Saregamapa Challenge 2009 Videos - 2nd August Episode - Part I
Rajdeep
As per my promise with Fayyaz, no more comments on this topic so be happy…………thanks
@Harjeet,
The question was “Can you name at least 10 movies that have been released last year that have qauali songs?”.
Your answer was
Qawwali song in movies
Ramudada (1961)
Deewar
Ustadon Ke Ustad (1963)
Karamyogi
laila majno
Tatshastu
Ali, Akhbaar and Anthony
Fiza
Main ho Na
Uui maa, You have gone back to future, which year are you living in?
I can provide you a similar list of Bhajan’s and Qawwali’s for last 50 yrs, this not about Bhajan vs Qawwali or Punjabi vs Urdu vs Hindi. Both these genre’s have equal
excellent songs if you have “Ek Radha Ek Meera” as a Bhajan then you have a equally melodius ” Parda hai Parda”. So let’s end the discussion here, else this will need
a new forum.
@Fayyaz- Bhai,
Actually, I don’t think there is a format nor do I think they really want a winner. They just want a show. Something which can drag for a year and earn them advertising and
TRP. Songs, Melody gaye tel lene. The depressing factor is that the Maha-Guru’s like Ashaji also don’t object to it.
Also regarding your questions about Pakistani contestants allowed to sing your Independance song. I personally don’t see it as a issue, But due to the recent bombings in India, there will be a lot of tension and objection from the political parties. So Zee may have to approach this with fragility.
@Fractal Image
About Asma and why Aadesh chose her over other girls, may be there is a reason. To understand let’s also review Jeffrey. Having watched the US SaReGaMaPa, Jeffrey
should have not even made it to the finals. But he got there because of his contacts. I know I am repeating myself, but he said during his speech after being crowned the runner up that he thanked everyone, specially the person who conducted the auditions, as his “Voice had cracked 3 times”. These are the same auditions where talented singer’s were not even given a second chance and Jeffrey was given 3 chances. So it won’t be breaking new’s if Aadesh is biased toward these rich Non-Residents.
So coming back to Asma, she is pathetic. But it’s because she does not speak the language. Does this mean that every rich kid out there who want’s a platform to perform
can come an croon a few words. I just think its the “Petrodollar” & dollar doing the talking or singing.
@Jokes - Last year I did a few of these, courtesy Mooli. This year I thought i will be serious, but I can’t stop myself.
Here it is.
Breaking News, Zee to launch television in China. SaReGaMaPa conducted auditions in China for their 2010 show. There was no participation, as they gave a damn about
India. So Zee approaches a rich Chinese Industrialist, whose daughter is into singing. She does not know Hindi, but it’s not a problem. Zee still accepts her.
Show Begins - Lin-Ming joins.
Aditya - Ab aa rahi hai, China se ek Chinese doll jise India se nahi pyaar. Please welcome Lin-Ming.
Shankar Interrupts - Aditya, Mera ek important kaam a gaya hai. Mujhe jaana hoga and leaves for the day.
Lin-Ming in Broken English - Sorry, I no Hindi, But I sing, because Pa Pay, you listen.
Lin-Ming sings - ‘Chini,Mini Ching chau, Chini, Mini chau’ ………..Song finishes. There is no applause. Suddenly Aadesh jumps up and says “Wah excellent”.
All Guru’s stand up and clap.
Aditya - To pehle virodhi Guru’s se poochte hain.
Pritam - Lin, Tum itni Meethi ho, pura “Misthi Doi”. Hamare Bangla mein kehte hain Sweet dish ko. Baccha tum bahut accha gaya. Darti kyun ho,
Tumhare Baap ne bahut paise khilaye hai. Hum to kuch bura bol hi nahin sakte. Tumhari diction itni Imperfect hai, lekin tumhari imperfections, itni hai, ki dimaag blank ho jata hai. I like your voice quality. Diction, Sur, yeh sab machine theek kar sakta hai. Machine Paise nahin de sakta.Hum “Sunidhi” se gaana gavayenge aur tumhara naam audio label pe likhenge. God bless you.
Himesh - Mein kya bolu. Mind Blowing, Le’ts Rock. Tum is tarah gaate rehna, tumhare gharme Roti zaroor milegi.
Lin-Ming - I no eat Roti, I eat Boti.
Himesh - Noodle milenge. Din mein ek baar Saraswati Maa Tathastu bolti hai. Tum 24 hrs Noodle maangte rehna. Bus Gaana mat gaana.
Aadesh - Jaise Pritam ne kaha, Tumhare Baap ne bahut paise khilaye hai. Hum to kuch bura bol hi nahin sakte. God Bless you. Jo bhi improvement hai
woh didi batayegi.
AshaJi -’ Tum gaa nahin sakti. Tumhe gaana bhi nahi chahiye. Lekin, yeh itne bade music director’s baithe hai, woh kuch na kuch sochenge. Mein aur kuch nahi kahoongi.
Aditya - To Lin-Ming are you happy.
