Aditya announces that, the audience in today’s studio are from Old age home..
The second topper in today’s episode is Yashita.. Aditya says, there is something to show for you.. In the AV, her mother gives a message for her.. She shows a pic and says, this is not Yashita but me.. I wanted to become a singer but never got the support from my family and my husband.. My husband wanted a boy and he was upset when Yashita was born.. But her smile attracted him and he loved her to the core.. Yashita was just 4 years when her father passed away.. She was eating a chocolate while her father was lying down and she was unaware of death.. She was 5 yrs when she sang her first song. I wanted her to learn music but had no money to send her for classes.. Then Mr. Madhusudan Trivedi accepted her as student and he refused to take money when he came to know my condition. I would say Yashita – Make ur own personality, money and people will stand in queue.. I have made shows for 200 rs and have begged for shows.. I request that you make a life of your own.. Her mother is sitting in the studio and starts crying seeing the AV.. Yashita says, I want my mother and brother to be on stage when I sing.. She sings sur mayi akhiyon mein.. MD – Illayara.. Singer – Yesudas.
Yashita’s mother – It was very good.. I would like to thank srgmp for this platform.. Thanks for mentors for the support.. I never thought she would come this far.. Her brother also appreciates her performance.
Aadesh – Hope you get the strength and you fulfill your mother’s dream.. History
Shankar – You are singing in both falsetto and your own voice.. There are very few singers who can do this.. This will make you one of the top singer in the world.. history.

[...] You can read the review of this episode here [...]
Tarun is out, that’s fine with me. But when is this Croak queen leaving! She is cloying! I can’t stand her any more. This is too much!!
Mann karta hai ki “ut”-ki danda se usko du ek?
Hahahaha!!! I do agree that she is not a good singer. But according to the show producers, she will bring fun factor coz of which she is thr.. So, lets throw out these producers and directors out of the show!!
LOL ! This one gets my vote, sms, txtmsg, email, fax watever…. lets throw out the creative team too please.
lets reverse the show.. give a special na-real type award to the worst component of the show and throw it out each week. Lets begin with the COSTUME designer !!
Zaheer does not deserve to be in bottom 3.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Zaheer. His song selection is getting worse day by day. He is also not putting a lot of effort in his singing lately (this week and last week). May be he is gradually losing his confidence courtesy of the destructive criticism by the judges?
I agree Zaheer is losing his appeal to the audience. Too bad. He should take a cue from Yashita or Sara, and show some zest.
There are many who like Asma’s performances, so it gets quite annoying when forum members with a ‘superior-than-thou’ attitude keep offering gratuitous criticism of her (and of Himesh). Enough! Some of us are really sick of your whining. Face the reality!
asma is not good singer. sheis only fun piece.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was just watching the Qawalli special episode… looks to me like a complete repeat telecast of last year’s Saregamapa:
Pratibha – Nigaahein milaane ko jee chahta hai (remember Sumedha did that last year)
Vaishali – Aaja re mahi (Poonam sang that last year)
Zaheer – Afreen (Mussarrat last year)
Show is still going on and I am expecting some more common songs. Only disappointment is last year’s performances were just extra-ordinary, especially Afreen by Musarrat.
However, Pratibha was just awesome.
Earlier Pratibha had sung Hawa Hawai which again was also sung by Sumedha last year.
Another thing common, among all the participants Sumedha and Pratibha are both easiest on the eye, imho.
