Saregamapa Challenge 2009 Videos - 23rd August episode - Part I
thanxs rajdeep.religions and races can seprate us but music is the platform that should unite us irrespective of all the differences and grudges we might have.this is my view and i watch saregamapa because i know they are on the same mission too.that is to unite all the people on the stage of music.lets differ on the choice of contestants but not on music.if i insult somebody i should know he/she has the right to insult me too.i might be wrong to many of you but am sharing whats in my heart.im leaving for chicago for 3 days.might miss the saregama and all of your comments.stay happy and enjoy life and saregama.all of you.
Oh my dear lord !!! Yeh kahan aa gaye hum ??!! Yun hi sath chalte chalte…??
Haan kabhi kabhi geet sangeet ke oopar bhi charche ho rahe hain.. but thats jus 2 posts amongst 105 !
Punjabis Vs Bengalis, north Vs South, Boys Vs Girls… Gays?? LOL ! You r killing me ! This forum is hecka fun
@Rajdeep
I agree with you … apne apne fav singer, contestant pe lekh likho..its fun to read decent comments thats jus someone’s point of view without any insulting remarks. Such comments or any sort of racist remarks is a total putoff for me. There are many other forums out there that cater to such filth. It will be nice if more of serious music loving folks come here and dettol maaro this forum.
Best performance in today’s show is from Mittika. I also liked the way she confidently responded to the “Chandigarh ka crush”-wala question instead of being shy. She is really cool!!
@ Prachi ! - Wow pretty big word “cindescing”. Since you are the resident lexicographer I do hope u will throw some more light on its meaning. Lady! U r seriously messed up. Out of nowhere u start attacking me for simple praising of a fellow blogger whose comments I liked. Whatever gave you the idea that I claimed to be expert in anything. Regarding “most people have something to say” remember the old adage ” It is better to keep your mouth shut & have people wonder whether u r a fool than to open it & remove all doubt”. I bow down to your superior vocabulary , your amazing knowledge of music ( Rabbi Shergill the first & only singer to be specially trained in Sufi/ Mystic style of singing mebbe at Hogwarts ! LOL U pathetic pretender! Rabbi has never formally trained anywhere.)
Hope u restrain yourself & do not further demean this blog by irrelevant attacks on people who would not prefer to stoop to your puny levels.
@ admin/$hashi - Please do restore the Non saregamapa discussions link at the earliest. Thanks .
dr. aamir
Do I look good now?
Enjoy the music
Fayyaz where are YOu?
Itna sannata kyun hai bhai??
Its been almost 6 hours or more since the last post here.
Anyways.. anyone knows when the real voting shoting will start on this show? When does the maha-guru urf weed-out process end?
@$hashi
Yes please reinstate the non-srgmp thread and make it accessible from the main page. Lets have some quality discussions there. I am sorry to say, the random racial rants here are driving away folks who come here for some healthy n fun talk about music.
Thanks for the awesome job you are already doing with the video updates / reviews !
hi dears…
every body in saregamapa singing nicely,this is my request for all that please dont use this sentence, he will not win.dont you feel that if he read this sentence.will make him sad and can effect his performance.they are far away from their homes and their love ones HOW SIMPLY WE SAID”HE WILL NOT WIN” are you god or godess?we must love every one on the stage because obviousely they are better than us.We claim to love the music but dont respect its source,the source is artist.
This is my request to my indian veiwers that do you know in Pakistan its the dream of pakistani artists to perform in India becuase they think we love the artists,please dont waste this impression over all the world.we are indians and we really love them and we have proved it last year and will remain this impression alive.
Mitika,Zaheer if i ever have money i will release you album together what a beautifull voices both of you have.can anybody tell me the rap video better than Zaheer by any singer of pakistan or india?amazing,i never listen.i missed Vishal and shekhar alot who said this song should be recorded once again in your voice to praise the singers.best of luck to all saregamapa contastants.God bless you dears
Mitika and Yashita are a league ahead…time for a girl winner this year.
Dear Dr. Aamir & Harjeet
thanx for keep me remmember actually there is some problem with my PC so i could not pass even read any comments today i checked ur comments in university lab i ve taken the print out of all comms i ll write tommorrow after reading all the comms.
thanx again and bye till tommorow
Fayyaz Jee
Don’t bother reading any of the comments…waste of time.
