  What about Abhijit Kosambi?
  I wonder how he could be forgotten so easily!
  Some of his performances (“Nahin saamne”, “Chanda re”) were simply sublime, he was no less than top 4-5 qualified singers.
  Abhijit was the most ignored and underrated singer in SRGMP as well as in this forum.
  I am pleased that lately Harpreet, another neglected one, has received some appreciative comments here, though I doubt it matters much, as most people here are unbelievably lopsided in their judgment.

  Hi there!
  There may be many arguments on this show about whose child was best but I guess Kareena stole the show! She looked fab…not anorexic (that�s what I heard about her lately). & her ear rings were so pretty! I want them�but let me pinch myself! I am trying to give up my extravagant living �so Basumatika�control urself! The credit goes to Poonam,I have learnt a lot from her!
  But surely, the Kareena show was curtsey Hinishness! Proof…He was all over Kareena & she even appreciated his movie Aapka Surur & his performance! This is the biggest proof! I am ready to accept that Aneek sang well but to admire HR�s acting,man,u require lots of guts! Taking into consideration the fact that Kareena was without offers past one year, every promotion for her counts .It was HR who called the director/producers of the movie on the set & welcomed them & not Aditya! So Kareena paid back by supporting HR when Vishal first time raised some issue against HR. But as I said many times before,HR is a good businessman(baniya)! Kaise dhundke gana nikala apne baccheke liye! So kareena got some act to do by singing Ankho hi ankhonme line! seriously HR doesn’t even loose one slightest chance to falunt his Oink!So publicity hungry,sick,sick!

  So Aneeks mom, u need not worry for Ur baccha ! He has got a big mom here who even wears skull cap to scare us all!

  What to say about Poonam! Bad luck towards final! I always worried about what if sore throat? As I know, she sings thr her gala & not nose & what a timing! I chewed 4 lozenges myself while watching the show & even I wanted to spray Cepacol to send her telepathic cure! I hope that junta understands that she has sung so well in the past, one bad throat day performance shouldn�t affect her! God, pls save Poonam! Pls all good souls on this forum support Poonam. (Senty, u better understand sore throat ok,otherwise lathi for sure )

  Himesh did double Sympathy experiment today.
  One for Raja �U will get sympathy votes!
  Second on Poonam.By rubbing sympathy word on her wounded throat! By suggesting public to eliminate her bcse of her bad throat!Poonam don’t worry,use that salt to gargle ,ur bad throat will be singing throat again!All my energy to u,gal!
  I think, HR hates Poonam & Raja big time! He is so scared of them! He can�t even speak to Poonam one sentence without using the word sympathy! Probably, he has not understood that we have all lost sympathy for him & for that matter his Aneek also! So no, not even a sympathy vote from me to Aneek!
  Thanks to Vishal for at least trying to raise voice against the agreesive, overbearing & possessive HR!

  Gaffar,don�t pay attention to ka ka ka kiran.. (u know who) on this forum!U r a one of the finest soul on this forum & we all love u! keep praying for our Poonam sister to qualify for finals!

  Until a few weeks back, this forum was more entertaining and informative. There was a lot of interesting discussions and overall, it was a fun and enjoyable experience to post and to read the posts. But oflate it’s boring and getting more and more depressing, if I may say so. The HR drama and the hatred for Aneek (very unfortunate) has taken over this show AND this forum. Most of the Aneek hatred in this forum is totally unwarranted. I guess it is fun to join sides and goad and provoke the opponent. Not to mention the weird Indo-Pak comments trying unsuccessfully to generate more hatred.

  This is just a damn TV show, will get over in a couple of weeks and we’ll all be back to our lives.

  I doubt if any of us will really support these top 5 when they come out with their music. What if the music sucks? Would we still buy it?

  Does anyone here really, honest to God, BUY music? Unless we BUY their music, and not get it from Papuyaar, its a moot point to argue kaun kitna achcha gata hai or who should win this show.

  come on senty, its not just always about monetary things. i for one do buy the CD if its worth it.

  just vote for the candidate whom you think is the best! however, don’t fall into corrupt hype and unwarranted emotions, dramas etc. mainly, because the votes in indian shows does not come with any independent assurance. it can be manipulated at will it seems. so, forums such as these or any other mediums are a good thing and act as a counter pressure! it helps towards conveying the message to the producers that they can not get away with blatant fouls at our expense.

  we shall go back to our lives and another format will come back etc. however, this is how folks are made off. look at shrey ghosal and kunal ganjawala. they are doing damn good in the market! so you want the right candidate to show up in the market. after all, it is for our entertainment! so yes, i do care, and do not want to bring crap to flood my CD racks and will do whatever is my reach to safeguard my interest! i sincerely hope i am not alone in such a thought!

