I agree with comments about Mithika. She is superb and did not deserve to be eliminated. Who can call Asma a singer? Big drama queen fully besur.Even Deepali was better than her.
The judges should have power to veto.Please bring back Mithika. Shankar seems to be the only fair and excellent judge and so was Suresh Wadkar.Debo sings well but makes weird gestures which should be curbed by the episode director. And it looks like they are cashing in on his personality. His mother is really graceful and does not seem to like the comments especially by Pritam.

Singing compitition in Zee Saregama stage….technical analysis competition in $hashi’s forum! Not bad! At least don’t have to read the pyar-muhabbat poems.

Godbole sahab(if I have not mistaken),

Your concept of collective intelligence is contrary to the concept of Groupthink (Irving Janis, 1982). Crowd always tend to exhibit extreme behaviors- an important factor being “deindividuation”.Anyways…that’s just what this observer believes.

Naina Stole the show this week.

Pratibha should stop saying “Mahableshwar baba ke naam pe ….mujhe vote…!The moment she utters her God’s name the voters population will be divided accordingly…Parinam-You all know- less support. Same applied to Faraz who said “Insha Allah vote for me”. Their each and every sentence makes a difference on voting patterns- may be good or may be bad for them..I think it’s bad.

I missed out Soumen Nandi.Luv u very much shishya bcos U r very capable and U remind me of Junaid Sheikh.Soumen has a good voice,clearity of notes,need care in high notes.Bhaava and laya good.He must start practising classical sargam.

Bhaava and laya is more important in singing.If u sing versatile songs perfect sur,without bhaava or expressions it is not A+.Mitika has to improve her expression and pitching.Her pancham and madhyama was flopping in most of her songs.She was missing the perfect raaga chain.So take everything positive.I m not defending the others like Asma or Sara.We can just say Mitika was unfortunate.But fortune won’t forgive Asma And Sara if they don’t improve.Faraz is very correct singer according to me.He may sound bad for any one.But for a music teacher like me he is average and he shows signs of improvement in every performance.I can assure he is 1000 times highly potential than Debojit and Shujat.
Zaheer needs training in Low notes and must choose songs according to his madhyama and panchama advantage.Did u see his singing of sureshji song.
Shujat needs training under expression and basic practice of sargams.
Debojit may be shown most perfect in the show.But he lacks something too.He has to improve his versatility.He has to sing all notes clearly.Many songs sung by him is not clear bcos he is not singing from his full heart.He is #1 great singer and will sing songs like Kishoreda.But He can never be the dedicative singer like Mohd Rafi saheb.He will get the dard in his song only if he sings many Mohd Rafi’s songs.
Finally my opinion is based on what i learnt from my Gurus.It may vary from 1 to 1.I respect every one’s feelings and I like all the singers saregamapa,svoi,indian idol.

So sad that Mitika is out!?! Good luck girl with your career – here’s hoping you will go far!
I thought Vaishali was excellent – hope she’s not in the bottom next week.
And also spotted Naina Saxena on Indian Idol – guess she does not get very far there.

Agree with the previous FEMINIST. Punjab IS one of the male chauvanist states of India. Rohanpreet and that little fellow did not deserve 2nd and 3rd place at all. Vansundhara and Smita should have been the ones contesting with Anamika.
I agree that there is a big population of “teenage/adolescent girls” in voting…however, inspite of that females like Shreya, Sunidhi and Anamika made it to the top.

Pratiabha is THE BEST followed by Naina in the current group.

No matter how much you guys hate Bengalis, you have to admit that this is one of the most advanced communities in the field of music.Music is in their blood and culture.I don’t think I need to site any example. If you guys think that Bengalis win saregamapa only due to extraordinary regional voting I will say “You guys are jealous of Bengalis”.

Okay.. here I go..

As usual.. a lot of drama.. lots of personal problems of contestants.. lots of love stories.. in C07 we got fed up with Aneek, Sumedha (Mauli?), Amanat Love triangle.. This time.. I think Zee SRGMP team is undecided on which love story to follow.. so love story kay ooper love story chal rahi hai.. lets see who’s love prevail till the end..

Doosra drama is the same which I said in my last week’s episode comments.. Aray kiss kisam ka singer chahiyay bhai??.. decide kar lo.. hamain kya See-Saw par bithaya howa hai.. Kabhi Versatile singer chahiyay.. Kabhi stage singer chahiyay.. kabhi Studio singer chahiyay.. and what was himesh saying??.. it was like.. bachay nay saal kay 364 din bohat mehnat ki.. last day main exam kay daoraan 10 main say 6 sawal kay ghalat jawab day diyay to koi baat nahi.. A+ main paas kar do.. If this is the criteria of this show.. then I guess show ki zaroorat nahi.. bahir say hi decide kar kay hamain bata diya karo..

And why was he calling “aurtain” again and again to the girls??.. bhai “larkiyaan” kaho.. himesh mian.. larki aur aurat main fark hota hai.. if you know what I mean.. nahi to urdu ki classes lo..

Okay.. Performances.. were there any??.. oh yeah.. I did heard some songs during all this drama.. hmm.. lets see..

Kaushik: Impressed me with his last week’s performance.. though giving him Chakra Shakra was a bit early.. atleast he should sing a couple of more songs to prove himself before being crowned.. is performance main bharao chahiyay tha awaz main.. which was missing.. Rachao was also not there.. and as senty said.. sur bikhray howay thay..

Pratibha: Asthai was marvellous.. but then from Antra onwards it was just good.. she did nailed the song but it was like “kacha kacha”..

Debojit: Man this guy has nailed 95% of the songs till now.. magar is ka masla pronunciation ka hai.. words are not clear.. in this song.. paltay bohat achay thay.. behlaway perfect thay.. just has to take care of his clarification of words..

Naina: Asthai was understandard.. but after that she was good.. I wont go till the extent of calling it a “history”.. it was more like “superhit”.. nothing extra ordinary about it..

Faraz: Ashtai was bohat achi.. uthaan bohat barhiya thi.. but though he kept the feeling in the song.. sur idhar udhar bikharnay lagay.. he needs consistency… I think he thinks a lot during his singing.. he needs to let go and follow his heart during singing..

Mitika: Modulated her voice again.. this time it was “nasheeli”.. I don’t know what is her problem?.. honestly speaking.. I have been unable to figure what her original voice is.. all the time she sings.. I feel like she is singing in “falsetto”.. anyways.. whatever voice she was using.. she sung it beautifully..

Vaishali: Thank you very much mam.. and now you can go.. I mean comeon.. I cant raise the voice of song when she is singing.. by ear-drums start aching.. Cheekhti hoi awaz hai.. it hurts.. I think she should try to sing in lower kharaj.. that would be more appropriate for her (and for us)..

All in all it was again an okay okay performance by SRGMP team.. If they want the audience to get attached to contestants then they should allow the “janta” to listen to just singers.. and try to avoid the extra-singing activities..

Just my two cents..

Cheers!

Superb Review Senty.. i havn’t got a chance to watch the program yet.. been busy working.. anyways.. so a lot of drama again huh?..

Anyways, its a loss that Mitika was eliminated so soon.. i would have gone for Asma or Vaishali (failed to impress me in the previous episode, sheekhti awaz hai)..

@Mehfil.. I will give my thoughts on the show after watching it.. but i dont think i’ll be able to add anything to Senty’s review..

Cheers!