Just concentrate on your studies (that is if you are a student)…hope you sort out your PC…
Looking forward to your comments
Study very hard Fayyaz Jee…do well in Uni
Take Care
@Mitika Kanwar
You are constantly singing songs by several artists (i.e. several artists singing One song)….I can understand that you are trying to show that you are a versatile singer..which you certainly are… no doubts
I think you should change your strategy…do something different and unexpected…surprises is what gets you ahead in ANY game …
you’re smart kid I’m sure you’ll know what to do
Good LUck to All the contestants
Zaheer rock……….
Harjeet
You are just biased for Punjabis and it shows. In fact I hope you you waste all your money voting for zaheer as no-one else will. ugly cow
And I do want a girl to win, but not that arrogant Mitika. she is not even trained. manisha was 100 times better than her. naina, pratibha are much better. Grow up punjabis and stop supporting your own kind regardless of how BESURA they sing.
No wonder ISHMEET won when TOSHi couldn’t.AND THIS YEAR WE WILL NOT LET SUNVINDER OR MTIKA WIN.yippee!!
Zaheer won’t even amke it top top 10. he is so uglya nd must be 50. i prefer an INDIAN to win
Sheila
YOU are UGLY not me.
Go have a closer Look in the mirror and see HOW UGLY you really are.
Sheila
You really are SICK in the head. You think by using another name I will not be able to recognize You.
When you wish something Bad for someone …it always comes back to YOU (also known as Law of attraction).
You must be ONE super UGLY soul. Shoooo…go away
Sheila
Are you envious of Mitika…not surprised since she is such a pretty, talented and smart young lady
Yikes You must be a UGLY chick
It shows.
Grow UP
BTW Sheila I thought the COW was worshipped in INDIA…
hay Jayant….
soon you will be on national geographic channel.the most cursed and ugly animal of the earth both by face and nature.Zaheer and Debojeet are cute and innocent coz they have good voices this is related to Sur not to Shakal.
kojay,buri shakal walay tera moon kala monkey mind and everything which is dirty in your mind look in mirror you will find in yourself.
Whenever your kind of dirty people try to disheart an artist we will be a here to protect all participants respect.
Lanat jayant good bye.i think its enough if you are human.
very good yasir,i think this dose is enough for him.you deserve it jayant.
@ Harjeet & Fayyaz
Its been long discussion going on about Male and Female singer. No doubt every one has his/her own favourite singer as a potential winner. Well ever one has equal righ to choose one but that choice shold not be at the cost of hurting some one.
Any ways harjeet you are trying your best to make people understand ans some point you might use some horrific words but the good thing is that you later on understood and tender your applogies…sign of a good person.
In my personal opinion, the initial criteria of the programme is totally flaud (not fraud).
On one side girls are being judged separately and boys separately, then what is the point of putting them together in the last stages. This is very cleat that voice of a woman can never be as strong as voice of a man. (Please note that this is not discrimination but a factual based understanding).
History is in front of every one. Lets take example of India. After Shamshad Begum, Lata Jee and Asha Jee are the most reknown singer in the world and what after these two singers…everyone knows the answer. Alka Yagnic and Kavita Krishnamoorti jee got some fame but not upto that level and even after that female singes are coming and going
Male singers should not be judged together with the Female singers in any contest. Both have different chractristics in their voice. In my humble opinion there should be two winners one form Boys and other from Girls. But people could be of different opinion. But this experiment could be successful and the element of Biosness could be eliminated that Male singers are being preferred by the Judges or Public.
I look forward for opinion fom this forum.

Umair

Girl if you are constantly wishing that “others” should get ahead in Life (i.e Win a contest etc…)…Nothing comes your way. Change your attitude …save your KARMa

My FOC advice
Umair
Maybe they should have a quawwali competition…boys one side and the girls the other.
Who is this harjeet always fighting? She is one obnoxious lady. Well your commensta re entertaining to us. as for mitika, whether she is pretty or not hardly counts in a musical show. what a rascist tis harjeet si! typical punju attitude
Hrajeet we all know you are a failiure in life. your taste in music sucks. and stop your patronising attitude. you are an ugly girl. everyone HATES you here. what a thick-skinned woman you are.
