  dear truth
  i call utter and total bullshit on your reportage, please do us a favor and post links where in Asha ji said aneek was the best singer in srgmp? This incident only happened in your dreams( when you were fantasising about oink oink- i mean aneek , lol)
  Pandit Jasraj said that Amanat was the BEST SINGER period( not for the specific episode). Do go back and watch that episode on youtube
  best, it might do wonders for your delusional mind

    I know that Vishal told Aneek that he is a kickass singer.
    What I did not realize is that Aneek has also kicked ass of so many people

    Attaboy Aneek!

    Anybody who supports Aneek is a fraud according to the Great Annon!
    Anybody who criticizes bengali singers are knowledgeble!

      sheesh the brain dead retards on here! it obviously doesnt register in your pea brain that i am NOT antibengali , i am only against a region voting time and time again to push “their” candidates irrespective of merit, that happens not just with bengali singers but is infact the format that ZEE thrives on( creating artificial wars between nations and cities) and they are total jackasses for doing that as are all the jackasses who are voting for “their ” regional candidates, y’all suck hard..

      dear dock
      keep up with good work , love to read your educated opinions as opposed to the blowhards on here.

  He converted to Christianity when he was a 6th grader!
  He probably has his own reasons to support whatever party he supports I am not really focusing on that part but when it comes to his achievements as an Asian and an immigrant in this competitive country he deserves credits for being able to compete with his fellow dumb ones in his own party to rise to that point.

  I don’t support his ideologies but I give him credits for being able to rise to that point inspite of being a member of such a racist group.

  It does NOT matter if a singer is a Bengali or not. THE MOST DESERVING BENGALI SINGER ANWESHA DUTTA GUPTA DID NOT WIN VOI CU O.K.?? So don’t say that always bengali participants win!! FYI Debojit performed excellently in JJWSS and Mussarat performed really badly in Ek se bar kar ek. My point is once a good singer is always a good singer.

    I am neither Bengali nor Gujarati, but think that Aishwarya Majmudar was more deserving than Anwesha… I think most people thought the same and thats why she won..

    • At 2008.11.06 23:27, Ms Analyst said:

      Sorry, but most people (including me) thought otherwise.

      Anwesha was one of the best female contestants of these reality shows (if not THE BEST)in recent years. Aishwarya was good but Anwesha was much better.

      She did not win because public voted less for her.Do not want to bring regional issues here.

      Again my opinion…

      • At 2008.11.07 01:58, AnuyaKulkarni said:

        Aishwarya & Anwesha – both are way way better than all these female singers from Saregama this year… Aishwarya has attempted some of the most difficult songs and sang them perfectly like.. “Kesariya Balama”, “Albela Sanjan aayore”, “Manamohana bade jhoothe” – a very very difficult song.. even if that competition would have soley judged by judges I mean without the public voting, I am sure Aishwarya would have won it.. IMHO.

        [Reply]
        • At 2008.11.07 13:59, Ms Analyst said:

          True…Aishwarya sang some really difficult songs.But Anwesha sang difficult songs too like “Bawariya re”, “ek radha ek meera”, “tere mehfil pe” and more recent ones like “gaa re mann piya piya”, “mere dholna”.To me she personified perfection.

          I am not qualified to say who was better, but I thought Anwesha was more matured,had a better control and had an vast range.On the other hand Aishwarya’s voice quality was better and sang with a lot of feeling.
          …IMHO Anwesha truely deserved to win.

          One thing I agree 100% with you: they both were way better than the contestants (both male & female) we are discussing in this forum.

  @ dockaul

  “Me thinks u r confusing Best singer with Most popular.. Ankke was good, popular… but best .. umm.. sorry ! have to differ..”

  That is the point.In your opinion, Aneek was not good enough to be the winner.But that is just your opinion. Both Amanat and Aneek were fabulous singers. Both of them were classically trained in their resp. gharanas. Most of us ( general public), do not have the knowledge to judge them on their technicalities.
  IMHO both Aneek and Amanat had the potential to win.You definitely have the right to be frustrated at Amanat’s loss but please do not take away Aneek’s credit because he equally deserved the title.

      What to do dockaul ! I do not have any interest left to discuss this year’s Saragama.There were some good performances here and there but overall the level has hit bottom low.

      Yeah I heard Pradip Somasundaran on youtube.Actually this video has been uploaded by him.He is awesome.It’s a pity that he has never been offered to sing by any music director.

        Ek Ghazal to the “Departed” soul of Saregamapa ….& some lines for fellow bloggers..

        Writer Saba Afgani Singer Jagjit Singh Album – Desires

        Gulshan ki faqat phoolon se nahin kaaton se bhi zeenat hoti hai,
        jeene ke liye is duniya mein gham ki bhi zaroorat hoti hai. {SaraDrama 2009}

        Ae waaiz-e-naadan karta hai tu ek qayamat ka charcha,
        yahan roz nigahen milti hain yahan roz qayamat hoti hai. {Hum Sab}

        Wo pursish-e-gham ko ayae hain kuch keh na sakoon chup reh na sakoon,
        khaamosh rahoon to mushkil hai keh doon to shikaayat hoti hai. {Mere dil ka dil-emma!!}

        Karna hi padega jabt-e-alam peene hi padenge ye aansoo,
        fariyaad-o-fugaan se aey naadaan tauheen-e-mohabbat hoti hai. { NY ?? }

        Jo aake ruke daaman pe ‘Saba’ wo ashq nahin hai paani hai,
        jo ashq na chhalke aankhon se us ashq ki keemat hoti hai. {Mitika & Naina’s graceful exit}

        The Hindi translation –
        गुलशन कि फ़क़त फूलों से नहीं काटों से भी जीनत होती है,
        जीने के लिए इस दुनिया में ग़म कि भी ज़रूरत होती है.

