Review of 8th September Episode of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007

Written on September 8, 2007 – 2:07 pm | by admin |

Hey Friends

Yesterday we saw the elimination of Mauli and along with it Bappida said he is quitting the show as Mauli is no more in the contest.. So, lets see whats in the sets today and what all drama take place with Bappida

The same scene where Bappida says that he is quitting is shown again.. he says you are a born star.. I will not come here next time.. I dont understand why Mauli is eliminated.. If Mauli is not there, the TRP will reduce.. I quit.. Bappida leave the stage.. Mauli says sumi needs you.. Bappida says – “That is always there, but I quit..”

Aditya announces that Bappida has come back after everyone persuaded and requested him.. He says that Mauli had gone to his house and requested him to return back.. So, Bappida is back.. He enters along with Mauli..

Bappida gives a speech for this.. He says – I didnt understand the SMS, I dont know why Mauli was voted out and was upset with it and so I quit the show.. But Mauli came to my house and pleaded to stay back.. So, I am back.. Mauli too wants to say something to you all..

Mauli – Bappida did not like my elimination, but as Sumi, Sumedha is there and shes is like my sister, I want bappida to be here.. She will sing well and I have full confidence on her and so to support her Bappida is here..

Bappida – My younger brothers (Other Mentors) are here and want to say that I love you all, I did not like the elimination and that is the reason I did not want to stay back..

Himesh – we will not allow you to go even if you want to..

Bappida thanks Himesh for that.. Please I request viewers to see and vote, not only in this gharana, but in any gharana.. Bappida says – I have given her the name “Indian Shakira” and I will do whatever possible by me.. Aditya announces that Mauli has got a singing contract from Pritham.. Bappida says, I have recorded a song for everyone.. May everyone invite you for recording..

SRGMP has released an album with all the contestants.. That video is shown.. They sing a song where they say – Pparticipants from various states have come to become one gharana.. There are totally 9 contestants, the top 9..

Aditya announces that From 5 countries many contestants came and now only 6 contestants are there.. He asks the mentors to give their view on the videos..

Bappida – very nice video.. All the gharana contestants sang well..
VS – Especially when Raja was standing with the Indian flag and everyone where standing at the back of him.. that part was nice.. the true spirit was shown..
Shekhar – the voice quality of everyone while recording was too good..
Himesh – the emotions of all the contestants was shown.. We
want to thank audience and the TRP is highest.. we are not boasting.. but want to thank the audience..
ID – After a long time we could see all the contestants.. Full 10 for all.. this video wil be purchased by all..

The contestants will be singing the favorite actor/actress song..

Himesh – he is the big romantic hero.. you will see his romance, talent and dedication in this song.. you will feel happy to to listen to his words, emotions in this song.. it will be a great performance..

Aneek requests Aditya to stay in the stage.. Asditya acknowledges that and says his fav actor is also SRK, so he will surely stay..

He sings Kal ho na ho title song..

Bappida – 8
Himesh this song you sang verywell.. When you sang, we all got into a particular mood.. you sang with good feeling and that is what is needed..

Mussarat Abbas:

They show a AV.. He is practicing the song tanhaiyaan with his harmonium.. Someone is shouting – “aur upar se gao”.. so, he climbs the wall and sits and there and practice.. Again that voice comes out.. He again climbs on roof and then goes to the terrace and goes on climbing as the voice comes out and at one point he asks, “how much to climb more? I better commit suicide”.. then dramendra voice comes out saying you need to sing the song of my son, so dont commit suicide.. But actually its the voice of Raja, who is shouting having a bottle in hand..

He sings Koi jaane, koi na jaane from aur pyaar ho gaya..

Aditya speaks in Dharmendra style and says – “i want to see roti in your house” on behalf of all the viewers..

Bappida – He speaks in Bengali.. asks everyone to encourage and vote for him..
Himesh – You reduce the vote for any, but dont cut the votes for her as Bappida should not leave..

Hit It Squad:

Raja Hasan:

Raja, Aneek and Mussarat are standing in front of a van.. Raja asks, who is the one to take my song that I always want to sing.. Aneek says – its Mussarat not him.. He then asks, who is the one to eat roti, biriyani.. Aneek says its Mussarat and not him.. He then catches Mussarat and Mussarat says, why do you want to put the blame on me.. I have come to spread peace and we all are here to eat together and not fight.. and says, he will leave now itself.. Aneek says – “Stop the pardesi”.. Raja is going behind Mussara shouting – “pardesi jaana hain”.. It was all done to create drama and fun..