  Some body says he/she had heard nothing special from Aneek! Is he/she deaf?
  What about the shergil song(bulla), in dino, Apne and others?
  No, I am not Aneek’s fan. But people should have balls to appreciate good music even if that contestant is not his/her favourite!

  I find not many people here in these forums have balls. There is too much heat but no weight at all from the majority of the comments!

  @sarkar_bahadur
  Good post. I too spend a lot of money buying music. And you are right about these forums keeping a check on manipulations by the program organizers.

  But I dont think *any* of the current singers, SRGMP or Indian Idol, can come close to a Shreya Ghosal. She went thru very strict quality control and proved her worth. AND got the right breaks @ the right time.

  SRGMP contestants are really good. But they can’t go far with the way they are now. They’ll need more grooming, a strong godfather and a favourable celestial allignment.

  Lastly, for us janta, it may not be a monetary thing, but for the producer/singer/label putting out his/her CD, its *ALL* about money.

  @Gaffar Bhai,

  Thanks a lot for the marvellous poem by Ahmed Faraz. It will be a part of my collection of shayari now. It is very diffcult to think of a world without these touching shayari and poetry, which has the power of healing a wounded heart.

  I am also writing a few lines of poet “Gopaldas Neeraj”, which is a tribute to all those who had to migrate from their own country for once and for all:

  ” Do hue to kya, magar hum ek hi ghar ke sehan hain,
  Ek hi lau ke diye hain, ek hi din ki kiran hain.

  Shlok ke sang aayaten, padhti hamari takhtiyan hain,
  Aur holi-Eid, aapas mein abhinn saheliyan hain.

  Hum nahin Hindu-Musalmaan, Hum nahin sheikho-birahman,
  Hum nahin kazi-purohit, hum nahin Ramu-Rahiman.

  Bhed se aage khade hum, fark se anjaan hain hum,
  pyaar hai mazhab hamara, aur bas insaan hain hum.”

  @Jose,
  Fully agree with your views. If a lie is told to the people again and again in a very flowery manner, people tend to believe it, and this is because there is no one to deny it. HR appears to be very anxious to speak and would not let go any opportunity of taking over from fellow mentors, contestants and even special guests on the show and would not let them even complete their sentence.

  It is high time, we have some one who could show him the aaina and his true face.

  Hi

  Amanat- the performance was very good but karina rated 20 upon 10. It was enjoyable but not his best, he has to work hard to reach Aneek. But I liked him from the day one. His pronunciation is very clear.We have many singers like Amanat as well, he will sing for India but most important is Pakistan found a leading singer for their music industry especially with the filmy kind of song… as I believe they have sufi, and classical singers mainly(I may be wrong as I don’t know much about Pakistani) I am from India. His country should support him the most as we have many other singers to support. We already gave him some chances.

  Poonam- simply worst among these 4 in this episode, this was not expected from her, she sings much much better then this. She sings Jasvinder Narula’s song well, also she sang lataji’s song which was good. It also reminds me that she does not have any formal musical education, that way I think she is doing great, if she get a music guru she will be one day, one of our powerful play back singer of India and do some “tehelka”

  Raja- He is good at certain type of songs, his low notes are poor, In this episode he could not start the line “baaten mulakatan”…. Baaten was only “eeee” in the first time, when he repeated the same line then he picked up the word properly…. When he ends a line at times he doesn’t finish the word properly as sometime he lose his breath control…when he takes a high note, as an audience I can see that he is exerting lot of pressure thus look uncomfortable. He is great in sufi ( and Ma tujhe salam type) of songs. He will equally do good in Indian music but again he has limitations, he is not versatile. He comes from a musical family he can do much better if he works on his breath control.

