    Dude you have no idea of ground reality. Those who come from Pkatan(we can make out from their appearance) are well fed and belong to an elite starta of society. They are rich and wlel connected that’s why they are here.
    Can we say the same about fareed who is struggling to put body and soul together? can we say same about shahsi who is from a poor stae and yet is so beautifully tarined?
    Tjhis show has lost all its symbolicvalue. After sureela singers like Aneek, raja and poonam this year we will ahve an UNDESERVING singer as winner

    Out of rmeaioning only naina nd pratibha ACTUALY deserve title. their main comp. are all eliminated- shahsi, arshad, mansiha, sayon, fareed

      “Those who come from Pkatan(we can make out from their appearance) are well fed and belong to an elite starta of society. They are rich and wlel connected that’s why they are here.”

      Maybe. Good for them. Why do I care ?

      I have no interest in knowing whoz rich whoz poor. This is a regular musical talent show and thats all I am willing to treat it as. I care about the performances and I base my comments soley on that. I started out as a Sunvinder fan in the intro round. In all fairness to the other contestants today, Sunvinder sang badly. Thats it. One bad performance unfortunately. So was Arshad. It was obvious.

      Shashi’s elimination looks unfair. Shashi is an awesome singer.. again my fav. But he was a bit shaky with the “Dil se” ARR song. Its a very tough song to sing, needs a LOT of energy, passion to sing it … and Shashi could not nibhao the song at that level. It was a wrong choice of song. But I do hope he comes back. Infact he is the strongest amongst the returnees. I dont remember the other names in the Brahm* round .. Asma is a poor choice for sure. Maybe she is coming in for some added viewership to see what new funny stuff she brings to the show.

      Patriotism is a very heavy, pure and sacred word. I will never bring it up in this forum. Sorry.

        I think people should stop bullshitting about India Pakistan crap… Both the countries are same somehow, when it comes to terrorism and same is the case when it comes to Music. Lets not go there at all…

        I feel sad about the format of the show…i have no idea what is on zee tv mind.. i personally felt bad when shashi got eliminated as well as sunwinder… they are indeed good singer…

        I am a Pakistani and i support music rather than passing bad comments on people or countries… If i was the judge, i would have personally eliminated faraz and sara..now for heaven sake stop this racism !

        to racist people ! fcuk off !

        indians/Pakistan singers dont go to other countries becuz they need a career or fame… they do well in their own respected countries..but it is those music directors and good people who try to fill up the gap and bring people from neighbours together… if pakistani are singing in india….then my dear friends indians are singing in pakistan as well… its the same./..just to try and fill the gap we have becuz of our corrupt politicians… dont forget we all belong to the same roots and we all r same one way or another ! so stop this fcuking racism and work out to bridge the gaps we have….

        we cannot remove our neighbours …. and pakistan and india are going to be neighbours forever no matter what… we are only giving chance to outsiders to come and bullshit us and endanger our love n harmony… just realize this becuz im your pakistani fellow and gonna remain yr fellow till my death…and same is the case for indians…

        rather than fighting each other …we should fight the cause thats making us fight each other ! hatred isnt gonna do us any good but to make us weak so that other can happily watch these two power fight !

        saregamapa is about music… so lets just let it be for music….

        it was a mistake by zee calling these maha gurus for such musical formats …they should have been called for ghazal/classical rounds not rock music…. obviously they dont understand the rock/rnb..how possibly they can judge the kids better ?

          Wow, I love to read everything BUT MUSIC !!!