Lin-Ming - No. My Pa pay lot money, I want lot comment, I want Golden key. If you no give, then I call Pa.
Aditya - Guru’s ka yeh kehna hai, ki tumhara competition koi nahin kar sakta, isliye tum ab final episode mein return karogi.
Lin-Ming - Me in Final, Me happy. I know only 1 word in hindi Can I say it.
Aditya - Zaroor. Who taught you hindi
Lin-Ming - Yesterday, I get down from Taj Hotel, there was a Poor child on the street, Singing beautiful Hindi song. I ask him , why he no compete.
He say what I want to say. “The show is so Bikau, that for Paisa they will even make Maindak sing and win”.
I quit show, I no Maindak. I no want to take what I no deserve. Please give to talented people instead.
Himmesh Interrupts - You should not worry about what happens to others, talent is nothing but god’s gift. We don’t need god gifted people because we have Machines. See U don’t worry. If anyone complains, we have tricks up our sleeve that can divert people’s attention.
Tricks.
a. Brew up a Love story between a Male & a Female contestant.
b. Raise Indo-Pak fights. Like the Independance day episode last year.
c. Cook a Love story between contestants of same sex.
All other Guru’s (Aadesh,Pritam) nod in agreement.
p.s. Shankar has been excluded from the above, because, I just love him. Not in the Trick c sense though.
Vijay
Vijay after such a long message you gave the answer in the last line yourself i.e ‘favouritism’
if you can understand my message about Asma,
OK if we are agree that Jaffery used resources and Asma is a wealthy child, these factors supported them to reach the main round but what happen inthe main round,
it means that the judges who choosed both of them in the main round also were bribed or under some influence or pressure,
I really dont think so because after that factor the total credibility of judges and programme should be at stake,
Any how an entertainment has been turning into some thing ???????????????
@Fractal Image
Do you think this is a credible show. The judges are just enjoying themselves. Their comments seem scripted at most times. The Channel is making the decisions,the judges are just going with it. After all they have a show to carry on.
then what is the purpose of discussion on this forum vijay ??????????
Fun.Vent our anger against the “Na-Insafi aur Bhrastachaar”. Also secretly hope someone from Zee is reading these comments & knows Public sab janti hain. They give us the Old SaReGaMa show back, where actual talent mattered.
BTW Fractal Image where in UK r u fm.
Then we should hope for the best vijay
I’m from Manchester
So Rajdeep and Vijay are Clones
You must be from the future.
A short quiz for the clones
Can you name me the artist who sound’s very close to Mohd Rafi saab?
awesome show….awesome singers…..awesome host…..aditya is fabulous…..and the 3 new judges too…..i think the only annoying judge on the show is himesh reshammiya…..he talks too much…..sorry to say but he has no sophistication…..he talks abot things which are irrelvant to the show…..just like he always talked about anek and sumedha in the last series…..i hope he doesnt talk on such ridiculous topics again….. wish he was not repeated and the 4th judge was also someone new.
@ senty
hamne shujat miya ka gaana dekha, it was aight, nothing extraordinary.. himass ko rona kyon aata hai? this perf was nothing compared to mussarats awesome performances from last year, whom this a-hole stabbed in the back so that his pet chooha ( oink oink) could win,, dhikkar hai tujhpe -him-ass besharmiya , jaa chullu bhar paani mein doob ja
I think apart from sa re ga ma pa competition there should be a competition for the best commentator. Senty, Anon, Fractal Image (Umair), Mehfil, harjeet & Vijay you people are superb. But if someone asks me who is the winner of “COMMENTS COMPETITION” for August 5, 2008.

Really you are talented Vijay. or iss main tumhara koi kamal nahi yeh uper walay ki taraf say hota hai. Rather than your other comments I have read your “JOKE” more than three or four time. I like your characterization while I was reading really it was feeling that I was watching the show.
Kahin tumhain tariff sunnay ka shuq tu nahi
arey baba kaha na I liked your comment. Although every one is excellent but you r the winner of August 5, 2008. Might be possible today’s winner would be someone else.
Hey matchaa

Mind it
SonuNig doesn’t sound anyway near Mohd.Rafi
You must be nuts. Go checK your ears Matchaaa
@rajdeep
who is sayon chaudary? can you list any song he/she has sung? At this point in the show, I need the song to remember the performer .. sorry, my memory is thora thora unnees bees … budhaape ka asar.
Pratibha is good and Mitika too. So is Naina. I will wait for sometime before making my list coz there are some real good singers here, but none have put on a ussko-kya-kehte-hain.. mindblowing.. performance.
Lets do a “top shot of the month award” in this forum for the best singer of the month. wat say?
@anon
HimeshBhai ka mind blow ho gaya.. issiliye ro rahe the. Topi bhi nahin thi, bacha-kucha mind ko cover karne ke liye..
Wish we had a completely different set of songs in vy09.. rather than repeating the same naina, bulla, saiyyaan and .. wachamacalit .. mitwa.. in fact every channel in town is recycling the same songs…its getting maha boring. Infact I stopped listening to, even deleted from my collection, some of these songs.
