  @Divya,
  maybe you are accent comprehending is little deficient. Have you heard Aneek sing? All along he has picked easy songs. Not one hard song so far. I waited and waited for him to prove it but he failed. Last year ID won so this year it has to be either HR or VS. Most likely, it will be HR since he has been crying about it for the past one year that from somone from his ghrana will win. What a loser! ZeeTv will give it it him. So why are you so worried? It’s all politics. I can tell you that Aneek will not get any contract whatsoever just like last year winner. Give Aneek 5 more years before he makes it as a playback singer. Raja has a voice! His voice has deepness that people like hearing. So stop imposing your technically on others. You know better than the gurus who praised Amanat? Give me a break!

  i very much agree with moneymaker
  as far accent is concerned, hindi movie songs have more hindi words then english. Aneek has a big difficulty in pronouncing many of the very common hindi words, a vey simple example is the word ‘nahi’ which he pronounces as ‘nehi’ and there are many more more like this.

  So, difficult in speaking ‘find a way’ is still acceptable but in speaking ‘nahi’ is not especially in hindi movies.

  Hi,

  As we all know that Mussarat is no more the part of SRGMP so we can guess how much struggle he has to undergo to make it a big. He has got a real talent. He has already won our hearts…So my friends just think can we do something for him. Can we do something to help Mussarat make his first solo album, and bring it to the Market. And one more imp thing is there is a rumor that Mussarat has got the offer from A R Rehman. That is all false.

  @$hashi,

  Can you please take some initiative in this. U r the owner of this Website and U know how popular is Mussarat Abbas. U know everybody wants to hear Mussarat’s voice again and again, so why don’t we do something for this. I believe you can make a difference. Please don’t ignore this fact and lets do something about this. After this SRGMP show ends, what’s next, so lets not Mussarat vanish like other past contestants.

  All Saregamapa fans,

  If you look at the list of songs sung by each 3 of them you will see that most variety of songs came from Amanat.
  Highest one singer’s song came from Aneek; he sang 9 Sonu Nigam’s songs. Next is Raja; he sang 7 Sukhwinder’s song.
  Look at the statistics below:

  Sonu’s songs Aneek 9, Amanat 5 Raja 1
  Rafi’s songs Aneek 4, Amanat 3, Raja 1
  Sukhwinder’s songs Raja 7, Amanat 0, Aneek 0,
  Kishore’s songs Aneek 3, Amanat 4, Raja 3.

  If someone says Amanat is only a classical or Punjabi singer as forcasted by Divya, I have to say it is wrong.
  You may not like his songs but do not bring wrong information on the table.
  Thanks,

  @anjali…

  I can bet neither will be able to RAP in both the songs the way Aneek did……I having stayed in US for 8 years know how difficult is to get he rhythm and the pronunciations right in a RAP song…Amanat is good in softer songs but not this type of fusion or contemporary songs…

  Also for those who think Aneek chose all easy songs….please explain me how in the world is ” Laaga Chunri mein Daag” an easy song to sing….

  Also when one cites deepika padukone comments on Amanat being oneself while being close to the original……why do u neglect the comment on how Shekhar (who certainly has better music sense) said that Aneek was fabulous in laga chunri mein daag and sung it the way he wanted to sing and not copied anyone…

  As far as the ghazal episode is concerened Aneek had to sing the song of some radio channel gave him and not his choice of sone…..anjali, by singing laga chunri mein daag he has proved he can sing the most difficult songs, which are based on indian classical music…

  Thank u…

  Vote for Aneek

  To All,

  You can not ask Md Rafi to sing Mukesh�s song or Manna Dey�s to Kishore Kumar or any other order.
  Everyone had there own style and fan followers. Everyone was successful in there own terms.
  Here I am seeing the competition is going on like Raja�s fan will say can Aneek sing Piya Haji Ali or Aneek�s fan will say can Amanat sing RAP song or Amanat�s fan will say can Raja or Aneek sing Mitwa etc. They can not do that. They are different singers with different style. But have already proved enough to be successful in their life. Now who ever has the most fans will win.

  Guys who are in USA already know if you can sell 1 million CD you are already a millionaire.
  I am sure they will cut even more in couple of more years.

  Thanks.

  Dear Anon:

  I seem to have missed another comment from you. I am as unschooled as the next lay person on HCM (as I say not even a novice, below that). Just a very active interest and autodidactic/experiential(as opposed to pedantic).

  Ok, first of all Thehrav, a song/composition has various basic elements to it as follows – swar(or the corrupted word sur)/notes, laya/flow or tempo, tal/beats and the harkat’s/emotion. When a novice singer tries to sing a song he usually will rush some parts, some words will overlap and especially where he has to put in emotions or harkats(a long taan for example) he will be out of synch. This is easily discernible in a lot of performances. If you listen to an expert singer he seems to be almost doing poetry recitation, the amount of time he has. On the other hand as I said before, novice singers will try to rush which is easily made out in Aneek’s case who seems to be in a hurry to finish the song.

  In Amanaat’s case, when he tries to sing with thehrav since thehrav requires holding breath while doing vocal modulations, he goes out of breath. If you see his video’s in the last round like the ghazal round you will notice this.

  Of all the contestants though, since he comes from patiala gharana+has ID for guru he is the only one who sings technically correct and which is why you saw the comments from Pt. Jasraj and Jagjit Singhji. Is he ready for “good” singing ? IMHO he still needs to do riyaaz for 2-3 years.

