———————————————————————————-
Please do check out our forum and read our reviews on the show - http://melodyjunction.freeforums.org/challenge-2007-contestants-excel-t257.html

Be cool guyzs!!! lets ask Zaheer about your answer.then you’ll know.Do not act like a selfish.Its easy to criticize or comment to others.
I just only say that i am not going to watch saregamapa from today.even no zee TV any more.don’t worry Zaheer you are a good human being and a very very very good singer. you will success god bless you
i am very sad today.zee tv please leave music and politics seprate
he is good but not best..In Saregamapa show,he will reach top 5 If not Mumbia problem .I am also not Indian and paki.
I dont think zaheer derserved to be out but at this time i think its the best thing for him. With all thats going on in mumbai and the tension with pakistan his life would have been made very difficult in mumbai. Well thats life, its sometimes unfair and theres nothing else you can do but move on. I wish him all the best.

Dont..SAREGAMAPA,indianTV, indian movies should be banned from airing in pakistan..no entertainment for them.. like it is in the jihadi camps!
jeeeeesusssss…stop with all this writing..where are the videoooooooos?????? grrrrrrrrrr
All the pakis don’t deserved to be part of SAREGAMAPA. Whatever happened is great. We indians keep voting for them thats why he was there..Now we have voted him out what is unfair….nothing…
Pakis do deserved to be in any show. You fool, its not only Indians from India voted for him but people from the West Indies and all over the world. So shut up and stop talking about Pakis. You know they are damn good, so face it. Stupid.
indian are great guys. They allow us to participate in their show. Do we have any such kind of show in our Pak? Zaheer should be thankful to SAREGAMAPA for bringing him in the limelight and thankful to indians who voted for him till today. When he stayed we never complained but now he is out we are making excuses. Comeon..be mature this is the format of the show…
You are also an a-hole. Thankful to Saregamap for what!. Its his talent that brought him to where he is. Indians are very biassed and confused. Again I will say it, Saregamapa is a realty show that there to promote good singers. Judges should not take sides, but obviously they are. The show should only be for the Indians anyways and should not allow any other country singers to be in it because they hurt peoples feelings. One more thing, you dumbo, does the television telecast any Pakis show?.
I think the best jodi is sumedha karmahe & soumen nandi. sumedha sing is better than the original, and soumrn is also singh good
HAHAHAHAHAH YAR SAREGAMAPASHOW SHOULD BE THANK FUL TO ALL THE PARTICIPANT ….NT ZAHEER ALL THE PARTICEPENT AND ONE THING TAHT FRAZZ BUTT WAS ALSO A GOOD SINGER BUT HE WAS ELIMINATED IT SJUST TRY TO UNDERSTAND OK…
all the singers are very talented in this show. Some one has to go..whay not Zaheer!
He is good but not the best….
I am asking those people who don’ want to see the show anymore…WHY?
When an Indian singer goes out they never cry!
ONLY SEE THE TALENT NT SEE THAT PAKI AUR INDIAN..INDIAN SINGER ARE ALSO WELL ONLY DEBHOJIT IS THE BEST SINGER OK..BUT IF INDIAN SINGER SHOW THEIR TALENT WE ARE ALSO APPRICIATE LIKE DEBOJITT OKKK
Zaheer singing is very good due to bombay blast reason zaheer is eliminated but its not good bacause he is a good person and he sings very very good. best of luck zaheer
kaha gaya hai jab koi ak galat kaam karta hai to uske sath jude hue sabhi logo ko uske saath sunna padta hai ye sahi kaha gaya hai jiska jita jagta sabut zaheer hai ab bechare uski kya galti thi lekin logo ne usko pakistan ka samajh kar vote nahi diya aur wo aaj eliminate ho gaya mere hisab se zaheer ko wild card ke zarite entry milni chahiye
agar india aur pakistan ke halat sahi ho jaate hai
YAR VOTE KA PROB NAHI HAI BAS YE DRAMA MIL GAYA THA ZAHEER KO ELIMINATE KERNE KA BAS KIYO KE AGAR ZAHEER ELIMINATE NA HOTA TO HE WILL BE THE WINEER TRY TO UNDERSTAND AB YE BATAYO MUJHE ASMA IS THE GOOD SINGER NO SHE IS NT THE SINGER JUST TO ENTARINAMENT THE PROGRAMS LIKE JOKE AND LAUGHING PLZ TRY TO UNDERSTAND OKKK TAKE CARE
Before the show was telecast I told my wife that Zaheer would be eliminated. It happened like that. All what happened is drama. What a show is this? They are cheating the public. When ever they want their favorite contestants to win they change rules. Last week there should have been elimination but they changed the rule. I was a regular watcher of this show. Now I have lost interest in all the reality shows…..
saregamapa now going to flop. last time bhi amant ke sath insaf nahee huwa tha. ab to program hi change ho gayaa hai politice ker raha hai kabhi. pakistan ke sath aur kabhi sirf india ke sath. un ko program maine yeh messaeg dena tha ke pyar see hi log miltee hain na ke jang see
adhesh is very very stupid juje in show