        ऐ वाइज़-ए-नादां करता है तू एक क़यामत का चर्चा,
        यहाँ रोज़ निगाहें मिलती हैं यहाँ रोज़ क़यामत होती है.

        वो पुर्सिश-ए-ग़म को आये हैं कुछ कह ना सकूं चुप रह ना सकूं,
        खामोश रहूँ तो मुश्किल है कह दूं तो शिक़ायत होती है.

        करना ही पड़ेगा जब्त-ए-अलम पीने ही पड़ेंगे ये आंसू,

  Did some one say Sara got eliminated? well… she was definately better than Asma. At least her accent was not as thick as Asma. is there any particular reason why Asma is still in the run. Now please dont tell me she looks hot etc etc..

  the three finalists should be Pratibha, Vaishali & Soumen. rest all can go. & these 3 will have to prove themselves so that no one can comment on their ability.

  @ Asma fan!
  Research!! Kindly do point out to me my words which may indicate I am disappointed at the loss of Amanat & Aneek winning..
  I agree with your contention that we the aam ppl are not qualified to comment on these fledgling singers of Age 17 & 19 resp.. LOL!
  Boss maine nahin kaha.. Unne kahan.. Castigate Pt. Jasraj & Jagjit Singh.. Reality Bites ..

  The only thing I am ever frustrated about is shallow comments based on Regionalism, Nationality, Gender etc. ( NY’s Patthar Puttri is an honorable exception )

  Now this debate is getting rather tiresome & I request any further comment should contain some concrete facts & do read, understand & then accuse…

  Viashali and Debojit a loved your perpormances. Keep it up. I think Viashali, Debojit and Yashita are the best singers and at least should be in top 3 if you look at at from a singing perspective not looks, being hot, cute or funny since its a singing competion. Pratiba is also a great singer but personaly i feel less emotions in her songs. I think Asma should have be out not Tarun and Sara again from a singing petspective and Afghan music lovers.

  Has anyone seen the ZeeMarathi little champs sargamapa show? even those 8-10 year old ones sing thousand times better than most of the Zee Hindi Saregamapa contestants. Has any one tried to sing a particularly difficult song so far?
  If they want to show real talent they must try some of the songs below..
  for girls-
  ‘Tu badal main bijuri’-reshma aur shera
  ‘Kesariya balama’ – Lekin
  ‘Jhoote naina’ -Lekin
  ‘more ghar aye sajanva’-imaandar
  ‘ja ja re ja baalamava’ -basant bahaar
  ‘jaaoon tore charan kamal’-sursangam

  for guys-
  ‘surmayi sham’- lekin
  ‘re man sur me ga’ – lal mahal
  ‘aayo kahna se ghanshaam’-buddha mil gaya
  ‘aao aao savariya’ -padosan

  Anyone who can justify these songs is a real champion.
  lets see…

    Fantabulastic set of songs in your list. “Has any one tried to sing a particularly difficult song so far?” I cant crack up more than I already have… so a silly LOL is all I can muster. Mind you, we got Asma, the brightest star of the show, beating the tubelights out of the rest of the contestants.

          Wow senty… geet gaya ‘patthharone’… Asma ‘Rocks’… wow… i havent come across the use of metaphor which is so subtle and yet such powerful impact… way to go…

          Frankly speaking… this year’s saregamapa is really crap.. i dont understand why cant they select some other songs… its so boring to listen to the same songs again and again.. and no matter how well Soumen sang ‘Tu to jane na.. maine ki teri bandagi’.. i cant still forget how Raja sang it… Zaheer sang ‘Afreen’ this year but i still have Musarrat in mind…

          Also.. i dont know why male contestants are loosing interest.. first Tarun.. and now Zaheer.. i think they feel that their own mentor HR is supporting girls… it shouldnt be that way.. whoever sings the best should win.. i remember in one of the episodes, Vaishali was the topper and Zaheer was 2nd topper and Aaditya asked HR how did he feel about that.. he said.. i know a girl will will this time.. i was like come on..

          Anyway, but more than anything i get surprised that Asma was not even in bottom 3 in last episode.. which makes me think..is this for real? do people really vote for her? i dont know who’s going to be eliminated today.. i really feel that Shashi & Arshad would have taken the competition in another level.. Shame in HR that he chose to give a 2nd chance to Asma and not someone like Arshad..

• At 2008.11.07 01:40, Basit said:

  we r not saying Aneek was bad singer, rather he is the best if we compare to the current srgm lot. But the point doc was making with a rationale is that Amanat was better than Aneek. And he gave very authentic references of the people who r master of sangeet regardless of the voting drama.
  Now if u r sticking with Vishal-Shekhar comments then here is one for ur taking:
  On many occasions Shekhar said ” Amanat! you are the most versatile singer in this competetion”, and ” You are above this competetion”

  And now If you like Aneek, I respect that but keep that as ur opinion and don’t try to impose..
  I think enough has been written on this debate and it should be closed now for good.
  Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!

  Please let’s focus on the singers, not on their demographics. It’s natural to support your own type but it’s extremely important to select the rightful winner. If I voted only for my best friends, I think my dog sings better that all contestants – but I still act more responsibly and vote for the princess of good music – Asma, who else?
