Rock Gharana:

Jennice sings Hawa Hawaii from Mr. India.. Singer - Kavita Krishnamoorthy.. MD - Lakshmikant Pyaarelal..

Shankar asks Kavita to sing few lines.. Kavitaji sings and Shankar says, “Mogambo khush hua”..

Comments:

Shankar - I was kind of disappointed.. It was totally Haywire.. You have to work hard on pitching..

Pritam - This was not the best performance.. There were no clarity in words.. You have been much better in your previous performances..

Aadesh - Your voice quality is definitely unique.. But what to do with voice quality when there is no singing.. Concentrate on that..

Himesh - You have a unique quality in your voice which suites certain type of songs.. That quality can make you reach heights.. Just follow what even these mentors have said..

Jennice - I am doing Hindi songs only after coming to saregamapa, otherwise I used to sing only english songs… Himesh says, Dont leave that practice because thats your asset.. and asks her to sing few lines of an english song and she does that well…

Kavita - You should do a beautiful sangam between Indian and Western singing.. That will make a completely a new genre for you where you can do magic..

Khayyamji - Just follow Kavita and the mentors.. That will definitely benefit you…

Lakshya Gharana:

Tarun sings Saason ki mala pe simrun main… Singer - Kavita Krishnamoorthy. MD - Rajesh Roshan..

Comments:

Aadesh - You have an originality in your voice..

Himesh - This is not one of your best performance.. Just do your best next time..

Pritam - You sing for god and I have always noted the connection with god in your voice.. But that was little less today..

Shankar - You have to do more breathing exersices.. You were loosing breathe often..

Kavitaji - This song has suited your voice.. This style suited your voice.. I loved it..

Khayyamji - All the guru’s and Kavithaji have said it right.. You will be promising and great singer..

Aditya says, we have heard that you have bunked the colleges for recording songs.. Kavita asks, tell me who is one musician or singer who has not bunked the class during college.. Aadesh says.. I have never bunked my college.. Kavita is surprised about this and then Aadesh says, This is because I have never gone to college LOL

Dhoom gharana

Prachi Shah sings kya tumne hain kehdiya.. Singer - Kavita Krishnamoorthy. MD - Zakir Hussain..

Debojit Dutta sings Tu hi re.. Singer - Kavita Krishnamoorthy and Hariharan.. MD - AR Rehman..

Comments:

Shankar - Debojit, you sang well.. When you started of this song, I was afraid.. God is with you.. Prachi, you were little less in form.. Sur bahut chada hua thaa..

Aadesh - Debojit, I thought you sang only for god.. I will pray for you that you reach heights.. Prachi - Beginning se hi, sur chada hua thaa..

Himesh - Debojit - He is one who can beat 100 people.. Prachi, the performance was very average…

Debojit says, I have always been fan of Himesh’s melodious compositions and would like to sing few lines.. he sings Tere dil ka mere dil se rishta purana hain… Himesh goes on stage and tells, he is a very emotional person and he will make others also emotional.. I pray from heart that you be the winner..

Pritam - Prachi, your performance standard has increased.. So, that is missing today.. Debojit, There is some connection with god and if you loose the connection.. Debojit promises Pritam that he will never loose the dillagi.. Himesh says, that Dillagi is basically purity.. You have a purity in you..

Kavita - Prachi, The song you chose is very stylish song and maybe you couldn’t bring that style.. Debojit, You didnt copy Hariharan.. That was the best part.. You sang really well… (She even spoke in Bengali) Shocked

Aditya says, Debojit’s parents have come and are sitting within the audience.. He asks how come he is so pure.. Debojit’s father says. We dont know, but one thing we know that he can never tell lies.. His mother says, “This is just god’s gift”..

Kavita shares an experience with us.. She says, her first song was a memorable experience.. She had to sing along with Latadi and after Latadi’s part, she had to sing while kavitaji forgot that she had to sing.. Latadi removed her reading glasses and gave her a smile.. Hemantda was the music director and he asked what happened and Kavita said, she forgot to sing the lines.. It was a great experience..

