
@Kanan,
Most of the songs on your list would make mine too, except I was consciously avoiding songs that (I think) people know about. That’s why there are so many ghazals too, some from lesser known movies. Getting people to give credit to underappreciated people has somehow become the mission of my life! Ask my why I like(d) Junoon’s music, and the answer is “because they make such good use of the tabla”. Once it entered my head that the tabla was the most fabulous instrument ever (I mean seriously, melody AND rhythm!) and under-appreciated, ALL I could hear when I listened to a song was whether it used the tabla or not and in what way. This is precisely why I liked Lukka Chhuppi (RDB) — the antara is so simple but the tabla..oh the timing, the taal used..all of it is just PERFECT and makes the antara SO MUCH more beautiful!!
@Senty and @Kanan both-
Tora man darpan (Kaajal) is a Lata song. Sadly, not my favorite any more ’cause I totally dissected it in 10th grade for a competition (I won)! It’s like how your favorite chapter in the English textbook is no longer your favorite once the teacher has dissected it to bits. Ditto for Shokh Nazar Ki Bijliyaan (Woh Kaun Thhi). I couldn’t decide between this one and Aao Huzoor Tumko for another competition so practiced both, finally picked Aao Huzoor. Lag Ja Gale (Woh Kaun Thhi) is another great song that’s stood by me whenever I didn’t have time to practice, and I like it more than Naina Barse too, except I’m yet to sing the latter before an audience. I was going to include Chitra Singh’s Tu Nahin To Zindagi Mein (Saath Saath) but I sang it for a recital 2 yrs back and you know the story. I would play it day and night to get every nuance right and I haven’t heard it ONCE since the recital. Humne Dekhi Hai (Khamoshi) is one song I didn’t include on my list thinking then I’d end up including a whole lot of other songs that I consider are on the same ‘level’ of tough/easy (to be FAIR to them) and that would take too much time
Examples of that would be ‘Akele Hain Chale Aao Jahaan Ho’, ‘Zara Si Aahat Hoti Hai’,
The songs I can’t BELIEVE I missed out are Rasik Balma and KUHU KUHU BOLE KOYALIYA (OMG what an awesome song)!
I would also add Nadiya Kinare (Abhimaan)
I used the Monsoon Wedding reference because I was sticking to ghazals that have been featured in movies (for the convience of these bachchas on the forum, that is). Sheesh, I feel so old. Senty, I have to go check out at least half of your list dude (and that’s not even counting the across the border songs)! Pray that I am able to wait until the end of my “vacation”! Also, please check out teh album Beyond Time by J/C Singh if you haven’t already.
I’m tempted to add my fave non-filmi ghazals as well but…there’s the vacation in my way.
Don’t mean to sound petty, but if I were the award the bakery to one song it would be Suniyo Ji (Lekin).
OMG I need to go!!!
-Harsh&Raw
PS: Could we exchg email addresses to facilitate better communication, please?
Mauli crap should have been eliminated in episode 2.
what an insult to have this besuri put together with other talented contestants.
perhaps Z is interested only in USA $sss, but they have no idea how many USA watchers ther r going to be loosing in future.
@Kanan
Aankhon se jo utri hai dil mein – Asha Bhosle
Wow .. How could I have missed it !!
One more for classical -
Pawan diwani na maane – Lata. I think the movie is “Dr. Vidya”
BTW, I hear aaj Musarrat ne sab ki band baja di !! Wow.. good for him !!
- Senty
Great songs are being mentioned and great instruments such as tabla. H&R, I feel tabla is the soul and life of Indian music. If you take it out, you don’t have any life left in that music. Well, I think Senty already knows where to go to see my favorite songs.
You girls should start writing your blogs with your favorite songs like I do. That way we all can share our favorites and learn about new songs.
Another good one is megha chhaaye aadhi raat from Sharmilee, and also tumhe dekhti hoon to from Tumhare liye. Both by Lata. Pawan deewani is lovely! That reminds me of aye ri jaane na doongi.
Btw, H&R, I thought tora man darpan of Kaajal was by Asha and not Lata. No? I could be mistaken though.
@Senty – Amazing list of songs
@H&R & Kanan – Tora man darpan is by Asha.
I know some who has an amazing collection of songs ( Old). I am at the moment converting them to MP3. If you need any rare gems, tell me , maybe my friend will have them.
BTW. Apparently “Kuhu” “Kuhu” was once sung in a live concert by Asha & Manna Dey, and their version had received a standing ovation.
Yup.. “Tora man darpan” is by Asha.
Remembered another Lata song “Jyoti kalash chalke”
Here is a pure “Hindi” song by Rafi – “Nav kalpna nav roop si rachna rachi jab naar ki” from the movie “Mrigtrishna”.
Thanks Vijay for the titbit about Ashaji and Manna Dey singing the song in a live concert. Must have been awesome.

