Zaheer definately deserved what he earned.
Now “my friends” (reminds me of McCain
)please don’t bash me. Me like Pratibha a lot.
zaheer you deserve to get sangeet chaker .you sing very well sufi music.i am crying when you sing .pritam is also crying.

I think Yashita has been the most consistent of all and good at all genre. Every time she sang she scored history with all judges. Also she is the most confident of all in performing on the stage.
Soumen and Zaheer are very good also and have been very consistent. I feel Soumen is the dark horse, he may have some great performances before all is said and done.
Pratibha is a notch below the above three because she has not been as consistent compared to above 3. Her genre is classical variety and no one beat her at that I think.
Debojit is good, he is an emotional singer but not not as consistent as the above 4. He sings from the heart and no one can come close to him in singing from the heart.
Vishali had couple of great peroformances but again not consistent and is sort of all over the chart with her performances…even today she was mediocre.
The remaining 4 are not in the league of above 6 and should be eliminated before the above 6 if people vote according to the talent on display in various genre, not just one week.
One singer who was unfairly eliminated was Mitika Kanwar. She was a versatile singer and was great at falseto. She needed to be in the top 7 or 8 at a minimum.
I agree Mitika should still be here. Was sad to see Kaushik go – he is very good.
Yashita rocked!! It is sad that people are still intimidated by confident women. Wish her all the best.
I wish Zaheer will be the winner of this competion.Keep up Zaheer, the whole India is with you and voting for you without any hesitation. India Know how to appreciate a good singer like you. We feel proud of you boy!
Sara does not deserve this stage. Other singers are far better than her. and above all- she maintains this aura around her like she is superior – comes from heaven or some place like that
Sarah should be eliminated. she has a
“we are Pakistani, we are the greatest – you are nothing” attitude.
Singing wise also she is below average.
Sounds like a must watch episode! Thanks Anu.
Superb…Outstanding Mind Blowing…. Historyyyy…
This episode by far was one of the best episodes
great lovely singing by all…
now they should have classical and ghazal round sometimes… looking forward to more good music
Thanks,Anu,for a vivid update.
I want to say all the candidates are very very good & or unke jazi’s bhi jinhone itni sunder awaze chuni, but i am feeling sad to elemination of kaushik coz. he is very good singer. I pray to god for him.
very good u r very nice person and good singer
Sara very good u r very nice person and good singer
zaheer u r very nice and good singer and u deserve the winner of saregamapa 2009
Zaheer was MINDBLOWING.
I think he is amomg the top 3 contestants to win SRGMP.
But then again, are the votes real or does ZEE make them up?
If they are real, he might not wing, because SRGMP is a POPULARITY contest, and i dont think Zaheer is popular. He never created drama, looks old, lost hair and look 28… srry thats how i think it is.
vote 4 zaheer abbas….coz…HE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!