          Its so ironic that, instead of getting the point, people here are actually running away with the argument, Senty said the right thing from anybodys perspective , That is anybody who is not brain dead, yes, a million times yes, I remember debojit from SRGMP2006, I saw him a couple of months back in a Tvshow, literally bagging for work, he said and I quote” I’m waiting for a break for the last 2 years, but bhagwan ne chaha tou aik din merey liye bhi kisi studio ka darwaza khulayga”, that is enough for any sane person to cry a heart out, what it does not tell you is the amount of frustration, fatigue and low esteem that you live with AFTER winning the contest and being DECLARED the WINNER, you are still looking to make it a career, is it too much to THINK for a winner ? but yeah the show ends ( and it WILL END !) and then whether the it is the RICH paksitani, or the poor Indian, both of them will be in the line for a break, even for a third grade movie, Pakistan film industry is pathetically RETARDED, and I would like to know if any of the contestants from SRGMP, or any other reality show have had a break in Paki films, the only way they can survive being a PLAYBACK SINGER, is by releasing their own albums, and their own covers, as for the poor indian, there is a dilemma, Raja hasan the 2nd runner up, still sings in a hotel to make ends meat, most of them WINNERS from Indian Idol, SRGMP and VOI will forever be standing in the line for a BREAK and guess what ? for some of them, this door will never open, and I’m not saying that because I’m God or a maha giyani guru, its just COMMON SENSE that tell tells me that 2+2 will never make 5, bcoz with almost a dozen Winners coming out of these shows every year,and a whole bunch of them getting a break coming from the back door ( dont tell me there is no back door, if I remember correctly, rahat fateh ali, atif, teh Fat guy, and even ghulam ali were not the winners of any show ! ) there is hardly any ROOM for them to get a break, most of them will be singing in private parties, hotels and at the most in theri regional languages, there is a whole bunch of them getting a Ticket to ride based solely on their outstanding TALENT, mussarat abbass was outstanding, but I guess not as outstanding as to get a BIG break into indian films, yes there are a lot of them whose career as singers was nipped in the bud by these partial gurus. the list goes on and the complaints are endless, but yet again we are only talking about everything BUT MUSIC, industry is NOT music, it feeds Music, and singers and musicians, and when somebody promises a contestant ,” You will sing for my next film” I smile, becasue I know , somewhere that MENTOR is not very sure if he himself is getting a NEXT film. The bottom line is that its a fast paced world, I will give my eys to someone who remembers the names of contestants from SRGMP 2005, you dont and its simply being human, we are watching these shows for our FUN and OUR ENTERTAINMENT, the emotions and heart breaks are temporary, “show khatam, paisa hajam”, tomorrow, you will forget about the contestants , debojit WHO ? and Amanat Who ?

          On a side not, I’d like to read somebody talking about MUSIC alone, or atleast some meaningful comments like Rajdeep, or Senty and Dockaul, or a dr.aamir. If it has to be about India VS Pakistan, I would rather watch Kiyounki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi, because, whether its indian or Paki that win the contest, they are still nothing more than a Nowhere Man !!

            Oops, I forgot to mention, Poonam yadav from SRGMP 2007 got a Job in RAILWAYS, thanks to Lalu ji, she will surely be singing in railway functions, and some shaadi waadi, but poonam making it BIG in indian films, hmmm, the chances are slim to none, but hey the show Goes On !

              Senty’s post are always a breath of fresh air … please keep it a singing competition (may be at least in thsi forum).

              Naina! WOW … if any girl could win saregamapa this year, its her … uss ka gala nahi gata, uss ki aatmaa gati hai … This girl and Rithisha from VOI will be the 2 finds of this year and hopefully will be singing professionaly soon …

              Pratibha is a good singer but not outstanding, im not sure why is she getting such reviews (or may be i have missed some of her preformances) …

              Kaushik is warming up … havent heard him that much … i think he only sang twice … i believe he has potential to sing ‘marhaba’ better than he did today.

              Hats off to Aadesh sahib for all these wondeful compositions … i really didnt know he has contributed that much … Not a fan of his in terms of Atif bashing (more about this topic sometime later :))

              sunvinder started off with an excellent sexy/mellow voice but somehow was not able to maintain that. costed him his place in the competition …

              i think arshad naturally has this ‘husky’ voice, which was thought to be a sore throat … i sincerely think he should have stayed in competition … but then again, if shashi can go out then he can too …

              faraz really was outstanding … the song he chose is my all time fav and he did justice to it … im not sure why is he downplayed some of the times … i think he has got great tonal quality and in great sur … probably consistancy is his flaw …

