i just want to ask shreya and kunal that if u really want to eliminate prakiti, then what the hell u all gave sarvotham and brought her upto this place. 2 of u r very racial, how can u support openly being judges. kunal dont think u r too good singer, the voice quality of urs only deserves madhyam.u all dont have any right to make prakiti cry. she is our idol. pls be like judges. learn something from sa re ga ma pa.
kunal u r there only because of ur cousin sanjay leela bansali, and shreya ur there, because of ur favourite A.R rehman sir. but pls mind ur words before u talk.just be practical. Pls dont keep public vote from next time. u 2 have played a big game.its very racial….
I agree and fully support to ‘’Avinas’’ comment. It is too much for all and it would be grateful if it was considered b4 comment in the future b-coz no one praise and reword to such a that kinf of notorious person.
There is really no use in critiquing the judges– after all, they are going to be there until the end of the season. After this season, you all will not have to worry about their flaws. They, too, are human and have their mistakes and hypocrisies.
I am very dissappointed by the way you make use of the liberty that is given to post comments by using such disgusting language. An earnest request, please refrain from using such obscene and swear words, especially when referring to their names. Please, it shows how shallow one’s thoughts and upbringing is. Our culture doesn’t promote pathetic and cheap comments, but more so shows how rich our culture is. Ms. Shreya is a woman, and should be respected no matter what..she hasn’t directly harmed anyone, me or you, so why the anger? Grow up and don’t show everyone how cheap you are. Be civilized, and don’t act like a caveman..”Sohail Khan”.
DEAR $SHASHI,THE WEBMASTER, CHOTTE USTTAD WE ARE WARNING YOU IF YOU DON’T STOP SENDING THE TROJAN ;WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOUR SERVER CRASH !!!THIS IS NOT FAIR THAT YOU DO THIS NUISANCE TO PEOPLE .
Song choices are so horrible. At this stage of the competition, why not choose songs that will be challenging, melodious, crowd-pulling and pleasant to listen to at the same time? They haven’t even had a proper classical round yet (I don’t count the kisna special episode as a classical round). However, Anwesha and Aishwarya were both very good with their renditions(but who chooses their songs?). I loved Anwesha’s ‘kanta laga’, in particular, her voice projection was brilliant.
But poor Prakriti, I felt so sorry for her today. the judges were making it so obvious that they want her out of the competition next. I agree that she is not quite up to the par of A+A, but the judges could have made their views known without publically demoralising and humiliating the poor girl.
Overall, I have to say I much preferred last week’s episode to this week. They better come with a more suitable theme, with better song choices next week. It is crucial, that the contestants get to sing songs which will show off their range and calibre.
i wish judges marks be secret and comments be without names be read at the end >it should flash on the plasma screen.
public voting should be eliminated; only they may give their favorites to give them support.
no Human being is eactly ,the same>NOT EVEN MONO ZYGOTIC TWIN> THAT COMES OUT OF ONE OVUM AND 2 SPERMATOZOA(IDENTITICAL TWIN) :THEN HOW A JUDGE WILL GIVE HIS OR HER DECISION?? :THE BOTTOM LINE IS WE HAVE TO ACCEPT THE VERDICT.
it’s a very difficult job: to differentiate aiswyaria and anwesha> i cannot decide because they are both highly talented. prakriti ,a very honest and decent girl(she herself admitted once) but her musical talent is NOT equal to either anwesha or aiswyaria >this is the truth.people should never bring nepali ,Gujrati or bengali to judge a talent >Talent has no name or creed or color.
That’s why i said before:This awward should honor both the talents as shared awward.Both these kids are my favorites.Gift is God’s gift and i cannot dishonor HIM.
Thank you
this kind of comment is totally unislamic!
“agar aapney itney behsurat comment kar sekhey to aaapki koi islami salamat nehi hain.yeah, aap kavi nah karo”
AALAH HAFIZ
Mr Biswas, NOw you don`t even talk about CHILD ABUSE! Ha! Ha! When your favorite Anwesha was given an advice from Pritam YOU started SINGING about CHILD ABUSE! Could you not SEE OR HEAR what happened in this show! Mr Protector! What was done there WAS CHILD ABUSE! It was very evident that these was DONE only to protect our dear Anwesha. the Judges want her to reach the TOP TWO as she is surely deserving! But that does not give them a RIGHT to abuse a child PUBLICLY! Still Pritam gave her ATI UTTAM! Public Humiliation was from Shreya and Kunal and that was surely DISGUSTING.
I REALLY WONDER WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR DEAR MR PROTECTOR!
Excellent comment….. These judges has forgot their limit and has forgotton how sounds their voice while singing in the live show….. In fact kunla even doesn’t deserve madyam………..
my dear s a,
whole process of publicly humilating child is absolutely wrong!! :i have written over and over again about this.many just gang up against me > i never support the whole system.please see my previous postings. Prakriti is no different from other children.
please see my prevoius postings in previous episodes>i have written focefully against the process of elimination and grading that never hurts a child. every child is special.prakriti is honest and so much loving ,she is a gem..i couldn’t say one single thing against her. she herself once declared “i don’t deserve #1 in public voting” …for which she got public ovation.
i never support any child abuse in any form .i told my office secretary to write to all news channel and Mr.gaj ji about the way we feel.i am truly saying what we did from our office last week ,we collected signatures on line printed them and faxed them to india ,including Minstry of child welfare.there was an incident in delhi,CNNIBN i saw a 10yr old child was burnt alive because he protested for his bicycle damaged by a car.The wedding procession caught him and burnt him alive. do i need to say a word for this? it’s just TOTALLY UNCIVILIZED!! GROSS AND MORONIC SOCIETY!
I think no body has any right to do such comments ofcourse favorisum is exist but before commenting you should keep yourself on that position.the judges and public both are wrong what public is doing alos favourism and racism on VOI ishmeet not atall elijible for final winner but due to community and racsm he got more votes despite judges donot like him verry much so same case with Prakriti it does not natter whether judges like her or not votes will come so reall racist is public not judge.in VOI Tsohi/Harshit/Abhas/Priyani should be the top ISHMEET NOT AT ALL.so it better not to comment and just keep watching.
WE CAN’T BE SILENT SPECTATORS>WE NEED TO COMMENT AND GIVE OUR FEELINGS.EVERYBODY HAS A RIGHT TO COMMENT AND THAT IS DEMOCRACY AND FREE THINKING SOCIETY!
pl see march 14th episode : vyom was eliminated> Prakriti was saying”let Vyom should be in 3rd position” but vyom said” prakriti should be in 3rd position” prakriti softly admonished him”shut up’ >.. this to say how much the kids are attached to each other as friends and have feelings for each other.
I know this public humiliation in front of thousands of concert fans must be really crushing. I am so proud of you for keeping a smile even with so much pain.
Tinka tinka was awesome. Too bad no one wanted to nurture your talent. Rather negative comments to make you feel like not even staying any bit longer.
Take care. Don’t let this reality TV show ruin your personality and your life.
Top 2 – Anwesha & Prakirti
OR
Ashwariya & Prakriti
Lets see what happens.Star TV & Judges are collecting their money.Shreya & Kunal have criticized Pratkriti (12 year old kid) so many times. Don’t know what they think of themselves.
THEY ARE FLOWERS > EXTREMELY SOFT & DELICATE!!
PROCESS OF elimination, reprimanding and grading them can be done professionally: without hurting these children.
Praise: publicly to acknowledge it and let others be inspired. NEVER pit a child against his /her peer group >THIS IS NOT A COCK FIGHT. THIS IS A HUMAN CHILD .THIS IS NOT A MONKEY BUSINESS >EVERY CHILD HAS A SPECIAL QUALITY >>SEE TARE JAMIN PAR>> PARENTS NEED TO LISTEN >> PUBLIC MUST STOP THEIR MONKEY BUSINESS AND EDUCATE THEMSELVES.
Reprimand/criticize: privately
Call the child close to you>ask him/her why >listen to his/her reason >see IF the reason is correct or but never in front of peers or not even parents. The child must feel that reprimand as your caring because he/she respects and trust you. NEVER HUMILATE A CHILD >THIS WILL BE A PERMANENT SCAR ON HIS/HER MIND.>this will strip off the self-esteem .self–esteem is a part of self identity. It will permanently paralyze the perception of the child about his or her own ability.
Prepare the child first> tell him/her softly in private not in front of peer group. Never in front of public>>do not bring shame on a child. Tell honestly how he or she can improve.
muje ye chotte ustad herne se pahile yee tino judges ko barema patta nahi taa, pritam ,shreya or kunal .so i dont think they are reputted singer, yisiliye inaka commet ka kohi mahine nahi raktha hee. yisiliye aap sab soj samaj kar vote kariye. yeee judges ke batome math paro yar. yinko sangit ke bareme kuj bi patha nahi ye yaro,
From japan
IT’S LACK OF PUBLIC AWARENESS THAT’S WHY PUBLIC IS NEVER THINKS IT’S A CHILD ABUSE!
A CHILD 10YRS OLD WAS BURNT ALIVE IN DELHI BECAUSE HE PROTESTED FOR HIS BICYCLE BEING DAMAGED BY A CAR OF A WEDDING PARTY> THEY BURNT HIM ALIVE***WWW.CNNIBN.COM.
SAVAGE INDIANS!!NO BODY IN THE WEDDING PARTY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS WRONG!!!IN DELHI >NOT IN VILLAGE OF BIHAR!!!
BARBARIC BUSTARDS!
TIME IS RUNNING OUT ,ALL ADMIRERS OF ANWESHA AISHWARYA AND PRAKRITI JUST LOG ON TO INDYA .COM AND CAST AS MANY VOTES AS YOU WISH ,TO SEE YOUR FAVOURITE IN FINAL.
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO SAVE YOUR FAVOURITE AS ALL THE THREE CONTESTANTS HAVE NOW ALMOST EQUAL CHANCE TO ENTER THE FINAL AS PER THE TRENDS.
11 HOURS TO GO BEFORE THE DEADLINE ENDS.
MANY VIEWERS HAVE GIVEN VENT TO THEIR FEELINGS ABOUT KUNAL GANJAWALA AND HIS SINGING CAPABILITIES.THE JUDGE KUNAL’S COMMENTS OVER PRAKRITI’S PERFORMANCE HAS ANGERED MANY VIEWERS AND I ALSO FEEL THAT PRAKRITI’S PERFORMANCE IN FIRST ROUND WAS EXCEPTIONAL AND CERTAINLY BETTER THAN ANWESHA’S PERFORMANCE.
KUNAL IS AN ESTABLISHED SINGER IN BOLLYWOOD . HIS VOICE SUITS PARTICULAR GENRE OF SONGS. NO SINGER COULD HAVE SUNG “BHEEGE HONTH TERE—”AS SENSUOUSLY AS KUNAL AND THAT SONG FETCHED HIM MANY AWARDS.
KUNAL AS WELL AS SHREYA WERE UNDER TREMENDOUS PRESSURE TO AWARD HIGHEST GRADES TO AISHWARYA AND ANWESHA AND THE LOWEST TO PRAKRITI TO SAVE THE FIRST TWO FROM POSSIBLE ELIMINATION AS PRAKRITI IS CONSISTENTLY GETTING MASSIVE SUPPORT FROM HER ADMIRERS WHO ARE PREPARED TO GO TO ANY EXTENT AND TO SEE HER IN FINAL. THERE IS EVERY POSSIBILITY THAT ANWESHA COULD BE ELIMINATED IF HER SUPPORTERS JUST CONTINUE TO LEND HER VERBAL PASSIVE SUPPORT INSTEAD OF ACTIVE SUPPORT THROUGH VOTES
I don’t blame judges but the Director of the show for putting up such a humiliating script to judges to rate prakriti performance. Why are u unable to understand that it is CHOTTE USTAD, all about childerns..u hav to care about their feelings, what ever u did to that poor girl prakriti in this episode is a stupid act…there could have been alot better ways to signal audience about your/judge’s choice of Top 2…but u can actually drag that poor child to such an extent is unbelievable and highly un-ethical….think about that and think of smthing intelligent to cover this in next episode..
I ON BEHALF OF ENTIRE INDIAN CUMMUNITY APPEAL TO worldpress.org/ sashi of star tv TO DELETE IMMEDIATELY THE FIRST COMMENT APPEARING HEREINABVE POSTED BY A PERVERT AS IT HAS DEEPLY AFFECTED THE SENSIBILITIES OF THE ENTIRE CIVILIZED SOCIETY. SUCH PERVERTS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PERMITTED TO POST OBSCENE AND HIGHLY VULGAR COMMENTS ON THIS SITE .THIS IS WORSE THAN A CYBER-CRIME . THE ORGANISERS OF THIS SITE WILL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR CAUSING MENTAL ANGUISH TO MILLIONS OF VIEWERS.
PLEAS TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES.
THANKS FOR REMOVING THE OBNOXIOUS AND HIGHLY OFFENSIVE COMMENT OF A PERVERT ON THIS BLOG .
YOU ARE REQUESTED TO MAINTAIN THIS WONDERFUL SITE FREE FROM OBSCENITY AND VULGARITY.
THE THREE JUDGES PREETAM SHREYA AND KUNAL WERE COMPELLED TO DOWNGRADE PRAKRITI AND DELIBERATELY UPGRADE TRAINED PERFORMERS ANWESHA AND AISHWARYA TO SAVE THEM FROM ELIMINATION AS PRAKRITI IS BACKED BY HER SUPPORTERS UP TO THE HILT AND THEY WANT TO ENSURE THAT SHE FIGURES IN FINAL TOP TWO PERFORMERS.
THE JUDGES WERE HOWEVER EXPECTED TO PASS THEIR COMMENTS MORE DIPLOMATICALLY RATHER THAN OPENLY AND UNNECESSARILY CRITICISING YOUNG PRAKRITI IN PUBLIC AND IN FRONT OF MILLIONS OF VIEWERS WHO WERE WATCHING THIS TELECAST.THIS ATTITUDE OF JUDGES IS HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE PARTICULARLY WHEN PRAKRITI PERFORMED COMPETENTLY IN THIS EPISODE AND CAME VERY CLOSE TO OTHER PERFORMERS.
DRAKBISWAS IS RIGHT THAT THE RATING/MARKING BY JUDGES COULD HAVE BEEN CONVEYED INDIRECTLY OR WITHOUT ANY COMMENTS..
ANOTHER OBSCENE COMMENT BY ANOTHER PERVERT “RATAN’POSTED ABOVE . PEOPLE LIKE RATAN ARE DIRTYING THIS SITE WHICH HAS ABSOLUTELY NO PLACE FOR SUCH PERVERTS . PLEASE DELETE THIS OFFENSIVE COMMENT AS WELL.THE DIRTY MINDS WILL EXPRESS ONLY THEIR DIRTY THOUGHTS.MUSIC IS LATIN AND GREEK FOR THEM AS THEY HAVE ONLY ONE THING IN THEIR MIND.KICK THEM OUT BEFORE THIS SITE IS CONVERTED INTO A OBSCENE adda.
wordpress.org will please scrutinise the comment of pervert’ratan” and delete the same forthwith as this is agaist the spirit and purpose of this blog.this is NOT A SEX SITE.
In my opinion the performances of the three singers on saturday should have been awarded marks as under:
First round:
1.Anwesha—-50/100
2.Prakriti—65/100
3.Aishwarya–85/100
Second round:
1.Anwesha—-95/100 -almost better than the original
2.Prakriti—55/100–JUDGES COMMENTS HAD ADVERSE EFFECT
3.Aishwarya–70/100
Young Abhaas came to the rescue of Prakriti and appealed to her supporters for votes in sincere manner.
ALL BLOGGERS ARE REQUESTED TO MAINTAIN DECORUM AND DIGNITY WHILE POSTING THEIR COMMENTS TO THIS SITE . BY ATTACKING KUNAL AND SHREYA THEY ARE ONLY SPOILING CHANCES OF PRAKRITI. MANY WELL- WISHERS OF PRAKRITI MIGHT NOT VOTE FOR HER IF THE SUPPORTERS BEHAVE LIKE BULLIES.
hay bhaivivek i am nepali i am proud of my music and my people
r u proud of ur people(three judges) after hearing there comments
so poor indians
narrow minded indians
THE ONLY WAY TO EVALUATE THE REAL STRENTH AND TALENT OF THE REMAINING THREE ASPIRANTS OF CHHOTE USTAD CROWN WILL BE TO GIVE THEM ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SONGS TO SING. LET THE SAME SONG BE SUNG BY ALL THE THREE TALENTED YOUNG MAIDENS. THE ENTIRE WORLD WILL JUDGE THEIR TALENT AND ONCE FOR ALL THE CONTROVERSY-” TU BANGALI- MAIN NEPALI -TU GUJARATI” WILL COME TO AN END.
1.RASIK BALMA–FILM:CHORI CHORI
2.AAP KI NAZRON NE SAMJA PYAR KE KAABIL MUJE:FILM-ANPAD
3.WADA RAHA PYAR SE PYAR KA–FILM:KHAKEE
4.AJAHOON NA AAHE BALMA SAAWAN–FILM:SAANJ AUR SAVERA. THIS CAN BE SUNG AS DUET WITH ABHAAS.
5.CHHOD DE SARI DUNIYA KISI KE LIYE–FILM:SARASWATICHANDRA
First of All, Salute to Pritamda. He is a real Judge who is judging on nothing else but performence. He never did injustice to anyone on basis of from where that child belong.
For other 2 judges, just to make sure that Anwesha goes to finals, our little Prakriti is made scape goat. (Prakriti ko halaal kiya hai ye racial Shrya aur Kunaal ne)
Let us see how these 2 Judges’ played their cards.
First AISHWARYA. She gets good voting from people from the very begining & most guests coming to the show praises her singing including Pritamda, it was not possible for these 2 judges to offer “madhyam” to Aishwarya & so, it was not possible for them to kick her out.
PRAKRITI received not only Gorkha votes but also votes from all over the far eastern world so much that for 3 times she got maximum number of votes. She also consistantly received ‘Atiuttam’ from all the judges.
ANWESHA though supported by judges with ‘Sarvottam’ (even if she is besoora in Mere Dholana & many others) gets very low public voting throughout the show and was in scaryland for 3 times.
So, even if Prakriti receives Atiuttam from all the judges, she would beat Anwesha in total ranking.
Shreya & Kunaal wanted Anwesha in to finals any how and Pritamda would not agree with them to give biased judgement, so these corrupt minds gave Prakriti very low marks “Madhyam”.
Under such conditions, Prakriti will need to get over 70% of total votes to reach Finals with such low marks from judges.
I call all Gorkhas and all other lovers of Prakriti to vote her like anything and bring her to finals and thereby slap these 2 rascals. C’mon, we still have some hours to vote. Like Aishwarya’s father said in one of the show, our daughter does not need ‘Dayaa’ from these 2 judges.
Ye ‘DAYAA’ aap Anwesha ke liye hi rakhiye. Hum Gorkha log desh ka khayaal karte hai aur karte rahenge. Shrya aur Kunaal, aap ne kitne bhi paise kamaa liye honge magar aap aur Anwesha jaise gareeb humne aaj tak nahin dekhe. Magar ek baat hai. GORKHA ANWESHA KO VOTE NAHIN KARENGE. Even if Anwesha reaches finals, she would be standing there in a place given to her in ‘Bhikh’ by the 2 special judges by snatching that place from PRAKRITI.
By the way, when Anwesha got one tear on Pritamda’s fatherly advise, one super Bengoli ‘Biswas’ wrote in this forum about child abuse and humiliation etc. So what does he have to say now? Prakriti is not child? All Non-Bengolis are not human? Saale Haraami Biswas!You racial creep!
In my opinion the performances of the three singers on saturday should have been awarded marks as under:
First round:
1.Anwesha—-80/100
2.Prakriti—75/100
3.Aishwarya–55/100
Prakriti was really good in her first performance better then Ash
Second round:
1.Anwesha—-95/100 -almost better than the original
2.Prakriti—55/100(Effect of Judges comments)
3.Aishwarya–70/100
My opinion Ash was not up to the mark it is quite obvious by the the judges comments and Abhas asking her to close eyes and think she is performig in finale,Adesh asking and go in public and sing(if they would have asked Prakriti or Anevesha the result would be the same which they dint do that intentionally)common give us a break people are not blind it clearly shows that they want Ash to win the scape goats are Prakriti and Anevesha
@ DEVKISHIN I think u need to listen the song carefully before giving comments(Anvesha was not good in her first song,did u c Ash had a problem with her breath common sir please give me a break….)
whenever you click the links it’s going on the server to play the video,TROJAN CAME AND WINDOWS LIVE ONE CARE DETECTED. we did wathched 3 times each link and all the videos,24 TROJANS WERE DETECTED. THIS WAS DETECTED IN OUR COMPUTER IN TEXAS,HOME COMPUTER ,OFFICE server AND ALSO 2 LOCATIONS IN CALIFORNIA. we watch these shows online with family and friends and office staff. we do appreciate that you upload these videos for online entertainment but we couldn’t understand where these Trojans were coming from ,then Ip address suggest these were coming from indian server.
stop your nonsense :read what i posted before you open your big mouth and dirty racial language.read above in my posting !
i am not racial. Go up and read and you should APOLOGIZE IF YOU are civilized enough!
Vaise jeetna deserve to Aishwarya karti hai, par jeetegi Anvesha.
The judges are a little too biased towards Anvesha.
My humble appeal to all the esteemed bloggers here is to stop voting in this contest as judges will decide the whole thing and there is no use for audience to waste their money on sms.
So please stop voting. Kyon ki hona to wahi hai jo judges chahte hain.
PRASANTA SHERPA :CAN YOU READ? GO UP AND READ IN THE BEGINING WHAT I WROTE THEN MAKE YOUR FILTHY COMMENT >THIS PLACE IS FOR CIVILIZED INDIANS NOT FOR ANY HOOLIGAN.
AS YOU SEE HERE THOSE WHO CALIM TO BE NEPALI WHAT KIND OF LANGUAGE THEY ARE USING.
I WILL REQUEST THE SITE ADMINISTRATOR TO GET THEIR IP ADDRESS AND BAR THEM COMPLETLY.THESE ARE UNEDUCATED HOOLIGANS THOSE WHO HAVE NO NETIQUETTE AND CIVIL MANNERS.
Today if Prakri Giri is one of the top contenders of Chhote Ustad Title it is entirely on the basis of her own talent.She was selected from thousands of aspirants by Chhote Ustad team due to her performance in preliminaries.All supporters of Prakriti should be grateful to STAR VOICE OF INDIA ,DIRECTOR GAJENDRA SINGH AND THE THREE JUDGES(who could have easily eliminated her in earlier rounds)who have provided her this platform to showcase her talent. Today she is almost at the threshold of successful career in playback singing.This show is not yet over .Pakriti has equal chance to perform in GRAND FINALE in mumbai on April the 5th.
For the GOD’s sake DONOT spoil her chances at this crucial juncture by antagonising the viewers/music lovers who like Pakriti and are going to vote for her.
i agree with you. moreover, in the episode when sonia was eliminated, they were saying do not do this, this effects the child. they are now openly criticizing prakriti. this is so unfair.she is really sweet and i love her voice. frankly i did not like when kunal sang mukesh ji’s song in a previous episode. prakriti sang it really well. adesh was really happy with her singing. i do not understant why they show so much favoritism!
AISHWARYA WILL WIN THIS CONTEST
prakrit given harsh comments is part of plan
gajji wants ash to win who is here only because of corruption and has NO public support
Judges and gajji, if you want ash to win, what is the purpose of show
anvesha n prakrit vcould have been in final 2. prakrit better then aishwarya
prashant sherpa
you do not pretend to be prakti supporter
you for ash
we see every time anvesha and p[rakrit good friends
aishwarya is the one who is here on ‘daya’ and ‘bheekh’
hey all
vote for prakrit and anvesha. we want them in final 2.
judges give high ranking to that besuri ash every time. we are not fools.all darjeeling want prakrti and anvesha in final 2
kick aishwarya judges’ favourite out-no sur, no taal,only dupe got her tillhere
Judges are too much racial for prakriti giri. She is here because people of India have supported her. She is the best and should be chhote ustaad. So called judges KUNAL , SHREYA are not able to be seated in their chair. They even don’t know the way to give comments.
Prakriti could win and anvesha to be second. but not that aishwarya. she is not getting even 1 vote noone praises her in forums so where votes from?gajendra ji of course
I have been reading the above comments and I feel proud today that those who are from Indian origin they did expressed their views here without using any foul languages and this is our culture on the other hand people those who are non Indian I feel shame to read their comments it show their culture. India is progressing and few neighbouring country cannot digest this fact.
Let us not use any foul language its not in our Indian culture. And I warn other non Indians …what are you doing here in our blog? Go get a life ?
Himmat hain to apni country mein yesa show kar ke dikhao. Fir dusro pe ungli uthana.
Please excuse me rest of the Indians, I must have to protest. I am an Indian and will not tolerate all these.
-
Prakirti won ? Are you sure Prakriti Giri won the ‘Chote Ustaad’-2008 ? yeah we known she will be next ‘Chote Ustaad’-2008. Congratulation Prakriti ….!!!
I would love to see anvesha in final 2, but I hated the judges’ behaviour yesterday. it was a clear indication that they are under gajji. aishwarya–where does she get so many votes from? gujarat has neevr been fanatic with votes. I think the show is manipualted to make aishwarya win
However a sweet, innocent 12 yr old Prakriti giri is made to suffer because of this? So unfair. she is just a little girl,kunal and shreya. Pritam was right. she deserved ‘attiuttam’ not ‘uttam/madhyam’. She has a good voice quality and a sweet, silky texture. A little training and you will rock prakriti giri!! And poor little girl was in tears throughout. part of top 3 and such behavious towards her? If she is getting votes, its not her fault. the little prakriti is honest, endearing, a good friend to all the contestants. She does not deserve this, not even if it means anshu has to be eliminated.
ia ma supporter of anvesha’s singing 100% she is the best. but eevn for her sake i will not pardon the judges for such behaviour. Why did ash get sartaj? she was below average with the first song, good in the second no doubt.
I am sad the show’s standards have fallen.
=====================================
Prakirti won ? Are you sure Prakriti Giri won the ‘Chote Ustaad’-2008 ? yeah we known she will be next ‘Chote Ustaad’-2008. Congratulation Prakriti ….!!!
With repect I would also like to mention that I was ther in the blog during sa re ga ma pa where Amanat Raja ,Mussarat, Mauli, Aneek participated .
The people from Pakistan they also posted their views in favour of Mussarat , Amanat, Junaid but I must say they were one of the cultured people they never used any type of foul language. I really appreciate this.
NEPALI :JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH . YOU DON’T TALK HERE LIKE A STREET HOOLIGAN .DON’T MAKE PERSONAL ATTACK .PEOPLE MUST EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS BUT RESPECT OTHERS.MR.DEVKISHINJI IS A RESPECTED MAN AND HE KNOWS MORE MUSIC THAN ANY BODY IN THIS WHOLE FORUM FROM THE START.HE IS A SENIOR TO YOU AS A LITTLE STREET ARCHIN .SO BEHAVE AND BE QUITE.MAKE NO NUISANCE.
One thing every one missed is the designer’s costume which Prakriti put on in Saturday”s episode.She looked fantastic in that dress. I have yet to come across a better designed and more exquisitely stiched outfit for a 12 year old . That outfit was probably the best ever worn by a contestant in GAJENDRA SINGH’S REALITY SHOW. ALL DRESS DESIGNERS MUST HAVE LOOKED AT YOUR DRESS AND YOUR COMPLETE PERSONALITY IN DISBELIEF .
PRAKRITI YOU AGAIN PROVED YOURSELF THAT YOU BELONG TO A VERY CULTURED FAMILY WHICH HAS INCULCATED IN YOU VERY HIGH MORALS AND RARE VALUES WHEN YOU REMARKED THAT VYOM SHOULD STAY PUT AND YOU SHOULD LEAVE THE SHOW.YOUR THIS ATTITUDE WILL TAKE YOU VERY FAR IN LIFE AND I PERSONALLY WILL NOT BE SURPRISED IF YOU ARE CROWNED CHHOTE USTAD AS ALMOST ALL HAVE PLAYED WITH YOUR EMOTIONS BUT THE SUPREME BEING HAS HIS OWN WAY OF REWARDING ANGELS.GOD BLESS YOU.
Earlier the VOI judges made Ishmeet cry, he had to face non-stop racism for last 4 months of the show. He won by his good luck.
Now Prakriti is being subjected to racism.
Kya hoga hamare secular desh ka.
Ishmeet’s pathetic treatment has set the tone for racism in Indian reality shows. Had it been stopped then the trend would hv finished. Prakriti is second victim of racism. Now more contestants will hv to face racism in future if all this non-sense is not stopped by Gajendra Singh.
DEVKISHINJI,
i have few suggestions:
1.public voting should be eliminated completely.Public can express their favorites that’s all.
2.no public display of elimination: elimantion result will be announced on the electronic score board.the scoring from the judges will be displayed but not the names.
3. a committee of professional Music body :who will have 50% power of their voting,vetoing and elimination.
4.The score Board will be final place where most important displays will be declared and the comments for each contestant rather than direct from the judges mouth.
5.Board of directors will also decide the Music from the same genre to judge each candidate>eg. classical,Bhajans,Ghazal ,folks ,remix,etc in each category.
these will eliminate the emotional hullabaloo of the public and regionalism.i still don’t understand ,an intelligent person like Gaj ji cannot implement these simple measures.
Thanks
Judges have a JOB to do . Their job is to see that the deserving candidate wins. And Anwesha and aishwarya are definitely the deserving ones.
Prakriti is sweet but definetely does not deserve to be in top three. Nepalese people are voting for Prakriti only because she is a nepali and that’s PURE RACISM.
When judges don’t have power then undeserving candidates like Prashant Tamang and Ishmeet win purely because of regionalism and thats UNFAIR. I believe prakriti wouldn’t have been in top 3 if she was not a nepali.She is a good singer but needs a lot of training.I felt bad for her when she cried but judges job is to tell the TRUTH and GUIDE the audiences to vote for the deserving contestant.
ITS TRUE THAT JUDGES HAVE THEIR FAVORITES BUT THE FAVORITISM IS TOWARDS THE DESERVING CANDIDATES AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH REGIONALISM OR RACISM.The idea is to select the best singer , doesn’t matter where they are from what religion, cast or race they belong to. I think the judges are just doing their job.
Innocent Ishmeet cried in the face of racist slurs by Abhijeet & Co. No body took notice of his tears. Prakriti is lucky that atleast people have noticed her pain.
Prakriti has been targetted mainly for her singing, but Ishmeet was targetted on communal grounds.Remember Abhijeet’s famous words “Kaho apne bhaiyon se SMS bhejna band karren” Or Lalit’s famous words ” Isko to anap-shanap vote mil rahe hain”
Abhijeet went to the extent of saying”tum to top 10 mein aane ke layak bhi nahin the”
So Ishmeet had to go through all this humiliation.
Prakriti is lucky that atleast she has been subjected to less humilation compared to Ishmeet.
Now if Bengalis r voting for Anvesha & Anamika thats not racism. In this way every Indian is a racist.
Only Bengalis hv right to win reality shows, a person from Punjab has no right to win.
In LiL champs too Rohanpreet was unfairly defeated. He was the clear winner. But anamika was declared the winner at the last moment just to appease the bengali community. Aneek, Anamika, Sanchita all bongs r winning the saregama shows. Why?
Interestingly in our Business, 12 Nepalies work here along with other nationalities in USA.they seem to be very good workers and very dutiful.
why you people are so rude here?
My respected Teacher>Dr.Mani chetri, an world renown physician ,prof.and head of the dept.MEDICINE of calcutta university.He was also a recipient of padma Bhusan, physcian to president of India,physcian to king of Nepal, pysician to uk Royal family and an examiner for MRCP ,london.There are great legacy that you can be proud of India,so why are you people becoming so petty here!
I could never think sir, Dr.Chetri as a Nepali. He was our sir.if Indian were that racial DR.Bidhan chandra Roy could never appoint him as Head of the dept.Medicine in calcutta university.It was his talent that deserved that HONOR. DON’T MAKE ANY MORE SILLY ARGUMENTS NOW>ENOUGH IS ENOUGH .