Raja sings Pardesi Pardesi jaana nahin from Raja Hindustani..

Comments:

Himesh – I feel this style does not suite you.. You are a good singer, but I request public to vote for him.. Your sur went and you were not in form for this song.. Do you agree for this?? Raja says, I dont know.. I was only concentrating on the performance.. Himesh says- “Dont deny that.. You surely know as you are the best singer and so you would have realised that you have made the mistake.. Its wrong of you saying that you have not realized”.. I am sorry if I have hurt you.. give 7

Bappida- Mauli has been out because of over confidence of choosing wrong song.. “Sur nahin laga”.. choose the best song that would suite you.. Just May be that Raja Raja was not the best toda.. 7

ID – You should not deviate from the style.. When a person deviates from one style they dont perform well.. gives 7.. You may get out because of some mistakes.. Try not to repeat it..

Vishal – Today’s performance was not the best.. You did not sing it with feeling.. The magic that you brought when you were out and then came in was missing.. Give the best by thinking that you are a perfect entertainer and move away from the stage, return backn focus on the song and give your best..

Shekhar – every artist has a good and bad day.. no one will forget your best performances.. I am sure you will get votes..

Himesh – Raja should reach the final and that is in your hands.. So, please vote for him..

Yalgaar Gharana:

Poonam Yadav:

Her faovrite actress is Aishwarya Rai.. Aishwarya Rai is so beautiful and I adore her eyes.. There is only one Moon and many stars.. A small AV is shown where she is having a Diya and says like Aishwarya Rai who had kept this Diya lighting for SRK, I will also keep it lightened until the end of this contest.. Sumedha enters and says – “Good that she will be pouring oil for the dia and I will keep practicing.. Poonam says – “Pepople dont call me power house just like that.. I have arranged for this diya also.. it lights with help of power and not oil..”

She sings Ni main samajh gayi from Taal.. Amanat gives the male voice..

Comments:

Ismailji goes on stage.. Praises her..

Himesh – audience shout 10.. He says, 10 is for sure but would also want to add something more – Poonam means – true daughter of a good mother.. Girls will take inspiration from you and learn that dreams can get fulfilled.. You should also help those who take inspiration from you.. Everyone should vote for you..

Shekhar – This is the best performance of yours.. When a video of all best performances are made, yours will be featured.. Gives 10 but says, we will give you 100 for this performance..

Bappida – you sang with different josh.. It was really good.. gives 10
ID – God has always supported me esp in terms of music.. I thank public for not breaking my small family..

Amanat Ali:

Amanat is having guitar, wearing cap and has tied a sweater around his waist.. Aditya asks him to describe about this get up and says – Amanat’s and aneek’s choices are same.. They both like SRK and also like that girl..

A small AV is shown where Aneek is lying on the bed and saying that he is going to die and Amanat says – “I want a promise from you that you will die before this contest ends and so I win and also gets that girl for me..” Aneek gets up and starts fighting with Amanat saying he was just acting and wanted to make you emotional so that you go away from my way.. But you cheated me and my friendship.. they both fight in mean while, Poonam and Sumedha peep from the door and give a naughty smile..

Himesh and Ismail takes the love story again.. Ismail asks how come you and Aneek have the similar choices.. You both like same actor, same girl.. How is it possible? Himesh says these kids who have come this time are very naughty and they take us mentors into the pocket and move away.. Amanat is trying to say something, but Himesh says – “just sing and dont talk”.. Dont lie in front of the public.. He says something like public “Joote marenge”.. Amanat says I want to tell only the truth, but he is not allowed to by Himesh and asks him to sing..

Amanat says Just like Aneek likes SRK, I too like him and am Happy that I will be singing his song today..

He sings koi mil gaya from Kuch kuch hota hain

Comments:

The audience shout once more.. Aditya asks them to play hte track.. Amanat sings again.. Raja plays the guitar.. Aditya, sumedha and Poonam join him.. ID, Himesh come on stage.. Later joins Shekhar and Bappida.. Then Shekhar also goes missing

while Amanat was performing, Himesh asks Aditya to move between Amanat and the girls and ask Amanat to go near to Sumedha.. Sumedha runs and stands beside Poonam..