              Zaheer could have sung the song much much better … he really missed the whole soul of the song … Amanat in previous program sung the same song much better … although zaheer did good in ‘challa’ part of the song …

              I am not a big fan of sara but today was her best performance of the season … great use of murkis and meends but uses her head voice …

              Mitika … at last she sang a complete song in her natural tone of voice … good song and nicely rendered … but as the original was sung by sukhwinder, comparison with original made some problems … i dont think she is arrogant or snobish .. may be thats her style … but who knows :)

              I hope i am not missing anyone … i have posted an alternate link for 30 aug videos … i wonder why isnt admin posting videos. perhaps busy ….

              logo .. please larayee jhagra na karo … surron say muhabbatein baanto … peace …

                Guys! Have you seen 30th August episode. I don’t see it posted on the site!

                • At 2008.08.31 14:25, Harjeet said:

                  Excellent performance by Naina, Kaushik and Sara. Har Har MahaDev. Deepali was impressive. It was certainly Sara’s best performance so far…EXCELLENT ….she has fantastic classical background. I don’t know whether anyone of you have noticed that Sara smiles all the time even while singing …I like the way she calls her mum “MAMMA”…I like Naina’s smile too…very sweet. Among the ladies Mitika was the weakest. I don’t think she’ll last that long. I suspect there will be a tough fight between Naina and Sara 

                  Zaheer was not up to mark today…but I still liked his performance but it was nothing compared to Amanat’s version. I’m sure he’ll bounce back in no time.

                  Sardar Ji should have been eliminated long ago…no offence people….KavithaKrishM should have eliminated him and Not Farraz …wrong decision don’t believe go watch both episodes . Can’t wait to hear Farraz sing more classical songs ….will suit his voice perfectly .

                  ARSHAAD should be back in the competition. I like this Apun’s attitude. Wow Aasma is back….must have taken intensive Hindi courses….he….he…he 

                  BTW why did they change the theme for the second group? Shouldn’t it be consistent?

                  HimeshR you are really FUNNY.

                      @Mehfil ,
                      On a side note here are some news…

                      1.Annek’s music album “KHWAISHEIN” is getting released is September. He also sang for Vishal Shekhar in the film Kabootar and two other Bengali films (one with Sumedha). He is now hosting Saregama Bengali.

                      3. Raja also made a song with Vishal Shekhar.
                      4. Debojit (challenge 2005) works as an asiistant music director with Pritam (since 2003) and he will definitely get a break with Pritam. Vishal Shekhar also promised him a break.

                          thanxs jamshid,harjeet for posting the alternate link.i dont know why the videos werent uploaded?may be its like the captain has left the ship while the passengers are still there :)fayyaz je it was nice to hear from you too.please can anybody tell me that why they are eliminating like this?this year’s saregama makes me feel that either its director is too overconfident or want people to shun the show just to end it.its too hard to digest.and pls somebody wake up the moderator so next time onwards they do upload the reviews and video?or the eliminations too much and show too confusing that moderators are finding it hard too to handle.

                              @mehfil

                              I think you are from pakistan and don’t know the relaity of these ocntestants. most of tjem are doing good work. Poeple like debojit(2005 winner), aneek, sumedha, himani, rahul vaidya, harshit saxena, abhaas are all able to improve their lifestyles. Nihira has done many plyabcks. a poor person like toshi is able to earn for his family after this show.
                              all the FINALISTS gte work(those who come till top 12) Indian idol 3 fianlists are still singing at functions and shows abroad. eg- amit paul, emon, deeplai and winner prashant. Thye are able to afford things theyw ere not able before. so plz don’t make statemenst before knwing

                              Also that’s why i want shahsi in top 12 at least. only those who come till voting stage get work. not those who get eliminated before

                              • At 2008.08.31 16:10, Pari said:

                                Not only those who win like aneek and ishmeet and prashant, but even those who come till top 12 get work. its simple. Thye are called to sing at shows abroad. Vineet singh, first runner up, said in an interview today he is able to look after his mother and father. Rahul vaidya said he earned a big car and house after coming 3′rd in indian idol 1