Moreover.. we still seem to have musarrat, poonam, raja amanat hangovers.. thats killing this show for me.
@vijay
I think Anwar’s voice is pretty close to MRafi.
@ Hardeep & Senty -
Senty Dudette!! Got your gender questioned Heh Heh A Male Chavunist !! Told you always your sense of humour is decidedly masculine.
Harjeet Maam - To further complicate matters Bimbo is actually a masculine term per se , Bimbette is the feminine. So exactly speaking a Bimbo cannot be a female despite the popular misconception about the word.Since Senty has called Monty a bimbo I think she is using the classical meaning .
@Vijay - EMOF !! Ling Min Sing ! Chaa gaye dost. A brilliant satire! For me the word “BIKAU” said it all. Shame on Zee & these Gaphla Gurus.
@Dockaul
Doctor, I was waiting for you and I knew you will find your way here, Welcome.
And since you are here,read this entire blog and suggest some medications for a few bloggers here.
I’m quite positive, that after reading through these mindless rumblings ( by a few patients of anxiety, hyper sensitivity and of course diarrhea !) , you might need a few yourself…hehehe
I just wanted to welcome you for now.
Mehfil
Why is my comment awaiting moderation?

Zaheer picks the right songs ..so smart my munda. So far I watched him perform two songs only and i think he is amazing. I don’t like the girls that much but a few really stand out.

Ji Fayyaz Bhai
Yar its 5 hours difference in UK just at my desk now…any how, yar khud hi award competition karwaya, khud hi winner announce kar dia, lagta hai aap ko bhi Zee TV nai kuch paisa laga dia hai…:) just kidding man…
OK lets come to the questions for me….
1- My own opinion about Sara Raza Khan is that she is good singer but not verstile, she will be in trouble if she needs to sing a song with low and high notes in one time like, Ajab Si from Om Shanti Om, little chanced to advance too far in this show, my prayers are with her….
2- From pakistan Zaheer could go in the long way in the competition but like Mussarat people are of the view that he is not a play back singer but a good classical singer and film industry needs some one who can sing ‘Kismet Connection’ too as easily as some classical song…so hard luck but no doubt he has a long career ahead
3- Most commited and appreciated singer so far in this competition is Fareed. Brilliant brilliant brilliant…….He is my top favourite in this competition and I could see him in the final easily bro…….all the best to Fareed and keep it up
4- Sunvinder Singh means Sardar G has the potential to be big big playback singer….two big advantages apart form his own abilities that he is genuinly a good singer…..firt he is from Hamesh Gharana and Hamesh’s fan following is bigger than anyone in this competition and……secondly he is from Punjab……I hope he will go far in the competition and when it will be up to the people to vote…..yar he is from Punjab……and Punjab never disappoints……Ashmit was the winner of Star voice of India with Punjab votes (no doubt good voice too) but voting is a big issue once the competition is on……so Sardar G could be a trouble for other
4. Lets talk about Eklavya gharana I have one particular person Anuraag Dhoundeyal as my favourite if he will be given a chance, I think he can rock the stage. I hope he will be given a chance and he will be in the competition and will give tough time to other contestants.
Now come to Hamesh Rashmya……I have personally met him when he visted UK……I found him very humble and nice man…..as far as his mucin is concern I don’t think so that any one on this forum and outside this forum could deny the fact that he is brilliant composor, director and a great singer…….he is a singer of his own kind and it might looks like he is doing some drama on the stage it is the requirement of the show to creat more interest of the people…..just watch judges after the show…..they should be kidding with each other…….Hamesh is one of my all time best in music and I like him FOR ONE GREAT REASON THAT HE FULLFILLED THE DREAMS OF HIS FATHER…….Fayyaz Bhai bohat kismat wala hota hai jo apne maa or Baap ko is duniya me proud bana kar jata hai and for this reason I salute him…….
So the show is on and I’m back so see you very soon
take care
@Harjeet
Sorry to let you down, Mein “jeet” ke liye,kuch bhi kar sakta hoon, Bas ek Jaan hi
nahin de sakta.
Accept, Rafi-saab himself felt that they ( Him & Mahendra Kapoor) had similar voices
but the fact is that 1 can distinguish between Rafi and Mahendra Kapoors voices.
FYI - Sonu began his career singing Rafi-Cover versions for T-Series. He has a volume of 12-CD’s called
Rafi ki Yaadein.
@Senty,
Forgot totally about Anwar. But I feel Sonu is the only one who can do full justice to a Rafi-song. His Rafi versions
are excellent compared to the Anwar’s & Mohd.Aziz’s.
BTW- Awaiting your comments on Lin-Min-Sing
@dockaul
Great to have you back in this forum.
@ Faiyyaz-Bhai
Thank you for your kind words. Yeh sab upar wale ki den hai.
I too can distinguish between Rafi and SonuNig voices.