WE all know you’re CRAZY about ISHMEET! No point saying anything about that.But if you think Rohanpreet deserved to win SAREGAMAPA then you must be crazier than I thought. Aneek and Sanchita definitely deserved to win in my opinion. Anamika on the other hand is an OK singer who won because she had no competion in top 3. All the good singers in SAREGAMAPA were eliminated beforehand by PUBLIC VOTING because judges UNLIKE VOI had no power.
Devkishin..sorry for that…that comment has been deleted..can’t help those mentally sick people..Hope everyone wont take this programme personally…its just entertainment …
i agree 200% but i think ,what i said before they need to change the system:
i have few suggestions:
1.public voting should be eliminated completely.Public can express their favorites that’s all.
2.no public display of elimination: elimantion result will be announced on the electronic score board.the scoring from the judges will be displayed but not the names.
3. a committee of professional Music body :who will have 50% power of their voting,vetoing and elimination.
4.The score Board will be final place where most important displays will be declared and the comments for each contestant rather than direct from the judges’ mouth.
5.Board of directors will also decide the Music from the same genre to judge each candidate>eg. classical,Bhajans,Ghazal ,folks ,remix,etc in each category.
these will eliminate the emotional hullabaloo of the public and regionalism.i still don’t understand ,an intelligent person like Gaj ji cannot implement these simple measures.
Thanks
Jatin and Ronnie
you guyz are missing the point. it is not about bengali, punjabi, north-east. None of these 3 communities should complain!! all 3 had winners last yr in ANEEK, ISHMEET and PRASHANT respectively. That is because in the first case ANEEK was deserving enough but PRASHNAT and ISHMEET were the weakest conytestants among top 12 in VOI, indian idol3. Still they won beacuse their communites supproted them? isn’t that so?
I felt in VOI ABHAS JOSHI should have won and in indian idol 3 DEEPALI KISHORE. but unforuntaley or fortunately M.p ke people and biharis did not vote enough. Unlike punjabis and north-east.
SO DESERVING MUST WIN, IRRESPECTIVE OF REGION. that is what music show shopuld be aboput. leave aside personal prejudices and vote for deserving one ONLY.
Talking about sregama little champs, the deserving winner was a girl from Tripura called SMITA NANDI or ROHIT. they were both good, but got eliminated due to bad voting by public.
ANAMIKA was best among top 3, and rohanpreet was also good. Either of them winning is not a loss. so stop this bengali vs. punjabi nonsense.if tanmay won, it would have been a loss.
As for this particular chote ustad, below all the gimmiks and cheap publicity only one contestant desrves to win– anvesha. If only people would look beyond their region and vote. another very good contestant SONIA was far better then aishwarya and prakrit, who are now in top 3. sonia and anvesha would have been perfect top 2 material. I Don’t know, i am not too impressed by this show not because of lack of talemt but lack of a clean and non-biased judgement.
Jatin,
First of all bengalis are apparently not voting for Anwesha because in spite of getting all sarwottams from the judges she had been in the scaryland a few times.You may like Ishmeet and Rohanpreet just because they are PUNJUBIS but I(being a Bengali)for one voted for Aamir and NOT Anamika in SAREGAMAPA and I’m not a muslim! The votes should be casted according to the contestant’s singing ability not for any other reason.
Anwesha and Aishwarya are both very well trained. Anwesha was ist runner up in ZEE Bangla SAREGAMAPA ( she came in second apparently because she sang too many claasical songs!). And AISH participated in last years SAREGAMAPA but had to withdraw because of health reasons. PEASE lets not vote for regionalism. LETS JUST VOTE FOR THE BEST SINGER. Thanks
DRAKBISWAS FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION:
THE DAY IS NOT FAR OFF WHEN VOTING BY PUBLIC WILL BE DONE AWAY WITH IN REALITY SHOWS AS TIME AND AGAIN THE REAL TALENT IS CRUSHED BY MONEY POWER.
GAJENDRA SINGH DID REALISE THE PITFALLS OF VOTING SYSTEM AND GAVE 50% POWER TO JUDGES WHO ARE TRYING THEIR BEST TO HONOUR THE REAL TALENT.HOWEVER CERTAIN ELEMENTS IN A COMMUNITY ARE BENT UPON NEGATING THIS WELCOME CHANGE AND ARE ROOTING FOR THEIR OWN PERSON TO WIN THE TITLE . I PERSONALLY HAVE VERY HIGH REGARD FOR ANGELIC PRAKRITI AND THE MANNER IN WHICH THE LITTLE PRAKRITI WAS REPEATEDLY HUMILIATED IN SATURDAY’S EPISODE BY KUNAL AND SHREYA WAS PATHETIC . SHE WAS SHEDDING TEARS CONTINUOUSLY.THEY COULD HAVE CONVEYED THEIR OPINION IN MORE DIGNIFIED MANNER .THIS SHOW IS TELECAST WORLDWIDE AND MILLIONS OF VIEWERS WATCHED THIS TORTURE OF A KID IN PUBLIC. I WAS WATCHING THIS EPISODE WITH MY FAMILY AND MY HEART WAS CRYING FOR THIS INNOCENT CHILD .HAVE SOME MERCY ON YOUNG CHILDREN GAJENDRA SINGH . YOU ARE DESTROYING THE SPIRIT OF A WELL-BEHAVED CULTURED YOUNG GIRL WHO IS SUFFERING DUE TO UNFAIR ACTS OF SOME INDIVIDUALS OF HER OWN COMMUNITY.THE VERY SUPPORTERS HAVE PROVED TO HER GREATEST ENEMIES.WHAT A PARADOX!
Public voting should be stopped totally. There should be couple of judges and the contestants in the show. They will crown so called ‘ustaad’ whoever they like or think he or she deserves. Anyway there are so many programs in which there is no public participation. Then none of the contestants will have to face humiliation like the prakriti had to today.
i have few suggestions:
1.public voting should be eliminated completely.Public can express their favorites that’s all.
2.no public display of elimination: elimantion result will be announced on the electronic score board.the scoring from the judges will be displayed but not the names.