No punjabi or pakistani will win. they are less on talent and need advocates like harjeet…they suck
PUNJABIS ARE LIKE HARJEET ONLY. LOOK AT THEM. THEY SHOULD HAVE GONE TO PAKISTAN. ALWAYS SUPPORTINGPAKIS ONLY. LOSERS
None of my friends support zaheed. he is a paki and on top of that an ugly one. he i much older thn the rest and not fair to them
sara is also hyped for no reason
In fact the only good contestnats are neither from punjab nor pakistan
Hey i agree with you. we don’t need punjabi who are non singers to win.Punjabis and pkaistanis hardly have any talent. they are limited in range and expressions
People from east are far more talented an din hisroy of saregama no punjabi has won- hope tradition continues
If I were to Vote…
I will Vote for “Amanat Ali” a billion times.
An exceptional singer…no one in this competition (SRGMPA 2008/09) can compete with Him.
Amanat Ali is undoubtly the bEST talent I’ve ever seen…I wish Him Great Success in Life…
How would I describe Amanat Ali
Simply…A beautiful soul
Th ebst are shahsi, pratibha, naina and arshad. Harjeet does not know anything about music. zaheed is worst of lot. harjeet or whoeevr you are, must be a mililtant sikh lady
hrajet
waste your money in voting but amant DID not win and that’s fact. raja and aneek- true sons of soil were afr better and got more votes. no pkai/punjabi has that much of talent
WE DON’T NEED PAKISTANIS IN OUR CONTESTS. ANYWAY THEY WILLL NOT WIN. HARJEET HAS PROVED PUNJABIS ARE ANTI NATIONALISTS. WHY DON’T THEY JOIN PAKISTAN
Here we go again!
We really do have great music knowledge!
I agree with the point of Fractal Image.
There should be a seperate competition for males and females or there should be a male and a female topper in these type of mixed compititions. It is very difficult to compare a female voice with a male voice in terms of who is the best. For me it’s difficult to say who is better among Asha Bhosle and Kishore Kumar.
Last year’s Poonam should have been treated like another topper in Saregamapa but that never happened. It’s not fair that she was considered fourth in that competition.
There are some additional factors that also play a role in these contests:
Rajdeep had very correctly pointed out that there are maximum female voters than males in these compititions. There is a huge group of teenages and adolescents in this voter’s group. Most of the adolescents and teenaged population base their votes on “cute” “hot” “sexy” etc. other than music. Obviously the females in this age group will target a male contestant.
Moreover, I think majority of the population (including me) do not have a very good idea about correctness of “Mukhda” “Antara” etc. They get carried away by the choice of songs…- say a person who sings the most popular fast and chalu songs (actually easier to sing) that make you dance will be considered the best singer.
In reality there is a minority of population who will vote based on singing ability. This also leads to a wrong choice in terms of toppers.
Prachi,
I’m sorry to dissapoint you.
Firstly, I’m not a failure in life…I’m well educated, I travelled…, I have a great family and friends, …
Secondly, my taste in music is my personal preference. Thirdly, I hope you won’t be accusing me of bragging But I’m actually very good looking…others have told me this. Fourthly, I really don’t care if everyone in this forum HATES me….as I’m not looking for buddies. Lastly, I have great genes, I don’t have thick-skin…it’s soft and supple.
OK baby…take a chill pill
prem
I never had the chance to Vote last round…Shucks
@Indian
You should be the Next Indian PM…
Come on guys …you can do better than this.
So Boring
@ Harjeet
Lovely comments Harjeet, that shows that you love the boys on the competition only because in Qawali obviously only they will be the winners….
In simple words ‘Muhabat Fatehe Alam’. I wish to see you among those girls on the competition but only claping behind Male singers during Qawali…….
Anuways good memory to remember things
Love to see you again
Sheetal
Who cares who you OR your friends support…you guys don’t even come close to the 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 percent of the Indian population.
@ Saregama
Thanks for being of same thoughts. Hope this suggestion would be considered too.
Umair
Hey harjeet, I am against some statements you said where you prefer people of pakistn over poeple of india. shows hoa nationalist you punjabis are. maybe thye should ahve been allowed to forma seaprate stae. It won’t do india any harm. Our talent is plenty, from Bengal to Mahrashtra to South India. we don’t need Punjab…the singers there lack training and come only because of moolah
Harjeet, no punjabi will win. Take my word for it. saregama will not spil its reputation
as for the apkis, only sara is a good singer. the males are fat and ugly and lack charm in voice and face
Umair
I was raised as a SOn and not as Daughter…
I’m more aggressive than my brothers and my Guy friends
Harjeet
Indian
Brother you still need your Rozi Roti which comes from Punjab
@ Harjeet
What a contradiction Harjeet, According to you..