After his performance Himesh again starts this drama.. He says Aneek is missing here because of you.. You have stolen the show today and even Bappida is in favor of you today.. Ismail says, lets make the relationship today.. Himesh says, “you both come and sit here”, lets do it.. By then Aneek also enters and Himesh says “You dont know what all happened in your absence.. Your brother stole the show, he has also taken the girl from you.. You are born to sacrifice”.. Even the father in law has taken his side today and left you behind.. Asks the audience to give him support because he is so cute and it will be injustice to take the support away from him.. Bappida – Amanat sang very well today.. Its because of guru and love.. Bappida sings chahiye thoda pyaar..

    Did anyone notice the frustration in Bhappi Da’s behaviour in last night’s episode, when he was asked to comment on the performance of the contestants and give them marks. He had to make so much of efforts in giving his comments and when it came to giving marks, he would say “chalo aapko itne marks de diye” , as if daan kar diye. I think he is not out of the Mauli shock yet and though has come back in the show again, but has decided to become a miser as far as the marks are concerned. I hope he grows up and behave in a more mature way.

      himes and ismile are very happy because mauli is out now but its not fair.bappi da is right the trp will reduse now witout mauli show is nothing.but is not mauli”s fault bappi da has not any stretegy to save their contestens like himes and ismile.himesh pehle se hi audiance ko excuses dete he or aneek ki jhooti love story suna kar uski pubicity badha rahe he sath hi ismile ye sabit kar chuke he ki poona is bilongint to very poor family.but bappi da has not ant stratigy.himesh other gharanas ke contestent ko bad comment karne se nahi chookte balki jab mussarat ganda gate he to excuses pehle hi de dete he.its not fair sabse pehle himesh ke gharane ko hi out hona chahiye

        yeahhhhhhhhhhhh… i m so happy watching sa re ga ma pa, cause mauli is not their.. i would definately want amanath to win the whole contest. because he has proved himself by singing any kind of songs. .. his voice perfectly matches any actor for that matter.. say its classic, semi classic, romantic, sad, comedy.. he was best in everything.. unlike others he doesn have to fit in only one category of singing.
        I truely respect poonam.. she has a very powerful voice.. as well as mussarath..

        BUT guys i truly believe amanath is the only versatile singer among all..

          OMG i almost had a heart attack watching the re emergence of mauli mata towering over cross dressing she-male bappida at the the begining of the program..

          too bad bappi is back, but we all knew that was gonna happen right Zee?( wink wink nudge nudge)

          yesterdays show – def poonam and mussarat were the best..if you take into account the caliber /level of difficulty of songs they sang

          amanat was good but the song he chose was pretty easy to sing

          same with aneek- topiwala bandar gave him ANOTHER highly popular song to sing.. too bad the kid flubbed a little..

          raja – wassup here.. i mean sure he messed up a little in the middle but it wasnt horrible i didnt think

          barbie doll sang another easy song..inflated 10′s again.. these 5 idiots are on crack or something.. sumedha and poonam both got 10′s and look at the difficulty of the songs they sang

          and yes bandar needs to stop with the love isshtory already for chela # 1.. they are sickening , both guru and chela..

          those skits to introduce the songs .. sheesh what the hell were they thinking.. more UNFUNNY retarded peice of stupidity i havent seen in a while..

            @ Sid
            I have to differ with you about Raja. He’s not the best singer, but he does have his own style and that’s what i think is going to get him far in the music industry.
            But i do agree that he’s been over-hyped from the start. his songs were not the best, but they were definately better than the ones Aneek was attempting.
            @ Rekha
            I agree that Raja is more suited to Sukhwinder songs, but then again so was Harpreet and look at what happened to him.

            Personally, i think Raja should stick to softer songs because his voice is pretty strong and the more he tries to stretch his voice, the more it cracks.

              Lets find a way to get rid ot these pests called.

              Himesh — the Topiwala Bandar
              Anneek — his chela , Bandars puch (monkeys tail)

              • At 2007.09.09 09:51, Soumya said:

                Ideas to get rid of them:
                1. make them watch AGG which would force them to kill them selfs.
                2. burn all the topi’s in the world so that he(himesh) never ever turn up to the show any way for that matter.
                3. vote aneek out so that HR realise he is a fool…

                have u guys ever noticed,,, when he blabbers he himself doesn know what is he speaking… he gets stuck and out of words that he end up making a statement which is senseless(no head or tail)….

                  you are so right abt HR making senseless statements.

                    @Soumya, @Sam and @anonymous,

                    I think, the only way to get rid of the Guru and Chela, who everyone has become sick of, is to vote out Aneek, by voting, of course for Musarrat and for other contestants. Vote out Aneek and you will all be the witness to another drama from a frustrated Guru, which will be more interesting than the drama staged by Bhappi Da, after Mauli’s eviction.