  I think you are a fan of Mussarat , so maybe I should not comment further. This song chal chal is a mix of Ahir-Bhairav(the same, which forms the base for poocho na kaise from last night) and puriya dhanashree. If you listen to the mukhda in this clip and compare it with the clip by Sukhwinder, you will notice two things immediately –
  1> Mussarat’s voice quavers on the notes…shows his lack of training and the fact that he is struggling to render the pitch of the note while maintaining the sargam.
  2> Listen a bit carefully to the pitch of the note in the initial sargam. You will notice in Sukhwinder’s voice, modulation, ranging from shuddh(normal) to komal(basso or low notes). Actually Sukhwinder’s voice is a natural baritone but he manages the modulation very well. Mussarat’s voice is flat/shuddh and follows the sargam without the pitch…just to illustrate…

  Of course you are comparing a very high quality singer to someone who has just started his career. Pls. don’t come after me with a gun

  I have eclectic tastes in music and used to be quite a metal head(still listen to a lot of heavy rock). In the western music world vocal ranges are classified and a lot of rock singers would fall in the category of countertenor or the capability to sing soprano (they have different genres and different vocal ranges such as basso profundo to basso or baritone/bass-baritone, tenor etc…). They also switch to falsetto as compared to their normal voices during a performance, its a natural gift and they can hit very high notes without losing clarity…I used to be(still am) a fan of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath/Ozzy, GnR, Jimi Hendrix and quite a few groups…in the Ballad Genre Bob Seger(Silver Bullet Band) rules according to me …Long Live Classic Rock!!

  As far as HF goes the problem is not in unzipping, but in uploading. For some reason I am unable to upload content for me to be able to d/l.

  Thanks for the eSnip/Shobha Gurtu link. That whole folder is v. good, a good way to spend today.

  Hope, I did not bore you to death with this longish post.

  sexism in saregamapa
  Poonam’s Kuhu Kuhu Bole Koyaliya was easily among the best and comparable to Musarrat’s best. Both her singing and on-stage presence were phenomenal. She seemed completely at ease. Yet when it ended, there was no standing ovation, and only a cursory, it was good, etc., etc. I must confess to not knowing hindi and relying on the reviews at this site. Even ID did not go to the stage in support of Poonam as he did so readily for Amanat and others on many occasions. There was over all a lukewarm reaction. I can put this down only to sexism and devaluing of individuals lacking “glamor”. After all bollywood runs on glamor & hype.
  I wish the best for Poonam and hope she takes up classical music as suggested by Panditji.

  2centsworth
  It’s fundamentally unfair to compare live performance to a studio recording where they can record over and clean up unsavory bits, etc.
  Add to that the lack of experience.
  It’s amazing that these “kids” are coached to sing in different styles in such a short time. They haven’t had the opportunity to evolve.

  Dear Nagarajanji:

  Welcome to the forum

  I agree with you. One can do magic in the studio nowadays. Anyone can be made to sound good but you cannot do the same live…If somebody is excellent they can be made to sound sublime in the studio.

  But if people do not use the right note(sur), the right pitch or the laya etc…it shows. I am not saying they are good or bad etc…I am merely pointing out some nuances to a friend…

  i totally agree with u. aaj toh pura show mard aur aurat ki baat kar raha tha. i dont know why he is allowed to talk when it is singing contest. i was surprised the way they attacked raja when VS were not there. when later shekar asked raja ki dhant padi hai did u guys see himesh face. i think at this stage they need to encourage all the three than scold them.

  let all of us support all the 3 singers who are gud in their own way. vote for whom u like. but dont attack singers. they are just doing what they know best. lets support them and not act as cheap as the judges.

  Dear Aditya,

  I would like to highlight, what Himesh did on yesterday’s show (05/10/2007). When raja was singing, after that himesh said that he needs to improve on how to finish words or the antara’s properly…and same thing when amant made mistake and Ismailji was bit upset then he supported amant. I don’t think so that is correct. I think he is not happy that raja is on top he is worried about aneek. I think he is just showing off that he is supporting all contestants, but he does not mean it. I find him very artificial. I really thank Vishal and Shekhar that they reached on time to support RAJA he really required it…….Please all the fans of raja and Vishal, Shekhar Vote………karooooooo……Dil Se ….for Raja…..I am working professional and while working I keep this site open and I keep voting for raja…….continuously ……Raja I love your voice you will Win…..Take care.

  Poor AMANAT…
  ID is not supporting him at all like V/S and HR is supporting their students. Poor Amanat has to beg HR to appeal votes for him. I never remember ID asked votes for Amanat (Plz correct me if I’m wrong).
  Even in this last episode, ID did not ask votes for him and rest of mentors asked votes for their students as others have better voting than Amanat. Amanat asked ID to support for him in voting as he’s behind. Still ID didn’t go ahead and asked people to vote for him. To whom he should ask…? HR V/S or who??
  ID learn some lesson from others and support your student. It’s enough to say all the times that “I’m very proud that Amanat is in my gharana”. Its your goodluck that you have a diamond. Now take care of your diamond and give me some value to make him kohinoor. Learn some lesson how to appreciate your student from other mentors.

  Thanks!

If raja wins, that will happen only when public give baised decision.