                                Toshi’s brothewr sharib is comosing for a film. small town girl antara mitra is now able to afford her hown flat in Mumbai and is looked after by anand raj anand. Pritam signed anwesha and aishwarya finalists of chote ustaad for his films. Raja hassan, himani kapoor, sumedha, aneek and amit paul alal got offers in pkayback. Monali thakur from indian idol 2 sang ‘zara zara’ from race and won regnotion. she was 9′th in the show
                                Nihira, debojit, deepali all are geting work. little jayant got his eyesight cured after coming out of chote ustaad. Hrashit saxena and irfan from VOI have sung in big films

                                so chekc your facts before sepaking

                                all thsoehwo come to final 12 get work for a yaer and then ’survibval of fiitest’. talent wins. so at least shahsi/pratibha/nanina will not sit without work if we vote tjhem

                                    Shashi shouldn’t be eliminated, he’s a very good singer. I’m a ardent Ghulam Ali fan and like Suresh Wadhker’s singing but this was a wrong judgment. I believe Suresh Wadhkar couldn’t go against Ustad Ghulam Ali’s decision. I hope I’m wrong in this. Why is Aditya calling Shujat ‘ustadon ke ustad’? If so why is he participating in a musical contest? From the very beginning he was missing sur, feel etc. Only on saturday 30th aired in Europe) he’s singing was slightly better than his previous. He’s a contestant just like the others no matter what ‘gharana in Pakistan’ he comes from. The ‘mahagurus’ are selected for the wrong episodes. Ghulam Ali Khan will not eliminate the pakistani contestants selected by himself. It’s so unfair. I hate the drama’s on stage and the loud drum sound for TRP. All the pakistani’s or people badmouthing Indians should learn a lesson or two from Indians (India) for hospitatilty, giving chance to explore their talent, earn fame, name and money in India: the ghazal singers, classical singers, pop/rock, music directors/producers/filmdirectors, filmstars, tv actors, fashion designers/models and many may more. I’ve been many times to both the countries and I know the difference very well.
                                    Religion issue can never be solved, specially hindu-muslim.
                                    It’s good to be friends with your neighbouring countries. But it’s very sad that India & Pakistan can never become friends until Kashmir matter is not solved. Let’s hope for the best. Fingers crossed. Hindostani’s (Indian roots)all over the world are hindostani first then the country they belong to. That’s why we all look the same.
                                    One more thing. Aditya’s dress sence is very very bad. Bad hairstyle (looks 15), except Rock episode) bad color combination, wrong shoes. The Rock episode was more like slow songs episode.

                                      He was eliminated once by Ashaji and now again by SW and GA.
                                      Do you think you have more music knowledge than these people?

                                        @ Sara,

                                        Huh ? did you say “Improve their lifestyles ” ? did I hear it correctly ? Wow, you are really so far fetched from the reality here, is it about improving their life styles or is it about being a playback singer ? ( a singer in a hotel or a variety program is called a performer, not a playback singer, FYI !)

                                        list One song each by these BIG names you listed so arrogantly in your post, you contradicted yourself by saying that “Monali thakur from indian idol 2 sang ‘zara zara’ from race and won recognition. she was 9′th in the show”, I was only talking about how the industry WORKS, and you proved it beyond a reasonable doubt that somebody who stands 9th in the show gets a break , but the person WINNING the contest is still PERFORMING abroad and in small time projects, if you go through the list by rajdeep , you will notice that Only a chosen FEW have been able to MAKE IT BIG( I wish I could increasy the size of “Big” to 127 point !

                                        You missed the Point completely and just like I said in my post ran away with the argument, I was only trying to say that india pakistan talk here is worth 0.00 cents , but you had the audacity to brand me a pakistani, just to Incite me, FYI I abhor regionalism and communalism. I’m a mumbaikar !

                                        Before you jump the gun, let me tell you I’m done with arguing with you, I do not know you and therefore have no intention of butting heads with you, however, if there is anything in this post that sounds offending, please accept my apologies for that in advance.

All three of them have some MINDBLOWING songs to their credit post SRGMP & we can only hope & pray the same happens to Amanat Mussarat & Poonam.

