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.

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.

n ppl plz vote for her..
iknoe oders r gud singers too but wat poonam sings oder’s can’t sing

ohk consider da case when it was MARRIAGE THEME..
poonam was given a silly song…y couldnt dat song hve been sung by sumedha n poonam wud hve sung “BOLE CHUDIYAAN” ( dey had 2 include wat poonam sung coz datz a part of marrige celebrations)….coz sumedha wud nt hve been able 2 manage…while we knoe poonam can manage all sorts of songs

poonam has no style or sumthng of her own…she is truely a playbak singer who can sing all types of songs..
PLZ VOTE 4 POONAM.

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………………..

Please vote for Poonam. She strives hard to give best performance. She should not be voted out this week.