                      What is all this drama? People, pls stop voting for this programme entirely – they are mocking the participation of the public. Its a big waste of time. Music has taken the last seat. It should be called Drama Challenge 2007.

                        Raja wasn’t bad at all. What was all the fuss about by HR? He was just trying to protect Aneek which was totally unfair. Annek got 8-8-10. Raja got 7-7-8. Not too far off. So, what’s the big deal? My votes for Raja, anyday, everyday.

                          @anon and sriram,

                          I am amazed that you consider soft melodious romantic songs very easy to sing.
                          Or, I shouldn’t be as those who aren’t into singing themselves can’t realize that these songs demand expressions that come only from the deepest of heart and soul and not at all easy.

                          The modern classical exponents themselves now don’t dismiss non-classical melody-based songs as inferior and easy(coming out of their age-old arrogance).

                          @sam, soumya and sweety,

                          What drives you guys mad to hate Aneek (a gem of a singer) just for the sake of it?
                          Himesh may be a little eccentic, but, what can Aneek do about it?

                          Hating and abusing personally an upcoming talent is deplorable and different from disliking for musical reasons.

                            hi sumitro

                            it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure that singing “man tarpat hari darshan do aaj” or “radhike tune” or “jhanak jhank tori baje payalia” take more musical ability than “kal ho na ho” or “aisa pehli baar hua hai” or “its the time to disco” or other such modern “classics”

                            i mean that should be pretty obvious

                            Light halke phulke songs can be pleasant to hear and yes you need emotions to sing them well .But please dont expect me to believe that they are as difficult to sing as the others i have mentioned.

                            I highly doubt any such contemprory songs will be rememebered 20 years down the road, unlike the “real” classic i mentioned which survive ( and will continue to survive) forever

                              Bash BLahiri and not HR..i mean i respect all your opinions bout HR but in my opinion, it’s wrong to think that he wants Mussarat to be out..he has always wanted mussarat to remain in the competition and for this matter..the whole “roti” commotion began once..for the sake of mussarat. HR may say that he fears mussarat will be out..but he only does it becuz the results are sometimes shocking..good singers get the least votes..so its really something beyond predicting..HR KNOWS mussarat is a great singer, he always praises him, goes onto the stage for him, says he is PROUD to have him as a shishya in his gharana..and once when mussarat forgot the words to the song.. “tere bin sanu soniya” HR made mussarat sing it again acapella..and requested the janata to vote for him. yes i admit.. its WRONG to degrade mussarat like that..and HR is totally into aneek..he is an idiot for favoring.. but then again.. isn’t he an idiot to make mauli sing mayya mayya in front of that gay anand guy and confirm her success while killing the chances of his own gharana’s contestant?? In my opinion..himesh does not want mussarat to be out.. he just has bad approaches to emphasize mussarat is indeed great and must stay in the show. And to comment on whats been said above.. classical singing is indeed harder than just soft romantic singing.. but i guess the simplicity and ease that is needed to sing soft halke songs derive from knowledge and training of classical.

                              alright so what’s happening with the clown BL.. why is he not out of the show?? honeslty.. he is the biggest loser there.. just because mauli is out.. he wanted to quit? i don’t rmr V-S ever saying they wil quit because harpreet got out.. and he was far better than mauli… she’s been staying there at the cost of many great singers.. what is so shocking about mauli being eliminated.. who the hell did he expect to be eliminated then? my god.. it was bout time mauli left.. BL’s foolish acts clearly depict how unprofessional he is.. not to mention how clueless he is.. enough to make a comparison of mauli and shakira.. my god.. anyway good for him..he is back.. cant believe he gave crap marks to mussarat and said.. “u TRIED” like wtf.. anyway i hope he doesn’t pull any more gay drama.. aneekk..u better continue to sing well.. ur under favoritism and a lotta pressure!! mussaratt..ur singing amazes me each week!! .. amanat.. wow i loved ur singing from day 1.. the rest..you are still good singers..

                              anyway.. i hope whatever happens happens for the best. i jus hope this show doesn’t do injustice to good singers who can actually sing.

                                Dear anon,

                                I have seen or rather listened to many pundits & ustads (I admire and respect them no less than you do) having a go at these so called ‘halke phulke’ songs and making a mess of them.

                                Though these ‘halke phulke’ songs need less vocal skills they do require something that comes straight from the heart.