Rafi Saab said himself that “that they ( Him & Mahendra Kapoor) had similar voices”…admitting
Har Har Har Harjeet
Don’t feel bad huh…I never give in.
Chow
good harjeet
@senty,
Sayon belongs to Adesh’s gharana. Listen to his song on the first episode.
Look how he sings the base notes. Even many professional singers don’t have so much control on base notes. High notes, many can sing.
That’s the reason I thought that this lad has tremendouus potential.( And I believe he was in Ekalavya gharana in C07 but did not get a chance)
But you are right. Its too early to judge.
@vijay
Aisa hi kuch HimeshbBai ke dimaag mein bhi idea baitha hai shaayad.. tabhi to he has started converting to a cheeni… starting from the top 
I am scared of the time when the conversion process hits his throat via his nose !!
I mentioned anwar coz I find his voice closest to MRafi. Infact for a long time I thought his songs were rafi songs…”Ek andhera laakh sitaare” (film “akhir kyun”), or “teri aankhon ki chaahat mein” (film janta hawaldar). But I agree with you, hands down sonu is the closest to rafi when it comes to cover versions.
Mahendra Kapoor…hmmm… I have never ever thought of him as a MRafi clone.. infact, mahendra kapoor is mahendra kapoor. In my mind he always had his unique identity.
There is a singer called Masood Rana in pak… the pak folks here will know more about him. He has sung many very melodios film songs. I find his and Mahendra Kapoor’s voice very similar…
Hey !Your take on “Saregamapa Chhheenee2010″ was hillarious
Nice discussion on the m.rafi topic.
BTW, there is no need to “give in” to “get out” in such a discussion. No ones gonna get a penny richer or live a day longer by winning a silly argument.
@rajdeep
Ok I will check out sayyon. I remember the first intro episode was very good. Almost everyone was amazing…kinda set the expectation very high for me.
@uzma
So far in the other TV show, musarrat has sung a nfak song, and then “naina thag lenge”, “rafta rafta dekho aankh meri ladi hai” but it didnt come out well.
Musarrat came in late into the show so he has performed only a few times.
@ dockaul, welcome dude! its seems a lot of the team from last year is re grouping!
I think Sonu CAN be very rafi like if he wants to , i actually like his rafi series -i have all of em..
HE has a versatile voice and is a great mimic, did you all see him mimic naak se gaane waala besharmiya- its priceless-check it out on you tube
My faves so far- Sunvinder, Sayon, Debojit, Arshad, Fareed, Sarah, Naina, Pratibha
I dont rememebr the names of others and many others i havent seen perform yet..
agree with deli blaze its all Faraz’s fault he can sing a classiccal song par us ne wohi stupid song gaya jise aaj koi nahi sunta sing a hard core classical song phir dheek tamasha lolzz
ab le ley sanjivni booti apni naso main lolz
anyone else think abhijeet is a dickhead # 1 for refusing to judge mussarat in ESBE..He makes me ashamed to be an indian..
I don’t see what the big fuss is all about abhijeet refusing to judge mussarat in ESBE (BTW I don’t watch this show).
Two possibilities here 1) It just proves that Abhijeet is incompetent to do his job (judging) and 2) remember when Amanat performed Tujshe Naraj Nahi Zingdagi..the judges (vishal-shekar) said they are not qualified to jugde his performance - meaning it was a WOW performance a (i.e a COMPLIMENT).
I think Abhijeet was WOWed by Mussrat performance
@anon
Abhijit was pretty silly in making that fuss.. but I think it was all to make some quick breaking-news headlines for himself and raise the trp cr*p of the show. He is doing an ok job of judging musarrat now. Looks like he has set aside his usool wusool for this show.
Actually, Sanober was pretty spunky and stuck up for musarrat during that fuss. She was like - if you dont want to give marks to my partner musarrat, I dont want ur marks either .. or something to that effect.
@ senty
i understand the drama and trp crap, its just shameful that Zee is acting as a mouthpiece of this hateful propogandist…
trp is more important than some basic tenents of decency , which is a sad state of affairs..
i guess i sld watch the show again, now that the idiot is behaving himself
Ok here is the JEST of all the rants and Raving above.