‘I have great genes, I don’t have thick-skin…it’s soft and supple’
And now you are saying…..
I was raised as a SOn and not as Daughter…
I’m more aggressive than my brothers and my Guy friends.’
Its hard to believe a girl has been raiesed like a boy but still she has soft and supple skin..Hoooon Kia baat hai mera khayal hai jawab thora jaldi mai dia is liye gar bar ho gae…Any ways next time read your previous statements and then answer….hope you will not mind this advice….thanks Umair
@ Fayyaz Bhai
Chale bhi aao ke gulshan ka karobar chale
Umair
Don’t over react Fractal Image/Umair
If I’m in the guys team in the qawalli competition I’ll win.
“Its hard to believe a girl has been raiesed like a boy”
My Parents gave me the same opportunities as they did for their sons.
If you and the others interpret it differently…so be it
And about my skin…What the hell is wrong with you…you think i mud wrestle with guys or what…
It’s kind of boring in this site! I wish we had more constructive criticisms here instead of fleeting comments!
Indian
“Hey harjeet, I am against some statements you said where you prefer people of pakistn over poeple of india”
Brother go check Your eye sight first and then learn how to read and write to others.
For every single comment by a member, Harjeet replies with TEN!
@ Harjeet
Very cute to read your comments……you pretend to be more constructive member of this forum but unfortunately you are unable to take any criticism on yourself. As far as to interpret something, I am very clear in my thoughts and I know what I say and I mean. What ever I wrote is from your statements and people on this forum are ood enough to understand what I mean. OK and cheer up baby.
Try to be brave enough and be patient to accept if something has been said wrong.
By the way there is nothing wrong with the hell and nothing wrong with me. You wrestle with guys in mud or any where else that is your own business love, so keep it up, i have nothing to do with this.
No further comments on this topic as that will be a waste of my time.
the guy posing as “Indian” is not Indian at all most likely Pakistani trying to mess around, please don’t take him seriously. most indians and pakistanis are not like this idiot. just don’t pay attention to him. there are fine punjabi singers in this competition even sara raza khan is punjabi so if she win you can still be proud but don’t look at language states look at who is the best talent as an individual
@ All - Dudes & dudettes - Since most of us are not following SRGMP religiously a la’ 2007 I request all of you to list their most memorable performance for the numerous others like me who may catch it on youtube or here . Thanks
For a change let there be some music related discussion too. Think all of us are fed up of these asinine bovine discussions.

@zindagi,
Sara said she would not wear dress that will expose her body. And she is maintaining that!
She had to dress like that (though fully covered) since it was a hip-hop episode.
But I felt that it was a sci-fi episode… the way the contestants were dressed!
There is a big problem with this website design. One person can post comments with 10 different names. This should not be allowed. That way it looks like it’s a forum of all mad people suffering from “multiple personality disorder”. YOu can’t trust anyone…who is who…! This is crazy!!
The admin should somehow keep track of this…I don’t know how because I am not a computer person but multiple ids should not be allowed from the same PC.
Umair
Go and get some sleep.
Admin
Please look into the matter (i.e. person posting comments with different names). Hope you can resolve the matter.
I think I know who it is.
Rajdeep
So you are finally admitting….
Umair Jee
“you pretend to be more constructive member of this forum but unfortunately you are unable to take any criticism on yourself”
I only take constructive criticism…i don’t put with Crap
And you think that the comments posted in this Forum are criticisms…you are certainly wrong
It’s Demeaning…written by a Real bunch of narrow minded people…
come to think of it…I don’t think I want to engage myself with Some of the people in this forum.

@saregama
I gotta post more !
sir/maam, its not jus MPD, but also .. usko kya kehte hain .. Attention-seeking disorder ! Woh bhi bohot hai iss forum mein. Jeez ! Top commentator is 169.. omg.. me jus got a wee 30
Seriously, this site is getting maha monotonous.. we need a change of scene. Hopefully kal parson after the new episodes this week, we can get to read some good decent reviews (ya rite !)
@Harjeet…
“Rajdeep
So you are finally admitting…”
What am I admitting, if I am allowed to know?
Looking forward to tomorrow’s episode.
I think its a psychological thing that the person with whom you have sympathy (nationality, religious, cultural, socio-ecomonic condition etc) will ’sound’ better than the rest. Its very hard to stay impartial and judge on the basis of SUR alone, especially when the program directors themselves are highlighting such human emotions into their audience.