Thanks for the comment and as a Pakistani I’m commenting in the spirit of better understanding of two nations – i wanted to point out the fact that right wing extremists groups exist in both nations and have often been used by politicians to gain whtever advantage they can – i remember one time when Pakistani cricket team went to india, bal thakery and their organization had staged a lot of drama against them etc – so things like that have happened in both countries – but having said that i think atleast today’s generation realizes taht we do not want to just stick to the “tit for tat” politics and like you said Pakistanis for their country and for their region would also like to aspire for higher goals and get out of this circle of hatred that has been existing … like a common indian, any ordinary pakistni also wants peace, these wonderful cultural exchanges, having the bility to catch a train and go visit delhi or lahore stuff like that …
Just to clarify one more thing yes as some people already mentioned there have been lot of indian artists that have been acting in pakistani dramas, have visited pakistan in the recent years, among them akshay kumar (i feel thats why he made that comment about pak in SRGMP since has experienced the love from pakistanis when he visited), urmila, sushmita sen, shubha m. etc – have performed in pakistan in karachi lahore etc and have recieved exceptional treatment – (btw i am not denying there are extreme elements in pakistan and sometimes exaggerated more by the media but nevertheless this is not the norm in pak)…. okkay i’ll stop here and here is a collabortive video done by urmila and Shafqat Amanat Ali’s Fuzon group…

Lastly its so good to see so many people on this forum who are speaking for peace and for love between two countries and supporting artists irrespective of their nationalities…so thats wonderful —and all credit to zee for giving all these artists this platform and introducing us to all these singers … ok now i feel like singing “what a wonderful worrrllllddd…”

i just read your second posts… there are so many comments i missed that one.. but i hope my comment above is not taken in the wrong sense…i guess take a chill pill.. but definetly you’re right its great to see this competition and seeing how all these singers have come so close and it’ll be great if pak does something similar…so you’re absolutely right…
@Sid
I read and re-read your posts trying to find out what is making you feel as if you turned off someone.. atleast I couldnt find any bad sentiments in your posts…