General common people of Pakistan is getting badly effected due to this type of terrorist attacks.
Zaheer had a wonderful voice. N remember that he was topper in last 2 weeks.
SO what if he was a topper! You guys blamed the voting department when Amanat/Raja didn’t become the topper. Now why talk about public response!!!
Pratibha and Soumen are the best!!!
i totally agree with vijay.please wild card entry se zaheer ko wapis bolaya jaya .ya ye sirf RAJA HASSAN kay liye hi tha .zaheer terrorist to nahi hay.please zee tv agar ap janta ki baat sach mai mantay ho to zaheer kay liye wild card entry karo.

aru han ji asma eik show piece her performence me hit lenny wali top 6 me ajoba he bhaye ajooba
Well, what i see is something very absurd. I happened to be watching a cricket match of ICL – Indian Cricket League which was in its group stages, the host usually calls upon some celebrities for the day & it happened to be Debojit of Sargeamapa 2009 as the finalist. So where does the question arise of Zaheer to be sent back as the finalist were already decided more than 1.5 – 2 months. These reality shows are a serious crap!!
I dont agree with lots of my fellows.
I think Zee took wise decision, otherwise it would be very humilating for him, whenever they disccuss Mumbai Attacks or say any thing against Pakistan.
I was not expecting Zaheer to be out as he deserves to be in TOP 3, but what hap happened and whats going on is better for him to keep himself away from this Show.
Lets the Best Would WIN.
I Hope Zee would bring Naina or Mitka Back.
Cheers!!!!!!!!!!
Hello!!
Shashi has to be back at the first place!!!!
Hmmm! A new Observer!!! Just wanted to inform the old bloggers!!!
I have stopped writing but I do read your posts from time to time!!!
Agree 100%
But one thing though if Zaheer was there he would have won anyways – All Raja and Amanat supporters would have voted Raja!!!
Now bash me as much as you can!!
I mean voted Zaheer.
dont worry all of our dreams have been crused
SRGMP IS THE BEST
It was probably the best day for SRGMP 2009. The striking workers are now paid $12 per hour (Aditya earns a little more – $1,000 per day). Old SRGMP champions came to encourage the new ones. Asma’s talent was in the spotlight – scenes from her movie sparked audience’s enthusiasm.
Asma stole the show (despite the shrieks emanating from Raja’s windpipe). Debojit Saha, Vaishali was the best team. Aneek, Yashita rocked. Mauli, Debojit duet was superlative. Soumen, Sumedha are made for each other. Raja shrieked through the song as usual claiming he was paid $10,000 per concert.
Zaheer was missed but Aadesh said it the best, “The cowardly terrorist attack on Mumbai is a far more important issue than Zaheer being voted out.” In fact, Pakistan canceled the India trips planned by Ustaad Gulam Ali, singer Zaheer Abbas, and a number of other prominent Pakistanis, including the ISI chief.
The good news is that the Pakistan government is trying their best to round up the terrorists, including Dawood Ibrahim, and hand them over to India for a taste of democratic justice. India won’t kill them; they will only be introduced to the victims’ families in a dark alley. The world community (United Nations, US, UK, China, Israel, Russia, Germany, etc.) have requested Pakistan to expedite the process so that Pakistan can continue to receive financial aid, otherwise Pakistan could be declared a terrorist state. The captured terrorist ‘Kasab’ (which apparently means a ‘butcher’ in Urdu) misses his family and the good food they bought with US aid money.
Finally, SRGMP is back with full force – better late than never.
Que Sera Sera! Let us all pray for the souls of all the innocents! As far as the terrorists go, they are now in the deepest pits of HELL enjoying their hard earned place!!
I am not an Indian nor Pakistani, but I sincerely think that Pakistan must do all they can to clear their country of these terrorist dens!Unless and until they do this, Pakistan will be deemed a rouge state by the world.
Another thing that Noticed in the lst show,the Himesh Besharamiyya guy agreed to sing the theme song of Karz together with Aneek and when he realised that Aneek’s voice is so much bettet thn his, he quickly stop singing the song and put and end to it. What a shame!! Spoilsport!!