Anwesha
Your ‘kaanta laga’ was mindblowing. Hopefully people from all over India will vote for you.We are dying to hear you sing in the GRAND FINALE.Choose songs carefully and sing from your heart. YOU ARE DEFINITELY THE BEST CONTESTANT in CHHOTE USTAAD.Best of luck!
Deji,I fully agree with you.

kunal and shreeya don’t have any right to humiliate parkriti publicly, after all she is just 12.Kunal can sing only one song that’s from murder. Did u guys ever realise that he has only one style. He knows nothing about classic music.He don’t deserve to be the judge.I personally gonna boycott listening his music, we public should punish him.
THIS IS FOR GAJ JI,DIRECTOR,VOI CHOOTE USTAAD.

Dr.Biswas,
I agree with you.Way back in the days when Gajendra Singh used to direct/produce SaReGaMa on Zee TV there was no public voting and Ustaad Zakir Hussain,Girija Devi and others were judging the shows. I don’t know what made Gajendra Singh go into this business of public voting. May be it is his lust to make more money.
The second point that I want to make is that they had classical, non classical, judges choice rounds in SaReGaMa.
I am really at a loss to explain why Gajendra Singh decided to do away with these.
Ref:Arindam:
In this days of elctronic media and web conferencing ,Mr.zakir Hussain CA,Norah jones shankar,CA to Pandit ajoy chakraborty ,calcutta and many talented people of the Music world could easily adorn the seat of judges from all different parts of the world for all genres, from folks to classical can do real justice to indian Music and bring to international levels.
financial flow can come from so many business corporates ads to channels show with english dubbing.
Earning money is an art, many talented people cannot have a living simple they don’t understand the secret otherwise it wouldn’t have taken 60yrs for India to make USA as Business partner,the richest country in the world,whereas chinese ,a communist country understood fast enough to leave india by far.still many indians have no idea how far behind china!!
Hi Jatin
I have the answer for you. Its simple! why Bengalis are winning because they are better in SUR and TAAL. Bina sikhe humlog contest ladne nahi aate.
Sari duniya janti hain sirf aap hi anajan ho! Really strange! GK enhance kijiye.
Everyone has the right to win be it Punjabi, or Nepali but you have to compete with the other contestents. Its not the question of “right” you have to be good in singing that is all.
I am a Bengali but I like Ashwariya and Anewesha, previously I supported Amanat and Aneek becuas e I fet they were better than others and in VOI I supported Abaash becuas ehe was better.
All I could gather from the comments that people from Punjab will only vote their ward even if they cannot sing and also all Nepalees will vote their ward even if they are not worth. But Bengalis are not like that. Had it been so Anwesha would have got the highest public votes. We understand music so our votes are not biased. Ashwariya is Gujarti and I am voting for her because I like her voice. I also voted for Anwesha when she sang “ami je tomar” , Mari himbro mein when Ilaji came, she was too good.
I feel sorry about Prakriti, she is very sweet the Judges should be polite with her. Please Judges do not be so harsh with her. That’s my feelings.
Mein ek Bengali hoke apni community ke bare mein bolna nahi chati thi. Ek baar Dr Bsiwas ko mein ne hi kahan tha ki aap Bengali ki bardai mat kijiye…lekin yeha Pe lagatar Bengalees pe attack hote hoye mein to nahi dekha shakti kiyoki hum log itne gire huye inshan nahi hain! Kisi ko to awaz uthani hi perdegi…Hume waar korege to double khaoge TUM!
Judges behaviour especially Kunal and Shreya was very disappointing towards prakruti. It was not easy for her to reach top 3. People who have judged her singing may include very senior professionals in music than Kunal and Shreya who are still upcoming singers who should not forget they have also been selected from a similar stage as prakruti. So I would suggest that they should not pass such comments that would effect her singing in future, as such comments would demoralise and their performance effected.
Judges have mistaken that the people may vote as per their comments. Hence it were sarcastic comments made to
prakruti so that she would not get any votes.
It is also clear that they want Anvesha on the top and no doubt they would do same to Aishwarya as they did to Prakruti in the final (in case they both are in in final)as her golden voice is a threat to the Female judge Shreya.
What are you talking about? Aishwarya is not a threat to Shreya but Anwesha is!That’s why she is being particularly critical to Anwesha and unbeliebably sweet to Aishwarya!Aishwarya’s voice has no resemblence to Shreya where as Anwesha sang ‘Mere Dholna ‘ and ‘Barso re megha megha’ even better than Shreya live!You bet Shreya has a competition in ANWESHA because she is an AWESOME singer.You coul’d tell she had an inferiority complex when Anwesha sang those songs better than her live!
now you see devji,when i wrote about child abuse ,there were so many people jumping on my throat > you see now they disappear .probably watching the show and changing their IDS; ONE WAS MR.SERIOUS AND THE OTHER WAS MR.PARVEEN .THESE ARE IGNORANT PEOPLE. I TRY TO AVOID TWO THINGS :MAD DOGS AND IGNORANT PEOPLE.
“First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.”
kunal and shreya u r very rude and u r being biased i m sure i knw u like anwesha n wont gv good comments to anybody else than anwesha so that public will b impressed but dont forget one thing u both public is not blind……..n u kunal only have a particular style to singe which u always show off the only one particular way to sing as u r sayin to prakirti so u r worst than her coz look at her age n urs……………biased judges preetam is good though
Bengali literature ,Gitanjali brought the first Nobel prize in literature and it was Bengali songs of Tagore again made 2 national anthems of two countries, India and bangaldesh>Bengali literature was accepted by first University of Berkely when Tagore Visited here in 1912.Bengali literature with galaxy of stars ,bankim,sarat,Nazrul and thousand others with Tagore remained the most strongest literature only compared to english and joined worlds’ literature (honored by UNESCO)>Bengali was rejected by India as media for learning or research<Hindi was chosen,the weakest media in ASIA. A man who doesn’t know anything about Bengali lang. becomes the proctor of VISWABHARATI. if ANWESHA LOSSES ,NO REGRET FOR ME because I knew the truth 40yrs ago.
We should have supported you that time. Soory for that, We bengalus are like that we never support another Bengali and that is why Anwesha is behind inspite of her good singing capabilities. But I would rate Ashwariya also equivalent to Anwesha. and somehow I feel that Shreya Ghosal is not supporting Anwesha even if she is singing better sometimes. If Ashawariya get appreciated when she is doing well , Anwesha should also get the same and so should Prakriti.
Someone above wrote that Sherya should not forget her sa re ga ma pa days…but let me tell those people that Sherya is not here today by public voting, at that time public voting was not there. The Judges selected her as the best. She truly deserve that.
In this episode the Judges were little harsh to Prakriti that is becuase mainly they want Ash and Anwesha to be in the top and I do not see anything wrong in that. Only they should comment a little softer way to Prakriti. She is very sweet little girl. Prakriti also herself understand that she is fit for 3rd position now.
Most of the previous talent show people have casted vote only based on region e.g Sandeep Acharya was the winner where as Karunya from Andhra Pardesh was actually deserving one. Debojit Saha was from Assam and he was the winner where as actually deserving candidate was Vineet from UP I think. Even Hemani Kapoor and Nihira Joshi were also in the derserving candidate’s list. But if you see today they are doing better in their actaul life. Another example is HemChandra from Andhra Pradesh today he is a upcoming singer in south Indian film industry.
So at this point it really does not matter who will win. Only the thing is we feel bad if we see a non deserving candidate is in the top.
I am supporting Ashwariya and Anwesha. My vote goes to Ashwariya as well as Anwesha , to me its very difficult to make a decision who is the best between Anw and Ash.
But I think Sherya is supporting Ash becuase Anwesha sounds like her so Anwesha could be a threat to Shreya. Ashwariya’s voice is entirly different.
I would have to agree that Shreya seems to be a little more critical towards Anwesha than she is to Aishwarya. You can see it on her face, everytime Anwesha performs, Shreya’s expression turns sour. I have noticed this lately, though she wasn’t always like that. Even when Aishwarya would be besura in some of her songs, in the early days, Shreya would smile and give her a pleasant look. I think she definately favours Aish to Anu just a little bit.
I also think all this hype around Aish is just so they can bring her up to Anu’s level, otherwise the final round would be very one-sided. However, I think as a singer, Anwesha is miles ahead of Aishwarya (though Aish is improving), but as a performer, Aishwarya is better. I prefer listening to songs than watching performances, so I would pick Anwesha as my chhote ustaad.
Hi Nepali,
Just the way you are proud of your music and and your people, everyone else will be proud of his / her home country…However, It is not right for you to make such generalizations for India as a country based on some talent show. Matter of the fact is, by making such comments about Indians you are degrading yourself. Just think over what I have said and you should realize your mistake!!!
sangeeta, though your name is sangeeta but you fail to understand the indian political sangeet. usually if you would have eaten a lot of fish while growing up,then CNS would have developed sharp. These dramas don’t puzzle me nor dazzle me. i have seen the world and i know india very well though i live far from india but there is nothing in indian game that i will be surprised. so please enjoy the Jivananda above if you know bengali and understand it.
thanks
The voice of Prakriti is unique and different and so she has a future in the music industry. But today she’s untrained and certainly not in the league of Aishwarya and Anwesha. So the third place is justified for her. I want to make some observations about Kunal and Shreya. It shocked and surprised me but on thinking over I felt
Whatever happens on the show is not spontaneous. It’s planned and meant to be that way. Every elimination is well known well in advance to all participants, judges, etc. everyone except the audience.
These comments I bet were given with the full knowledge and consent of Prakriti and her relatives. That’s why there was no reaction on the face of Prakriti’s relation. The close up shot of the tears on Prakriti’s face looked suspiciously like taken from an earlier episode.
Do you think these comments couldn’t have been edited out before showing to the country
Gajji is extremely clever. These comments were made just to have the effect they had, to get the Gurkhas so angry (notoriously well known for their clan feeling) so that they’ll spend their last rupee on SMS
But this time it’s mathematically impossible for Prakriti to get into the finals. Next episode there’ll be apologies from Kunal and Shreya, nice things said to Prakriti and gently she’ll be shown the way out of the contest
So, what about the abuse the judges had made on that little child? is that your part of culture as well?
i do agree that some peoples has used an inappropriate language which they shouldn’t. but end of the day, it’s an adverse effect of those humiliating comments made by those sick so-called judges which they don’t really deserve to be.
and please don’t try to give a lecture on your culture. it’s you who makes the difference. and every person is different. there’s no point on making a comment on a whole community just because a few handful of peoples has made a mistake. so, if you think u are an cultured indian, why would you worry about others. if every single person could make them a better citizen, then the whole community prospers.
when the british were here, who could have known discrimination, humiliation and racism better than Indians. but what annoys me a lot is that the british has left india many years ago but i think they have inherited their sick culture over u guys.
what more can I say.
please, i have written this comment especially for sangeeta. I am not a racist and my intention is not to blame any community apart from making the facts clear.
Why do you think “Waada Rahaa Pyar Se Pyar Ka” should be a song to judge somebody’s mettle ? It’s a very simple composition that does not reveal any singing aspect of a singer. I think it is very ordinary song. At this moment when I am replying to you, I can suggest of one song that I can think will bring out their skills and that is “Hamein Tumse Pyar Kitna” by Parveen Sultana, remember the Parveen Sultana version and not Kishore version. Parveen Sultana has done an amazing job and her rendition shows her grip on classical music that is the mother of all other forms of Indian bollywood istyle (if at there is any).
Are you sure about your statement “Today she is almost at the threshold of successful career in playback singing.” ???? Seriously you think she is nearing the playback singing stuff…. I think she is no where except for a having a nice voice.. we have many girls like that in India who have nice voice but lack “sur” majorly. Sorry I strongly disagree with your comments above.. can’t beleive it..
I don’t think judges are biased. They are supporting the right contestants and that is their job. Prakriti definitely does not belong in top 3. Anwesha is the best singer in the contest and she should win.
I am wondering what kind of Brain this Nepali clan have?
This is called “putul naach” in Bengali, means “puppet dance” :the putul dances according to skill of the puppeteer’s hand>the string is unseen and putul entertains. In Bengal, folk dance where it started, it’s called “ketu naach”
it played Ramayana to sita Haran(abduction of sita) evrything.Mahabhartha was also displayed along with charu katha in Gramin Bangla(village folk )
Villagers will gather at the dance stage and will vent their emotions with the music and dance of the puppets. After a while, the unison of the rhythm with folks emotions will be high enough to entertain the public.
50% voting is public and nothing more
That’s the maximum prakriti can get
50% of the Judges vote will determine her fate where she will get 25%-30% = 75%-80%
Anyone, either ASH or ANES may get 40% in public voting but 49% -50% in judge’s voting= 89%-90% comfortable enough to be first and second.
khel katham > paisa hazam >wait for the next ketu naach!
The only deserving winner at the time of “Debojit Saha” was Nihira Joshi. She was far far ahead of others in all terms. Vinit,Himani etc were just singers.. Nihira was/is trained. I
I would slightly contradict on one aspect of your comment that highlights Shreya Ghoshal’s attitude towards Anwesha. I think Shreya isn’t happy with the kind of songs that Anwesha is singing. In the past couple of episodes she has sung all “garbage numbers”. Even when she sang “Jaane Kya Chaahe Man”.. she was actually fighting with the pitch of the song. I think Shreya wants to see her perform songs that just brings the class of this little wonder called Anwesha.. for example songs like “Ek Raadha Ek Meera”, “Mere Dholna” etc etc.. I think there are enough songs in Hindi cinema that Anwesha can choose (given the fact that she is allowed to choose her songs) that can bring her true colour and skill.
Gaj ji doesn’t eat grass>he knows how high is the emotion of these Gorkhas run and how fast his kitty will be filled up.prakrita is the right choice than vyom in 3rd place, to fill up the kitty.
If British could win the world war2 using these Gorkha Regiment just By giving them a title”Bhadur” ,then why Gaji couldn’t win this simple game.
Gorkhas’ had the highest casulty in the world.

Being a physician I don’t have as much time as you have. You first STOP CALLING ME NAMES O.K.? You first called me ‘JARK’ (JERK) and a Monkey . YOU of all people should not ask NEPALIS to mind their language!YOU FIRST MIND YOUR OWN LANGUAGE O.K.?IF THEY ARE HOOLIGANS THEN YOU’RE EVEN WORSE.I DON’T WANT TO STOOP TO YOUR LEVEL. PARVEEN AND I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO.You’re an uncultured and pretentious person who I have no intention to deal with.
Jaane kya chahe mann was originally sung by Zubin Garg and its always hard for a woman to sing a man’s song because of the high pitch. Considering that I think Anwesha did a brilliant job.

