    Among boys, I am all for Zahir Abbas. Zahir and Mittika makes a good Jodi. Mittika should ditch that Chandigarhwala and go for Zahir. Sorry for the nonmusical talk… :D

        Dear Agent X -
        I appreciate your 2 cents. I agree in totality with all your surmises but the fact remain that the best NEVER ever come out the winner in these reality shows based on public voting. In an utopian world Amanat Ali in VY07 , Toshi Sabri in VOI 07 , Nihira/Hemchandra/Himani in SRGMP 05 would all have been winners. I do hope you noticed that strategically placed ? after winner which conveyed my doubts of this choice but old timers will remember my forecasting Aneek’s win way before the finals.
        We may not like it but Vox Populi rules.
        Cheers & do keep up the awesome reviews.

                @Admin
                Can the blog be re-programmed so that the first line of the post which indicates the time and date and person’s name writing the comment is BOLD ….

                e.g. ‘At 2008.09.09 19:54, saregama said:’, the date and time and saregama be bold …

                I hope that’s not something big to change, otherwise no worries :)

                  Thanks Raj,

                  It almost said and shared teh feeling of all of us about VY09, its ture, sometimes its EMBARRASSING the way they are conducting the show, it has everything but Music, even Saregama little champs was better than this Maha Yudh.

                    ss, are you paki, either sara or faraz,shujaat are good in your eyes. baki saab diktha nahi hai kaya. you seems to be very upset with your life. Sara is really boring and she will be out soon.. Shujaat also doesn’t have any variation,, look for Debojit and learn from him. As because those paki singers are from some Gharana, doesn’t mean that they are great.

                      U THINK SARA IS BORING I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU CAN YOU SING OR DO YOU KNOW WHAT SINGING IS. i THINK YOU TALK RIDICULOUS, SPECIALLY ON PAKISTANIS MAN. THIS TIME THE PAKISTANIS ARE MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN OTHERS. SHUJAT’S VARIATION IS NO GOOD AND WOW ALL THE JUSGES WHO ARE SITITNG THERE PRAISE HIM I GUESS ” YOU SHOULD SIT THERE AS A JUDGE EH”

                      GROW UP AND STOP COMPLAINING AND SARA WILL GO FAR ” WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO JUDGE WRONG ON THEM. KAUSHIK SUCKS BIG TIME

                      Okay.. here is my “Tarot Card” and “Astrological” reading for this show’s future..

                      I am going to give my predictions about the recent runners of SRGMP show .. not considering external/unforeseen or dramatized reasons.. just purely on merit.. namely..

                      Naina: To me has a strong future in this show.. she has a very wide range to her singing.. very clear voice.. but she has to be careful about going in low notes.. she loses control there.. If the judges didn’t play with her mindset and confidence.. she is going to be a treat to listen.. definitely final 5 contender..

                      Mitika: has good potential.. but the problem with her is.. she rarely uses her own voice.. each time she sings, her tonal quality changes.. even within the song she switches from one voice base to another.. I don’t know weather I should call it a falsetto or what but that takes away the magic.. and leme tell you.. I am not talking about kharaj or high/low notes.. If she is not careful with that, I don’t think she will last long..

                      Pratibha: has clear and crisp voice.. good range.. good pronunciation.. but she needs to let herself go.. seems too tense.. she has to open up and relax a bit.. she has more range to her voice if she picks her chin up when reaching high notes.. that will increase her range potential and throw.. to me.. she is a very strong contender for the final 5..

                      Yashita: A strong opponent to Naina.. I would give her more marks then Naina as her control over lower notes is more then Naina.. very clear and crisp voice.. good pronunciation and good attitude during the song.. literally soothes herself into the song from beginning.. definitely a final 5 contender..

                      Sara: Has a very good potential.. will be very good in soft melodious numbers.. has good control on her gala for her age.. I was not counting her to be a strong contender till her last performance due to her nasal voice and child like voice but in her last performance nasal affect was not that much.. and after that I am looking forward to her next performance to make up my mind.. right now.. not a final 5 contender..

                      Kaushik: A very good voice quality.. is very good in high notes.. the only thing I’m afraid is, he is gona be a one style singer.. besides that, he faces difficulty in lower notes.. and his range is not very wide.. on top of that he needs to learn to say words clearly during the songs.. sometimes Dundee marta hai.. I wont count him to be a strong contender for final 5 right now..

                      Debojit: To be honest.. this guy is being overhyped.. he has a lot to take care of.. clarification of words being the major one and I don’t think he will be able to control that problem during this show.. good in chalantar songs with high pitch and loud music.. but will face difficulty where the loud music will not be there to hide his problems or he has to sing a soft song in low notes.. on occasions he goes too high and seems to be shouting instead of singing.. I honestly don’t see him going too far.. but probably like VOI’s Zakir Hussain, the “special” child gimmick will work for him.. as for me.. not a final 5 contestant..

