Lata Mangeshkar to be on Amul Star Voice of India

Written on June 20, 2007 – 7:43 am | by admin |

Lata Mangeshkar Amul Star Voice of IndiaIf Sa Re Ga Ma Pa on Zee thought it had worked out a master-blaster of a plan by getting Asha Bhonsle on the show, then they’ve a shock awaiting them. For the grand finale of Star’s Amul Voice Of India, Gajendra Singh has convinced Lata Mangeshkar to preside as the chief guest and super-judge .

The reluctant diva was convinced, via her sister Usha Mangeshkar, to be part of the reality show. Says a source, “Lataji has always been shy of going on TV and she had completely turned down Gajendra Singh every time he had approached her. What tilted the scales in his favour was sister Asha Bhonsle’s appearance on Zee TV’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa . Apart from the fact that Lataji’s family convinced her to be on the rival show, she is very impressed with the new musical talent. She has encouraged everyone from composers Laxmikant-Pyarelal to singers like Suresh Wadkar, Anuradha Paudwal , Alka Yagnik, Sunidhi Chauhan and Shreya.”

Though no money has been discussed, apparently a handsome donation will be made to Lata Mangeshkar’s hospital in Pune, in return for her appearance on the show.

This will be the singing diva’s first TV appearance since the music talent show Meri Awaaz Suno on Star Plus, which she had co-produced. Confirming the news Gajendra Singh says, “Yes, Lataji has agreed to be on our show. But it’s too early to talk about it.”

    Hi,This is dipen Gada from Baroda(Gujarat).I am too disappointed with the elimination of Ashpreet..on 24/08/07.I would request you to bring her back into the competition.I believe that you should have 2 winners in the competion one must be female singer and other must be a male singer,so that there is no injustice done to the girls.We have found that all the girls are eliminated and some boys who don even sing properly are there for no reason in the competition.i hope you will look into the matter very seriously.

    Thnaks & Regards

    Good point … she has the most unique voice of them all. While Mirande / Sumitra Iyer have a voice that is very common in todays genre … Arshpreet has a unique voice and it will be a real shame. They ought to have some method of recalling a truly good & unique voice

    Hi, God knows whats going on on VOI. Not even a single VIEWER can cast a vote according to the singers talent and capabilities rather they just go for areas or regions from where thy belong to and that is totally unfair. Are u finding a Voice of India or a PRIMEMINISTER for India?????

    If I may put a comment, I would like to say that the judges from the Agni team are just not a sport.They either are a frustrated bunch or have a complexity within.People should appreciate others and I mean from Prithvi Team.Its on a mass poll and let the People of India and World decide Who’s the best.I personally never liked the comments made by Mr Lalit Pandit and Mr Adesh Srivastava about the Prithvi team.Music is very devine and demands submisiveness and serenity but the above two gentleman only imbibe arrogance, selfishness and futility into their Pupils.
    As a Viewer I would like to have them more respect for the fellow Team.

    Congratulations ASVOI, you have mastered the art of DECPTION, something like the Ninja cult. The part I like the best is that I already know who the ASVOI is going to be. I guess no one in India could fathom a guess but here’s a hint. Aadesh Shrivastav gets up from his chair to go and usher this particular singer on the stage, and the judges (only male) are drooling everytime she comes on stage and Aadesh keeps mouthing “kya baat hai”, and the special geusts make comments like “HOT VOICE”, “TOO GOOD” “WONDERFUL”, whereas for poor suckers like Irfan the comments are like “This, remember is a singing competition”, and for Ishmeet “You have a GOD GIFTED voice BUT you dont have those minute PAITRAS”. THe list of contradictory comments are never ending. And then there is SHAAN, what can I say about that joker, he is really THE JOKER IN THE PACK, who doesnt have a bloody clue whats going on behind closed doors and comes on stage and clowns around while the BIG BOYS (male judges, AADESH, JATIN, LALIT) are having their piece of the “HOT VOICE”.

    Then there’s another side to this story. Toshi stood out as one of the voices of voices, and he would have stripped the “VERY HOT VOICE” by the proverbial mile, so what do the producers do, who incidentally are MUMBAIKARS, they close the voting lines when the whole of India is trying to vote for TOSHI. Here’s how it works, the producers and Aadesh, jatin ana lalit, watch the votes till “VERY HOT VOICE” has got the most number of votes, then they immideatly close the voting lines, so all you poor suckers with your little mobile phones keep sending SMS’s that dont get registered.

    SO thats how they got rid of TOSHI. Might I add that a bit of Religion had something to do with it, for those who dont know Toshi is a Muslim. Which means Poor IRFAN might as well pack it in right now and take up a job as a tailor or such.

    Then the next big hurdle PRIYANI VANI, so the Modus Operandi remains the same and we are rid of her, because had she stayed then “VERY HOT VOICE” would have to go, because on that day “VERY HOT VOICE” sang a load of tripe. Well so we got rid of PRIYANNI, and like a magician has a distraction act, check out ABHIJEET’s act. He starts bringing up “Bring back TOSHI” fever. Isnt he the one who said that from this day forth, the day Toshi was eliminated, Toshi was his brother and he had adopted Toshi. Now why does Abhijeet want him back, is it because he cant come good on the promises he made to Toshi on national Tv.

    So now folks we are getting to the finale and I request all you poor ASVOI addicts to watch closely, there are still a few good voices that have to be ELIMINATED before “VERY HOT VOICE” wins.