@all
In the current scenario of things, eevrything seems like gajendra’s plan. maybe anvesha will be eliminated because the whole point to show those clips was to get votes in. poor prakrit had to suffer in this.
The judges did it to save anvehsa from elimination. Even shreya, ehos eezxpression towards anvesha is not as good as aishwarya, wants anu in final 2.Obviously since she is best singer.
But judes could have done it not making prakrit sad. if as people feel aishwarya will be crowned winner, then what’s the point of the whole contest? Many good singers like jayant,geetasri and sonia had to be eliminated before ‘average’ singers like prakrit and aishwarya. I feel prakrit is as good or bad as ash. judges are biased towards ash or is it gajji?
Definitely Aishwarya should go thsi time. all this is gajendra ji ka tricks. mano ejta wu. very clever gajendra ji. You want aishwarya to win and will eliminate anvesha and prakriti the good singers.
and gajendra ji your aishwarya will fail if she has to compete with prakriti.She was making faces when prakriti came to top 3. shame on you aishwarya. you are here just because of gajendra and i am sure public not voting for you.
I have been reading the remarks on this forum. there seems to be many knowledgeable poeple here. however some like Mr. biaswas’s comments are not easy to read. They are written with a pretentious import.
i would just request all readers to vote for the shining talent ANVESHA DATTA GUPTA. there is no other deserving winner in this show. Contestants like Aishwarya are inflated beyond their worth, and there seems to be propoganda there in portraying her as the best. She is not even near the best. Also the format of the show leaves one with grave doubts as to why aishwarya is highlighted so much.
There were many upcoming good singers like mansi and prakriti and the little pendulum. they should have been given some attention. they will all do well in future– god bless. As for 2′nd and 3′rd anyone can come. Ideally I would have liked mansi to come to top 5. All the kids are good and should be given recognition.
the one who deserved to win and does is anvesha. none other. However voting is another ball game altogether.
SEems like lot of people for anvesha. Where are you people when the voting starts? It is sad that bengalis just talk, but are not clever enough to vote for the deserving and talented. But then again, bengalis who should have won like aneek and sanchita and anamika got votes.
But anvesha is much talented then them and deserves more votes. Ficke-minded public!!
To me, Gitashree is third best in this competition, after 1.Aishwarya 2.Anwesha
The judges threw Gitashree out only to avoid Bengali votes getting split
In my list of top 3, among them 2 are Bengalis. So I’m not against Bengalis.
Of course Gitashree had some limitations. All her songs were of one type but whatever she sang, it was 100 percent perfect. I don’t know how well she’d have performed later if she’d stayed I’m basing my comments on her short stay.
But Aishwarya is definitely the very best. There’s absolutely no doubt about that at all.
I don’t agree with one of the comments above that Shreya is afraid of Anwesha. It’s been seen before that a new singer with a similar voice and style as a established singer has no chance in the industry. That’s why when Lata, Asha Bhonsle and Mohd Rafi were singing, no other similar singer could break in.
But Aishwarya with her fantastic different voice and style is a real threat to Shreya. It’s really great that in spite of this threat, Shreya still encourages Aishwarya. Truly I admire her for this.
When Anwesha sings a good song, Shreya immediately sings to show that she’s better, but never has Shreya sang the same song after Aishwarya. Shreya can never hope to sing better than Aishwarya
Though I am following this program from day One, I finally concluded that this program has to be stopped at once.
Esc. when Kunal said to Prakruti that she can win “Pop contest” but no chhote ustaad. Prakruti deserve nahi karati ye kunal ko aab kaise pata chala. Last 30 episodes main soya tha kya?
In fact, I was in impression that Kunal is good singer. But if he is not good human being, then according to me, he is not good singer. Also, if he has said this in studio, ( where earlier programs were done ) , I will still ( somehow ) forgive him, but not this time. As he has openly insulted Prakruti in front of thousands of people in Bhopal.
In fact, kunal can sing only few types of songs as his singing style is western, He can sing the way Sonu Nigam or Udit Narayan signs. They are class apart. So Kunal should remember his own limitations before blaming to Prakruti.
I was suprised that even Shreya does the same way.
I would like to say that, Prakruti is not good singer as
Anwesha or Aishwarya. But she has good voice and after say 3/4 years , she can be promising singer. Though she is kid now , she has her own respect. and Judges should not insult anyone so openingly.
That’s why, I will pledge, not to vote anyone so that
these kind of programs will not be on air in future.
( At least, judges will not insult any one like what happened with Prakruti )
To Gajendra Singh,
When Saregama was started, It was class apart. But now
it is not even a reality show.
To all music lovers…

BAN VOICE OF INDIA AT ONCE.

2 things i need to know ,Devji:
1.what’s the prize money?
2.future after such an awward
Because these are kids they will have to finish school.
Because i am sure there are many have won in the past > what percentage still pursued the singing as career.
I think this Public Humiliation was done in a very BAD TASTE and unwanted. Moreover it was done to save Anwesha and NOT Aishwarya. Aishwarya has already got high marks from the `GREAT` Judges on Saturday. Hope fully she will get enough support from her fans and will get high votes as always. It was so evident from these judges` comments for Prakriti`s performances (Friday- VERY HIGH and saturday- VERY LOW) that they are telling her supporters NOT to VOTE for her! It was done in DISGUSTING MANNER. You can not tell people who are for their community to be UN-LOYAL! Not Possible! Tell /Appeal to people to Vote for a good/best Singer. But this was Really Stooping Very Low and conducted in a very bad TASTE.Think of the Psychy of that 12 YEAR OLD n HONEST CHILD! I think that without enough public Support if anyone of them has to go it is yet ok then humiliating a child in PUBLIC like this.
Well said mr Sherpa,
I agree with you on yr point on Aishwarya. Every guest has always PRAISED Aishwarya on each of her performance. On some of her performances she has been praised much MORE than Anwesha(ALKAJI, ADNAN SAMI, ABHIJITDA,ILA ARUN) But still i don`t understand why these Judges talk about only Anwesha as CONSISTANT. That is why i think she really thinks that she is THE BEST. That is the sole reason for her crying on a single criticism from Pritamda. She was surely given SARVOTTAMS even on performances not deserving. While on a very good performance of AAWARA BHANWRE she was given only ATI UTTAMS from all 3 Judges. It was very clear that it was PRE-DECIDED. Still she did not cry and accepted it nicely. you could see the disappointment on her face after a brilliant effort to sing a VERY DIFFICULT SONG. I think if Shreya had sung the same song at that time it would have sounded the same. I m writting this after hearing Aishwarya and the Original back to back.
ONE CAN NEVER REACH ANYWHERE IN LIFEBY STEPPING ON SOMEONE.YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO OVERTAKE OTHERS AND GO AHEAD IN LIFE.
I M WITH YOU ON YOUR POINT ON LOYALTY WITH YOUR GIRL. BRAVO!
you already criticised me on 16th but never appreciated my comments “I REALLY WONDER WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR DEAR MR PROTECTOR!”
no civic sense?
who has supported this ?? tell me !
in a forum,there is a coutesy ,to say thank you or excuse because these are very basic manners.the way this place is running is uncourteous and antisocial.: unruly forum.
I was really very, very upset to see Saturday’s program. The remarks of Kunal Ganjawala were really outrageous and heartbreaking for Prakriti. While I agree that performance-wise both Anwesha and Aishwarya are better than her, but Kunal has no right to pass such remarks. In fact, what this cute and innocent girl deserved was appreciation and encouragement so that she could perform better on her second attempt. However, not once but two times in the same eposode, she was roughly treated by the same judge and other judges also agreed to him.
Being a foreigner, perhaps I may not have the right to complain on the outrageous and uncalled for behaviour of Kunal, but “insaanyat kay naatey” I strongly condemn such a treatment on a child of minor age and demand an apology from Kunal.
As far as performance of Saturday’s program is concerned, while judges appeared to favor Aishwarya, but the fact is that Anwesha perfomed better than her. Her performance in both the songs was even better than the original.
I had earlier appealed to the people of Kolkata to give lots of vote to Anwesha and I once again request the people of Kolkata to wake up before it is too late. Your daughter deserves your support. If you cannot support your daughter then who else will you.
I again wish and pray that may Anwesha win the title of Chhote Ustaad.
Thank You Mr Biswas.
I wonder what to appreciate about yr comment! On one criticism you made such a hue and cry! ON ACTUAL CHILD ABUSE you had to say you don`t support it. IS THAT ENOUGH? NOTHING ELSE? I expected much more from a person like you. And so i just left it. I guess, each person has his own opinions!
I wonder why you are so negative about everyone and everything! Teaching basic manners, courtesy, civic sense and ethics is done by parents in India. why do you take it on yourself? I think it is hurting you more than anybody else.
Rohanpreet is a very talented singer & performer , but probably your negative outlook towards Ishmeet’s community is not letting you see his talent.
Punjabis/Sikhs have a broad outlook, but other people cant seem to digest or see them reaching at the top. This is very sad for sikhs, who are willing to make the highest sacrifices for the country. And people of India cant even stand them winning small music contests. How sad! These reality shows have exposed the negative outlook of fellow Indians towards sikhs. Despite winning Ishmeet has been denied the respect that should be given to a champion purely because of his religion.
Gajendra Singh seems to get some sadistic pleasure by getting innocent contestants insulted. Earlier innocent Ishmeet was repeatedly insulted in the worst possible manner by Abhijeet, lalit Pandit & Aadesh Shrivastav.
Now cute/little Prakriti is facing the music. Though she has not been racially targetted like Ishmeet, but Kunal Ganjawala should be more sensitive in dealing with a little girl.
Kunal Ganjawala thinks himself to be a too big person.
He even insulted Ishmeet when he came to launch his album in Chotte Ustaad. He said to Ishmeet”Tumhe milega utna hi jitna tum deserve karte ho”. Now is this the way to speak to a guest in the show.
Kunal Ganjawala is high on Ganja it seems.
On the 14th and 15th, in all 3 of the songs Aishwarya was better than Anwesha to varying degree. For the first time, I listened to the songs without looking at the screen. I deliberately kept my eyes closed. To this day, I don’t know what happened on the screen during these songs.
For the song on the 14th, Anwesha was very good but Aishwarya was fantastic. What reach and sweep of voice she’s got.
On the 15th, Anwesha’s performance was much below. As usual, Aishwarya fully deserved all the praise she got.
Supporters of Aishwarya, Come on, don’t be passive. Let’s not allow this blog to be taken over by the Bengali fanatics. Come on, post messages of support for Aishwarya, genuinely the best of the best.
I am not against bengalis, but what I meant was like Bengalis hv the right to win, Punjabis and others hv similarly right to win these contests. For example in Saregamapa all bengalis r winning again & again. Here i must tell u , I also voted for Aneek.
Ishmeet had a soft,melodious and original voice. Still everybody is putting him down for reasons – you know what i mean?
If i can support Aneek, why can’t u support Ishmeet or Rohanpreet. Thats my point.
Exactly. This is what I have to say but some hard nuts who are blindly supporting others such as rahul, sri and biswas do not understand the point and keep singing their own song. That too besoora
Star TV & judges are really fooling public. Public voting is a joke. Public do not know who is getting vote & how many etc. Waste of money & time.
Someone wrote earlier too that these episodes are taped,edited & played later. Even Vyom’s Mom requested to Gajindra not to edit her comments. So, everything is done on the show for some purpose.
Btw, Shreya & Kunal have been rude to Prakriti so many times before too. Shreya was criticizing her left & right in previous show also. Only at this stage of the competition we see more criticism of judges by viewers. Prakriti is also a good singer.She is in top 3.
Lets see what is next stored for viewers.
Anwesha & Prakriti or Ashwariya & Prakriti
I do agree with you that Kunal and Shreya are giving unpalatable comments to Prakriti, But I guess this is because of the singing calibre of hers vis-a-vis A+A. However, they should do it properly and not humiliate her in public.
But
HOW COME she is Nepali, she may be from Nepli descent but is very much Indian comming from Darjling in W. Bengal and not from Nepal.
Aishwarya become Bhopal Ki begum. Does her father has enough money to buy whole Bhopal? When will you learnt o accept people’s mandate!
Further, you keep charging Aishwarya on corruption, why don’t you give some proofs? I have even given my e-mail address.
I have come to know that Anwesha’s father is in Mumbai and keep discussing something secretively with channel people. Must be corruption. Isn’t it!
Attn; Mr. Gajendra Singh – I am writing this message from the Maldives.
I am a fan of VOM from the start. Here in the Maldives, VOM was watched by every one. I just though of writing to you my views on VOM.
1- Dissappointment: Senior Level, we missed a wonderful singer like JOSHI.
2- During 14th & 15th March show, the way the judges behaved, shameful. I never expected this from Kunal and Shreya. In the meantime, Pritam and Adesh, commented on Prakriti on her performance. Superb judgement by both of them.
Kunal and Shrey, what are thinking of themselves ?. Too big ?. No way, may be they are worried that more and more young and new talents are entering the bollywood.
I agree that Anvesha and Aishwarya are far better than Prakiriti. But, this is not the way to humilate that poor girl. She has done her best. What else can she do ?. I was watching, Kunal and Shreya commenting on this poor girls performance very rudely. Un acceptable. What ever it is, she has come to the final 3. If they are the real judges, they would have given good comments on this girl. But, the way Kunal came out, I was shocked. Why he want to compare with others ?. He called her a pop star ?. No harm, what is the differnce between a pop star and a bollywood play back singer like Kunal ?. Let’s take Usha Udoop. What a wonderul lady with golden voice ?. They are singers who can appreciated other singers. But, Kunal ?. I had a high thinking of Kunal and now it has shattered.
I am totally against his comments towards Prakirti. Shame.
Kunal and Shreya, openly supported Aishwarya and Anvesha. This is not done. As judges, they should be neutral.
Anyway, Gaj, plese select the judges for your next show taking all these comments on mind.
Wish you all the best for your good work. Keep going…
Aishwarya and Out of SOOR?
She is one briliant contestant of Chhote Ustaad who took Atiuttam by all 3 judges with a smile on her face. If you have even a little sense of what indian music is, you will have to accept that she was Sarvottam in that rendition.
It was Anwesha who started crying after receiving atiuttam from Pritamda on her totaly flat singing. Wrightly some one said in this forum. “She sang without any feeling and was standing there to receive best of the comments as usual”.
Aishwarya is standing on the podium of Chhote ustaad with her sheer talent and regular riyaaz which judges have recognised lately.
sir, Its really heartbreaking when one recals the harsh and rather discriminating coments of Kunal Ganjawala about Prakriti from Darjeeling. One can imagin, what could have thru’ the mind of that small child.There was really no need of making their(judges)intention pulic.I appeal to the star plus organisers of the show that in future they should be more careful about the selection of the judges.Judges should not so irresponsible, biased and discriminating. Its really disgusting.
ALL SAID AND DONE THE DIRECTOR AND THE JUDGES HAD NO OTHER OPTION BUT TO RATE PRAKRITI’S PERFORMANCE AS MEDIOCRE IN COMPARISON TO THAT OF AISHWARYA AND ANWESHA AS EVERY KNOWLEDGEABLE MUSIC LOVER KNOWS THAT THE STANDARD OF AISHWARYA AND ANWESHA IS MUCH MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT OF PRAKRITI.AISHWARYA AND ANWESHA ARE TRAINED SINGERS WITH VERY WIDE EXPOSURE AND ALMOST EVERYONE WOULD LIKE TO SEE FINAL COMPETITION BETWEEN AISHWARYA AND ANWESHA.
.IF TODAY PRAKRITI IS THERE IN TOP 3 IT IS SOLELY BECAUSE OF MASSIVE VOTING IN HER FAVOUR. ALMOST EVERY SECOND PERSON ON THIS BLOG IS POINTING OUT UNDESERVING CONTESTANTS DECLARED AS WINNERS IN THE PAST. EVEN WHEN THERE WAS NO PUBLIC VOTING MANY A TIME JUDGES SELECTED THEIR OWN FAVOURITES RATHER THAN THE DESERVING ONE .EVEN THE LEGEND ANIL BISWAS COMMITTED A BLUNDER IN ONE OF THE SHOWS;HE WAS CARRIED AWAY BY A SAIGHAL NUMBER THOUGH ONE FEMALE CONTESTANT SHRADHA FROM PUNJAB BETTERED NOORJEHAN’S RENDITION “KIS TARAH BHOOLENGE HUM UNKA KHAYAL AAYA–”I HAVE WATCHED RECORDINGS OF TEN YEARS OF GAJENDRA SINGH’S SHOWS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND CAN POINT OUT REPEATED BUNGLING BY THE JUDGES..JUDGES ARE ARE ALSO HUMAN BEINGS AND ARE THEREFORE NOT INFALLIBLE.
KINDLY REFRAIN FROM ATTACKING YOUNG SHREYA AND GENTLEMAN KUNAL . THEY HAD THEIR OWN COMPULSIONS TO UPGRADE AISHWARYA AND ANWESHA TO SAVE THEM FROM POSSIBLE ELIMINATION.THEIR ONLY FAULT WAS THAT THEY BEHAVED RATHER RUDELY. THEY COULD HAVE CONVEYED THEIR GRADATION IN DIPLOMATIC MANNER.
SHREYA IS HIGHLY TALENTED AND AT PRESENT SHE IS AMONG THE TOP PLAYBACK SINGERS.SHE RECEIVED TRAINING FROM KALYANJI OF KALYANJI-ANANDJI DUO FOR A FEW YEARS AND USED TO PERFORM IN KAYANJI’S SHOWS.SHE HAS WORKED WITH DEDICATION BACKED BY FULL SUPPRT OF HER PARENTS.
hi everyone !
i read all the comments…..it seems like……more than appreciating and encouraging the young kids…people are just taking part in the tug of war of their own sick mentality…..
well! i am from darjeeling too…..and a nepali-indian. i am not here to defend or speak on behalf of prakriti…….but the way u guys are commenting and jump into the tug of war point one’s identity…i wanna make few questions to first….so called herself cultured indian sangeeta…..
miss sangeeta as u have doubt and rudely commented about the identity of darjeeling people….let me ask u something…..do u indeed know either history or geography of india????if u are reallly aware with it then u wouldn’t dare to question about our identiy…..and as u said uncultured people….plez ask the government to throw away all the gorkhas..who in ur sense is uncultured…who is always there at the peak of kargil and other zone to secure ur safety from intruders…..
as u said u r proud to be cultured part of india…..where there is no room for love….and ur parents have to buy dulha (groom) for u…and if ur parents can’t afford to buy dulha in proper price…..they give away kerosene prices to ur in-laws- to give u mukti from this world…and..inorder to be gori gori u’ll always have brainstrom to be know the nuskha of how to be fair…..well! congratulation to u for that…..and i am very happy to be part of uncultured society like ours where we value love….n we dun have to pay price or buy dulha….and our parents might not be rich….but not garib to buy and give kerosene/gasoline to give us mukti from aurro ke hathon….kyon???? pura uncultured na?????
well! well! biswas ji….u wrote so much thing praising anvesh and aishwarya….kunal and shreya….and also try to be sarcastic toward voting craziness of my people……
well! let me remind u……it is not the people of darjeeling who threatened Gajji or so called talented judges to choose and place Prakriti as top 11 contestants of SVOI…..
if judges really think she doesn’t deserve to be where she is standing now…..then why the hell they choose her to be one of the top contestants???? if being trained is the essence of the show…..y do they have to pick her at the first and later humilate poor kid infront of whole world showing the pathetic mentality of themselves????
ya…as u said…i too totally agreed…if they really think…..people voting is not fair…then y the hell they dun stop this kinda tamasha???? its not just 14th and 15th show….but right from the beginnning we could see and sense very well……how these people wanted either aishwarya or anvesha to be winner……then y they have to prolong the show by bringing new kid…..and then again bringing back prakriti wid public voting when she was already out????
welll! biswasji…….if possible let Shreya…and Kunal read the books on ethics….and especially handover them the dictionary to read and know the meaning of “JUDGE”.
i once again….ask people like sangeeta…….try to think like real indian if u can…..know first what constitution and preamble says….about indian…….before u spill out ur sick mentality towards certain race and people…
and biswas….i dun think u have right to appeal people not to vote for whom they want……if u think u prefer somebody…just spend ur money and vote for her…and raise some campaign to help u do the same……instead of writing against the one who do so….
coz the program itself is…for public voting….or else protest and raise the campaign against the such programs that encourage people to be dishonest…and show thier sentiments for thier people…..
Becaause Anwesha is a much better singer than Prakriti.Aishwarya is not that good a singer but better than Prakriti. They want to see the best singers at the top. But I think Shreya is unfairly praising Aishwarya a little too much because she is threatened by AWESOME Anwesha! That’s my opinion but you may disagree.