                                I have heard many contestants in various talent shows who do a good job in ‘ustadi’ songs but flop pathetically in light songs.

                                Only very few legendary geniuses like Lata, Asha, Rafi, Manna De are masters of both forms.

                                I am not a dabbler in music, in terms of appreciation I am deeply into raaga music but not enough snobbish to discard great heart-touching music of SD Burman, Madan Mohan, Shankar-Jaikishan, RD Burman, Ravindra Jain, Hridaynath Mangeshkar and in recent times Nadeem-Shravan, Jatin-Lalit, AR Rahman, Shankar-Ahsan-Loy (and many others) those are not raaga-based or sufi as inferior or easy.

                                Think of Jatin-Lalit songs, soothing RD Burman songs of ’1942..’, ‘Ghar’ etc.; they are easy to listen to but take special skills and musical gift to render them.

                                Coming back to SRGMP, I bet Poonam can’t sing 50% of Sumedha if she tries songs like ‘Jaadu hai nasha hai’ or ‘Tere bina jiya jaaye na’.

                                So, it’s pretty simplistic to categorize musical genres in terms of difficulties.

                                ‘Man tadpat’ takes me to another world but doesn’t ‘Kuch na kaho’ move you?

                                I have only discussed the points at which we are in conflict, otherwise I agree with you in many ways.

                                PS: How on did you think in soft melodious songs I included songs like “Aisa pahli baar hua hai’ or ‘It’s the time to disco’?!

                                  I agree with u.Amanat was very good but he chose a simple song which is very popular.where as Poonam’s song is definately very difficult & she carried it so well.Cudos to her!
                                  I surely want poonam to win.
                                  i love mussarat but we know,he can sing only Nusarat & he is master in that.Jelous bhappi gave him 7 so stupidmso childish,as if he was trying to take the revenge of Maulimata’s departure!
                                  i think musarat should go for concerts & hope he comes to US & i will be the first to buy the ticket for that.Dor SRGMP,he can’t survive only on nusarat.poonam is the only complete versatile singer!
                                  pls vote for her.
                                  For HR i have no words of hate left! i don’t even want to wear a cap in summer here,i rather go with my bandana!

                                    I agree with you on HR completely.
                                    Thanks, you saved my time.
                                    Otherwise, I was considering explaining it to the paranoid Mussarat fans.

                                    For all my admiration and respect for classical greats like Bhimsen Joshi Padit Yashraj, can they sing Kishore Kumar songs as well as he did?

                                    I think they themselves would agree with me.

                                      although my yardstick for singers in a competition is how well they do in terms of classical basis, i am by no means a classical music snob.. i own practically every songs ever sung by the greats( kishore/rafi/lata/asha).and almost all of the albums of shankar jaikishen, laxmi pyare, op nayyar, madan mohan, naushad… i am NOT discounting the amazing power of those songs

                                      I also happen to love a lot of recent songs( nadeem shravan, jatin lalit, ismail darbar , vishal bharadwaj) heck i even like some songs of pliagriser # 1( pritam) and i USED to like HR( before he decided to torture us with his voice) albums like tere naam and dil be jise apna kaha are good albums no doubt

                                      So while I do def appreciate the lighter music, in someone who is competing in a contest , i wld like them to have a solid grounding in the classical basis..

                                      its akin to someone composing a poem in english without knowing the grammer

                                      also, i dont think the nice contemprory soft songs from the last decade will stand the test of time..

                                      say in 50 years, will we be calling “jaadu hai nasha hai ” a classic or even then we will go back to the era of the giants of the 50′s and 60′s

                                      something to ponder

                                      re suemdha and poonam,,, am not sure what u say is true..poonam can sing sumedha’s songs, but no way can sumedha even think of attempting poonam’s songs

                                        hi platnum and sumitro

                                        i think HR’s attitude towards Mussarat has changed since aneek became his blue eyed boy

                                        it is not a figment of imagination of mussarats fan base

                                        His praise of mussarat is begrudging, like since the other gurus are going ga ga over mussarat , he might as well do his duty.. Uske emotions mujhe fraud lagte hain – dil se nahin

                                        last week, mussarat sang awesome, and while the poor guy is still on stage after the perfomance, this idiot (HR) starts praising aneek… kuch had hoti hai besharmi ki, isne saari had-e paar kar leen hain

                                        then he is always speculating that mussarat is going to be eliminated, its almost like a self fulfilling prophecy for him

                                        so NO my friend, altho HR started off supporting Mussarat, isnt the case anymore..