                      Zaheer: I can’t say anything about this guy with certainty.. to me.. he is well versed in classical singing and has a good potential.. my only concern about this guy WAS his tonal quality.. it suits only few kind of songs but with his last performance in duet.. he has given me something to think.. he changed his gram.. his base voice.. to get the “bharao” in his voice.. and I kinda liked it.. I’ll have to listen to him more.. but he definitely has the potential to go far.. right now.. not a very strong final 5 contender..

                      Shujaat: The most classically trained singer of the whole show.. has excellent control on his voice.. has been played down by the gurus after his second performance (threat to the script?) so he lost his confidence.. to me his performances have been better then most contestants.. very good tonal quality.. and I wont count him a “show off” when he inserts his own variations in songs.. its typical of “trained” singers.. they can’t stick to the script.. mussarat and amanat use to do it a lot.. I would count him in “playing mode” right now.. but he has to become serious pretty soon.. definitely a final 5 contender as far as I am concerned..

                      Okay enough said.. lets see if my predictions are right or not with the passage of time..

                      Cheers!

                        @AgentX,
                        Good observation but I beg to differ in some cases…
                        Naina… excellent voice quality, but sings only Richa Sharma songs. She is yet to prove herself in low notes .
                        Yashita… clear voice. But overconfidence may bring her downfall.
                        Debojit… not overhyped. Always gives soulful performances.
                        Kaushik and Naina… my two best bets
                        Shujad… I have my reservations!

                          thought of the day
                          seeing the flooding of different sites and links on this blog,my mind went to an eight year old incidence which i would to share with you people and request you to just see the light side of it.it was when i was a medical student and was studying in a famous medical college in lahore,we used to have a canteen.one of our hostel and class fellow ,imran,never used to pay the bill and used to ask the owner to write it down.once it rained for several days and it almost flooded.i was standing in hostel shade and the owner was standing next to me.i saw half of his canteen submerged in water,i said to him”mushtaq tumhare canteen to doub gaye?”and several years on,i still remember his answer,he said”je dr.sahib,adhe barish ne dobo de,adhe imran sahib ne dobo de” and ilaughed like hell.now im qouting it here because i feel saregamapa like that submerged canteen,but im unable to figure out those two factors responsible for this,may be you might be able to figure out those two?
                          @ agentx you gave a detailed analysis.i agree with you

                                @sara hater,

                                Correction ! you said ” and then the pakistan mahaguru eliminated the indian girl cuse of her.”, Ustad Amjad Ali khan is NOT a paksitani Mahaguru, He is one of the celebrated and Sarod player from India, the echo of his sarod strings resonates across the globe, and to top it all, he is the Padma Vibhushan winner, which if I’m not maistaken is the Highest civil award.

                                I obviously don’t care about Sara, but ustad amjad ali khan is India’s treasure. I’m quite sure you are one of the 0.1% of indians who do not appreciate his contribution to India and Indian classical music and you are commenting about a musical program ?

                                wait… 0.1% of india includes a gazillion people because of our population, I’d rather be content saying that YOU ARE THE ONLY INDIAN WHO DOES NOT KNOW USTAD AMJAD ALI KHAN .
                                I wonder !

                                    Mehfil.. the best thing would be just to ignore such people.. they dont know nothing about singing or rich heritage of our classical culture.. so, if they dont know about classical culture, how would they know about all the Asatzah?

                                        @Agentx

                                        Dude, partly agree with your analysis, and partly agree with rajdeep, and partly agree with Dockaul. somehow, there are so many other variables that can and DO influence the outcome of every reality show. While I do think that Kaushik is definitely a very strong contender and so are yashita, naina, pratibha,zaheer , deboit and shujaat (in no particular order), and this is puerly on their singing ability. but I am quite positive that in the end, drama, confusion, chaos and more TRP gimmicks will prevail and none of these will be the winner but somebody who either enters the contest through brahamashtra, shastra , booti shooti, or from some regional contest will surface as the winner, the ELEMENT of surprise is something that overshadows the whole SINCERITY of these shows. If i’m not mistaken Aneek Dhar was the winner of sargmp bengali and entered the SRGMP 07 half way through the contest and eventually became the winner. and like Dockaul said, the BEST seldom wins in reality shows, somehow the STRATEGICALLY PLACED, and Manipulated always stares the real winner in the face and in most cases gets away with the trophy. if you ask me, I’d say mussarat was the winner of 2007 or atleast the TOUGHEST contestant of 2007 but Himesh shamelessly sidelined him and that is something that makes me think if there is something called TRUE talent hunt, because if a himesh can influence the outcome and BL can make you gulp down a “MAIYYA MAAIYA” for weeks on end, you only wonder like Dockaul !

                                        But if everything goes the way it is ( I highly doubt that ! because of TRP reasons) you have mentioned the above the ordinary singers, or to say the least the contestants with real talent.
                                        BTW, I have deliberately not included Sara’s name , I maintain that she is a very ordinary singer, but thats just me !