                                                    How many pakistani friends do you have or do know personally and have interacted with them ?

                                                    The answer to both questions is ‘none’

                                                    You both are a victim of systematic brain washing through a policy of alienation.

                                                    You both are suffering from something called ‘xenophobia’.

                                                          jeez. you guys are so RACIST!!!

                                                          have you heard the idea of COEXISTING IN PEACE???

                                                          if the pakistani contestants are to be eliminated, they should be eliminated PURELY ON GROUNDS OF MUSICAL TALENT and NOT on country of origin!
                                                          similarly, if they win, they should be winning PURELY ON GROUNDS OF MUSICAL TALENT and NOT on country of origin!

                                                          just because your favorite was eliminated, and the pakistanis remained doesn’t mean that you people have any right to hate pakistani people!

                                                          similarly, to anti-indians, if the indian contestants are to be eliminated, they should be eliminated PURELY ON GROUNDS OF MUSICAL TALENT and NOT on country of origin!
                                                          similarly, if they win, they should be winning PURELY ON GROUNDS OF MUSICAL TALENT and NOT on country of origin!

                                                          fyi i am an indian. go ahead and blast me with not being patriotic, etc.
                                                          i’m all for patriotism. however, there is a line between “being patriotic” and “being racist”.

                                                          i live in a country where multi-racial and multi-religious harmony is much promoted. and i am very happy that i don’t blindly hate people from any country due to such shallow reasons!

                                                          oh, for people who say that pakistan doesn’t allow indian artistes, etc, learn from the saying that TWO WRONGS DON’T MAKE A RIGHT!
                                                          it’s pakistan’s choice on whether to allow indian artistes in or not.
                                                          similarly, it’s the producing team’s choice to audition pakistani singers.
                                                          just because pakistan doesn’t allow indian artistes doesn’t mean we should do the same!
                                                          by saying this, you people are doing a great injustice to the talent in pakistan.
                                                          this show is about MUSIC. music crosses all boundaries. i couldn’t care less if the winner of this contest is pakistani or indian, as long as he is the BEST and he is the most DESERVING.
                                                          of course this VARIES from person to person. it is not possible to have a winner, or to have a final 12, that 100% of the audience likes because everyone is different!

                                                          so people, please do NOT be racist, and keep india-pakistan relations out of this music-related show!
                                                          thank you!

                                                                      Yes there are a lot of good things about this show, they are bringing india and Pakistan closer and secondly they are a commercial organization for them it really doesnt matter if a Shashi is out or a sunvinder is in, fo rthem waht really matters is the TRP, and they will make sure that people keep watching the show and filling in their pockets. Do you have any idea how much money do they make every week ? by selling PRIME TIME ADS, voting Cut, and promoting guests ? ney, its way beyond your imagination. its TONS of money, they really dont care about music, they care about $$.

                                                                                              Last season Mussarat & Amanat gave millions of Indians unforgettable performances.You insult a brother country, you demean a living legend for no justifiable cause.
                                                                                              Do u seriously beleive SRGMP producers have eliminated Indian contestants for favouring Pakistanis ? How many Indians do you think will vote for an unknown Pakistani singer to be brought back without any feelings of Regionalism involved. No passion means no moolah to the Mandarins of Zee. Hence this devious design to eliminate brilliant Indian singers. Be prepared to see AV’s of crowds in their respective states agitating, Effigies being burnt, Lotsa chest thumping regionalism & then the belated decision to include the eliminated singers through public voting.
                                                                                              U sir, have callously insulted a kid, Sara,for following the tenets of her relegion & refusing to wear revealing dresses coz of her tehzeeb. Is that such a bad thing? Does she become a fanatic by refusing to reveal?
                                                                                              Sir!By your crass incendiary comments you will only succeed in further dividing the two neighbors. A barrage of hate mail will follow from both sides & vitiate the atmosphere of this blog , which used to a forum for music lovers to come & discuss their fave. performances. Do desist from such uncouth language in future.