@senty
its “kadi aa mil” by the way – its punjabi or siraiki i beleive…
okkay and i dont see abida parveen’s name here .. do you guys know of her..she’s one of THE best sufi female singers..her voice is divine..
to start with…
http://ww.smashits.com/music/ghazals/songs/4588/abida-abida-parveen.html
listen to “Mun Kunto”
and also another favourite is this one ..i dont know how the quality is …
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo33kf6SeyA
hope you’ll like it
Abida Parveen .. hmm I have one song “Jab se tu ne mujhe deewana bana rakha hai” its so powerful !! her voice !!
Did she also sing “Har tarannum mein mili hai teri awaaz mujhe” ? Correct me if I’m wrong.
Wow I love that ghazal !!
Thanks for the suggestion Saniya.. I will definitely check out her sufi songs !!
Its a very “dard bhara” geet even if I dont understand the words completely.
And thanks for the “kadi” correction
- Senty
IMHO It would be a great disservice to Music across the Border if the name of Madames Munni Begum & Abida Parvin at least are not mentioned. Abidaji is the definitive colossus of Sufiana singing & Munni Begum is the Jagjit Singh of Pakistan (Easy on the ear/easy to understand).
For beginners I would recommend exploring Awaargi Mein by Munni Begum
Thumri Aficionados check out Baaju Band Khul jaye by Abida Parvin (Rating ***** Just dim da lights Sip some wine & thank me)
Lovers of fusion music try FUZON – Saagar- Ankhon ke saagar
There are numerous versions floating around of all the above mentioned songs.
@Senty Kanan H&R & all others interested in links to my favourite versions for downloading mail me @ dockaul@indiatimes.com
@Senty only 1 ghazal of AP !!!! mail me quick for a life changing experience..
UTOPIA ACCORDING TO ME
Saregamapa Heaven
MUSSARAT & AMANAT in Finals & getting loads of songs in future
RAJA becoming the biggest playback singer in India.(for six months only coz He shifts to acting in Ekta Kapoor’s MEGASERIAL “Rotele Raja ki Rasleela” & sing occassionaly like the Big B)
ANEEK moving to Tollywood starring & singing in the Mega Hit “Kaun Thi Woh” costarring Diya Mirza.
POONAM given the National Award for Best Singer for Ismail Darbar’s next movie ( This would take some time as he is so choosy, He chooses only Sanjay Leela Bhansali & Bhansali regrettably no longer chooses him)
SUMEDHA & JUNAID elope, with the Bhatts (Mahesh, Mukesh, Pooja, Soni et al) conducting the ceremony. Junaid becomes a rockstar & Sumedha has a contract with Hasbro/Mattel for her own line of Su-D-uh Dolls ( will sing all simple songs & simper sensuously )
MAULI & HIMESH make a MINDBLOWING mega international ALBUM titled “SCREAM” featuring the MINDBLOWING HIT “ MAIYYA MAIYYA” with profound lyrics by HR & Mauli * Maiyya Maiyya Kho gaya mora Saiyaan, Maiyya Maiyya batao kya karoon maiyya,
Maiyya Maiyya raat ho gayi Maiyya , Maiyya Maiyya so gaye hai saiyaan UH OH UH OH UH HO OH OH OH UH OH UH OH UH OH OH OOO AAH AAH AAH AAH *
SHEKHAR stars in a “ Bheja Fry” kinda fillum with Ranvir Sheroy
VISHAL gets in to the Guinness book of world record in the “ Longest stare without blinking” category
ISMAIL DARBAR stars up with Saurav Shukla to make a superhit “ Kalloo Mama & Ishmaeel Hathoda” Bhojpuri philm.
BAPPI LAHIRI donates all his ornaments (yes all 2.8 tonnes of them) to a foundation started by Saregamapa for upcoming artists & starts a training academy along with Annu Malik for aspiring singers. ( Both have a very rational self assessment of their singing hence who better to teach nuances of Raag Alaap & lo notes )
@dockaul
I have some (4 or 5) Munni Begum ghazals .. “Mujhe apne zakht pe naaz tha” etc… not heard heard “Awargi mein..” I will check it out ! Thanks yaar !!
And oh yeah… Fuzon ! *Every* song is good in Saagar. Khamaj is my fav. I thought Amanat (srgmp kid) did a great job on this one. And Junaid as well on “Tere bina”
I heard Euphoria’s “Maeri” for the first time when Harpreet sang it ! It was awesome ! I am not getting that song for download anywhere
Another song I have been looking for for >10 years is Mehdi Hassan’s “Jal bhi chuke parwane..” I have the live performance recording, but I want the “Original”. Will keep looking…

Mauli certainly sucks….
She cant sing n Bappi wants to make her Indian Shakira…..wait till the pigs start flying…
Bappi : “Evil be Indian Sucky Ra”
I bet she does suck…tats y…
Wat I dont understand is..when she sings so damn badly….y these judges r praising her….all the rest r ziilion times betta than her…so y give her false praise…or they just want her to be there to get the TRPs….
Anyway…this saying is sooo true for SRGMP…”Jo dikhta hai woh bikta hai”
n these judges…they r hypocrites…instead of supporting their own participants who r much betta..they wld rather talve chaat of mauli…go to hell….get new n betta judges..
Frankly, I wont be surprised if Ztv is manipulating the results…just to have tat besuri tex-ass to be on the show n satisfy some guys to get TRPs…
Or perhaps those luce lafange awaara who watch n get cheap thrills r voting her…
When other sings…bappi says sur aache nahi lage..upar ke sur mein garbad hai…neeche ka sur nahi laga…wat the hell….tex-ass ke kaun se sur lagte hai….perhaps her she moans in perfect sur …tats y…
lastly, for those who think i got no right and no business to say this…get a life…she is on the national tv…on a reality show…we the audience are asked to vote the participants…so tat makes this my business n my right too…
Hey. I got a bit confused now. Didnt Sumedha gain the 3rd position this time? Y does this post say that Mauli did?

ANEEK is singing like a professional singer. Look at his Versatility. He will be a great singer. Any type of song he can sing. Musarat, Raja, Amanat are also good singer but they have no versatility. They can not compete with Aneek in future… even any one of them win this challenge. Beleive me…….
In my opinion, Raja and Poonam should be in finals.
Himesh Reshmiya should not be allowed to talk all nonsense on this show. He is spoiling the image. Why should he be encouraged to talk someone’s personal life.
@Dockaul-LMAO ROFL!! good job

have you guys seen today’s Aneek’s performance? Great performance. I mentioned it earlier he is such a versatile singer….. Raja, Musarat, Amanat all are very good singer but they can sing only particular type of songs. But today Aneek sang Kisorda & Manna dey’s duet song by himself. He is true singer…. believe me.