Idiot, go read comments of Prashant Sherpa. All this thing happened because Prakriti is getting good votes and is big competition to Anwesha. Aishwarya is anyway there in finals.
I AGREE WITH YOU.
Why bother to blog? More important is to Vote for our dear little always smiling and cheerful Aishwarya. Why waste time to sit and write? Keep talking to people about the show and tell them to vote for AISHWARYA.
We want her to WIN. But to win all she needs is our FULL SUPPORT in VOTING and not in blogging.
If people can not see what this little girl is made of- it is their bad luck! Her nature, her supportive and cultured-positive background and her versatility.She has shown this in the variety of songs that she has displayed in the show. All the respected Guests-music related could see it. It is ok if others can not see these qualities and keep blogging against her.
Let us try and get her maximum no of votes in the finals.
You idiot Rahul alias Dargiling! Most Aishwarya’s fans are too busy to spend rather waste time on this blog. They are busy people who work and not only talk like bangalis.
I remember once when I was in Calcutta, my friend told me that he will gather a small crowd and he just started pointing nowhere in sky and within 15 minutes there was a crowd of 50 persons starrying nowhere to find nothing. Poor Bengolies, they have nothing but time and so keep writing in the blogs.
Do not have to teach me about my culture. Yes I can give lectures about our culture because we have so many things that we can be proud of! Be it science, music, education. West Bengal is a small state which produced such good talents not only for India but for the world and you all have ignored our state over and over the years. When rest of the province in India get such a huge budget for their development and we get nothing and you do not feel bad because that is not your state/province. And you all say with you bad mouth “kalkatta pe to kuch bhi nahi hain sirf lal zanda” Are akal ke dushamono! hoga keyeshe tumhare jeyeshe peyshe tode hi na milta hain West Bengal ko reform karne ke liye? Lekin Jalane ka time pe aaplog sab se aage ho…Bengalis are this they are that!
Mein bhi racist nahi hun ok! Mein ne kisi bhi race ko chota nahi kiya mein sirf mere province ke bare mein kaha ki I am proud of that. Accha Naam hi aapka “Viper” sirf dank marna jante ho!
Kahe ka culture sikha rahe ho aap? When the same people eliminated others like getashree, pendulum, arib you never felt that an abuse . Now that your favorite contestant is in trouble you feel that the Judges are not good! Very funny!
Dareeling is in West Bengal ok. Calcutta is not the only place in West Bengal.
You are fine to be mad at the government to have ignored west bengal. But you have no right to treat Indians in Darjeeling of Nepalese ancestors who have been Indian citizens for generations and generations.
Its this ignorance of people like you in this forum talking shit about people from darjeeling and North east (which darjeeling is not) that is very annoying.
Also would like to add that Prakriti’s Aunt on the show has shown great restraint and demure behaviour even under some conditions that in the past have caused outburts by parents and relatives of singing contests.
I really hope though that atleast once she would calmly tell the judges that some of their comments are excessive and damaging to anyone more so to a child.
Well Good luck to all contestants.
I hope the fans will not have to witness anymore drama and major humiliations given to any children in the last two episodes or so that are left.
Please give positive comments about the contestant that you are a die hard fan of. Support them further by buying their CD with your money when it comes out ok.
Stop saying terrible things about the other contestants that you do not like.
Come on we are not all the same. Everyone has their own tastes and preferences.
Chote ustad fan!
Where did you get such kind of thing? Who told you that we are not aware of Darjeeling and its in West Bengal, I belong to West Bengal and I know about my state, I had been to Darjeeling 5 -6 times. The orginal inhabitants are the people from Nepali origin, thats true. But I think they do not want to be associated with India plus West Bengal, that is why they keep on saying Jai Ghrokhaland? Why cannot they Jai West Bengal? Ask the local people over there not me or anybody! Why cannot Prikriti ask people of West Bengal to vote for her? Ek baar maang ke to dekho! She is also the daughter of the same soil where I was born. Only few kilometers away.
I am also telling you people Prakriti has very sweet voice I have nothing against her,she needs a little bit training she can oneday bring name and fame for West Bengal for sure. The comparision is here only becuase of the other two participants, they took over Parkriti probably as they are little more trained. I am also not sure if you have traning schools in Darjeeling unlike kolkata. Not in every part of West bengal you have such kind of schools , people from rural areas of west bengal they travel all the way to kolkata to get tarining from the Pandits. But I beleive for Prakriti she is yet to samll by age to do so, Her parents should move to a good place where they can provide such facilities.
The contestants are often given difficult songs to sing in Gajendra Singh’s CHHOTE USTAD show. May I ask how many difficult songs The Melody Queen Lata Mangeshkar sang in her entire career to be acknowledged as the greatest ever playback singer?
The socalled difficult songs are all either remixes or lifted from some foreign source. Lata Mangeskar’s every rendition is unique. It is quality of her voice ,her hard work, her dedication, her knowledge of classical ragaas which has made her complete singer.The composers of her time -NAUSHAD,C.RAMCHANDRA,MADAN MOHAN ,SHANKAR-JAIKISHAN,KHEMCHAND PRAKASH, SD BURMAN ,RD BURMAN ,RAVI,SAJJAAD HUSSAIN etc. were all masters in art of film music unlike to-day’s composers who do not possess even 10% talent of erstwhile composers.It is all noise and nothing else. The true music lovers are repeatedly condemning the selection of songs in Chhote Ustad show.
It appears Gajendra Singh has also lost sense of real melody and has adopted foreign culture. The ace director has gone astray and is destroying the great Indian legacy of classical ragaas and is running after cheap adulterated music which has been disliked by discening music lovers who still like classics sung by LATA MANGESHKAR.If gajendra Singh continues with this trend some other channel will soon start real music show which will bring back the melody and Singh will become history.
mani
Don’t live under delusions. let me remind you anvesha never received a single ‘attiuttam’. check your fanaticism,which is symbolic of your biased nature.
Aishwarya has received attiuttams many times. that cleary shows who is inferior. she is here only because of judges’ patronsing towards her. she is nothing compared to anvesha, geetashri and sonia
Oh really? Now stop these rascist comments. Otherwise bengalis would not receive so much appreciation on talent shows. in every talent show, we have talent from dif.. regions and often enough bengalis are at the top.
Its not just here, but in other fields also. And I don’t think you are who you pretend to be, because bengalis and north-east people get elong very well. Don’t try to create false enemity between them
bengali,punjabi,marathi all like anvesha better. in mumbai everybody ahtes gajji’s fave ash. we knoe her reasons for being here are diff from other contestants.
dear sangeeta..!!
stop being teacher and teach us wad we have to do..??? yes, we are ethinically nepali and but due to geographical and historical factor we have to accept our identity as indian…..its not us who do not want to identify ourselves as indian….but foremost of all it is becoz of the sick attitude of bengoli people like u….we hate to be under west bengal government….wad does west bengal government has done so far darjeeling…??? except the fact treating us worse than than step mother…..yes..we are proud to be called “Gorkhali” as our ancestors were “Gorkhali” and are still serving as number one regiment in indian army as “Gorkha Regiment”…..
Jai Gorkha…..Jai Gorkhaland…..just send ur pic…and then come to darjeeling…we will show u…understand the difference between cultured and uncultured people…
wad do u mean by shifting to good place….when u suggest prakriti’s parents???…..which good place do u live??? sona gachi or near by?????
i heard these cultured people in sona gachi (galli)learn to sing with taan pura right from year or two….do u live and learn in such a good and professional place?????
dun try to mask ur racist face under the skin of so called musical knowledge or pacca fan of true music….one can smell the rat easily when u write comments in bengoli to biswas….and seeking his company in ur racist movement….
well! i could easily feel how sick u r……..u wanna spill ur prejudice towards darjeeling….nepali origin people…..and u use this blog….and above all a little innocent girl….as every child is pure as an angel to express ur sick mentality??? how cruel and pathetic u r…….
of course what can i expect from the cold and stone hearted so called cultured people like u…..whose heart will not shake even a little to take life of someone’s daughters and sisters….for the sake of dowry……how could such cold people would have pity or sympathy with little girl….when she is mentally tortured and wounded by so called “judges”…….kunal called prakriti…a pop star…..how the hell he forget that he started as pop star too???? i dun think kunal’s bheege hoth came before his chandawe ghar aajawe…..shit to looser like him…..let us talk about genre and versatility…..i challange kunal to sing classic song like “kuch na kaho” by kumar sanu….and “pahela nasha” by udit narayan……i know…he will be croaking like a frog in the monsoon….
well! shreya too…..beggin’ two three awards doesn’t mean she is asha bhosle……i bet…if she could sing asha bhosle’s any song and show us she is a versatile singer…..okie leave asha……tell her to sing sunidhi’s song…..i bet…..ushki nani yaad aajayegi…..as a train singer she might sing sunidhi’s song…or asha’s but when it comes for melody…..i think……she’ll never be able to sing ever after her first attempt…
well! too much west bengal ki bengolian sangeeta….stop using blog like this to express ur sick racist mentality…..if u really got the guts to face us….then come….i’ll show who is kitni gutsy….
we know how to fight in the every battle field of life…….prakriti is the daughter of gorkha…..she’ll fight till the end and will be one to finish the game too !!!
jai Gorkha….Jai Gorkhaland…..Jai Darjeeelian…..we are Gorkha and sirf Gorkha…..long live Gorkhaland
I personally feel it will be ideal to give one particular song to all the three contestants and then judge their talents so that it will be easy to find the differences. Since we all agree all the three voices are equally good. We can Judge who will do better.
How come you know so much about Sonagachi?How often you go there it seems you keep going to such place often that is why this name came to your mind where as there is so many places in kolkata/West Bengal.
I don’t know! Please let me kmow.I’m fan of Anwesha’s and I just found out that she has NO control about the songs that she is supposed to sing where as other performers do! Thats outragious!
Dear s a,
everybody her is hurt by the way prakriti was handled,it goes without saying. she is upright ,honest and very decent but judges should have been courteous and polite.
don’t get upset.
i agree wid u
kunal and shreya u r very rude and u r being biased i m sure i knw u like anwesha n wont gv good comments to anybody else than anwesha so that public will b impressed but dont forget one thing u both public is not blind……..n u kunal only have a particular style to singe which u always show off the only one particular way to sing as u r sayin to prakirti so u r worst than her coz look at her age n urs……………biased judges preetam is good though
I just found out that Anwesha has no control over the songs she sings BUT other participants(you know who) does!. That’s discrimination!I just found out that she was given songs to sing which is totally unfamiliar to her.GAJJI WE KNOW YOU WANT AISHWARYA TO WIN! THAT’s WHY ANWESHA HAS BEEN GIVEN UNRECOGNIZABLE SONGS TO SING AND AISHWARYA WAS GIVEN ALL THE POPULAR SONGS RECENTLY!Please for once let the best singer win O.K.? You don’t want another VOI when the least deserving candidate (like Ishmeet)wins!Please once and for all stay away from all the politics and let the best singer win – which is definitely ANWESHA!