I an industry a Pakistani supervisor supervises Indian people and they don’t talk racist because they don’t have time for all this crapp so you people go work or make new friends and let the singers sing. Both countries have same background and who knows abhjit’s and atif aslam’s great great grandfathers were brothers. So be kind and let the peace run this world.

                                                                                                                I have nothing against pakistanis but I do feel shahsi, arshad and sunvinder wee much better , rounded and versatile singer than shujat and zahee. i like faraaz butt

                                                                                                                • At 2008.09.01 15:13, Pallavi said:

                                                                                                                  But some of the eliminations this week left me shocked. manisha, shahsi, arshad were the ONLY ones who can give some comp. to naina and pratibha. Shashi, naina and pratibha were the best. its very sad to see shahsi go

                                                                                                                  Are we ignoring the talent in our own country? Is it fair? we are a country over one billion and half our population is in poverty. Do we actually hav the RESOURCES to give charity to other countries? WHY DON’T THESE SO CALLED LIBERAL SOULS THINK ABOUT THAT. you people- ahve you done something for your own country? I work with a NGO which teaches underpriviledged kids. BUT MOST OF YOU RICH INDIANS THINK YOU ARE LIBERAL AND TOLERANT, and sympathize with paksitanis but whenit comes to injustice doled out to your own country men you turn ablind eye. when we cannot provide work to our own country, why on earth should we do so 2 other nations? At the expense of those 4 paki singers, we could have had fareed, sahshi, sunvinder and arshad. these 4 are here to make acareer. what shame that these rich indian brats(some of them) think little of their own country men and that getting into top 12 could ahve solved fareed’s rent problems once and for all. everyone knows top 12 get work, and not thsoe hwo get eliminated b4 that

                                                                                                                  • At 2008.09.03 10:15, Harjeet said:

                                                                                                                          I am not a hypocrite like you!

                                                                                                                            O pulleeees .. dont even look at these repulsive posts that want to put down one to make the other look that much taller ! Its a good idea to just ignore the c*rap that puts down someone in the name of watwasthat …??? “Patriot” ! Jeez gimme a break !

                                                                                                                            If Shashi is too good to be voted out..Anupama is too bad to be still in. Looks like most so-called “shashi supporters” here dont give a ratsbehind if Shashi wins or loses.. Shashi is just an excuse for some cheap fun here in this forum.

                                                                                                                            Wow.. looks like some noble folks here work for NGOs .. good for them ! I wish they also had the heart to look beyond an invisible border for the sake of some silly singing competition !
                                                                                                                            I hope such folks who are hard(ly)working@NGOs are not looking at the personal files of every kid first to make sure they are serving the appropriate jaat, prant, pedigree, lineage …!

                                                                                                                            Many of us “RICH” indians are richer in ideologies, thoughts and gotta cute pink heart too.. I am proud to be a RICH Indian. Us RICH Indians dont talk cheap, and we keep the image of our beautiful country intact, in the eyes of the rest of the world.
                                                                                                                            Go RICH Indians !!

                                                                                                                            BTW, the “poor” indians in this forum dont watch “Voice Of India? What about the good talent that was booted out in favor of some notsogood ones? Any NGOs working towards this injustice??

                                                                                                                            Regarding Shashi.. ok.ok.. he is a good singer.. but not SO good that he should come back on a special horse. Come on, float a petition… Stop everything around your lives and vote for him to come back in that astra shastra round or whatever …

                                                                                                                            For Sunvinder or Shashi to shine, its not necessary to slander Faraz or Shujjat and VICE VERSA. Agar inmein baat hai to woh apne aap nikharke aayenge. Of the Pak singers I think Sara and Shujjat are way better than Faraz or Zaheer. Its a personal choice. Nothing right or wrong about it. Lets see if F or Z can do better in future rounds. I will change my list then.

                                                                                                                            Its so funny how some ppl come at you like “how can you say Shashi is better than Faraz..” or such.
                                                                                                                            Can we have a royal LOL for that one please !
                                                                                                                            As far I know, there is no written rule anywhere in this world that says you should like ONLY pizza and NOT a pancake.