  Aneek- HE IS THE BEST. So far he has given outstanding performances. He has nothing to prove himself. He has been judged earlier by Pandits and Classical great Maestro of Indian music. Please google it and find out if you have doubt, the Judges in Bengali Zee singing competition are not Judged by (aajkaal ka chokra HR,VS,ID and BL( though he is little bit old)). Vishal said he is technically good, Vishal has developed some insecurity of late his comments are wired, he says Aneek is good in every respect, technically performance wise but he says he its not up to him…very contradictory, I guess I know its all his fear for Raja, ID said “yehi final ka performance hain, Karina said he is the best. Aneek’s high notes ARE PERFECT AND LOW NOTES ARE PERFECT TOO. He has some sweetness in his voice. His “harkaten” are SO PERFECT, MINDBLOWING”…I sometime cannot believe my ears that how come a 17 year old lad can sing SOOOOOO PERFECTLY. I have few Bengali friends(we call them “rasogolla”) as they have problem with their Hindi they sound “O”) please forgive me Bengalees I never meant to hurt your feelings. I must also mention I have two or three Bengali friends from Delhi they speak perfect Hindi with no mother tongue influence, and I find ANEEK is one of them, so PERFECT IN PRONOUNCIATION, HIS URDU IS GOOD TOO. Its all god gifted. He is going to rock not only kolkata but Hindi film industry also.

  @ SHARUKH and @TRUTH and all WHO SUPPORTED ANEEK… I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO THANK YOU ALL, YOU HAVE A GREAT SENSE OF MUSIC AND EDUCATION, AND YOU ALL ARE NOT BAISED, IF HE DID NOT DO WELL WE ALL WROTE HERE ABOUT THE SAME, AGAIN WHEN HE ROCKED THE STAGE WE ALL APPRICATED. I LIKE YOUR SPIRIT GUYS…

  IF ANEEK WINS I GET NOTHING BUT I WILL BE HAPPY THAT THE RIGHT PERSON WON THE TITLE OTHERWISE… WHO REMEMBER SANDEEP THE LAST INDIAN IDOL. THAT TIME I SUPPORTED KARUNYA, AMAY DATE, BUT THEY WERE VOTED OUT BACUASE OF SOME UNSENSIBLE PEOPLE WHO VOTED HIM OUT. I WONT BE SURPRISED IF THAT HAPPENS HERE TOUGH.

  VOTE FOR ANEEK, HE IS THE BEST

  Even I have lost interest in SRGMP after Mussarat’s exit. No contestant has that kind of charm(powerful voice)to touch my soul. Mussarat voice was a magical treat to our ears.

  I include me too in Him-a$$ haters club. And I am proud to join this club. It gives me pleasure that I am hating an evil pest called Him-a$$ besharmiya.

  And I would buy Mussarat’s CD anytime @anyprice, would attend his shows if held in India/USA. Would love to do a word of mouth marketing campaign for Mussarat’s albums. I wish I have enough money to conduct Mussarat’s shows all over the world for Mussarat’s fans.

  Saregamapa lost its charm when Aneek and Abhijeet joined the show. Abhijeet lost out because he didn’t have sufficient time to build an emotional connection with the audience, seeing that HR has been relentlessly shoving Aneek down our throats. The bias has been obvious and the show has lost many good singers because of this favouritism. If Aneek hadn’t joined the show, HR would not have switched sides and disowned his one time favourite Mussarat. Since that time other gurus like Bappi also started to push singers like Mauli and ID said “mere paas Amanat hai” etc etc. I really wish Aneek wasn’t a part of this show; it would have been so much more pleasant and nicer.

  The stupid judges and guests of saregamapa.

  A few weeks back HR made a few monumental blunders, firstly he emphatically stated that (not once but twice) the viewership of saregamapa is 500 crore!!! and also said that 90% of Tushar Kapoor’s movies are hits!! LOL. As if that was not bad enough this time Kareena Kappor made a hilarious and pathetic statement “Aneek mein tumhe 10/10 nahi balke 100/100 deti hoon”. Miss Kapoor if you remember math from your third grade, you would know that 10/10 is exactly the same as 100/100!!! ROFL.

She was a bit off colour on Saturday but so have other contestants at various other points during this contest. In any case she had a really sore throat. So, we must give her the same latitude that has been offered to other contestants. PLEASE VOTE FOR POONAM.

  Hello everybody.