    Voices like Harshit, AABhass, Ishmeet, Irfan, Abhilasha. Hey reminds me Abhilasha, last week she sang “AA Jaane Jaa…” That had Jatin saying she was the VOI and she was next to the likes of LATA Ji. Comeon friends we all know what Jatin was hinting at, and since he didnt get IT, no guessing where Abhilasha was sitting this week, yes you guessed in the bottom four.

    So before I reveal who the ASVOI is going to be let me take this precious opportunity to congratulate the producers and Judges (male) on their stirling performances in making us STUPID INDIANS watch the show. Actually I forgot to mention it earlier, but now’s not too late, ALL US INDIANS WATCHING TV ARE REALLY DUMB, and the BIG MOMENT has come when I must reveal the WINNER.

    As in cricket where we have the MUMBAI lobby so it is with The ASVOI.

    THE WINNER IS “VERY HOT VOICE” SUMITRA IYER.

    YEAH YEAH, take a bow Judges, Shaan, ASVOI.

    CHEERS!!!!

    What you ASVOI team think , we Indians are DUMB NUTS or NUMB NUTS.

    I was excited to hear that Lata Mangeskar would be the guest for the finale,

    However, with some of the top singers like Toshi, and ABHAAS having been eliminated, it is a shame that the finale is not justified by having the great singer Lata Mangeshkar judge the show……

    Hi All,

    Fist Of all VOI is a good show and its giving us good entertainment.Shaan is the best host I have ever seen.CHEERS SHAAN.
    However Mr.Producer I have some remarks to give.”WAT U DID TO TOSHI” was not justified .he is an amazing singer and has immense potential and u cannot ask us “DUMB Public who are not a PHD in MUSIC to select VOI and secondly i hear sooo many funny comments about wild card entry..other than sumitra every participant is feeling “INSECURE” because they are worried where will toshi come back.

    Ms.ABHILASH GOES ON MAKING MISTAKES its not the first time.Common its “SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST”.she dares to say that wildcard entry is not appropriate .so “ENTRY” did she get?.

    Mr.HARSHIT ur a TALENTED SINGER but u too did mistakes and REMEMBER PUBLIC can decide wrng things against u too.

    THERE ARE 3 AMAZING TALENTS AND ONE WHICH WAS THERE BUT NO ONE HEARD HIM”VIPUL”.TOSHI,SUMITRA AND IRFAAN.THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING MAKE THE RIGHT PEOPLE VOICE OF INDIA SOMEONE WHO CAN CREATE WAVES WITH HIS VOICE NOT ANY ORDINARY TALENT.

    ALSO “I WANT TO SAY IT LOUDLY IS TOSHI DOENOT GET VOI NO PROBLEM .HE IS GREAT SINGER HE IS ONE OF THE REAREST AND HE WILL COME UP THERE WILL BE MUSIC COMPANIES THAT WILL LUANCH HIM IN THE 1 BILLION POPULATION 30% ARE FANS OF TOSHI THE REST OF THE PARTICIPANTS CANNOT CREATE THE EFFECT OVER PEOPLE WE WILL BUY HIS ALBUMS AND WE THE PEOPLE WILL BACK HIM UP.TOSHI REMEMBER UR THE BEST.WE ALL LOVE UR VOICE.NEVER LOOSE GRIP OVER UR VOICE AND NEVER FORGET THAT NO ONE CAN BEAT U.

    REQUEST TO JUDGES AND SHAAN AND MR.PRODUCER

    PLEASE LET THE RIGHT GUYS SELECT TALENTS .I AM SOFTWARE ENGG AND I CAN CREATE ONLY SOFTWARE I CANNOT JUDGE A GUY WHO IS THE BEST IN MUSIC …SO PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING.U WANT VOICE OF INDIA.NOT VOICE OF PUBLIC…PLZ CERTAIN THINGS PUBLIC CANT DECIDE.THANKS-DM

    injustice to ismeet by abhijeet he was extremely harsh and rude with a sweet and innocent voice.ismeet should quit such a show where his own mentors are against him for reasons best known to them only.

    Hi,

    I am disappointed at the way this programme is going. If people of India remember, VOI started with a slogan “Sur se samjhota nahin”.. Can’t find that slogan anymore. of course, that slogan makes no sense now because -

    1. Abhilasha can forget songs on stage any number of times but still find place in final 4.

    2. Panel of judges can pass personal remarks, try to influence the public with their undeserving comments ( especially to Abhilasha)

    3. Panel can use their veto power and bring back their favourite contesent

    4. Call celebreties who knows nothing about music (they are there just to add glamour) to give their comments

    5. Gajendra Singh openly admitting that giving the judgement in the hands of the public was his worst decision !!!!!!

    6. Panel of judges telling their favourite contestants to ignore the public voting (whenever it has gone against them). Abhijeet has time and again told the contestants to care a damn for public voting because public does not know whom to select.

    my humble question to the organisers is -

    if you feel public opionion is wrong, why continue even now ??

    my humble request to public is

    why are you still wasting money and sending SMS msgs when such harsh remarks are made against your opinion??

    STOP VOTING ! THIS PROGRAMME IS JUST A DRAMA ! WINNER IS ALREADY SELECTED ( THE UNDESERVING ABHILASHA)… MAY BE HER FAMILY HAS FINANCED TO ORGANISE THIS EVENT TO SHAPE HER FUTURE THROUGH THIS GIMMICK