                                                                                                                            For whatever reason there is no site management going on. It could be a personal emergency. But there should be comment moderation.

Shahsi this, Shahsi that, EnUFF IS EnUFF, whhhhaaat ? Shahsi WHO ? of course through this program Zee is doling out Jobs and putting a burden on idian resources, Really ? Resources ?

NONE OF THE PAKIS are getting a JOB in India, HELLO ? therefore there is No question of a THREAT to Indian Singers, None of them will reach the finals and even if they Do, they are NOT going to be Immediately engulfed by the Indian cinema, and IFFFF somebody DOES prove him/herself that VALUABLE then I would be the first one to embrace such a marvelous talent, because for me, a Better Paki Singer is way better than a Bad indian singer ! I worship Music and for me at least religion, region ,color and the size of my brief are extremely personal, so go ahead, brand me a liberal or a retard, but in the end, you will see that nobody is a bigger loser than you who are obsessed with india/Pakistan, if only you were obsessed with music, you would have a different perspective of life and everything around you, but ALAS, some mothers Do have them, those wretched, uncivilized , pathetic DEFENDERS of the Populace, They are neither Indians, nor Pakistani, They are the Karma of their own sins and they will continue to Rot in a living hell called LIFE !

                                                                                                                                    am i allowed to give my two cents?.. regarding music that is..oh..and before u ask.. i am a pakistani by birth but living in UK in a house sharing with 2 indians and 1 other Pakistani guy (4 bedroom).. and happily living togather.. share fun and food .. they dont eat pork.. we don’t eat beef inside the house.. thats the only rule.. ingenious isn’t it?..

                                                                                                                                    Anyways, i use to be a regular on saregamapa dot rediff dot com last season but use to come on this forum regularly for amazing comments from some people.. (senty as for one)

                                                                                                                                    one more thing.. i’m a “kansen” not a “tansen”.. been listening to all the “asatzah” including amanat ali khan, fateh ali khan, baray ghulam ali khan, parveen sultana, mehdi hassan, ghulam ali, tufail niazi, ustad salamat ali khan, ustad barkat ali khan and.. (the list goes on)…

                                                                                                                                    in semi-classical I have been a BIG fan of lata ji and rafi ji (class apart) as well as kishore ij and mukesh ji.. so if someone goes out of sur, lay and taal my ears and brain informs me.. (automatic comparison I guess)..

                                                                                                                                    Okay.. enough of intro.. about this year’s show.. 3 lines..

                                                                                                                                    1. Too much drama
                                                                                                                                    2. Predictable
                                                                                                                                    3. ought to be a good show once it goes into the final 10 stage.. contestants are still grooming.. (remember raja and poonam from c07?).. didnt counted amanat and musarrat as they were shining from the start..

                                                                                                                                    Contestants:
                                                                                                                                    who is gona amaze us in future?.. Shujaat ali khan.. Watchout for this kid as he gains confidence.. though he needs to stop acting like a rockstar and get back to his “gharana” style of going emotionally deep into what he is singing.. he would give us some mind-boggling performances

                                                                                                                                    Debojit has a soul which indulges in songs he selects.. and he selects songs which are perfect for his style.. (smart kid.. or should I say someone who selects for him?).. would be interesting to see if there will be a mahaguru’s choice round.. (doubt it though)

                                                                                                                                    Kaushik has sung only two songs which have touched me.. to be honest.. with less *noise* of music and clapping in the background.. he did pretty darn good.. excellent justice with what he was singing.. loved the depth of his voice and control..

                                                                                                                                    Naina, yashita going on pretty good.. sara it seems has more range and control.. so lets wait for future episodes..

                                                                                                                                    I reserve my comments about rest of the singers for some future post..

                                                                                                                                    One request for site admin though.. can you please ban five words?.. india*.. paki*.. hindu* and muslim*.. that would stop people talking about countries and religion.. just a suggession..

                                                                                                                                    Cheers.