  Having watched Friday and Saturday’s episodes, I can say that everything is hanky panky with SRGMP 2007. Biggest shock came to me when at last Ismail Darbar revealed his true colors, by sacrificing Poonam. If you have followed the entire SRGMP you must have noticed that Amanat has been all along singing dull slow paced songs, while Poonam has been giving rocking performance, one after the other. It is the guru, in this case Ismail Darbar, who choose which song the contestants should sing, as has been affirmed on Saturday by Vishal, in case of Raja, and before that by Himesh in case of Musarrat, in the presence of Asha Bhosle. Suddenly you see a sleepy Amanat jumping up and down with lots of energy, while Poonam is left with a sore throat. Add to that Ismail Darbar had the audacity to say that when she was supposed to hit a sixer, she is getting clean bowled. It become quite apparent that ID is hand in glove with HR in having Aneek as the winner, because Amanat will never be able to beat Aneek, it is only Poonam who can knock Aneek off. Remember that SRGMP 2005 had Debojit as the winner, and he belonged to the ID gharana. May ID wants to repay HR this time.

  As for those who are saying that Aneek had been praised in the Bangla SRGMP by all the gurus, please note that he was singing in Bengali, and not in hindi, also note that in unlike bengali, while you are singing hindi movie songs, you also need to be clear with your urdu pronunciation, which Aneek lacks very badly. Also Aneek has consistently faltered at higher notes. He might have done better had he sung bengali songs. While Poonam is from Lucknow the city, whose people are endowed with greater grasp of both Hindi as well as Urdu.

  Aneek is already a winner in Bangla event, Amanat has been a winner in Dubai, and it won’t make much of a difference to them if they could not succeed here, but it all matters more than anything for Poonam especially, and Raja too. For Poonam this is the do or die situation, because, if the world fails to notice and appreciate her talent, she will be condemned to once again live the life of misery, and oblivion. Raja too deserve to the finalist. If he cannot be a winner, at least a runner up position will also suffice.

  We already have a Sonu Nigam, and he is young and going strong, but we do need someone in place of our greats Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle, so please all the music lovers, set aside your prejudice, and for the sake of music please get Poonam all the votes and support, to ensure that she is not led to believe that there is no point in being optimist, to prove that people can dream, people can have high expectations, and with determination and effort anyone can succeed. She is the prime example of hope and determination for a lot of hopless and under priviledged individuals in our great country. May the Almight help Poonam realise her dreams. I also call upon Vishal Shekhar, and other big wigs in Bollywood to come forward and recognise the true talent.

  here is a news flash to everyone on this forum!

  There are people who love aneek, amanat, poonam, and raja.. They all have their own very good reasons for loving them, there was something about the performers that drew them in..and they have made up their minds

  SCREAMING AND SHOUTING ( in all CAPS) about your favorite is NOT going to change OTHER people’s mind about your favorite, if THEY have another person who is their OWN favorite.They are NOT suddenly going to start loving your favorite..At this stage of the game, there is no right or wrong answer, NO universal truth, no sham arguments.

  Siyasatdaano ko to apni siyasi chaalo se hi fursat nahin hai; lekin siyasi taakat se bhi badi ek taakat hai – Insaaniyat, aur yeh usi ka asar hai ki mujhe 60 saal pahle bichhude apne bhaiyon se phir baat karne ka mauka mila hai.

  I remember that a few years back, a cricket show match was held between Indian and Pakistan at Amritsar, and Pakistan people were allowed to freely come to Amritsar to witness the match. When the visitors from Pakistan were asked as to what do they feel about the match, their reply was – ” This match is like any other match for us. Actually we have not come to witness the match; we have come to just see the place to which our fore fathers belonged and to meet Indian people. This is a good opportunity for us”.

  So you see, the common man in both the countries has nothing to do with the diplomatic relationship existing between the two.

  Ok I will try to find that out for you. Looks like you are going to arrange a big one in USA. I am glad that You liked the Poetry. After Faiz Ahmad Faiz , Ahmad faraz is the living legend. You will be surprised to know that he is a pathan like myself and how well he writes in urdu which is not his mother tongue.**Smiles**
  I think it’s the unawareness and nonparticipation into policts of people from both sides which allows politicians to create a negative environment on both sides. It’s a big responsibility of the people on both sides that they let their positive input know to leadership on both sides. Only we can help shape change.