I understand that you’re a NEPALI and got hurt by Kunal’s and Shreya’s remarks! WE all felt bad for Prakriti but tell me do you really think Prakriti is better than Anwesha? Prakriti will shine in a few years but she has to have some classical training.Let’s not badmouth anyone because after all we are all INDIANS RIGHT?
What’s VOM? I thought it’s VOI? And its not JOSHI it’s TOSHI OK? I agree with you but judges have to do their job and that is to steer people to the best singers and they are trying their best.And again it’s USHA UTHUP not UDOOP OK?! THANKS and happy blogging!
angie: pl don’t get upset.Prakriti is an upright,decent and beautiful girl.when Anwesha was crying for her,she was consoling Anwesha (if U see),being 12yrs to 14yrs old didi.she is very respectable and it’s reflected in her demure and confidence.she is dignified.i am absolutely sure she will be highly successful in life with such a high moral background ,singing is the least of such a person to expect…she could be Dr.Mani chetri , a world renown physician. . This system is totally wrong and faulty.Nobody,unless a sick person can support this!
thanks
Here is the map of India people of this forum who claim to be sooooo proud of India please take a look seems like you don’t know your own country and its people well.
And heres a video I found on u-tube of Mizo idol. Yes there is a place called Mizoram in your country and they don’t look like what you expect a typical Indian to via your Bollywood movies. I know some Mizo friends in delhi
who say they face a lot of racism and rude remarks in their daily life. Even educated people in India keep asking them where they are from and when they say Mizoram….they are like which country is that. Not even which state but which country. Its always a daunting task explaining to people that they are indeed from India, born and brought up.
I hope atleast a few music lovers in this forum will enjoy watching it.
There are many other cultures in the North-east. Most of them are not into Bollywood movies and songs. So they have no clue about chote ustad to be bothered about using their hard earned money to vote for a girl from West Bengal (from a teeny town in WB -Darjeeling). Atleast in Mizoram I am aware of the fact that they are primarily into gospel christian singing, songs from their own mother tongue and English rock songs. Only Manipur among those places in the above map might be interested in Hindi music. This is because they have a developing film, tele film industry that Sai media has taken interest in and used very hindi music styles of cinematography and formats.
So please stop dragging North east into it.
Some people say even east india. What east India???? Stop creating factions from the figments of your racist imagination.
And please don’t say stuff like ohhhh they are into English songs …our culture is going down etc etc..and blah blah…..everyone has their own love for music you cannot control that. And people in Darjeeling fortunatly or unfortunately looooove hindi music even though they have their own rock bands etc. Can’t help it… if music touches you it does. I for one love music in different genres and languages and even tolerate movies which still have dusra janam and yadash kogaya plots just because I am have been enjoying hindi songs via bollywood since I was a little child. And by the way I have many Indian friends from darjeeling and Calcutta who are not so old school as you.
And if everyone else including your favs are asking for votes in Bengali, Gujrati and from Bhopal. Then why is it so different when Prakriti is asking for votes in her mother tongue.
If you want to be called Kolkotta instead of Calcutta and Chennai instead of madras etc so what if some people in Darjeeling (originally Dorjee-Ling) want to be called
Gorkhas in memory of and identifying with Gurkha soldiers who are famous the world over for their loyalty and bravery. And she kept saying Thank-you Hindustan many many times in the past. But if Hindustan (esp show organizers and narrow minded people on this forum)are not willing to accept her as a hindustani then what do you expect her to feel and say.
Infact she should be bold and confident as she was initially when she used to enjoy singing with pizaaz. She should flatly ask the judges why are you mistreating me. What have I done to you or your family? How does it justify you to drag me around and give me Madyam in a genre that you originally said was my strongest??? Also I did not choose the songs the show did and you know that clearly so why are you scolding me over something I cannot control. Sir/madam with due respect to your past achievements I would like to say that you are giving me and many other people mixed messages and confusing the hell out of our little minds. In the past when I have sung songs from legends like Lataji instead of encouraging me to follow the correct path in my musical journey you have stopped me and given me cheesy numbers like just chill chill. My ultimate humiliation started from the time you made me sing a cheesy number in front of esteemed Ghulam Ali Sahib. Well the things that are way out of wack are too many so many she should just say that she is not stupid and understands the politics being done to her by the show. And send in a letter to all judges and show organizers with every detail of their lies and drama.
The actions and words of these supposed gurus are going to affect people for a long time so it would serve them better karma wise to choose their words and actions wisely not just at the whim of making cheap publicity money for a TV show.
Life in India is changing. But too bad we have to wait for old farts like you with racist minds to get really old and die before seeing any real integration of hindustan and unity among different cultures within this diverse nation.
You sound like a fake cultured person. Can you show me where I have ever written that Nepalis are uncultured people? You won’t have to comment on my write-up because to me you are wearing a mask of so called gorkha cultured. Have you seen how your Ghorkha borthers here in this site used all foul languages? Is that you culture? And you? You are also the same, there are so many places in Kolkata but you specified sonagachi that resembles what type of background you come from.!!! You said you are from Darjeeling but you are only aware of Sonagachi- LOL! There are lot of good places in kolkata.
Due you mean to say that all the singers from Bengal, like Hemanta Mukherjee, Manna Dey. Kumar Shanu, Shaan, Babul Suprioyo, recent winners like Aneek, Sanchita etc according to you they all went to sonagachi right! I wont have to tell who is like what your write up says it all.
You asked me about the dowry right? You need to enhance your knowledge of history regarding our Bengali culture we never had dowry system earlier, in due course gradually it also came to our society from neighbouring influence. But yes I condemn the dowry system and appreciate your culture that you do not have dowry system at all. That is good in your culture.Agreed.
But we have lot of other area where we are proud of which you do not have so do not dare to compare. I will be happy if you can provide equivalent names like Rabindra Nath Thakur, Acharya Jagdish Chandra Bose, Amrtya Sen., Satyajit Ray, Kausik basu-Economist, Alok kumar Gupta- Geologist, Partha Chetterjee-Political scientist, Jamini Roy, Nandala Bose , Hrisikesh Mukherjee, Budhaadeb Dasgupta, RD Burman, Debu Choudury, Kazi Nazrul Islam, Vilayat Khan, Bikram Ghosh these are only few names for you knowledge. Oh well you are not aware of them as you may know some one form only from Sonagachi .
please don’t bring politics here.this is not for that. personal attack is unfortunate. There will be no khalistan,no nagaland,assamland or gorkhaland. pakistan and now Bangladesh were created …are gasping for breath. this concepts were British”divide and Rule” .To-day ,Nepal has no border with India ,everything goes from India >it’s condition would have been exactly the same, what happend to Tibet in 1962.same to Burma is & will be …so please come down from the High emotion and think (you and me going to live only few years then going upstairs for ever…Mr.Jinnah never came back to see what a mess he did but his DAUGHTER, DINA WADIA AND GRANDSON, NUSLI WADIA LIVE IN BOMBAY ,INDIA NOT IN PAKISTAN )a positive how to unite and live togather. USA and european union could not survive unless being united. look at Nepal ,Burma and now china kicking Tibetians like ants>so please learn and educate yourself.if you don’t have (BIBLE)VISION ,YOU WILL PERISH!!!
Video I found on utube of Mizo Idol. I hope atleast a few of you will enjoy the singing of one of the participant there who happens to also be an Indian citizen.
People in North east are primarily into Gospel, songs from their mother tongue and rock music from around the world.
Fortunatly or unfortunately people from Darjeeling are into Zee TV, star plus etc and Hindi movies.
If you ask most people from North-East other than Assam or maybe Manipur (since Sai media has started making movies their that follow bollywood format) they will not be interested in hindi movies and hindi telefilms.
So please stop dragging North east into this drama all the time.
And don’t say people from the East cause it makes you sound really silly.
A highly educated man, very much accomplished once decided to visit his village of childhood .He went to the riverside and saw the fishermen have been catching fish and resting on the bank same way when he was a child. Everybody paid attention to his presence except one little fisherman family engaged in their cooking, eating and playing with his kids, dozing in-between with the beautiful breeze of padma. He approached him and said “Mahji, if you keep one boat this amount you will make, if two this, if 200 ,then you will be rich like me >take vacations and will ENJOY LIFE” even with this sermon the fisherman kept dozing off and the little kids on his chest were fast asleep > it angered the guest ,so he called the fisherman loud” did you listen?” fisherman replied “yes, I heard you” so the Richman again said “ then, you will enjoy life like me, ok?” fisherman opened his eyes with amaze and asked the Richman” what duo u think I am doing right now?”
so please let us enjoy Music this site and enjoy life with my family!!
na mangye sona chandi , na mangye hiramoti na mangye anything of USA ,CANADA ,INDIA OR WORLD … I AM ENJOYING LIFE, EVRY BIT OF IT WITH MY FAMILY …VERY VERY HAPPY!!!
Darjeeling is miniscule in size and population when compared to the rest of West Bengal and people of Bengali origin.
???????????????
And in your other comments you state that you are aware about Darjeeling and have visited 4-5 times. You must be a real hypocrite to give blanket negative comments about Darjeeling people and culture. You claim not to be a racist but when you give comments particularly prejudiced ones about a a whole group of people you are behaving as one.
If have even met one person from Darjeeling you will know how helpful and hospitable they are.
I have visited there as well. Its a beautiful place and the people are great. I would never give blanket negative statements about people from that town.
AWEEOME , AWESOME and AWESOME and DEEDAAR DE WAs Unbelielavable! WHAT A rendition ? SHE IS THE BEST !! WHAT A A STRONG VOICE ! AISHWARUYA CAN’a EVEN COME CLOSE TO IT.LISTEN TO CRAZY KYA RE IT WAS WAS SO WEAK!
Sorry Doctor Biswas I won’t write anything like that anymore.
But others should also behave like a human.
Why these Gorkhas do not understand that I have nothing against Prakriti, to me she is good and that is why she is there in the competition but her gorkha supporters are using only foul languages. They are not realising the fact that even if someone will think to voting for Prikriti but after going through their comments nobody will vote for her. I said she should be taken to a good place, the gorkha blogger here they even do not know what I am referring to, there are lot of sangeet gharans in our country. Kolkata will be her nearest place, they can go to anywhere in India. I grew up in extreme NE of India so I know that even if you have talent you cannot really cultivate that due to lack of facilities.
Could it have been better if you could have personally communicated to Dr Biswas about your feelings etc for bengali culture ? I think you wrote something in Bangla and only people like me would understand, I guess it would be a good idea to have a separate personal communication in case the language is anything other than English or Hindi.
Anwesha is very good at singing Sunidhi numbers. Friday she sang Aankhiya na maar – didn’t miss a single beat and sang flawlessly and on Sat she sang Deedar de and did full justice to the song. It is such a difficult song to sing as well, definately the most difficult song of the night. She is beyond awesome! Her voice is also so very different to Sunidhi, it is sweeter and more fresh. I really liked both her Sunidhi renditions more than the original. No disrespect to Sunidhi, she is a great singer and I appreciate her vocal texture, but I prefer Anwesha’s voice alot more.
You are correct Darjeeling is in West Bengal and not in NE.Why people bring in such things its not because of geographical location rather it is because of the similar flora and fauna .I grew up in Arunachal Pradesh.All my school friends are from AP. Some of them were so talented I cannot describe , they were so melodious .There are cultural groups formed by government, they usually join there. Also few singers from AP they have gone to Guwahati and performed. But I will be very happy if they get reconization from all over India. The people of AP are also very good at sports. I have spent my childhood plus teenage there and I miss AP so much. I personally feel that Indian government should open a sports education center there especially for archery, volleyball, football and few more sports no one can beat them. May be by this time they have these facilities but it was not there earlier.
OK OK this is one of the 2 scenarios that might happen this week:
1;) Anwesha is out and Prakrithi and Aishwarya stay on!
2:) By now the VOI team would have got the vote count and know for a fact that Anwesha is out and declaring this would create controversy and hence they make it a 3 person finale! Gajman, hungry for money as he is, would highly go for this scenario, so that he can get the Bangla vote 2!!
But no matter what, Aishwarya was/is the Winner, whether she earns it or not!!
RON : DEFINTELY NO ITALIAN OR IRISH > RONALD REGAN (RON) ,SO GET YOUR INDIAN IDENTITY FIRST > THAT WILL NOT MAKE YOU ANGLO-SAXON> YOU ARE COOLIE >don’t bring stupid politics and personal attaks >then everybody will enjoy the show ! TWO THINGS WE AVOID >MAD DOGS AND IGNORNATS .

Aishwarya will win this competiton no doubt (whether she deserves it or not;-)
You can bet anything that Gajji and his crew will try to make it seem that Anwesha’s talent has suddenly taken a turn for the worse and justify Aishwarya’s victory that way. Just watch out for the judges comments on Anwesha’s performance this Friday.
It has all been pre-decided. This reality show is anything but real.
These BONG fanatics are REALLY REALLY too much. As long as these Bong fanatics don’t rise above state and language, West Bengal will continue to roll in the dumps.
I’m not saying all Bengalis are fanatics, I’m referring to the considerable portion of them who’re fanatics.
Anyway, this blog is converted into a BONG FANATIC CLUB where they can relieve their inferiority complex and frustrations.
Aishwarya’s fans have NEVER indulged in mud slinging against Anwesha or anyone else. Because, like Aish, we’re self confident. Anwesha suffers from acute inferiority complex (apart from inferiority singing in comparison to Aishwarya) and so do her fans
Wish all of the BONG fan(atic)s happy mud slinging
above
you are a person of inferior cultural upbringing, it seems. please grow up!! and do shed your inferiority complex. We all know here in pakistan anvesha is best.
Anvesha, all muslims are with you. We cannot support gujarati asihwarya because she belongs to a state that burnt muslims. Gujaratis are evil. and aishwarya is far worse singer then anvesha. she is on level with vyom, prakrit. even geetasri and sonia are better then her.
We vote online for you, anvesha. you are a true daughter of inida. and you are not coming in scary land nowadays!! Allah is with you.
sangeeta:
ekhaney anek prakar nichu starer lok eshechey.edeyar sai sabhtya pouchutye anek samoy lakbey > ami tomakey duti katha boli: pagla kukur aar agyani dhristo ei dui thekey sabdhan!!
(avoid>mad dog and ignorants)
Who the hell gives you right to write rascist comments like that? You are a typical frusterated fan who knows aishwarya is nowhere near the best anvesha.
if aishwarya had any genuine supporters, it would have been good. But her supporters ae just like her– fake, corrupt, FAT(headed)
Grow up, moron. Take out your frusteration somewhere else. Shreya and shaan, both bengalis, won filmfare awards in playback singing. Kishore kumar, the best singer of india, was a bengali.
Have you seen sharmila tagore in relaity show DHOOM MACHA LE? her grace, her upbringing? That is what you will neevr have.
have you seen rani mukherjee who is best actress of bollywood? have you heard of saryajit ray?
But of course, ignorant people like you are not aware of anything. YOU NEED A PSYCHIATRIST YOU RASCIST.
LIKE IT OR NOT, BENGALIS ARE THE BEST AND YOU CAN GO CRY OVER THAT AS MUCH AS YOU WANT. ALSO AISHWARYA IS ANOTHER PRODUCT OF LESS TALENT, MORE HYPE. just like you
Anonymous, i agree with you. aishwarya will win only because gajji is manipualting stuff.
or else she would not ven have come in top 5. I am sure she is not getting a single vote. i am from Mumbai and all people prefer anvesha’s singing.
anvesha we are with you. We will all defeatgajji and win.
Prakrit also was a nice girl. judges could not give ash madhyam even though they wanted to. So they transfered their frusteration on poor prakriti
when people write in hindi why don’t you call “hindi fanatics club”.
at least Bengali language brought “Gitanjali ” first Nobel in asia for Bengali.”jana mono” and “sonar Bangla” are two national anthem of india and Bangladesh .why not hindi ? SINCE HINDI MADE THE NATIONAL LANGUAGE OF INDIA ,WHOSE LITERARY RECOGNITION IN THE WORLD IS 0. BENGALI IS RECOGNISED BY UNESCO AS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD ,BECAUSE OF THE VAST LITERATURE THAT HAS ENRICHED WORLD LITERATURE.WHOLE OF INDIA TOGATHER COULD NOT MADE VISWA BHARATI.GET A NOBEL IN HINDI FIRST THEN OPEN YOUR MOUTH!!!!GET OSCAR (SATYAJIT RAY) IN HINDI CINEMA THEN OPEN YOUR BIG MOUTH AND CROW!!UNTIL THEN KEEP COMPLETELY QUITE!!
THESE ILLITERATES HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE,SIMPLE COMMONSENSE !!IF SOMEONE IS WRITING IN BENGALI IT’S OBVIOUS THAT IT’S NOT FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND NOT FOR YOU!!BENGALI IS NOT YOUR LEVEL EITHER > HINDI AND BENGALI ARE NOT THE SAME LEVEL AND WILL NEVER BE. THE TRUTH THAT INDIA HAS GOT TO ACCEPT.EARLIER IS BETTER.
I am not Bengali, yet I support Anwesha completely. In my opinion, she is the best talent and deserves to win. Btw, she was fantastic on both days. Her mastery over every genre has been proven time and again, what else is there?
Go Anwesha, we are all with you! You will definately make it to the final two and go on to win the competition with all our support!
For Serious – I roughly analysed the song “Jaane Kya Chahe Man” and found that the original composition (sung by Zubin) is on E Major Scale. Anwesha has sung this song on D Major Scale which is two semitones ( or a whole step) lower. I still feel she was having difficulty with the pitch. But her rendition of the “Alaap” (if at all it can be called so) at around 1:44-1:46 mins of the song was fabulous. She has added some extra notes that I think (not sure) were added by dual voices of Zubin when layered on top of each other in the original. Also I loved the start of the “Antara” i.e “Saghan Anchal …”.. the take off was too smooth since it falls on lower end of the scale. Also she had issue starting the Mukhda again from the Antara at around 2:40- 2:43 mins of the song. I felt she was uneasy with the song and had pitch issues for sure even though it was lowered by a whole step. Not sure what she was going through.
For Dr Biswas – As for your observation that Anwesha has a classical voice, I have slightly different opinion. I think she has a strong classical hold which is her strength but she knows how to modulate the voice and sing. For example, in the “Tauba Tauba” you may notice that Aishwarya has sung in a sweet tone whereas Anwesha’s vocal tone was different and more of Sufi (heavy bass oriented), Also in Deedar De she changed her tone to suit the song. I feel it is important to do that depending on the song. No doubt people like garbage numbers like that but she has to learn or should I say she knows to manipulate her voice and fit it to the occasion, that’s the mark of a singer. The same thing was done by Asha Bhonsle (of course under the baton of one and only ‘Pancham’). In the movie called “Jawani” she modulated her voice to sound like a 16 year old girl which was played by Neelam. There are other examples as well I guess I do not have them right on the top pf my head.
Personally I would want Anwesha to sing all kinds of song but those songs should have a ‘high’ level of difficulty that many cannot render and that she should or I would say she can comfortably render. The other thing that I have observed is , lately she is probably swaying too much during singing, at this stage she should be more focused since these are the last hours of the game. I have a fear that she may be voted out but I will keep my fingers crossed since I agree with Kunal/Shreya that out the three Aishwarya and Anwesha fit the top 2 positions. This is a competition where not only voice but Technical abilities should ideally be counted as well which are in plenty in these two kids.
INDIA IS BACKWARD BECAUSE WE HAVE TO EXPRESS IN THIS HINDI.WE PREFER ENGLISH THAN HINDI BECAUSE SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS AND NOMENCALTURE ARE INSIGNIFICANT AND WHEN OUR CHILDREN HAVE TO EXPRESS IN HINDI THAN BENGALI ,IT’S AN INSULT TO BENGALI ,NO HINDI WORD CAN EXPRESS WITH SAME THOUGHT(IT SOUNDS GHATIA IN HINDI).I HEARD HINDI RENDITION OF RABINDRA SANGEET ,I THOUGHT TAGORE WILL BE MOURNING IN GRAVE.SO SAD.
Anwesha doesn’t suffer from anything but a case of dire mistreatment from some fans of other contestants. She is innocent (as well as other kids) in everything that is happening backstage, discussion forums, blogs..whatever. There is no need to drag in the race card either and imply that her fans are only of Bengali origin (even if they are, who cares?) we are all Indians first! We should be proud of the Indian talent that has been brought forward by this show.
In case you do not get to open the video, type “Randy Pausch Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams” in search and you would get the video. I am sure many of you have seen this video before.
There is section in his lecture where he talks “How Important Critics” are in a person’s life. I somehow agree with him, depends on what each individual deciphers. I have a slight disagreement when people term it as “Child Abuse”, I understood that they probably have an understanding that they may get to hear anything (except for bad mouthing that did not happen for sure).
As for Prakriti I liked her honesty and I am sure she realises that she isn’t in the same league as Aishwarya and Anwesha. This realisation if profound will probably take her to new heights. She must learn classical until then she will not have a great grip over songs.
Let’s not strike each other with foul language and try to get to a common understanding of problems/performances in gentle manner.
This is an one side show.All juges lik’s Anwesha, Prakrithi, and Aishwariya but no body like Sonia and vyom that why the Sonia eleminated and the next elemination singer may be Vyom Kapoor. God bless you Vyom and Sonia Sharma.While the juges eleminate the Sonia but she is not eleminate in her singing life.
THANKS TO URDU>( GULZAR AND JAVED AKHTAR ,SALIM KHAN MOSTLY MUSLIMS WHOSE MOTHER TONGUE IS URDU HAVE BEEN ENGAGED IN SCRIPT WRITING IN BOLLYWOOD TO UPGRADE HINDI WITH URDU MIX) OTHER WISE HINDI CINEMA WILL BE EXPRESSED IN GHATIA HINDI.NO HINDI CAN MATCH WITH URDU NEITHER IN PHONATION NOR IN MEANINGFUL THOUGHTS.
URDU:”LASKAR KI JABAN ,PALAEH AUR POSHE SHAHAZADI KI BOLI MEYN.PHARSI KI EK EK ALFAZ KHUBSURAT KI SATH YEAH NAJUK JABAN KI ZUMLA MEY JUREH HUEY HAIN” THIS IS WAS NEVER FOR PEASANT CLASS WHEREAS HINDI IS A PEASANT CLASS LANGUAGE >>THEN BECAME THE COMMON MAN’S LANGUAGE.
You seem to have quite a bit of musical knowledge. Since you’ve mentioned some of Anwesha’s technical strong points, I’m curious, what do you think are Aishwarya’s vocal/technical strengths?
I’ve observed that lately her control of sur and taal has improved. And she has also learnt to vibrate her voice (we saw this with “karle pyar karle” and “man mohana”). She has also learnt to control her higher notes – as in, she goes in falsetto mode alot less than she used to. But what else? Do you think, techinically she is on par with Anwesha.
My opinion is that, Anwesha has more variety, control (from the beginning) and range in her voice than Aishwarya. I also think she is better at modulating her voice and putting variations into a song and also is better at singing classical songs than Aishwarya. While Aishwarya’s rendition of man mohana was very good, I felt she stopped too many times during the song and ruined the flow of it, atleast for me.
ref: avi>
Jayanta sarkar ,a noted classical Guru. (he was disciple of pandit ajoy chakraborty , i have never seen in my life any better knowlegeable person in Music)
The reason anwesha will still remain in that genre because she is 14yrs.Her voice will go through change with her estrogenic effect. This is the best time to etch the classical notes in her vocal cords.Quality of voice gets the fine tuned with the “rewaj” . by the time she will be 17 yrs she will be ready for the world.I wish her good health.she is getting sick with this long tour.she is lucky that both parents are GOOD PARENTS,VERY SUPPOTIVE.I WISH HER GOOD HEALTH .SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL CHILD,VERY WELL MANNERED,SOFT CHILD. I am trying to get ANUKHSHA (daughter of pandit ravi shankar) to notice her.Anuksha is doing a program”food for hunger, indian children” she went to kolkata.ANUKHSA is crazy about indian talents., a wonderful didi for Anwesha to emulate.
rakriti can win. That will make Prakriti, her family , friends & supporters so happy. She is in top 3 so at least she has a chance to come in top 2 & may be she can become winner.
For sure, Anwesha & Ashwariya will be very disappointed along with their supporters.
Fans of all three contestants are waiting to see the result.
For Dr. Biswas – I am not sure if I understand your point, all I was trying to convey is I think Anwesha should attempt all varities possible irrespective of her current age. She already has a massive classical base and should continue her “Riyaz”. Singing other varities will increase her bandwidth and help her in the future, I am sure she can do it with ease since she knows very well how to jump notes (which is what Classical Music is mostly about). Opening up to different genres at an early age will help her in the implementation of all the classical base she has, she already has a lot of ground work done, ofcourse there is no end to it.
Hello,
No matter what the result of this reality show is there is one thing that one needs to answer is whose voice would you like to listen to in the future albums. Whose albums would you buy ?
Aishwarya has shown tremendous improvement during the last few episodes and she has a very good voice. If she undergoes good training in the next few years especially in high notes and treble, she is here to stay. She will have to learn about breathing as well. She seemed to be out of breath in a few songs. But she has shown during the course of the show that she is a fast learner and she is a very extrovert person which makes her a very likeable character.
But what to say about Anwesha…… she is supreme talent. Every rendition is like .. wow. Is this the original singer or her in a reality show ? The mere fact that you have to think and relisten to see for mistakes makes her a winner. Be it classical, remix, fast numbers even offbeat number like “Haan maine chookar dekha hai” or Ila Arun number she has carried each and every song with elan. She does have problems with western like songs especially with pronounciation at times as pointed out by kunal ganjawalla but she will learn that very easily as she has great control over her breathing and voice.
I am sure there will be differences between fans and as most fight it out over who will go to top 2 or win the final the end of the show will make you think again ‘whose albums would you like to buy in the future?’.
For me the answer is simple ……… Anwesha Dutta Gupta.
As far as Prakriti is concerned i think she knows herself where she lies in the competition as far as the talent is concerned. And the fact that she knows that and she accepts that on the program is real guts by this a young kid. This shows that she has been brought about in the right way by her parents. To know that and accept that is a great quality.
Whether she learns Indian Classical music and develops the control over her sweet voice or she is lost to the oblivion after this show depends on how she goes about doing it for the next few years. She is very young and has a lot of time on her side and i am sure by interacting with kids who have undergone training she realises what she needs to learn.
Votes or no votes ….. chhote ustaad or not …… She has a long way to get to the goal of becoming a playback singer.
EVEN TODAY :WHEN YOU HEAR LATAMANGESH KAR >THE MELODY TAKES ITS BASE FROM DIN NATH MANGESH KAR ,HER FATHER , A NOTED CLASSICAL SINGER IN KARNATIC MUSIC.EXCEPT SANDHYA MUKHERJEE VERY FEW HAVE THAT MUSICAL RAGA IN THEIR VOICE.ACTUALLY INDIAN RAGAS ARE THE BUILDING BLOCK FOR GOOD MUSIC.I DON’T KNOW EVERYTHING IN MUSIC BUT WHAT I READ AND HEAR FROM PANDITS.EVEN IN WESTERN STYLE ,DIANA ROSS ,WHITNEY HOUSTON ARE WELL TRAINED CLASSICAL . WHITNEY IS A MINDBLOWING ARTIST (ONE OF MY FAVPRITE),JULIO IGLESIAS (ONE OF MY MOST FAV),DIONNE WARICK> THERE ARE MANY OTHERS THAT DO NOT REMEBER NOW .BLACK MUSCIANS HAVE LEFT A LEGACY IN US MUSIC INDUSTRY IS INDELIBLE.
US MUSIC IS ECONOMICALLY VIABLE AND IS NOT A SUBSIDIARY TO HOLLYWOOD,UNLIKE INDIAN MUSIC INDUSTRY.
I DON’T THINK A TALENT LIKE THAT SHOULD FOLLOW MUSICAL CAREER TO SING ONLY FOR BOLLYWOOD ,UNFORTUNATELY FOR POVERTY IN INDIA ,EVERY CHILD IS RUNNING FOR MONEY.A BEAUTIFUL CHILD LIKE THAT IS A GOD’S GIFT.MY PERSONAL VIEW: WORLD SHOULD BE OYSTER.DO YOU THINK WHAT RAVI SHANKAR TO DAY ,IF HE WOULD NOT HAVE COME OUT OF INDIA? NEVER.WHAT SATYAJIT RAY is TO DAY,90% NON BENGALI IN THIS FORUM DOESN’T KNOW.PHD student in electronics,(passed from uc berkeley) asked “sir,why is Boson> BOSE-EINSTEIN >PHOTONS HAVE BEEN NAMED AS BOSON>J.C.BOSE. I have no words.
HERE IN THIS FORUM,DEVKISHINJI,IS A KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON IN MUSIC AND HE LIVES IN BOMBAY,KNOWS EVRYTHING IN BOLLYWOOD.SO HE IS A BETTER PERSON TO ANSWER QUESTIONS TO HINDI MUSIC AND FILM MUSICS. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR HIS INPUT IN THIS BLOG.
THANKS
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT?!! EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW THE DIFFERENCES IN ONE PARTICULAR SONG. LET THEM CHOOSE ONE CLASSICAL, ONE ROCK AND SO ON. JUST FOR THE CHANGE TO AVOID CONTRAVERSIS
Two “MADHYAMS” from two judges in BHOPAL has apparently brought about elimination of PRAKRITI and this cute and highly cultured little angel very well knows that even 90% votes of her supporters cannot save her at JAIPUR as two judges have declared her as “failed”!
Unless there is last minute change /revision in format of the show allowing all the three performers to participate in grand finale at Mumbai on 5th April the Friday’s performance could be the last appearance for Prakriti.
The entire World salutes this brave child of BHARAT.Throughout this programme young PRAKRITI HAS WEATHERED all storms and if there is any award for the “BEST BEHAVIOUR” it will undoubtedly go to
P R A K R I T I.
MAY THE ALMIGHTY SHOWER HIS CHOICEST BLESSINGS UPON THIS SWEET ANGEL CALLED PRAKRITI!
All the judges have become totally biased. They just want both aishwarya and anwesha to be in finals. because of that sole reason they abused the performance of prakruthi. The judges have highlightned that by commenting. I don’t think anwesha has done awesome on 15th march episode, despite, she was given all sartaj sarvotham’s. I used to admire voi a lot in the begining. Now if i look at the way the episodes are going, I lost all the impression. all the reality shows are becoming biased these days .
Ghajendr ji, i think u have to do something.
I agree with ur desc abt aish and anwesha. Prakruthi has longway to go when compared to both aish and anwesha. But I am not impressed with the way the judges highlightened their comments on 15h march episode.
I admire anwesha for her sheer talent. I wish she wld win VOI .
Gajendrabhai hereafter please do not ask the participants to sing difficult songs to prove their talent . LATA MANGESHKAR THE LIVING LEGEND NEVER ASKED COMPOSERS TO COMPOSE DIFFICULT SONGS TO PROVE HER TALENT.The power lies in vocal chords and not in noisy pop number.
Whenever a performer renders a complicated /adulterated tune all the judges start showering praises .Instead they should say ” (besura) mushkil gaana aap ne achhi tarah se gaya aapne to usko char chand laga diya aur zyaada besura bana diya!” wah jeete raho aap mere film main gaoge ek (besura) gana.
You have analyzed it really well. Many a times, Anwesha sings better than the original. On a number of occasions, she has sung songs which were originally sung by more than one person – for example Ga Re Man (which I think was sung by two male and two female singers), Morni Baga mein (by Lata Mangeshkar and Ila) etc. Singing such songs requires complete voice control, which Anwesha has done superbly.
The songs of LATA MANGESHKAR WHICH FETCHED HER FILMFARE AWARDS:
1956-ANNOUNCED AS BEST SONG OF THE YEAR:RASIK BALMA—FILM-CHORI CHORI.LATAJI REFUSED TO SING THIS SONG LIVE AT FILMFARE FUNCTION AS AWARD WAS IN BEST SONG CATEGORY AND NOT BEST SINGER CATEGORY.
1958-AAJA RE PARDESI (MADHUMATI)
1962-KAHIN DEEP JALE KAHIN DIL(BEES SAAL BAAD) 1965TUMHI MERE MANDIR TUMHI MERI POOJA TUMHI DEVTA HO–(KHANDAN)
1969-AAP MUJHE ACHHE LAGNE LAGE(JEENE KI RAAH)
ALL DIFFICULT SONGS IS IT NOT?
ALL PRESENT COMPOSERS LEARN THE ART OM COMPOSING SONGS FIRST BEFORE COMMENTING :KITNA MUSHQIL GAANA GAYA-AAP MERI FILM MAIN GAANA!
RANAJOY MEANS THE VICTORIOUS IN BATTLE> NOT RONOJOY >IT HAS NO MEANING EXCEPT IDIOTIC EXPRESSION TO CLAIM ANGLO-SAXON IDENTITY>CONFUSED LIKE THE MAN WITHOUT MEANING >HINGLISH.