I learned a lot with the on going discussion , its pretty much learning the same cr*p all over again, we all have been SEASONED music freaks and we have somehow learned that Zee is basically a commercial organization and while srgmp is going on for ever, its only NOW that it has become the blockbuster , super duper money maker for Zee. and zee also learned that with the inclusion of paki singers their TRP has gone up a million times , Why ? because trust me, if it was an india and the rest of the world included show it would not have made as much money and fame, but by including paki singers, it has suddenly turned into an india pak cricket match, truly there are a few people on this blog who’d rather be watching an India-pak cricket match. I for one would rather watch a third class music program than a retarded TRP boosting show. I have been pushing this question forever, but there is no answer, I can hardly believe that these shows have below average judges and sick politics pitted agaist, the worlds finest youth. That also raises the question what happened to to REAL DEAL Music Maestros ? ustad amjad ali khan, Pt. Ram Narayan, shobha atre, kishori amonkar, and take it up a notch, bhimsen joshi, pt. Jasraj, Pt Kumar Gandharva,Pt. Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Pt ravi shankar to name a few ? do they not understand the Music and all about music better than the reshmaiyas, abhijeets, adesh shrivastavs and monty sharmas of todays shows ? why is zee bent on submitting the sanity of a gazillion Indian music lovers to the third rate Bimbos(thanks Senty for puttig them in a deserved bracket !)last year Pt jasraj came to one show with jagjit singh, can anybody argue that their comments, demeanor and mannerism was delightfully different than the chaotic bashing like, mujhay iskay ghar mein roti chahiye ? roti ? so music=Roti ? what about the FINE art of Music ? Voice ? sur, taal etc. ? do they still figure vaguely in indian music or am I talking about a bygone era ? why did so many people loved mussrat, amanat, raja, onik and poonam than ? pretty faces ? and why we are wastin our time Now by commenting on our fav contestants ? did anybody say HAIL to shujaat ? and doosre show ki Ritisha ? why ? The truth is we pick our fav, by whatever little knowledge we have about music, I’m amazed that a third grade composer and even worse singer had the audacity and the nerve to challenge Asha Bhosle that I’m givng you 4 months and dare you to , make one kishore and one Rafi. He has his reasons, bcoz he is not a genuine singer himself, how can he understand that KALA is NOT equal to roti, but food for the soul. he believes that machine corrected surs are Equally good , if not better than the REAL DEAL. so hang in there dudes and dudettes and watch the below average machine corrected singers Top the charts, while the DESERVING will sell their souls for roti, and what the heck is a voice texture and Tonal what ? 20 years back I learned that there are only 3 vocal SURs that every human is blessed with, to make to 7 is an ART ! and while millions can Sing, only a few can mix them with their soul, mussrat did it, amant did it and onik did it and now, doosre show ki Ritisha is doing it. It goes to show that no matter what happens to the machine corrected music, the music of the SOUL will somehow find its place , somewhere !

@ mehfil

Did you sprinkle some pixie dust…there’s been a sudden dramatic change in the weather where I leave …Dark clouds
It rain so heavily early in the morning over here …what have you done? Take it back …don’t wish me happy monsoon
Take it back
SAREGAMAPA IS A BEAUTIFUL SATGE. ALL THE MENTORS ARE GREAT, BUT THIS YEAR I MISS TOO MUCH MR.ISMAEL DARBAR SAHIB AND MR.VISHAL AND SHEKAR JEE A LOT. THERE WAS TOO MUCH FUN LAST YEAR, DIFFERENT THAN THIS YEAR.
@anon, mehfil, rajdeep
Great post mehfil !
I still rofl at AshaJi’s crack when she stopped one of the many “tonal quality” discussions right when it was at the hottest point, and said.. yeh log gol gol kuch baat karte hain, pata nahin kya..:-)
Music directors like Naushad saab used to compose music based on the time-of-day raaga of the song picturization. Itna dedication to we cant expect from the likes of the be-cap baadshah.
Pritam is cool coz but for him, we will be deprived of some great korean, arabic, portugese, yugoslavian, swedish etc music.
SMahadevan is the coolest coz he has genuinely given some great music lately. I still cant get over the gutiar work in “agar main kahoon” from Lakshya. I think Shankar is trained in music too. I hope he doesnt make a peanut out of himself during this show. Butting heads with the Be-cap Baadshah can cause severe brain injury.
AadeshS .. mm.. except for baghbaan I dont know which other songs he has composed. And BB had some decent numbers. So I have no opinion about him..
HimeshZee .. I like some of his compositions that are sung by other singers. The prob I have with Him as a singer is his silly forin accent that he injects in his annoying high nasal pitch.. its a sure shot way of getting on my nerve.
And the repeating the lines 3 times .. almost always.
How many aashiq banaya ?? 3 for one aapne !
Most of all, the musarrat sacrifice .. for “mera bachha”. That was a super cheap shot. Ab kya hua?? “Mera bachha” to dance kar raha hai “doosre TV show” mein.
Dockaul ji kahan hain? Yun aaye aur yun gaye !
anon
u r right
himesh ku roya?

@ Senty Anon Mehfil & Vijay - Thx for the welcome.
@ Senty - Yahin hoon .. Waiting for a suitable topic to comment upon..
@ Mehfil - One word - WOW , Do keep on Talking (?) despite admonitions from the HR of this blog
Hi Mehfil
Thanks for your comments (Containing 627 Words). I would like to say one thing in URDU
“ Bohat Zayada Bolnay Walay Ki Bohat Kam Batain Yaad Rehti Hain” like Himesh Gee.