Its sad to read some comments from Prachi, Megha, sheila and others. How many different prejudices can you have at the same time? based on nationality, region, language, province, social status, gender and sexual-orientation!!! wow … This forum seems as a chance for your own personal catharsis, venting out all the injustices that you see happening around you … I think you should see a psychiatrist coz this is not healthy for you …
very sad that you some can’t read
and count properly. Obviously you Must have been very weak in Maths…
@Rajdeep
Sssssshh. Silence is Gold. Didn’t you read my message.
FOC Advice
I also suggests that apart from consulting a psychiatrist, some of you may need to consult a ’spritual healer’ to get Rid of the demons in your heads
@Jamshid
Well said. Thanks for one of the few sane posts out here. I wish dockaul, saregama, dr.amir, Arr Emm, Fractal image and folks interested in healthy conversation (vijay, mehfil, anon where are u guys/gals ??) would write more often here. I have to weed though scores of insane idiotic chatter to get to one good post.
@admin
Can we have the non-srgmp link restored please?
@Harjeet
Coz you contradict yourself so much ki it splits me up. When pushed to a corner, you aplogize profusely with an excuse that you are over-stressed or something ! I will never stoop to your level, but ya it does get irritating most times.
Its fun to read your comments really
No dear, I didnt miss my math.. you are almost there.. jus three more.. u go girl !!
@Senty
What makes u think that The comment is directed to you. I was refering to this comment, Don’t act smart

Don;t make statements Like “I will never stoop to your level”
And you think that you are way Up there, miss mighty etc…don’t Kid urself

No sweety, me no “act” smart. my mom says I AM smart. So acting wacting no need. Neeways, u wont get it.
Pssst.. jus between u n me..
‘ciao’ is for cya.. ‘chow’ is dog food.
Sad I don’t know who @hardeep is But I wish to respond on her behalf
Sad Only your MOM thinks that u are smart….sad

Recommend an intake of a dozen Chill pill
Take it…demaaakh will cool down…more clarity
Got to go…need to WOrk.

@Hardeep
err sry Harjeet .. but achha hua. You hit 169 .. o no.. 170 ! I was scared ki u may not hit the mark hence the intended spelling mistake.
ok chalo.. Harjeet, lets do this.. lets get this forum back to a good shape.. wat say? I have obviously not watched the last 3 weeks.. if you or anyone else here can tell me the top notable performances that will be very useful. I can catch up over this weekend. Seriously, no panga here. I am serious.
The last good singer I noticed was hmm..lets see.. shashi, faraz, naina. Mithika looks and sounds like she will go far in public voting. I dont know yet if I am a going to support her. But she is ok.
@Senty
It’s a deal. No more panga…but if anyone else attacks me personally …my policy is to Attack…attack..attack
Ok ok no more panga. Constructive discussion from now On.
Really Got to Go….Work
A quick one…bare in mind this is not my complete list
Kaushik, Zaheer, arshaad, shashi, naina,parthiba Mithika,
faraz is not as good as he use to be…
Look out for Kaushik …the best voice
Ok My boss is screaming
Chow
FOR ONE & ONLY HARJEET
I don’t know other may agree with me or not any ways I think HARJEET is a realistic commentator. Keep it up dear. “Such aksar karwa zaroor laghta hai jiss tarha tum main sach bolnay ki himat hai Allah karay logon main such sunn’nay ki himt be ho”
Thank you Harjeet you might know why I am saying thanks to you
In such a scenario it useless to pass any comment because Saturday, Sunday and Monday, are the best days for posting/reading comments in these days people genuinely talk about the music/show only but in the rest of the days the comments are based only on nationality, religion, sex, looking good or bad, culture etc. I will pass my comments tomorrow.
Let’s see what happened in today’s episode see you tomorrow bye

Senty,
I guess you are right! It’s more of an attention seeking case. It’s also about who wins the arguements.
I need to work hard…me just got 21 posts …..
Can’t wait to see the next episode.
Have a great long weekend!
All because of that stupid Himesh Dungu.