drakbiswas i am her uncle actually her name spells as ANWESHA since she was born in Bombay her birth certificate was spelt such. You r right that the name should be Annesha in Bangla.

RONEN SEN: Ambassador of India who inexhaustibly spearheaded the nuclear deal with USA, Govt. of India recalled Mr.sen for his remark “headless chicken” for giving to INDIAN MPs who do not understand even the word “nuclear” of nuclear technology. > This is the situation we are in! some of the reflection of intellectual flash is also seen here how dimwit is this generation in terms of language skill, Music ,world politics, history …science and advancement ,forget philosophy what to expect out of poor psycho social development >a man like Devkishinji ,demonstrates far more analytical bends than these new generations. Sad indeed!
Such distortions are made deliberately , Least people would know that he is Bengali.Dr.Tapan de sarkar, the brilliant brain in Pentagon is written in Indian journal as Thavan desarkar
FOR ANAND SHARMA/ANNU KAPPOO-THE USTADS OF CHHOTE USTAD SHOW:
WHY NOT SELECT SONG OF THE YEAR 1943 FOR GRAND FINALE
BINA MADHURA MADHURA KACHHOO BHOL—FROM FILM “RAM -RAJYA”?THIS SONG HAD BEEN PICTURISED ON RANJANA IN THE FILM WITH REAL VEENA IN HAND.
I AM SURE NONE OF THE PRESENT MUSIC DIRECTORS HAS HEARD THIS SONG. EVEN THE DIRECTOR GAJENDRA SINGH MIGHT NOT HAVE HEARD THIS PURE CLASSICAL-BASED COMPOSITION OF SHANKAR RAO VYAS
ANWESHA AND AISHWARYA BOTH CAN BRING BACK THE MEMMORIES OF FORTIES ALIVE WITH THEIR SENSATIONAL RENDITION OF THIS RARE CLASSIC OF “RAM RAJYA” OF LATE DIRECTOR VIJAY BHATT FATHER OF MAHESH BHATT THE CONTEMPORARY FILM MAKER.
ANAND SHARMA’S FATHER ASKARAN SHARMA A GREAT EXPONENT OF CLASSICAL SINGING CAN ASSIST THE SINGERS IN THEIR REHEARSALS.
Surprising! How come Anwesha in Bangla should be written “Annesha”. Totally incorrect! In bengali, it’s “n”+”b” (from “anweshan”). So, I strongly feel, the correct spelling is “Anwesha” as per Bangla.
Btw, I’m a super huge fan of Anwesha and to all folks like me in USA, you can vote for her from http://indya.com on Saturdays and Sundays your time.
Anwesha – you are the best!! You have to win! otherwise meaning of music will be lost! Also, you have to win in the years to come! Strongly pray and hope that you become a huge singing star! Also, I like your simplicity and the fact that you are never “acting” for votes. You don’t have to! your songs tell it all. Some other contestant, who are not so good with singing needs to talk about “main ladki hu poori hindustan-ki” bla bla bla.. but you don’t have to!
You are the best!!! Keep rocking!
Ranen is spelt as Ronen, Ranjay as RONJOY, Calcutta as KOLKATA and Dacca as DHAKA to stay true to the phonetics. May be its beyond your comprehension.You seem to be a very argumentative person and I’m not gonna waste anymore time on your STUPID COMMENTS.Stick to discussing MUSIC o.k.?
i am flabbagusted,i think you should participate in the jury of this Musical competition. please let us know :
1.when is this rajasthan event
2.april 5 final event.
3.how much is the awward price?
thanks
I have one thing to say after watching the last episode is that ANWESHA has no competiton! Just listen to her voice modulation in her 2 songs. In “Deedar de’ she sounds so strong and the lower notes are so difficult- perfectly done.Most singers go besura in lower notes. While in ‘kaanta laga’ she sounds so sweet – again perfect. She is the most versatile singer who can sing any kind of songs with perfection and ease. Anwesha you are definitely the CHHOTE USTAAD for me. True music lovers please vote for ANWESHA!
KIND ATTN DRAKBISWAS:
TWO EPISODES OF VOI CHHOTE USTAD SHOW ARE LIKELY TO BE RECORDED EITHER ON MONDAY OR TUESDAY AT JAIPUR.I SHALL TRY TO GET IN TOUCH WITH MY FRIENDS AT JAIPUR AND GET THE DETAILS . HOWEVER I PESONALLY FEEL THAT LET THE VIEWERS WATCH JAIPUR EPISODES ON THEIR TV SETS. I HAVE GOT YOUR E-MAIL ID.
THE GRAND FINALES AT MUMBAI ARE GENERALLY ARRANGED AT ANDHERI SPORT COMPLEX .IT IS 20 MNTS. DRIVE FROM OUR RESIDENCE IN KANDIVALI-WEST.
REGARDING PRIZE/CONTRACT FOR THE WINNER NO AMOUNT HAS BEEN SPECIFIED BUT SOME SORT OF CONTRACT WITH THE CHANNEL STAR PLUS/MUSIC COMPANY IS THERE.THE DETAILS WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN THE SHOW.
The results are in and we know who the top 2 contestants are. But I think people should wait and find out for themselves I do not want to spoil the suspense!
Me and SERIOUS realized it long ago that there is no point arguing with Mr Biswas. If you want to keep on arguing with him you will have to fall down to his low level which i dont think is a good idea in this blogsite of nice people. He is just a frustrated “bengali american” guy and not an indian who is shedding frystration of so many years on this blogsite. i have no clue what he is doing in this website for voice of india where contestants sing hindi songs. if hindi is not a language of his level he should better go to voice of bengal.
So my suggestion to you is to concentrate on music and just ignore his comments. ignoring his comments is the best option for our health.
Hi Dr. Biswas – Don’t you think Ron (whoever he is) has a right to spell it according to his choice ? It’s his name right ? He isn’t messing with somebody else’s name.. do you see an issue there ?
honestly speaking..i never say bad ever in this forum…but the last episode was pathetic…not because of the contestant..the judges were very much partial….if they are here to give their own verdict openly criticising Prakriti..then there is no differnce between general public and them..In case,they are not happy,,they should point out things that Prakriti needs to improvise rather than openly criticising her..Friends,I AM NOT FROM ASSAM..BUT ORISSA and presently in Singapore..so plz don’t think me putting my views to support somebody..I do agree Aishwarya and Anwesha are better to Prakriti..but the attitude of the judges need to be reviewed and rectified.
Referring to some comments above that says “Hindi is a Substandard Language”, is it ethical then to watch a show thats then aired in the same language where people sing in that language ? Can any language be called as substandard ? May be in the past some people from a particular region did well but that perhaps does not mean people from other region are not good.
charles, don’t you think Prikriti needs to go, however, people like you are supporting a non signer in teh musical show. As far as Kunal is concerned he proved himself in few songs – no one can even touch his style. Shreya is better than anyone you name in the film industry. I love Prakriti as a model but as a singer Nope. Other two girls are the best.
i am a regular viewer of chote ustad. Although i am from nepal i always liked asworya and vyom as per singing. I do liked prakriti a lot as she is so sweet but she is not as the same level as others in singing i do accept that.
but its a competition and everybody is fighting. so prakriti has the right to fight it too. the judges can give her mark as they think she deserves. but they have no right to humiliate her on the stage specially a child. Kunal i used to like his voice and used to hear him a lot. But you know what his nature had disappointed me so much i hate his songs and threw all his cds. A celebrity needs more than talent, a good nature which he dont have. Kunal and Shreya may be good singers but they are not good human beings. How can they be so cruel on a 12 year child.
How can they make her cry before she sang her second song.They demoralised her.
This is not a reality show this is a pre planned show. To make money playing with a childs tear is bad Mr Gajji, Mr Kunal and Ms Shreya.. By the way why shreya and kunal always give same points to all contestant. Why we need an extra Judge ..
Hi Dr. Biswas – May be I am not as ‘Intelligent’ as you are, I cannot co-relate my comments posted on “2008-03-18 18:59:19″ with the undp Human Development site you have referred to. From what I understand as per statistics (from survey) India ranks 128th in terms of Human Development considering a number of parameters. Do you see anything there that talks about ‘Hindi’ language being substandard. Can you please highlight those in case I have missed. My whole call was that you seemed to say “Hindi is a substandard language” but then you also watch the VOI show that is aired in the same language, if you hate and underestimate the language so much why watch it ? I mean thats how I understand. May be you have different opinion.
SIDHARTHA SHANKAR RAY, fixed the khalistan.INDIRA TOOK THE CREDIT. NO POWER ON EARTH COULD FIX IT WITHOUT USA ,IT WAS RAY AS AN AMBASSADOR IN USA FIXED THAT. INDIRA GANDHI WAS KICKED OUT IN 1962 BY PRESIDENT NIXON,CALLING HER “WITCH” from white house.
indians have short memory.
i would like to see how sonia Gandhi can tackle china and GORKHA LAND.she is interested the dimwit boy ,Rahul gandhi on the throne.
CHINA KNOWS HOW MUCH TESTOSTERONE INDIANS PRODUCE.CHINA KNOWS EVERYTHING.
WHAT THE HECK IS GORKHALAND?…IS IT ANOTHER NAME FOR NEPAL?…BUT NEPAL IS A HINDU COUNTRY WHY WILL IT BE CALLED GORKHALAND?…WHY IS PRAKRITI SO REGIONALLY MOTIVATED AND KEEPS ON ASKING VOTE FROM GORKHALAND WHICH DOESN’T EVEN EXIST…HONESTLY I COULDN’T FIND ANYTHING CALLED GORKHALAND ON THE WORLD ATLAS…SHE SHOULD HAVE ASKED VOTE FROM PEOPLE OF HER STATE BENGAL AND ALSO FROM PEOPLE OF INDIA AND ABROAD…HOWEVER AS A SINGER PRAKRITI HAS A LONG WAY TO GO BEFORE SHE CAN MATCH THE STANDARD OF ANWESHA OR EVEN AISHWARIYA WHO’S CLOSELY BEHIND ANWESHA…JUDGES WERE ALWAYS STRAIGHTFORWARD TO THE CONTESTANTS WHEN IT CAME TO CRITICIZING…THEY DIDN’T SPARE AREEB KHAN, YYOM OR RIGVED WHEN THESE SINGERS WERE NOT UP TO THE MARK…IT’S A REALITY SHOW THEREFORE THEY HAVE TO BE TRUTHFUL IN THEIR COMMENTS…I DON’T THINK THE JUDGES PASSED ANY UNJUST COMMENT AGAINST PRAKRITI AND SHE WAS NOT TREATED ANY DIFFERENT THAN AREEB, VYOM OR RIGVED…WHEN A CANDIDATE COMES TO THIS LEVEL OF A COMPETITION AND DOSEN’T PERFORM TO MATCH THAT LEVEL IT’S A DISGRACE TO THE SHOW AS WELL…
Devkishin & Drakbiswas are true fan of Anwesha.
Drakbiswas started criticizing judges once he heard Pritam saying ” Kachua & Khargosh” . What an irony, Kunal & Shreya were rude to Prakriti in so many episodes before 15 march,08 show.
Where is the link for UNESCO ? Please let us know. Does UNESCO talk about Hindi being a substandard language or being responsible for any degradation of the current Education system in India ?