Hamaray ass pass bohat see achi buri cheezain hoti hain jin kay saath huamain har surat rehna he hota hai. Agar hum un main sirf buri cheezon ko point out karain gay or achi cheezon ko ignore karain gay tu hamaray hisay main buraiyan zayada ayein gi. Like wise SRGMP main bohat see khoobioon kay saath kuch khamiyan b hain.
App kay comments main app nay bohat say points ko criticize kia hai
1. Inclusion of paki singers for raising TRP
2. Zee (SRGMP) just for earning money
3. Incompetent Judges
4. What about fine-art of music SUR-TAAL-LAY etc
5. KALA v/s ROTI
In the light of your experience you threw light on above points but I ve some different opinion about above points may be I am wrong and you will disagree because apkay tajarbaat main meri umar be shamil hai. I beg your pardon in advance if my views hurt you.
1. Inclusion of paki singers for raising TRP
Hamaray Mulak Pakistan main “GANA BAJANA” kissi had tak acha nahi samjha jata. New talent is being spoiled I solute ZEE and Indan Nation for promoting Paki Talent all over the word. AMANAT, MUSARAT, JUNAID, FARAZ, ZAHEER, SARA, etc ko hum nay SRGMPA say hi jana hai. If SRGMP gaining TRP in this way than we should keep in mind that it’s playing role for bringing Indo – Pak people closer.
2. Zee (SRGMP) just for earning money
What other shows are doing? Agar app ZEE TV owner hotay tu app kaya kartay?
3. Incompetent Judges
I think they are supportive enough to the contestants. Sometimes they over exaggerate the matters after all they are paid for it.
4. What about fine-art of music SUR-TAAL-LAY etc
Though I like music but I had not any concept about SUR-TAAL-LAY etc. After watching SRGMP and reading genius comments I am gaining a lot about music.
6. KALA v/s ROTI
Yaar khali pait tu muhabat be nahi hoti. Agar kissi contestant ko sirf or sirf kala (SUR) say lagao ho tu wo gayaan kay liye kissi jungal main chala jaye SRGMP main participate na kareay. Its all about money yaar. Yehi kuch hemaiesh kehta hai but hum ghalat samjhtay hain. App kaya chahtay ho kay “Ghora Ghass say dosti kar lay”
Shaied main nay bohat uot patang bol thia. Waisay app kay comments parnay kay liye HAJMOLA ki bottle pass rakhna parti hai. Hope kay app next time mujh jaiesay bohat say beginners ki khatir MUSIC FRIENDLY comments pass karain gay.
App ka SHUB CHINTAK

Abhijit is a dickhead for trying to promote Indian singers?
How many indian singers have been promoted in Pakistan so far?
He gets abused for scolding Mussarat? When he scolded Raja, Aneek and Amit nobody uttered a word! Why? Because they are indians?
Talk about hypocracy!
Rajdeep
I’m pretty agree with you but I personally believe that any person who has been given the responsibility to judge someone should not accept that responsibility if he or she are unable to do justice.
His image has already been spoiled and now the situation is even more worst after he first refused to judge Mussarat. In fact if I am more precise, as media is global and any proramme on any channel is being watched in every part of the world, so, Abhijeet infact is not only spoiling his own image but the image of INDIA too that is totally wrong. The good work done by other judges and mentors could be affected by his silly remarks and deeds, so I hope people should condemned him for ding that.
I am happy at least you again raised this issue.
thanks Umair
Thanks Fractal Image ,
Abhijit never mentioned publicly in the show that he do not want to promote pakistani singers. He told that backstage and its the media that published it intentionally to raise the TRP!
Everyone has his/her own principle/idology and we should respect that. So calling a person dickhead just because he wants to follow his principle is unwarranted!
@rajdeep
i dont give a rat’s ass what pakistan does,its not a secular country like india. what pakistan does or doesnt do is not my concern.
in MY country i dont want dickheads like abhijeet given free rein to bark hateful nonsense..
seriously though think about it, the world would be a poorer place if singers like mussarat were not in it, and if it takes india to bring out that talent so be it.. think like an effin world citizen for crissake, rather than being caught up with the narrow confines of religion and nationality..
am sure you have heard that story about the medhak in a kuuan ( well)
with best regards
anon
Well annon,
The reason India is considered as a “rat’s ass” is because of people like you.
That Gandhian policy of “if you slap my one cheek I will offer you the other” does not hold water anymore.
Yes, if we have singers like NFK, Gulam Ali I am with you. But who cares about singers like Mussarat, Atif Aslam and others? India has better singers in thousands!
Open up your eyes and see for yourself!
@ rajdeep
Bhaiya when did i say india is a rats behind? i just hate this hindu fascist ideology which abhijeet is a proponent of..
And yes gandhi ji is one of the most important indians ever, its the fundu brigade for whom his teachings dont hold importance anymore-and thats effin too bad
Looks like there is no point in having a discussion with you buddy, you have your ears and more importantly your heart closed off.
If all indians start thinking like this dickhead Abhijeet , we are in big trouble ..
My only solace is that people with this kind of warped ideology are in a minority , thank the lord..