                                        it will take an act of God for mussarat to survive past a couple more weeks

                                        anyone know any super NFAK songs he cld sing

                                            Dear anon,

                                            I have not raised points I think I’ll be in agreement with you.
                                            And, one of those is Poonam is much ahead of Sumedha when a song demands a powerful voice.
                                            So, I am not saying that Sumedha is better than Poonam.
                                            Also, not saying Poonam is better than Sumedha.
                                            They aren’t comparable, as Aneek and Mussarat.
                                            And, mistakenly my list in the previous post to you left out one of my favourite composers OP Nayyar.

                                            PS: How on earth did you think in soft melodious songs I included songs like “Aisa pahli baar hua hai’ or ‘It’s the time to disco’?!

                                              @Sumitro, I completely agree with you on this one. As I was also mentioning in the 7th sep review that Classical base is not a requirement for a good singer and this has been proven by many singers in the past and today’s days. Then why are we so keen on judging them saying they are good because they have a classical background or they are not good enough because they don’t have one?

                                              As you rightly said classical songs have it’s own genre in bollywood but so does gazals, soft romantic songs, bhajans, comedy songs, club songs and other different kind. Who are we to comment on which is easy to sing and which is not? Is any one of us actually singing on the platform?

                                              And as far as music is good, it doesn’t matter what genre it belongs to as it touches you. For me Kuch na kaho from 1942 is as touching as madhuban me or laga chunari me daag. It’s just that they appeal to different moods of mine at different times but that doesn’t mean one is easier and the other one is very difficult.

                                              Expressions in soft romantic songs or even club songs or bhajans or gazals are not easy to portray. Check out some of the oldies here guys, see the song “Kuch dil ne kaha kuch bhi nahi” sung by Lata, it makes you feel as if how in the world did she whisper the whole song? Anyone who says its easy, well let’s say that we beg to differ.

                                              So please all those who are in favour of classical, know that it’s a great genre.

                                              And all those who also like other kinds of songs, know that they are by no way are less compared with the classical songs in any way.

                                              If this wasn’t true then we would have only seen Classical singers in bollywood singing all the other kinds of songs too but that’s so not the case.

                                              And I also agree with you there, Sumitro, I have also seen some of my friends who have been trained in classical from childhood, when they sing a filmy romantic song, it certainly doesn’t feel nice and it’s only because their voice is modulated according and only few Gems like you mentioned master both beautifully.

                                              BTW @ Everyone, who do you think will get eliminated next week?

                                                  @ Platinum, my sentiments exactly on Bhappi. I mean what’s this nonsense about shakira and barbie doll. For God’s sake this is a singing programme (that too saregamapa) and not a drama or TV-serial or even Indian Idol show. He must have come here on the show by mistake and stayed.

                                                  Even I thought for a minute that lucky for us, he is finally quitting and taking his shakira too (ek sath dono jayenge, finally….Deep sigh….) But alas, we still have few more weeks of Bhappi left. And what’s with HR? He said,”bhalehi hamare vote kum ho jaye but inke contestant ko vote dijiye, bhappi da nahi jane chahiye, we won’t let him go” HELLOOOOOOOO…..Are you mad that you are actually saying it’s ok if you vote less for my contestant but please vote for Bhappi’s?

                                                  You know what, I feel this is not SAREGAMAPA anymore….This is KAKEKAMAKA (Ekta’s new So called Family saga). I am sure all of us are mistaking it for the singing show that it’s supposed to be.

                                                  But guys and girls, keep heart, because “Agar hume bura lage aur hum kaam na kar paye to HR will make sure that we get ROTI in our house no matter what” TO PHIR KYA DARNA?

                                                    “who do you think will get eliminated next week?”

                                                    Its a tough call …. lets see ..

                                                    Based solely on Sept 7/8 performance, I think Raja is the weakest link. But he cant go coz he has a stubborn fan following. Sumedha might go but that’ll leave Josh be-hosh. And god knows what drama Bappida will create next.
                                                    Aneek and Amanat have this love story to complete… with her so they have to stay for the TRP CR*P.

                                                    That leaves Poonam or Musarrat.

                                                    I hope I am wrong, but I have a sick feeling Musarrat’s time is up.

                                                      I agree with you that at high notes, Raja’s voice is not that much in sur as Mussarat’s but Raja’s singing has some kind of energy and he must make use of it with little “joshile” songs. Softer songs may not be his style either.