So young yet so arrogant
No wonder all his movies a flop
His mop hairstyle…yuuuch
Over acting most of the time
Aare Himesh Gado please keep to your word and keep your mouth shut
Hello Fayyaz Ji,
Sorry was away and couldnt reply…
Well, so many comments till now.. looks like Sangeet ka mahayudhh vaha pe shuru hua hai aur comments ka mahayuddha yaha…
Let me answer your question, i didnt watch the initial episodes of Saregamapa 2007 so i really dont know if Sayon was there in Eklavya gharana..
Also, i think they have eliminated so many rounds, which really test your musical abilities, which were there in the initial Saregama episodes when Sonu was hosting. Rounds like.. the contestant would be given a song to sing on the stage at the last moment by the guest judges and the chord would be given.. the contestant has to identify the chord and according the that chord he has to decide the sur and sing the song.. then another round would be the taal would be changed of the song and the contestant has to sing the song in totally different taal… The guest judges would give 3 songs and the contestant has to sing one of them.. now the contest is easy cos the contestants prepare the songs in advance and then sing.. this round shows how well they can sing without preparing… These kind of rounds is a real musical test, no judge is required.. it shows how much music knowledge you do have.. if you can identify sur and taal then thats the basic thing.. i know cos i have learnt classical music for 3 years..
Also, i feel that they should have 2 winners.. one guy and one girl.. not because i am a girl.. but i think as far as recording a song for a heroine concern, you do require a female voice… like last time, Poonam was the last one from the girl so she should have been declared some kind of title.. i dont want any male contestants who might sing better than the girls to get eliminated because of this.. but they should have a male and a female winner…
According to me, Arshad, Shashi, Zaheer are the best among boys.. Contestants who sing classically well impress me more.. I like Tarun’s voice very much and i think he can sing difficult songs very easily but just needs to be on ground.. i think he was more casual and over confident.. I havent heard Kaushik singing classical song till now so cant decide on him.. Faraz is classically trained but i dont know if pitching is not supporting him and he is not confident because of that.. among the girls i like Mitika, Sara, Naina & Pratibha.. i liked the eliminated contestant Rashi from UK very much & i was really impressed with her singing ‘Mere Dholna’ from Bhul Bhulaiya..
So lets see how today’s episode goes… Ok then, see you all again after the episode..
Enjoy!!
-AK
Just my 2 cents worth of thought.
Classical training is mandatory to be a good singer, but just having classical training will not help you to become a playback singer!
Ashaji rightly pointed out that Sashi, like other classical singers, sing with an “a” (eh) and not with an “ah” which is noticiceable among classical singers.
And the main purpose of this show is to find a good “PLAYBACK” singer.
That’s the reason why no pure classical singer (and there are plenty) take part in these shows!
Further to Rajdeeps comments:
I do believe that just having classical training is not enough to be a classical singer. However I think it is the most difficult part of the whole preparation. The other skills such as stage performance, pronunciation, etc. can be learned over time. Sonu Nigam was also a classical based singer and also very shy but now he sings all types of songs and a good performer too.
So I think for Shashi, his claasical basis should not be a criterion for his elimination as we can see how the singers become more and more confident untill the show reaches the final round.
SOmehow I personally think they should encourage pure classsical singers to participate in these compititions too. I would love to see more and more people like Shankar Mahadevan who is also a good classical singer.
To Rajdeep,
I agree with you and appreciate your thought and think you are right. Classically trained singers dont necessarily make good playback singers and the singers who are not classically trained dont necessarily sing bad.. The perfect example of this is Sunidhi Chauhan. She is not classically trained.. same is Mussarat Abbas, he is not classically trained..but look at the way they sing.. I think Mussarat Abbas was my fav contestant from last season. I like the Nusarat Fateh Ali khan type of songs very much and he could sing those with so much perfection.. it is very difficult to sing them..
From this season, most of the singers (which i mentioned above in my comment) sang classical songs in previous episodes.. Jenice Sobti definately dont have any classical training but at the same time she is not an impressive singer.. thats my point.. same as Sunvinder. Obviously i shouldnt say that they have to be classically trained.. in today’s time when most of the recording is technical.. you dont even have to worry about your pitching.. you know i came across one song of Sunidhi Chauhan.. i forgot the song.. but that note was higer in the song for her pitching and you could easily make out that that high note was ‘hit’ by some kind of special effect.. i had heard about it but when i actually heard this song, i was shocked..