  Thank you for such a nice poetry. What do you want for it? I will give you.

  @Basumatika,
  You know that who I will vote for… I have my best wishes with that person.

  Like Mussarat’s ‘Sajana re’ and ‘Saanware’, Sumedha’s ‘Tere bina jiya jaaye na’, ‘Chupke se’ and ‘Jaadu hai nasha hai’ also can not be topped.

  @sumitro-
  “It’s a pity while Mussarat was appreciated by everybody, Sumedha went out without any apparent acknowledgment (in this forum)”".

  I agree with you on that. Sumedha sang very good songs. He did earn my respect.

  It is true that Sumedha has largely remained unsung. She is a truly gifted singer, she knows that type songs she needs to sing, and sings accordingly, and brilliantly. I also liked her bahon ke darmiyan, Jadu hai Nasha hai, Ao Huzoor tumko, and really enjoyed it. Mind you I am a Poonam Yadav fan, but for me Sumedha too is someone to chear for and her songs to listen to. Best of luck to her.

  Guys, I agree with your point that we are trying to stir a tempest in a teapot about the whole Himeshism and hatred issue. In the same breath, I am sure you guys would agree that there is not one singer in this competition who is perfect (everyone has some grey area). Point is everyone should get a fair representation/backing if at all. I can bet that most of the people have joined the hatred club purely because of a certain guy who is using ‘unfair’ means to influence the outcome of this competition. To the people who think ID is neutral, guys in my book, he is hand in glove with HR. I sometime feel like they are in the same garana. The long and short of it is – LET THE BEST PERSON WIN. Trust me guys, if Raja is eliminated in the next round I for one will be hurt coz i feel, he in noway a lesser singer than Aneek. So if Aneek can reach the final (which is almost certain, mainly because of the support of two-in-one mentors) Raja who has given memorable performances and guys like Musarrat should have been there as well.
  This competition will be over, this blog will be lose its visitors and familiar names will be lost in times, but a toast to the members who made this blog so successful by their thoughts. A few lines to frends countrymen and blogmates…….
  Kathin hai raah guzar thoree duur saath chalo
  Bahut baraa hai safar thoree door saath chaalo
  Ye ek shab ki mulaaqaat bhi ganeemat hai
  Kisey hai kal ki Khabar thoree door saath chalo
  Abhii to jaag rahe hein chiraag raahoon ke

  Abhi hai door sahar thoree door saath chalo

  Cheers! Jose@uk

  One unusual thing that i have noticed in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa is the irrevelant hype of poonam being done by all of the mentors. With due respect to the mentors i am saying that there are many such singers who are striving to get food and recognition and who are in a much more deplorable condition than she used to be in. The mentors have been succesful in alleviating the sorrow which used to be a part of her life, and we should be grateful to them for taking part in such a noble act. I cannot even deny that she is a good singer,no doubt she sings quite well and definitely she deserves a position in the best four. But i think that the mentors have become too much munificent towards her. Being myself trained in Indian Classical Music, i personally hold the opinion that she should get eliminated from the competition just in the next round as she is no match for raja, leave alone aneek and amanat.

  Hi All,

  This is my fist comment here.

  According to my sources, Poonam is out. Aneek was no 1, followed by Raja and then Amanat. Poonam came last and hence she is the one who got out

  @Sharukh,
  I think, this is not you, but your biased behaviour, that has made you write all this to me. And you call me biased !

  OK, I do not have any training in music and have not attended any music class in my life, and for that reason, I am not thourough with all that knowledge of Sur and tal. But I am not a dumbo and at least have a mind that can judge people.

  This is purely a question of choice. Sometimes, a beggar with all torn clothes, just sitting on a footpath and singing to earn his livelihood can appeal more to your music senses, than a singer with expensive costume, backed with a lavishly decorated stage.

  Do you yourself know what pure music is like ? Have you ever heard of Begum Akhtar, Pt. Jasraj, Kumar Gandharva and Pt. Bhimsen Joshi ? Do you know anything about Ustad Amanat Ali, Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali khan and Ustad Vilayat Khan Saheb ? How can you? You just rate a person with the scores he has earned, which actually have been begged from the public in the name of some fake love story. This is your limit in music and you can not be better than that.