Meanwhile mussarat ki jai ho, har har mussarat, jai mussarat di lets RAWK!
cheers
anon
PS- Atif aslam aint that bad, i have heard lot more besura singers than him, his voice suits the kind of songs he sings no?
Organizers of Saregamapa Challenge2009:
Don’t you screen the ability of Judges before they are made to sit on this platform?Who is Himesh?This Guy is total nonsense.He yells as if there no other opportunity for him to do so.Out of all the Judges this Guy thinks he is the best but should realise he is really a pain in the…He should be thrown out of this show or told to be Shut up.Let other Judges be given the chances to express their comments.

@ Fayyaz Ghafoor
I usually do not respond to OUT OF CONTEXT comments, but I Think I should try just more time to send the message across.
You are perhaps forgetting that India and Pakistan were once some 60 years back, there are atleast 2 generations of indian migrants to pakistan , still alive and still holding on to the traditions, one of which is that women folks are kept away from the lime light, needless to say that not only in pakistan, there are still a multitude of female singers/instrumentalists who are kept away from the buzz because of honor. One glaring example is the Daughter of alluddin khan sahab, Sukanya Shankar, wife of Pt. Ravi Shankar, never performed in public although it is beleived that she is way better than Ravi shankar,( they Both Learned from Ustad Allauddin Khan sahab) also she is the GURU of the worlds greatest flute player, Pt. Hari parasad chaurasia. Yes she is a house wife and to the best of my knowledge runs a music school in delhi. Also even before there was a program called SRGMP , there was a music contest on PTV, if I’m not mistaken Shazia Manzoor was the winner of that show. I can name a few more shows where kids learned the basics of music , sohail rana was the host and the kids who graduated included Nazia hasan and Afshan Ahmed and zohaib Hasan. Other than that, the msuical tradition in Pakistan goes side by side with India, while the gharanas are almost at the end in India, since India has classified them in a broader range of karnataka style, utter pradesh style, madrasi, rajhistani etc, in Pakistan they are still sticking to the tradition, to name a few, sham chaurasi gharana, Patiala gharana and Rajhistani Gharana, Mehdi hasan belongs to both Rajhistani and Patiala gharana. Amanat’s whole family from both sides is an illustrious music family, asad amant ali, hamid ali, shafqat amant ali, are all well known figures, without the help of ZEE and other programs, Thats exactly was my point was, The MUSIC of the soul will not stop, although there maybe more machine corrected singers in the future. TALENT needs no bounds, urdu mein kehte hain ki ” Khushboo ki koi sarhad nahin hoti”. and surely when Mussarat sings, it engulfs the entire subcontinent. Sure music is bringing India and Pakistan closer, but look at this, I am sorry I have to say that, do you even have a film industry in pakistan where you can accommodate so much talent ? except for churning out some punjabi , a fewer pushtu and and even fewer sindhi movies, there is no future for urdu/ Hindi songs in pakistan ( Oh well time changes, may be someday ! ), but on the other hand, there always was, and there always will be future for ghazal singing, classical and semi classical music in both of our great countries. I can go as far as to say that Ghazal singing in Pakistan has an edge compared to India, (Jagjit sing, has brought it at par ) Instead of saluting ZEE, Id rather salute those small pockets of traditional tutelage, from where comes some great talent, shafqat, amanat, shujaat are a few examples.the out come of the result of SRGMP doesnt really matter, for if it was not SRGMP, amant was already singing in Pakistan in a band called mekkal hasan. I guess that jitna bura gana bajana ko tumharay yahan samjha jata “THA”, utna hi India mein bhi samjha jata “THA”, traditional indian family only allowed females to sing Bhajans only, and I’m sure in the north, it is still considered BAD to join the film Industry. BUT, The entire psychology of the subcontinent is changing, the question Why when we share the same sky, the same earth and the same language ( sara raza khan ), we are not ONE, is something that we should look forward to, it may have offended a few in Pakistan and a few in India, but Like I said, a Few will always be against the GOOD, that FEW dont make a difference, but the innocence of One paki girl Surely CAN make a difference, because she is speaking from her heart and is beyond all racism. I look forward to that change, if Germany can Unite again, so can India and pakistan, it takes a FEW GOOD ONES like yourself, I sincerely dream of the day when ustad Fateh Ali khan will sings Malcouns with Pt. Jasraj in Jugalbandi.

2. Zee is a COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATION.
If I were the OWNER of zee, I would definitely change the panel of judges and bring in REAL MUSIC MAESTROS, in fact if you have seen the early SREGAMA shows hosted by Sonu Nigam, the judges were always the MAESTROS.
Also the commercialization of Music is going to produce some third grade lyrics, even crude music, and a repetition of one liners, listen to any songs of Himesh and you will know what I mean.
I think I wil skip the other questions for now.
I’m sorry but you might have to keep 2 bottles of Hajmola with you, if you intend to read this, record bhi tou durust rakhna padta hai na !

@ Fayyaz Ghafoor
BTW, tere are 882 words in the above post !