Anyway… if the judges get to decide the winner and the elimination is in their hands, the results would be totally different.. but obviously it is about the most popular contestant.. Thats what happened in other reality shows.. like Indian Idol.. Nobody even thought in their wildest dreams that Prashant Tamang would be the winner cos there were so many more talanted singers than him but just that he got the maximum nos of votes.. same is Voice Of india.. i am not against Ishmit or Prashant but singers like Toshi, Aabhas, Priyani, Abhilasha were far better as singers but its just that they didnt get enough votes..
@Anuya,
You have said the last word…
“it is about the most popular contestant”
That is it!
To Anuya…
So, is this a fault of winnrs that othrs dont get enugh votes…once you hve such a format dear you cant blame cntstnts for winning or loosing…we gottu blame ourselves for not voting our fav cntstnt…i dont blame late ishmeet or prashant or debojit (2 yr bak winnr) or aneek to be winnrs..public voted for them so they won…public didnt vote for raja..toshi..abhaas or othrs so they didnt win…everyone has his/her choice..its not necessary that a cntstnt u like…i’ll also like and vice-versa…so thres no point in blaming each othr on the basis of region or religion as some of the peopl did in their commnts…evry person loves and respects his/her religion but the winnr is one whu respcts othrs sentimnts and emotions…this is my humble request to everyone here to not to say any garbage things to anyone bcos you nevr kno wat life has in store for you…kisi ne bahut khoob kaha hai ki,”rishta itna mat bigaarro ke kal ko saamna ho to hum ik dusre se nazar na mila sake…” rest all you guys are well educated and matured…all the best…
To, Aar Emm,
I am not a person who judges someone on the basis of his/her religion. You can go through my previous comments as well and let me know if you find that.. i am a hindu maharashtrian brahmin and i did like Mussarat very much in last season.. its just your own personal choice.. Come on.. it also doesnt not necessarily mean that if i like Kaushik (he too is maharashtrian brahmin)then i am being religious..
To Rajdeep,
All I said was that i like classically trained singers, that doesnt mean that i dont like Kishore Kumar or Sunidhi Chauhan.. I also dont impose my view on others.. but those are a few exceptions.. if you see, all playback singers ARE classically trained.. Jenice Sobti will have a superhit song tomorrow as HR said but thats it.. a little difficult song and the music director will go look for someone who has the ability to sing well…
I know it is about the most popular.. and not necessarily about the best one..
But i do get hurt when people do vote for someone just because he/she is from their state and he or she wins the competition and the deserving candidate looses.. that doesnt necessarily mean that he is the most popular singer (Most of you would agree that Prashant was not on most people’s list of fav singers from last Indian Idol.. you know, most of my Nepali friends from here, they sent money to India/Nepal which could be used in SMS to Prashant.. THAT made him the winner.. not becuase people from all over were crazy about him voted for him…
To Anuya..
dear…i nvr said that u made any regional or religious commnts…i jus said that some of the peopl did in their commnts…i m sry if i have hurt any of ur feelngs…
Anuya,
I completely agree with you that it is about the most popular singer! I did not contradict you at all!
On the lighter side, I thought Jenice Sobti started crying more when Himesh promised her a song!
To Aar Emm ,
You said public did not vote for Raja! Go to raja’s fan site and see how they vote for Raja!
Just for the sake of it write some criticisn against Raja and you will see for yourself that your comments have been deleted within 10 minutes!
But write insulting comments about other contestants, judges, mentors or even a whole community and you will find your comments there forever!
Its fanatic people like these who make a contestant win !
How do you think Sandeep Acharya and Prashant won?
To Aar Emm,
Sorry if i overread your comments… and you dont have to say sorry ..
Oh my God, I just saw Yashita’s performance… yet to see all other videos, but let me tell you, she was BRILLIANT!!!!! What confidence!! I think all the other girls need to watch out for her… she might be the ‘underdog’ of this competition!
And of course she didnt sing a classical song but she understands ’sur’ so well! so thats about it! i have no complaints if she is not trained classically.. as far as she sings in sur.. You rock girl!!!
I agree to Rajdeep
Keep it up
What a load of crap.
The theme is hip hop & R&B and the judgers are Gulamali & Suresh Wadkar…ha ha ha..funny…
Looks Like very “garma garam” discussion chal rahi hai Sohneyo. Shawa Bhai shawa.. It seems as if everybody is against Punjabis. Chalo Koi baat nahin.

This time Saregamapa 2009 is not even worth watching .. boring.. boring..I have just checked out the first episode and I can tell.. ki Jaan Nahin hai..