  Go and do some research in music and than come for the “Shastrarth”.

  I just want to say these two lines, which suits you perfectly:

  “Jo pahunch chuke hain manzil par,
  unko to nahin kuchh naaze-safar,

  Do chaar kadam jo chale nahin,
  raftaar ki batein karte hain.”

  Hello all,

  I accept that poonam did not do so well on sunday…but her performance on saturday was excellent..(should compensate for the weak performance). I atleast do not go by her one bad performance. To me she is already a winner since she has given consistently good performance…I will buy her CD anytime. In the male singers, ofcourse, anytime it is Amanat…This is how I feel..

  Hello everybody,

  Music is an art bestowed on the human kind by the Creator and very few are in tune to that divine note. Not everyone can take part in creating music but most certainly, everyone is capable of discerning inbetween good music and noise. So, personally i feel that the mentors of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa also have the sense of music. That’s why i think we should stop critisizing about the mentors and start focusing on the participants of the competition.Hence all of us should vote in an unbiased manner. tapati………………..

  Hello everyone,
  I just thought of expressing my views here.
  As sweety says Himesh is acting sick day by day, he is trying to play a smart game by praising contestants in a way that brings them down.
  It might be Raja or Poonam or Mauli he always tried to divert their concentration and he is being successfull.
  Among all the Mentors Himesh is the worst mentor i can see, he has no knowledge of wat he is saying, he doesnt know ABC of music, he keeps saying Aunik works hard, every contestant works hard to reach his or her goal wats so special in Aunik’s hard work.
  In my view point Aunik should not be the Winner as he got an entry directly to Agnipariksha without much competition where as other contestants have struggeled to come to this stage, Raja who was eliminated at so many stages has struggeled so much to come to the position where he is today, its not fair on SARE GAMA’s part to have cases of including people directly in final rounds or not eliminating people in some rounds ( One episode where all 3 of Pak contestants were in danger). If Himesh is a true pojari of GODESS SARASWATI which he keeps saying, he shud stop criticizing people and ask public to vote people who deserve to win. Raja and Poonam have talent and hence they are getting votes not bcos of sympathy.
  Public should concentrate on singers on stage not on mentors comments. Listen to your heart not to ur Favourite Mentors.

  @Sushma

  If you’ve got anything against Himesh, then keep it upto that, why are you bringing aneek into the scene. I also agree with you that Himesh supports aneek a lot, but can you say even once that aneek does not deserve that support ? He is truly worthy of becoming a winner in this competition. And your point about aneek getting into this competition without getting to face much of the competition is quite baseless as he had been declared the winner of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa – Bengali beforehand and that had become his ticket for entering into Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Vishyayudh. So you can’t say that he did not get to face much competition. You have stated ” Raja and Poonam have talent and hence they are getting votes not bcos of sympathy. ” What do you mean by this ? Do you hold the view that aneek is getting votes only because the people are sympathetic about him ? Don’t you think the reason behind his getting votes is his fantabulous style of singing ?
  And i appreciate that you have asked the public to listen to their hearts and not to the mentors, as you see, that if the public does so then i can assure you that aneek is going to be the champ.

  Tapati

  @avinash one unusal thing i am noticing is the irrevelant hype in poonam”s personal life.For all the member’s ofHIMESH BESHARMIA’S haters club one of you had commented that”If alie is told to the peopleagain and again in a very flowery manner then they are tend to believe it”Yes it is true.But how we have come to know about her?………It was HR.Was it a lie?poonam and raja ………why not amanat?Being my self trained in indian classical music and a direct family member of a world renowned Tabla maestro i feel that all of you have no sense in music’totally biased’speaks illogical.I again repeat that PLS if you got any thing against HR ‘ID and so and so keep it up to that.what do you think avinash Raja’Amanat andAneek are getting votes ’cause people are sympathetic about them?My God” then what are you asking for?You have stated “My hatered towards HRhas increased”Hey do you hold the view that HR is responsible for POONAM’s sufferings or for her adopting a child? I think it is ’cause of you all poonam is out.By the way no one can manupulate votes otherwise Hr could have done it in case of Mussarat’cause as a Kawal or as aSufi singer he was the best…..then why Raja?Then i would rather say that it was ’cause Shekhar’s female fan’s.Actually i did not mean it.SO PLS CLOSE YOUR EYES AND JAM WITH THE SONGS>>>>>>>>>>LET THE BEST WIN MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF THEMOne thing poonam is already being highlighted.Now it’s her turn.MAY GOD BLESS HER.