                                                      @Sweety
                                                      I would like to join your Mussarat fan club and I love your idea of VOTING OUT Aneek + HR.
                                                      I was so disappointed with VS comments to Mussarat in the last episode. They give him 8 and gave 10 to Sumedha. It was so clear that all these gurus were trying hard to make BP happy. Where is their concious? Mussarat was the best so let us make him # 1 this week.

                                                      @anon & @Deeps
                                                      I saw Raja’s performance, agreed it was not his best but it was not 7 either. The way HR was pulling him down was shameful. Can any one imagine Zakir Hussain or Gulam Ali as Gurus will humilate some one like that on the show. Really bad on HR’s part.

                                                      It appears that HR’s grand design is to pull down Mussarat and Raja to make way for Aneek. Some one on this forum suggested that HR may have a score to settle with Sonu Nigam and there is a point. But why sacrifice Mussarat’s carrier for that.

                                                      So I request @Abbas, @Sweety, @Sheebi fazel @Ankita and all other Mussarat’s fans to vote for Mussarat and make him # 1 this week.

                                                          There are already backlogs of previous winners from various shows who have all those features but no work. Mussarat sings NFAK, sufi and qawwali songs well, and all his songs touch out heart. I am sure many ppl would be ready to pay for Mussarat’s shows or albums if he sings sufi songs. We love what he sings and we dont want him to sings kishore or sonu songs. There are enough singers in the market already(& noone gives a damn abt them)

                                                          Mussarat has just given us(all NFAK fans) that he can carry the legacy of great Ustad NFAK. And that makes us happy. Sure Mussarat may not be even 5% of what NFAK was. But in 10-15 yrs he will become a legendary singer just like NFAK.

                                                          I would like to request Mussarat on behalf of millions of NFAK songs to sing only his genre and not get carried away by this versatility crap. Otherwise he will become only a cover singer(not a great singer like NFAK). Phir roti to kya paani bhi nahin milega.

                                                                You are very correct. While watching Musarrat’s videos again on You Tube, I too have noticed that, during Musarrat’s performance, it is always ID or VS who raise their hands to say “Wah-Wah” on certain lines sung so very efficiently and HR is always secondary in praising Musarrat. It seems as if he is just doing his duty and not praising Musarrat from his heart. When he asked Musarrat to sing a few lines from Saanwre to show Asrani ji and Ashish Ji, his real style of singing, HR was saying wah wah on each and every word and it almist looked like a fake appreciation.

                                                                @Sumitro,

                                                                I am not at all against Aneek, let aside hatred towards him. As I mentioned earlier also, we are very much disappointed with Himesh ji’s biased attitude towards Aneek and his remarks on Aneek’s love story in every episode. After all, personal relationships should not be discussed publicly. And HR knows very well that this show is being telecasted in so many other countries apart from India, and by discussing contestants’ love stories on the show will only harm its TRP. And why everyone forgets about the girl being discussed in this love story. Just think about her embarassment on the show.

                                                                • At 2007.09.09 23:32, P said:

                                                                  Well all the best to all the singers left in the show now. It so doesn’t matter who wins because these are the last few and they are all good.

                                                                  From a competition point of view though, as they are all good singers I think people will have no choice but to judge everyone on that days performance. So may be it is Raja. Let’s see what happens in next week’s spoiler.

                                                                  I loved Poonam’s performance in this one. I feel that she doesn’t get appreciated as much as others on this show. Anyone who thinks Poonam has chances of winning this show? Everyone talks about all the others on this show and only few mention this girl, so lets see what people feel about Poonam? So please comment.

                                                                  Priti

Poonam has proved again and again that she is THE BEST by consistently singing in perfect sur and control with powerful and sweet melodius voice. Mussarrat reminds the NFK with perfection. These two are the finding of this years Sa Re Ga Ma Pa.

                                                                        Logo ko creatisize karna bandh karo. RAJA don’t worry we all with you. All the best!

                                                                          I share your feelings on this Himesh-bias issue.
                                                                          He sets my teeth on edge whenever he starts his cooked up love love-triangle story.
                                                                          But to make allowances for him, you may have observed he has sobered up a little bit from the last edition of SRGMP (2005), when he fought tooth and nail for Vinit, who was worse than Aneek to me, at the expense of other competent contestants of his own gharana.
                                                                          This big-mouthed crackpot has mellowed a little for sure, as I find him backing Mussarat as well, from time to time.
                                                                          Last time he was much more violent and irritating.