                                            Great $hashi.. infact it has already started going that way.. the comments by Annu Kapoor to judges for just saying -ve comments about contestants.. where ila said “what if the contestants are not bad anywhere?”..

                                            They are desperately trying to bring some “questionable” things in as it is going too smooth to be a “reality” show..

                                            Anyways, it is still a whole lot better then SRGMP..

                                              @ Mehfil

                                              Agreed.. but as i said in the begining of my prediction..

                                              ” .. not considering external/unforeseen or dramatized reasons.. just purely on merit.. ”

                                              i was not trying to select a winner.. i was just counting their +ve and -ve points..

                                              winner is going to be decided by “janta!” (?) and surely TRP, SMS, population of village/city/state, poor family background (supported by toon toon taan taan in the show), special contestant (with tears from family members), counts a LOT.. just.. singing capability is overlooked..

                                              @Rajdeep..

                                              Yashita’s confidance is playing good for her right now.. we never know if it is gona be shattered.. so till that happens.. she’s a good bet..

                                              Debojit IS being over-hyped.. agreed that he sings with soul.. but in singing.. there are a lot more factors which are counted..

                                              Naina.. even if sings Richa Sharma songs.. she is doing it with complete control.. and thats sign of a good singer.. she just needs to avoid lower notes..

                                              Kaushik.. i wont count on him a lot if only singing is the merrit..

                                              just my two cents..

                                              Cheers!

                                                I agree. it’s a strong group of girls here in general and I hope most of them make the top 5. My fave is Mithika though – very distinctive voice – but I also like Yashita, Pratibha and Naina. Sarah has much confidence and personality but I do not believe she has the range of the others.

                                                      Dear $hashi & Mehfil,
                                                      As fellow music lovers I implore you to not disparage Gajendra Singh who has single handedly been reponsible for this current interest in Music reality shows. BTW I am sure that you guys must be knowing that GS has not been involved with SaraDrama for the past 3 years. Mehfil dear ,being from the filmi nagri I am sure you must be familiar with the fact that in TV & Films it is the PRODUCERS which rule. The crass commercialization of SRGMP must surely be due to the dictates of the Shylocks of ZeeTeeVee with GJ being a hapless puppet who was ultimately forced to quit .
                                                      Ultimately what matters is the CLASS of the performers. SRGMP was similarly tacky even last season..(Bappi Da’s walkout, Aneek – Sumedha- Amanat triangle ? , HR’s immortal Mujhe tere ghar mein Roti nahin Biryani chahiye, Da Darbar crying foul at Aneek’s win et al) The only reason all of us spent hours of our precious time watching,reviewing ,petitioning, ranting, crying etc. was because of the performers. Mussarat , Amanat, Poonam , Raja , Aneek etc who gave us endless enjoyment which tended to hide these horrendous moments.

                                                      Please do execuse my usual extended chawanni chap diatribe !
                                                      btw The Bharat Ratna is the highest civilian award in da desh. :-)

                                                        Dockaul,

                                                        Absolutely right, but gajendra singh is not the Gajendra S of the 80′s when he was the creator , hardly being seen, if I’m not mistaken, he started producing immediately after a few episodes of antakcharri Was he not the first prod. of antaksahri ? I do not know if he still is ! ) I beleive the VOI is also his thingy, is he the prooducer of VOI ? I dont know. I do know that a program is created and conceived purely on the basis of entertainment, all the X-FACTORs or the external factors are ADDED later for the monetary benefit.

                                                        Oh yeah I forgot about the bharat ratna.

                                                        BTW, look what I found, I’m sure you, Senty and all would like it.Old doordarshan coomercials and what not. enjoy

                                                            @ ss,

                                                            Can you explain how you measured the capabilities of Naina, Yashita and Pratibha and came to the conclusion that they are below average?? That means all these mahagurus are stupid to select them as good singers.

                                                            naina needs to learn the art and science of performance and eloquence from sara.

                                                              naina, yashita, pratibha and their sister deepawli are between the devil and the dead sea. on one hand, all they do is cram every sang they have to perform thus eliminating the soul (the could have hired robots instead of them ) and on the other hand, they have to compete with sara, someone with God gifted voice.
                                                              no matter how much good naina, pratibhra, deepawli, and yockhita put into their performance, they don’t have the gift of a ‘unique’ voice .I think they should pack their bags and stop wasting our time.

                                                                i Disagree with you , Pratibha is a good singer. Craming song is a different thing but singing with a full soul in it is the different thing. Out of those 3 that you have mentioned i do like pratibha.

                                                                  • At 2008.09.12 10:17, ss said:

                                                                      • At 2008.09.11 23:38, Kapil said:

Sara should be out because of the mistake and weak performace. Check the episode again to hear comments of judges on that day for both the performances and you will come to know what’s going on in the back. Also Tarro card lady was pure fraud and pre-planned as fight between Sara and Sathe was pure scripted to advertise tarrot card lady. Saregama is doing anything now to win viewership