@annon,
I was right. People like you put words into others’ mouth just to make your point.
You said ” just hate this hindu fascist ideology which abhijeet is a proponent of..”
If you have cared to read the interview you would have noticed that Abhijit praised Raja 3 times!
In an earlier interview also (srgmp lil champs 06) he said that ows everything to a muslim friend of his.
But you call him a hindu fascist!
You have every right to be a fan of Mussarat,as I have the right to consider him a mediocore singer, but don’t dare to insult the hindus for that
Mehfil,
Good point. Just one observation though…
You mentioned “Daughter of alluddin khan sahab, Sukanya Shankar”… actually her name is Annapurna Devi and she did play publicly in West Bengal before her divorce with Pt. Ravi Shankar
@ rajdeep
i dont care if abhijeet is trying to camouflage his islamophobia by paying lip service to Raja hasan, the muslims in india dont need his condescending stamp of approval .
i dont insult hindus, i insult hindu fundamentalists, in the same way as i insult muslim fundamentalists.. all fundamentalists are the same - whether they belong to one religion or the other..
indians are very tolerant by nature and its scum like abhijeet who gives us a bad name..
bottomline dear rajdeep is-if u support abhijeet then u r opposed to having pakistanis in this show, if so i have nothing further to discuss with you, all channels of communication should henceforth be considered disconnected..
@ mehfil
wah wah kya baat kahee hai, now only if log padhe aur apne bheje mein daale to baat hogi.. will get back later
Hmm.. Interesting… guess its my turn now.
let me add a shiny copper penny ..
Disclaimer : I’m jus a poor ol sol trying to make peace here.. dont yell at me if you dont like it. I am rambling in a hurry coz I gotta go n cook for the clan …
I view it this way… for many of us, music is an art. Ek kala hai.. for others music is business. Matlab, not in a bad way, but you know.. koi koi khaali pet mohabbat nahin kar sakta.. to koi koi mohabbat mein bhuko bhi mar sakta hai.. dono apne apne jagah pe sahi hain. Its the level of interest, involvment, commitment, respect even, one has towards the music one listens to, or creates.
I cant look at a singer and go..ok, he is from Bogota, she is from Nigeria and then decide how I want to go about liking or disliking the song. But many folks I personally know, do that. They like a song until they come to know it is sung by so and so..and then “o jeez .. you wont catch me listing to that song again !”
I brought up Naushad saab in an earlier post. We have heard this a gzillion times before .. ki 3 musalmaan log, Naushad, Rafi and Sahir created the ever popular bhajan “Man darpat hari darshan ko aaj” from Baiju Bawra. It captures the essense of what I am trying to say. When they created the bhajan, they created a piece of art. Something any true music lover of India can refer to and feel proud to be an Indian.
But these examples are very rare and very precious.
Abhijit is right in sticking to his principles (or not) .. coz he has a pet (I mean stomach) to feed. And a pocket to fill. I am not saying it in a bad way. He has every right to take care of his interests. Insecurity may be a factor in his reaction to Pak singers. Whatever. We have to respect his feelings. But, having said that, he need not have gone public with his thoughts. He did tell Musarrat direct to his face on the show, ki - I wont judge you, you may take marks from Ahmed. It was hecka embarrasing to watch that.
My only big complaint about this whole episode is that Abhijit has created a situation that will forever put Indian judgement of a pak singer in such reality shows under a cloud. Ab dekhna har baat pe humgama hoga. Zee ka hi nahin, iss blog ka TRP bhi badhega.
I said ki “Abhijit is right in sticking to his principles (or not)” coz he did compromise on his principles when he retained his judge job. Get me? He needs the job… To hell with principles.
See, heres where I am disappointed with Abhijit. I would have respected him more had he jus quit.
I like musarrat coz he sings with hecka lot of feeling. If you notice, he has a glazed look on his face when he sings. Ek dumm feel se gaata hai. Its a treat to watch him. I do agree that many times lo notes hil jaate hain usske. But usske “joner” ke gaane mein .. he is THE mega mind blower.
@Mehfil
Great post dude!
P.S : Mere post ke liye haajmola nahin, ek bottle goli-soda kaafi hai…nimbu maarke.
@annon,
Again putting words in others mouths…
“then u r opposed to having pakistanis in this show, ”
I already said that if singers are like NFK and Gulam Ali I support them whole heartedly, but I don’t support bringing in mediocore singers when we have so much talent in India who are waiting for a break!
Read before you comment!
Dear Mehfil

@ALL
This is what Himesh/Zee will say to all of us.
“You all are living in a dream world”. You want excellent talent, quality singers. This used to happen in th 90’s when it was SaReGaMa. It was a different Program SaReGaMa.
The present show is SaReGaMaPa.
SaReGaMaPa - Pa - for paid for, Pa for Paisa, Pa for Partiality. Our title claims what the show is about.
Hence please stop blaming us, just watch the show & vote. Leave the rest to us.