Aditya asks how she felt receiving the Padma Shri award.. She says, “I got a call on 25th Jan which also happened to be my birthday.. They asked if I am ready to accept the Padma Shri award and I was really thrilled to accept it”…

Jai Ho gharana:

Deepali sings Key sera sera.. Singer - Kavita and Shankar Mahadevan.. MD - AR Rehman..

Shankar picks up the mike and calls Kavitaji on stage.. They are joined by other contestants as well.. They all sing the song.. Shankar and Kavita have a jugal bandi… Its awesome ClapClap

Pritam - I liked the performance.. Shankar and kavitaji later on sang

Himesh - After hearing your song, Shankar, Kavitaji and other contestants song, I can just say onething - Saregama is amazing..

Shankar - You sang it beautifully.. Congratulations and god bless.

Aadesh - The classical training has helped you a lot to sing such a difficult song..

Kavitaji - In Himeshji’s style, Fantastic, fabulous, mindblowing, outstanding..

Khayyamji - If one has a training in the classical music, she can sing any song in this world…

Shashi Suman sings sunta hain mera khuda.. Singers - Kavita and Udit Narayan.. MD - AR Rehman..

Comments:

Himesh - I always say that he is a person with a quality of being a winner.. He is definitely in top three..

Pritam - There was a liveliness in the song.. You sang it very well..

Shankar - You were very inspired by Udit Narayan.. You sang it very well..

Aadesh Goes on stage and says, I do agree that you were inspired.. But I do believe that you will be the winner..

Kavita - You are a fine singer.. Whatever song you sing, there will always be an above average performance..

Khayyamji - You were very good.. But there is always a scope for improvement.. Sitaaron se jahaan aur bhi hain…

Results:

Among girls.. Deepali is In..

Jennice starts crying.. Kavita says.. Why are you loosing your confidence before itself?? She says, I have sacrificed a lot.. Saregamapa is very important to me.. Himesh says, “Mahagurus are always right and you have to accept their decision”.. Kavita says - Till when you have the faith and confidence in god, you shouldn’t loose heart.. There is always light in the end of the tunnel..

Khayyamji gives In for Jennice… She starts crying on stage.. So, Prachi gets eliminated…

Kavitaji says, Do give a big round of applause for Prachi.. She has not let down a tear..

Pritam says.. This is a complete double standard that we are maintaining.. Today’s performance of Jennice was completely out of sur.. One time we are saying that sur is important and the other time we concentrate on voice quality..

Himesh - I completely agree with you.. Maybe we should confirm that on what basis the whole decision was taken.. Let kavitaji confirm this for us so we all get a clear idea..

kavita - We have given points based on today’s performance.. Based on which they have sung today.. Hawaa Hawaai, gave me some positivity.. The whole approach of the song was great..

Himesh confirms that They have not given the decision based on english song… He also adds that point of view will change because the Mahagurus get changed as well…

Khayyamji - I didnt like the use of the word double standard … Pritam says, he did not use that word for him… Shankar and Aadesh also support Pritam and say, its because of the discussion we have every week… Khayyamji says we are not criticizing their performance.. You better go and see the recorded part and you will know what mistake you have done.. Pritam asks apology though he didnt mean to say about the judgment of the Mahagurus, but he used this double standard for what they are discussing every week..

Himesh says, we had a decision based on sur last round and this round its overall performance thats more because of the point of views that change from a person to another..

Among Boys:

Shashi is In… Decision for Tarun - It has become very difficult to judge especially among the boys… Khayyamji - We definitely dont want to say, who is out.. Debojit is In..

Tarun gets eliminated

Tarun - I know that whatever guru says, is true.. Whatever you say, I will accept it.. Khayyam sahib also thinks you are a very good singer..

Shankar - Everyone knows what you are capable of and you will sing a song for me Smile

Among Prachi and Tarun - Tarun gets the Sanjivani bhooti…

Moment of the day - Kavitaji singing Hawa Hawaaii..