  Himesh loud-mouth kept on raving about nonsense again! Raja sang his first song superbly, don’t know where Himesh’s ears are. Even when Aneek was so super in both his songs, Mr. Insecure was rambling on and on about his meaningless talk. Kareena was nice, very humble and little hubub. I loved Aneek’s songs most.

  After a long, an impartial, justified voice raised up.It is true that HR has a loud mouth but can we blame aneek for this? SO it is my request….all of us should concentrate upon the songs what they sing and not to the mentors. LuV’

  Well, what a drastic change. Last week’s posts were all defaming Aneek, saying that he should be out because he plays along with HR’s antics. This week we find the total opposite; everyone is saying not to blame Aneek for his mentor’s behavior. I find this a bit ironic, to be honest. Its not that I disagree; yes, indeed, Aneek is a high-quality singer and HR is the only one to blame for the blabbering. I’m just curious as to where all these Aneek supporters were last week when everyone was bashing him.

  I love, LOVE what Vishal said to HR after Aneek sang; HR reported that Raja was good, but it wasn’t one of his best performances. And what did Vishal do? Shot it right back at him and told him that Aneek sang well, but it wasn’t his best performance either! It takes a lot of guts to do something of that caliber, and instantly I have regained lots of respect for Vishal. Hats off to him for giving HR a much-needed slap in the face.

  Poor Shekhar was ill, I believe. Hope he feels better soon. (Funny how all the Shekhar fangirls have stayed remarkably silent about that ). If only HR was sick and HE left for a few weeks. That would result in a huge party by all SRGMP viewers across the globe.
  (While I was watching this episode with my family, my father turned on the ‘MUTE’ button every time HR opened his trap.)

  HR is clearly insecure (as the very wise people before me have already shrewdly pointed out). He fears Raja the most, due to his initial popularity and the enormous amount of support of Vishal and Shekhar, the REAL ‘gurus’ on the show. He is insecure about Poonam, and rattles on about her family life to prevent people from voting for her (what a disgusting, manipulative git that HR is.) And he is even insecure about Amanat! How? The proof is in this very episode!
  Remember in Amanat’s performance, Vishal (so graciously, even to someone other than his own contestant) said that if Kareena wanted to dance to his ‘You are my Soniya’ she could (and she did). And what exactly did HR do? He TOLD them to replay Aneek’s track so he could sing it AGAIN and he TOLD Kareena that she should go up on the stage with him. If that wasn’t enough, when Aditya went up onto the stage to join them, you can clearly see HR pulling (JERKING) him back!! I don’t know about you, but such crap really makes my blood boil.

  As for their performances:

  Amanat: his first song was very good, I really loved it. Amanat is clearly a singer who can sing a variety of songs, from fast paced to solemn to love songs to patriotic. His second song was good; but it wasn’t spectacular. He could have sung it a lot better I feel. But you have to admit; he radiates some kind of charisma…doesn’t he?

  Poonam: Poor girl was ill, so naturally she didn’t sing very well. Her second song was a poor selection I feel; even if she wasn’t ill, I don’t think she would have sung it all that well because her voice isn’t suited for the song (Sumedha’s voice is, however, as somebody already mentioned above). I certainly hope she isn’t penalized and doesn’t get out…

  Wait: someone above posted that Poonam is out; is that confirmed?!?

  Raja: He sang solid performances, I think. Nothing horrendous, but nothing mind-blowing either. Vishal said that ‘Raja is back’ but I don’t think he’s back in ‘full throttle’ yet. Perhaps nervousness is what is making him more subdued, but I can’t help but miss the old “Vande Mataram” spirit he displayed when he sang that song in the Patriotic episode.

  Aneek: He did so very well today, especially the last song which is one of my favorite songs. I would think so much more highly of him if HR wasn’t hyping him so much. HR is making people hate him as well as Aneek by showing a clear lack of modesty and decency. He is also displaying lack of a central nervous system (read: his brains have gone missing).

  In short; HR is an imbecile.
