Raja…..your singing has soul…your smile has modesty and your dance on the stage shows you enjoy what you’re doing….that’s all you need to have and do….keep up the fantastic work….your fans love you!!!!!

VOTE FOR RAJA!!!!!!!!!!

You are also a very humble and loving human being … SOUL to SOUL.

Hope you get to join your family and friends back soon.

Lots of love and best wishes…
A very big fan!

I think the whole soap opera drama with the judges is really sad. Why cant they just give advice like judges are supposed to? It sucks because the public at times is unable to look past these immature behavior….All three contestants are good and again at this stage the jugdges should be promoting ALL THREE!! Instead they are all acting like children, all except VS, they danced through all THREE performances and didnt look like they had seen a ghost when another contestant was doing well on stage (like Himesh while raja was singing) GOOD JOB VS, the ONLY people consitantly maintaining dignity on the show…

Raja you are the best, this forum at times becomes a Raja bashing forum, but thats okay because his true fans love him unconditionally

NEW YORK LOVES YOU RAJA: VOTE RAJA!

How are you doing?

Yes, saturdays in this part of the world are extremely important for organizing the whole coming week…and sometimes just for the rejuvenating early morning walk in the fog…

Fall is in the air, we still do not have vibrant fall colors(a truly majestic sight to behold). But the weather is mild and salubrious as opposed to chilly and nippy.

I think you could be right, the profusion of colors and the weather tends to actively promote random synapse thereby popping random ideas in my head, who knows

(I better stop before Dockaul gets on my case and tells me about the new weather bureau link where I can post weather updates )**

If you notice I desisted from commenting on the performers or the renditions themselves. Venturing an opinion in that direction would be asking for the hungry howling hordes of hades to descend mercilessly (hereforth h4):)

Other than the bandish Albela Sajan (I think the original one has such a strong stamp of authority from the noted Sarangi maestro Ustad Sultan Khan that to eventure in that direction is asking for inevitable comparison’s) the mentors have not done their work by modifying the compositions or re-arraning bol/tan’s to support the participants strengths and weaknesses. Saanware was another such performance…not really much to choose from otherwise…I thought some of Aneek’s earlier performances were good. Raja seems to have left his best behind

About the categorization of songs etc…I would appreciate if we can all be interactive and participative so we can get better equity as opposed to fostering unilateralism.

What Say ?? Forward Ho!!

So bright and early today!
Well into the fall, already feeling some nip in the air in your part of the world?

How profusely ideas come into your mind!
How do you manage to discern, even as you are writing so much and making lists of songs (all appreciated immensely), so much untoward goings-on on the show?

For my part, I couldn’t detect (probably my inability) anything seriously wrong but for Himesh’s well-known eccentricities.
I didn’t enjoy the episode at all, but for other reason- the basic reason: The selection of songs just one week before the “GRAND FINALE” was CRAP (to use the tritest slang)!
“Tum jo mil gaye ho” was the only one that stood out, Kailash song was good, “Dard-e-dil” and “Maine poochha” were comme ci, comme ça and the rest were run-of-the-mill at best (obviously according to ME).

But still there remains a great attraction in this forum (in the “non-SRGMP” thread).
Now that the job of compilation and categorization of “perfect songs” on your hands, we can rest assured:o)

The most fascinating play for me in SRGMP is the group dynamics between the judges.

Earlier HR and ID had combined to jettison BL and VS. HR was playing games where he used to support ID and ID would support HR’s contestant. Both of them would combine to attack others. Forcing BL and VS to combine forces for survival.

ID has participated in all these games (people play) with a enigmatic smile. Leading me to think he had a card(maybe the whole deck) up his sleeve..

Earlier in my post’s I had submitted that the most interesting spectacle might be when HR and ID have to compete in the finals. What would be the equation then, what would be the games ???? Would HR start shouting at Amanat and ID????Would ID show the poor technique of Aneek ????

Hmmmmmmmmm…………

After watching the latest saga it appears clear to me that people have been conspiring behind the scenes and have already thrown their dice.

HR was in his usual mood this friday, targeting poor Raja who looked as if he wished the ground would open and swallow him (meri laaj rakhle …he looks heavenwards, while HR jumps into the cheerharan with glee…).

When suddenly, like a Hindi Movie ( or Lord Krishna in Mahabharata), the Heroes arrived and rescued the fair (??!!!) Raja. Raja looked relieved with the arrival of the heroes. They all celebrated this with a thundering RDB and the crowds responded to it…What a movie…oops episode.

In the middle of this, one suddenly noticed that ID has established new friendship with Vishal of VS group. It was a clear case of my enemy’s(HR) enemy(Vishal) is my friend. He not only ditched HR in the middle of the show but also participated with VS and Adnan in an impromptu *xcillint stage perfaarmaance.

In the middle of all this HR sat forlorn and lost in his chair. He looked utterly devastated with the turn of events. When VS entered the stage he had the look of a child who has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar…after ID’s “betrayal”, HR looked like he was going to burst into petulant sobs right there (Dost Dost na raha, pyar(Aneek) pyar na raha)…

The other’s were rocking the night away on the stage. When HR was dragged weeping and screaming to the stage he stood with his back ramrod straight looking as proud as Napolean must have looked as he was lead like a common villain to Elba.

When suddenly he decided to go down with guns blazing and burst into an impromptu performance. I must say he rocked the stage and crowd with his “mindblowing” performances. One can understand why his stage shows are such “Thundering hits”…..Aakhir Kuch baat to hai humme bhi hai, yun he log diwaane nahin hua karte humpe…

ALL in all a most entertaining episode. I suppose from the next episode ID will sit next to Vishal and both of them will try and control HR. HR will be a handful and this promises more pyrotechniques in the future…My *YAWNIIIING* boredom has turned into a eye rubbing delight at all this…GO HR!! Conquer the world!!

A last piece of observation, did anyone notice, how good and correct even singers like Adnan and HR sound as compared to the contestants ??

Pls. rewind and see. It will help one to appreciate how raw the RAA (Raja/Aneek/Amanat) group is when compared to B or C category singers in Bollywood. Forget Lataji or Manna Deyji. These legends are light years ahead in terms of natural talent, technique/style, riyaaz and character/nature(humility…peaceful nature).

Am not a big fan of Aneek…but I feel really sorry for the kid. His so called ‘guru’ is killing his chances at winning.

It’s a real pity that Amanat isn’t getting any support from ID. EVERYONE ELSE is getting support from their mentors EXCEPT for Amanat. And in my opinion, Amanat is way above the standard of Raja and Aneek.

Jobs after Saregamapa:
Aneek – None unless Sonu isn’t available
Raja – None unless Sukhwinder / Kailash Kher aren’t available
Amanat – MANY He doesn’t copy anybody at all.

Even scrolling down and reading all the comments, I realise that there are strong fan clubs for Raja and Aneek who support them to the extent of being called neurotic. (Check out Aneek’s FC on Orkut +_+)

Amanat far exceeds Aneek and Raja!!! GO AMANAT!!! <3333

LOL .. I loved that..

Guys y showing this partiality..Since yesterday.. I don’t feel like watching the show.. poor AMANAT.. no one to support him..All the judges.. audience.. everyone know that he is the best.. but still.. After such an outstanding performance.. he is still 3′rd.. Guys, come on use your head..and press the vote button..

If you are real music lovers, you won’t be doing that… Whatever is the final result, Amanat, Mussarat and Poonam are the winners to me.. They are the real singers.. The competition is for singers .. not for performers..