                                                                          But, please don’t implicate Aneek in it.

                                                                          • At 2007.09.10 07:44, P said:

                                                                            @Everyone, I agree that Poonam has been singing good consistantly now over the episodes.

                                                                            Can you think about Mauli coming back though. I heard a rumour that they might ask people to vote on bringing Mauli back, what’s all this crap? come on people, please don’t vote her. This is much bigger issue than anything else at the moment.

                                                                            Once the contestant is out, they are out whether justice or injustice. This is a competition, if we keep on getting everyone back then this saregamapa will last till the next year’s start.

When Molly or Musarrat had a bad day and sang not so correctly, they were asked to sing again few lines to show public they had a bad day but were great singers.

                                                                              When it is Raja’s bad day, they gang up to ATTACK. What is this yaar??

                                                                              I urge all friends to heavily vote for Raja and show these drama queens that we the Janta have a say in this show, not their bias attitude.

                                                                              • At 2007.09.10 07:58, KLCC Boy KL said:

The way he behaved with Raja on the last episode was shameful. No decent self concious guru will do that to any contestant. He literally scolded Raja by saying that you are not a KG student and you must be knowing about your bad singing today.
                                                                                  I hope some one forward these comments to HR to make him realize that he is lossing fan base soooo fast.

                                                                                  @Sumitro

                                                                                  Well, Aneek is 18 year old and I think he can say very politely to HR that please stop embrassing me like this on the stage. The very fact he plays along with every remark by HR shows Aneek is willingly participating in this tamasha.

                                                                                  Just see how Amaanat tried to resist HR’s love comments in the last episode and HR did not let him speak because then truth would have come out.

                                                                                  • At 2007.09.10 09:19, anon said:

                                                                                    if one guru over hypes someone at the expense of others, it is human nature to express your backlash @ the fraud guru by also debunking his favorite chela

                                                                                    poor aneek doesnt know how badly his overpromotion by the bandar is

                                                                                    and the “kya woh mujhe milegi” statement was clearly aneek’s own-was’nt it? kya bakwaas hai yeh? SRGMP stage to apni fraud non existent love story mein kyon involve karte ho.. kuch votes ke liye.. thats stooping waaay low..altho maybe the bandar goaded aneek to say that.. i wont be surprised

Please pardone me, if you think, I am referring to the “Mahabharata” a number of times in my comments. In Mahabharata, Eklavya was made the scapegoat by his Guru, just to fulfil Arjun’s ambition.
                                                                                      But this time, Eklavya is not going to be the scapegoat. Let Arjun perform this role, for once, because this time, Eklavya is not alone; he has this fan base to support him all along. I hope you know who I am referring to.

                                                                                      • At 2007.09.10 10:53, seraphim.mahua said:

Arrey ek toh try kiya agar woh theek nahi tha toh ok..but 7 was too low! If this show now loses RAJA for Himesh, it will truly be a sad loss to the show!

I disagree that she is “flat”, she sings every song pretty darn well with a superb voice clarity. Just because rarely sings louder songs, doesn’t mean she can’t sing. And Jadoo hai nasha hai is not as easy to sing as many people are making it to seem!!! On Poonam, she is a very powerful singer, but her voice just does not suit most of the leading ladies today. If both were to move on to the playback industry (I’m sure they will) Poonam is more likely in the future to come out with one super-hit a year, while Sumedha is more likely to give out a lot more smaller hits. Both are really good singers, but my vote for this contest goes for Sumedha on the count of versatility (Same for Amanat as opposed to Mussarat and Raja).

                                                                                            Anyway, let’s vote more for the girls! Ladies, we don’t just have to vote for the guys, let’s make sure that there’s at least one girl in the top 3!

                                                                                              I have read a news from my eyes that Mussrat Abbas has been eliminated. From the same site i found about Mauli’s elimination.
                                                                                              CONGRATS TO HR.

                                                                                              • At 2007.09.10 12:21, ossama said:

                                                                                                Mussrat eliminated. I am v.v.v. upset. I hope its not true.

                                                                                                  Let’s bite our tongue next time we predict who will be eliminated coz it has happened. Mussarat is out. Sigh!!

                                                                                                    I have no personal grudges over aneek. hehehe.. nor do i say he is the best singer. of course he is good but not that good that he shd be getting so much hyped. I m a viewer and a listener, so i have some expectations from the singer . he shd at least have some quality which would compel me to buy his album. which i dont find in aneek. simple.. this is all what i wanted to say for ur comments.