Sorry for the double submission!
And for those people who are swearing in this forum, do you think that Pakistan will do a show like SRGMP and invite Indians to take part and be very neutral about that. I wish to see how Pakistanis would behave if SRGMP is done in Pakistan and the same thing happened!
gosh im never commenting on this site again
nobody thinks all think about religion and colr or nationality not as people
the best episode of srgmp so far!!
What did Adesh mean? What does Zaheer’s singing and unproven accusations against Pakistan have in common? Ridiculous show, utter nonsense. I expect Indians to be more mature. Please DO NOT invite Pakistanis ever again into this show if you are so biased an hypocritical. Ammmaaazing, Asma (Miss No Sur) is in top 6 and Zaheer is out!!!
Anyway, Sumedha sung so well. Its amazing how dumb and thick-headed those composers sitting there are! No one takes her to sing for them. Im sure these “big composers” have regional or other biases. Kudos to Vishal-Shekhar for taking Raja, I liked that song without even knowing he was singing it. And Aneek-Yashita deserved more praise than the bored and uninterested “gurus” gave them. They simply rocked the song, with supppper variations in the harmonies, even better than the original song!
Zaheer was undoubtedly one of the best and would have definitely been voted for by the people had he participated during the last two weeks. The sad circumstances howerevr made his physical presence impossible, so that the listneres could not vote for him as compared to those who were there! I donot think it has anything to do with Zaheer’s being Pakistani or anything …. so Friends STOP bringing these kind of sentiments and arguments in this kind of an active and live show! Please note that listeners tend to vote only those singers they are able to listen to!! I think Zee TV and this show have a long way to bring the people of the world together — so STOP mud-throwing. Best regards
Zaheer was being voted as the best. Why your did government not let him travel and participate. And if you think you are in a position to do something comparable in Pakistan then go ahead and do it —– Think of the small minds of the people over there, who even tried stopping Sarah to sing!
I think it is only fair and correct, if Zee TV Management wer to persuade the Pakistan Government to let Zaheer participate in the competetion. Looking at the public sentiment here or anywhere else, it can be assumed that he is eligible for a wild-card re-entry into the competetion BUT not because he is a pakistani! He should get a fair chance once again, as he was eliminated because of the lack of the possibility of evaluation by the public as a singer. The whole thing has nothing to do with his religion or nationality —- that should be made clear without any doubt. Stay blessed!
SRGP lost his charms now. Nehow watever happened was good.Good for zaheer`s security.Although music is the language of love and has no boundaries but its my request to all pakis dont ever participate in any indian show. I know they have big market and good exposure but watever happened in INDIA they always blame pakistan. I am very much in favour of INDO PAK frndship, but not lyk this, in pak there are hundreds of bomb blast occured during few years but we did not blame india but they blamed widout ne prove. Terrorists are the enemies of both of us , and if we want to finish them we have to work together, but not like this. I really like india and indian peoples i have so many frndz here in dubai and all say it was a try to demolish frndship of these two gr8 nations.
Hi all,
I have been watching SRGMP for since it started 2 years ago. Somehow I had the feeling that all is not FAIR but still continued to watch because i liked the singing and i wanted to enjoy that more than what the SO CALLED GURUS had to say.
All i can say here to my Indian friends is that please don’t fall into the trap laid by some of the corners for you and the Pakistanis to fight on the basis of terrorist attacks which both the countries are victims of.
The reality shows at best have NO REALITY and the fact is that they are glamorised to the limit. Everything looks so FILMY and SO FAR FROM REALITY.
My message to Zaheer is that don’t loose heart and keep singing the way you do. The world will comeback to you – definitely!! You are being made scapegoat by the ZEE TV as they fear public anger against their shows if they continue with you.
Moreover, if they (ZEE) had allowed Zaheer to continue in the programme, it would go against their own biased propaganda that is raised in their NEWS CHANNEL about Pakistan.
This is very very strange that a whole country is being put on trial by media and unfortunately the decision is also given by the same very media.
I am very much in favour of FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION but there is that underlined word called HONESTY AND RESPONSIBILITY with their profession.
Man Aasma needed to go…she is the worst singer. After all, it is a singing competition and people should be judged on their singing talent and now how much they can act/perform/etc. Aasma is the most besura person on the show and many other talented singers including Zaheer have been eliminated before her, which I think is unfair.
Hi Everyone, Asma Rafi Eliminated from Saregamapa 2009……..next episode……thats true……believe me!!!!!!!!!!!!