                                                                                                                                                  I dont take offense to comments in this forum anyways.. except when sensitive issues are unnecessarily dragged in and then insensitively stabbed multiple times until there’s no decency or decorum left..
                                                                                                                                                  I am aiming the above sentence at the many posts that should not have any place in this forum. From your post, I only got ticked off by your reference to rich liberal indians .. and what have they done for the country. I still strongly believe that it is irrelevant to bring in poverty and hardships faced by the citizens, into a discussion of a music talent show. Again, this is a sensitive issue and makes no sense in the context of srgmp.. (Ref. Mehfil’s post above) Anyways, like you say each to his own. no hard feelings.

                                                                                                                                                  @AgentX

Welcome !
                                                                                                                                                  I too feel this show will pick up when the final 10 or 12 are confirmed. Its way early in the game to nail the top 3 or 4. There are a few who are showing consistency in their performances. Btw, is there a rediff site for VY09 too?

                                                                                                                                                  Does anyone know if the SRGMP Bangla (which I believe is going on presently) winner will join the VY09 at some point (like last year)? The srgmp math is uber-confusing.. but, if so, there should be some slots left after the brahmastra round to accommodate the regional srgmp winners.. I think !

                                                                                                                                                  • At 2008.09.02 05:34, Fayyaz Ghafoor said:

Your dedication & devotion in posting each & every episode of SRGMP for the past 2 seasons has been appreciated by all. Your greatest achievement has been that many people do think that this is an OFFICIAL” SRGMP site :-) . The weighty discourses on this forum have an endless source of knowledge & joy to me personally & helped me make many new friends & acquaintances. Hope to see you back in action asap.

I must confess I have not added to my esnips collection in a long long time. If there is any farmayish, and if I have it, I will certainly upload it.

If not, then at least put same way to delete some of the mesg via a voting system.

What was wrong with Mr Abbas this week …. he is such a talented singer….but pakistan has the best singers at the moment…. if you all are ambassadors for your countries,,,, both pakistan and india …..you all are not doing a very good job. I am abit troubled and disappointed by some of the comments, attitudes and language on this site….. PLEASE HELP!!!

                                                                                                                                                                        howver if it is a3-way finale sahhsi, pratibha and naina all the way

Just a question….kaushik is good but he was in eklavya to begin with means mentors did not find him as good as eevn sayon or sunvinder! Something fishy there…

Did you Not see how excited Shankar was to have Kaushik in his team. Go watch the HimeshR special episode again. BTW how many times did Kaushik win the ‘golden Key”?

                                                                                                                                                                            I have nothing against Shashi But he is not as good as the others…he did not get selected Asha Ji, Ghulam Ali Saab and Suresh Wadker Ji. Most of the other contestant also have knowledge in Classical music too…some may have more years of experience than Shashi who has only learned it for THree years Only. I don’t know wHy some of YOu are making such a BIg Fuss over this. What Good is knowledge if You can put It into practice WELL. Shashi should have sung better…but he’s still making mistakes…that’s not good enough for me.

                                                                                                                                                                            Pratibha is very Good but she is not as good as Naina. Look out For SARA…she pretty amazing…he…he…he

                                                                                                                                                                            The real competition is about to begin…So Let’s watch and sEE. I Love surprises

I guess he’s autiStic, and zee is using his ‘abnormality’ to garner hype/sympathy. pathetic of zee

                                                                                                                                                                            • At 2008.09.03 19:28, Bengali dove said:

But def naina and pratibha need to teach her more sining(along with respectable shankar jee)

Can’t believe that Sashi is gone!!! I thought he was among the top three. I admit that he was not all that good this week but he is still better than most of the participants out there!!! :(
                                                                                                                                                                                  That means Pratibha is also not going to last long!!!

Idiots-yes. but not racists. That’s because Indians and Pakistanis are of the same race. Get it? Probably not. Secondly,whether Shashi studied 3 years or 30,he was clearly the best. Who has won American idol and Britains’s got Talent and made money? Clay Aiken (yes he came in 2nd like Raja Hassan-but AI cheats too) went on to make millions of dollars and great music and never had a lesson. Just talent. Paul Potts won with his Operatic performance. You want to hear “trained singers” with years of experience? Watch re-runs of Knorr’s SaReGaMaPa2008.