READ SOME PART OF THE ANSWER DOWN & UP.
WHY WATCH IT? DO WE HAVE A CHOICE? NATIONAL LANGUAGE :A LANGUAGE THAT HAS NO LITERARY STRENGTH NOR ANY SCIENTIFIC DEPTH.ONLY KEEP STEALING FROM OTHERS.GOVT. OF INDIA IS THE BIGGEST PLAGIARIST. YOU COULD EVEN ASK THAT ? I CAN’T BELIEVE!!!
Where is the link for UNESCO ? Please let us know. Does UNESCO talk about Hindi being a substandard language or being responsible for any degradation of the current Education system in India ?
YOUR RESEARCH AND FIND OUT WHY INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM IS BACKWARD.HINDI IS THE AMIN CAUSE!
WHERE IS UNESCOLINK ?? DO YOU NEED A SPOON ??
So you think it is the Language “Hindi” that is the cause of Hindi Belt’s Backwardness ? Language is important for a civilization but I think you cannot rate or say that a language is substandard. Hindi just like Bangla is derived from Sanskrit. Can you tell me what Bangla Language has that Hindi does not ? Have you read Hindi Sahityas by Munshi Premchand,Mahadevi Verma,Makhanlal Chaturvedi, Jayashankar Prasad or Poetries by Harivansh Rai Bachchan for example ? Do you see anything that they lack or anything that they could not convey in their subject? Isn’t English derived from Spanish which majority of the Mexicans speak ? I am not sure if speaking spanish is the cause of some mexican kids not able to cope up with their studies etc.
May be your common sense and the common sense of others do not match but that does not mean you have a better one ‘coz their is no universal judgement.
CRITICISM IN A CONTEST BY JUDGES CAN NO WAY BE CATEGORIZED AS BEING RUDE..THAT’S WHAT THE JUDGES ARE MEANT FOR AND THEY MUST KEEP ON DOING THAT…EVERY BAD PERFORMER ON THIS STAGE HAVE RECEIVED THE SAME KIND OF TREATMENT AS PRAKRITI DID WHEN JUDGES DID NOT LIKE THEIR PERFORMANCES…PRAKRITI WAS NOT TREATED ANY DIFFERENTLY THAN OTHERS BY EITHER KUNAL OR SHREYA…WHEN SOMEONE ATTEND SCHOOL AND PERFORM MISERABLY THEY GET REPRIMANDED BY THE TEACHER…NO ONE CAN BLAME THE TEACHER FOR THAT TREATMENT…STUDENT OR A CONTESTANT HAS TO BE UP TO THE MARK TO RECEIVE APPRECIATION FROM TEACHERS OR JUDGES…APPRECIATION CANNOT BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED…
A BENGALI DOES NOT DESERVE TO WIN A REALITY SHOW NOR DOES A PUNJABI ONLY THE BEST DESERVES TO WIN…COINCIDENTALLY OF LATE THE BEST SINGING TALENTS ARE EMERGING FROM BENGAL ORIGIN…NEVERTHELESS THEY ARE ALL INDIANS…BEING ABROAD ALL I CARE ABOUT IS GOOD MUSIC AND GREAT INDIAN MUSICAL TALENTS…I DONT GIVE A SQUAT WHETHER THEY ARE BENGALIS OR PUNJABIS OR BHOPALIS AS LONG THEY CAN SING AS GOOD AS ANEEK, ANWESHA, SANCHITA, SMITA NANDI, IRFAN, ABHAS OR AMIR HAFEEZ…AS A MATTER OF FACT I DONT EVEN CARE WHETHER HE/ SHE IS INNOCENT OR NOT…SO CALLED INNOCENT ISMEET PROMISED TO DONATE THE SECOND CAR HE WON TO ONE OF THE FELLOW CONTESTANT WHO WAS NOT LUCKY ENOUGH TO WIN ANY…WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT PROMISE?…DID HE DONATE THAT CAR TO IRFAN OR TOSHI?…PEOPLE PLEASE FOCUS ON TALENT NOT INNOCENCE…IF INNOCENCE IS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU, YOU MAY LOOK FOR IT IN MORE APPROPRIATE PLACES BUT NOT IN A MUSIC TALENT CONTEST…
Yep I need a spoon ‘coz you say ‘Hindi’ is a substandard language, talk about UNESCO and post a link to UNDP ? What logic is that ? THE UNDP link does not state anything about HINDI. Either you should not have posted a link to UNDP or not talked about UNESCOor have co-related with substantial written evidence that ‘HINDI’ is a substandard language. You are the only one who says HINDI is a substandard language and nowhere else it has been documented as a ‘Substandard’ Language. You say Hindi is a substandard language because you have not read any Hindi Sahityas and have read many Bangla Literatures, what logic is that ? Without reading or understanding of the language in totality how can you conclude generically ? Just because some people got Noble Prize ? Has the person who got Noble prize said Hindi is a Substandard Language ?
Man I guess may be I am younger and less matured than you but you smell of over pride at this matured age (that actually surprises me). I do not have any personal grudge on you for sure just that we have a difference of opinion of somethings. Also the “WAY” you write is not very gentle you seem to be lousy and loud and convince others that you are right. May be you can try to be sober.

Yes Serious – I think I will take your advice from now onwards and answer some of the other queries posted by other respected members posted in reference to my comments. By the way did you see and analyse my comment dated “2008-03-18 04:23:46″ above.. do you have any comments ? I am sure we can get into good discussion by being open minded and acceptable.. let’s try to move in that direction, probably we will learn few other things that way.
I told Sangeeta not to write anything in Bangla because many of other members or bloggers would not comprehend as they do not speak the language ? What’s wrong in that ? This is not a Bangla Forum right ? If out of 100 people only 10 speak Bangla and they post something in Bangla to the entire forum does it make sense ? A common language (here I guess it would be English) should “IDEALLY” be the medium of expressing your thoughts, ofcourse you can express you thoughts in your native language personally to ther other person who speaks the same language. That’s all was my concern. I felt that was the proper way and followed by 99% of the other forums anywhere in the world. Sangeeta understood the same replied in an extremely polite way, that showed she has a “thinking” mind and decent demeanour.
Thevagabondheart – I do agree with your comments above. Contrustive Criticism is must which is I think what happened in this case. I guess this show is not only about voice (that all three have) it is “also” about technical capabilities (that only Aishwarya and Anwesha have in plenty and much much more than Prakriti). I think prakriti realises this and if she honestly works on it who knows she may even be greatest singing thing to happen in India. At this moment, she is not in the same league as Aishwarya and Anwesha I guess. I think musically learned people will agree to that she lack technicalilties in her singing. But anyways she has a long long way to go and it is just the start and not an end.

@ AVI
This Biswas guy thinks I’m a coolie from India who has lost his INDIAN IDENTITY and trying to be an Anglo -Saxon! What a Hypocrite! I wonder WHO really lost his Indian identity!
AVI
You really seem to have good knowlege in music. I liked your analysis of Jaane kya chahe mann – I think Anwesha sounded slightl;y uncomfortable with the pitch because she was not too familiar with that song but I could be wrong. I have learnt from a reliable source that She had no control on song selection lately when another contestant had some control.
But like drc I would like to know your opinion about Aishwarya’s vocal/technical abilities.
Personally I think Anwesha has a very strong voice which she can modulate according to the need and that in my opinion is the trademark of a real good singer. Aish has improved alot recently and she is good but not outstanding. And technically I think Anwesha is far better. Please let us know your opinion. Thanks

Are the contestants given songs by the director, or do they choose their own songs? This is a question that is bugging me.Also, when you say “another contestant had some control” , who is this “another contestant”?
It’s definitely Gajji my dear. I think gajji never thought Anwesha will be this good.Judges are pawns in his hand. He is making sure Aish sounds good by giving Anwesha garbage numbers to sing recently where as Aish gets to sing popular ones. It’s all pre planned. I feel sorry for Anwesha, she really deserved to win. She should have tried her luck in SAREGAMAPA where she would have won EASILY.This program is a FARCE!
Happy
Mr Devikishin is a staunch fan of Aishwarya. Go check out his comments in aish’s blog. Just click on Aish’s pix on this site and you’ll see. DRAKBISWAS on the otherhand is totally in love with himself! He really doesn’t care about anybody else but himself.Sorry to say he is making a fool of himself! ENJOY!!!!

i completely agree with you on mr biswas. you gave words to my feelings!!!!! he is in complete love with himself and doesnt care about what anyone else thinks!!!!
Buddy this Biswas guy thinks I’m a coolie from India who has lost his INDIAN IDENTITY and trying to be an Anglo -Saxon! What a Hypocrite! I wonder WHO really lost his Indian identity!
I think there is a very narrow line of division between Aishwarya and Anwesha and it is kind of difficult to determine who outshines the other. They both have extreme solid grasp of Hindustani Classical. None of them are I guess ‘Carnatic’ trained (I may be wrong, it’s just my understanding from whatever classical stuff they sing) which is a different league. Aishwarya has a more rounded voice with a nice soft tone. Anwesha on the other hand has sharp edgy voice with considerable treble tone. Different voices at times suit different genres or songs of the same genres depending on the composition. So they may both fit the same in some song and then they may not in some other. Because of this roundedness in Aishwarya’s voice ‘murkiyaans’ are ‘sometimes’ not blatant, meaning the notes slip “quickly” from one to the other like say a “more of a tangent to the circle” and not a “Chord to the cirle”, if I were to draw an analogy but this also I guess sometimes becomes song specific. On the other hand you may notice in the case of Anwesha, Murkiyaans are clean more often and give you the feel that the she is able to walk on the notes and does not slip from one to the other. Both of them I have feeling have breathing issues but I guess that will eventually go as they mature. Aishwarya’s roundedness sometimes score very heavily specially for songs that are soft and romantic in nature. On the other hand Anwesha’s voice perfectly fits high octave bhajans, jazzy numbers (like oo-Lala), Item Numbers (as they are referred to) and may be specific romantic numbers as well since she can modulate her voice. I haven’t seen Aishwarya doing a voice modulation (If you seen such please let me know)which I think is a sharp contrast between the two.If you notice the start of ‘Tauba Tauba’ song that the duo sang when Emran Hashmi was the guest, you will see that Anwesha’s voice superceded Aishwarya’s vocals in the begining, again that may just be the fact that they sang it that way but the usually Anwesha’s vocals are louder than Aishwarya’s. Also I feel Aishwarya may not have the same range as Anwesha meaning she may not be able to reach higher octaves as much as Anwesha can. For me both of them are winners, it is very difficult for me to pick one of them may be because I am not that musically literate to find more nuances that can demarcate them on a greater level.
For your kind inforamtion Mr biswas name is “Anoushka Shankar” and not Anuksha. you have written anuksha so many times. Its Anoushka or some may pronounce Anushka
I love both kids: Aiswyria and Anwesha
they are both talented kids.i have requested many times if the awward could be given to both but that will never be.The way prakriti was humilated , only heartless people could do such behavior. They could give her low marks but there was no need to say all those to a kid(she is a decent human being).if i were there in bhopal INDIA ,there could be no further program.I WOULD RAISE THE ROOF*** i could never allow THAT ABUSE in front of me.I WAS AMAZED TO SEE NOT A SINGLE PERSON PROTESTED*** SHOCKING*** INDIAN MORAL IS SO LOW!
so everything is disappointment for me and i know the result !!AISWYRIA WILL BE WINNER AND I WLL SEE ANWESHA WILL BE CRYING HER HEART OUT ! (I WOULD HAVE TAKEN A SHOT GUN & SHOOT !!!–IS A FEELING) !so i can only feel very sad about whole thing.I COULD NEVER SEE CHILDREN CRYING LIKE THAT DRIVES ME INSANE**
Excellent analysis. Though I have no background in classical music and i havent learned music at all but i always get a feeling that anvesha has much bigger range than aishwarya. aishwarya’s voice is very suitable for classical and romantic songs but i think anvesha excels in those types of songs too. I personaly would give an edge to Anvehsa. though my opinion is just as someone who listens to indian music a lot and I am not an expert so anybody can differ. This is just my humble opinion.
Thank you again for your insightful comments. it is really nice to have someone like you around who really has nice knowledge of music.
Parveen – By the way I am just like you and not a musical genius. It was just my observation. Keep writing may be we can observe more and enhance our knowledge together.
Can’t even spell her name right can you YOU WEIRDO.ITS SPELLED AISHWARYA ok? Because you’re so much into youself can’t even spell AWARD RIGHT let alone anything else. I am an Anwesha fan But I feel sorry for you,such a FAKE!
Great analysis Avi!
Thank you so much for taking the time to dissect the difference between these two for all us crazy, curious, musically-retarded folk:-)
Your analysis simply backs up my original claim that Anwesha indeed has the ability to modulate her voice (unlike Aish), has more range and is suited to sing songs of all genres (also her harkats are far clearer) – and though Aishwarya has improved tremendously over the course of this show, she is still no where near Anwesha, in terms of technical prowess!
Hi drc – I ‘do not’ think you,parveen,serious,sunilllbasha,Avinash and many others here are musically retarded, that you understand good music is a lot, how many people have that ? You definitely have good ears and thats why you know who are the good ones in the show… Look at some of the above posts,people just vote and wrote comments because they are fanatics and not listeners, you guys are many light years ahead of them for sure.
MISS CORRECTION,INDRANI:
SINCE YOU ARE CORRECTING PEOPLE’S NAME SPELL >
LET ME SEE HOW MUCH CORRECT YOU ARE EVEN IN THE TWO SENTENCES OF HATE MESSAGE:
Can’t even spell her name right can you YOU WEIRDO.>> CAN’T EVEN SPELL HER NAME CORRECT ; CAN YOU,WEIRDO?
Because you’re so much into youself can’t even spell AWARD RIGHT let alone anything else.>>BECAUSE, YOU ARE SO MUCH INTO YOURSELF, YOU CAN’T EVEN SPELL AWARD CORRECTLY,LET ALONE ANYTHING ELSE.
I am an Anwesha fan But I feel sorry for you,such a FAKE!>>
I AM ANSEWA’S FAN BUT I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU,A FAKE!
“THE MORE MONKEY CLIMBS UP ,THE MORE IT EXPOSES ITSELF” HOW DO YOU KNOW PEOPLE WHO ARE FAKE OR WHO ARE REAL? LOOK LIKE ,YOU HAVE LOTS OF EXPERIENCE !!!
THESE ARE NOT CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM>INDRANI.
THIS BLOG IS NOT FOR PERSONAL ATTACKS >THE END RESULT WILL BE WHAT IS THERE, WHETHER PEOPLE LIKE IT OR NOT.>I TOLD MY VIEWS TO HONOR BOTH BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH TALENTED.I CAN’T DIFFERENTIATE WHO IS BETTER.OTHERS MAY HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS.
FOR DEAR RONNIE:
I AM FAN OF EVERYONE. JUST GO TO INDIVIDUAL BLOGS OF ANWESHA PRAKRITI VYOM AND OF COURSE AISHWARYA AND READ MY ENCOURAGING COMMENTS. I CANNOT CRITICISE YOUNG CHILDREN AS IT IS NOT IN MY BLOOD . I ALWAYS SUPPORT THE WEAK THE UNDER DOG. I NEVER USE FOUL LANGUAGE AS SO MANY INTELLECTUALS AND HIGHLY EDUCATED PERSONS HAVE BEEN DOING HERE.
I HIT BACK WITH ALL THE FORCE AT MY COMMAND WHEN SOMEONE TRIES TO PULL MY LEG WITHOUT ANY VALID REASON.
FOR ME THE MUSIC WHICH IS IN SUR AND TOUCHES YOUR SOUL IS GOOD MUSIC THE REST IS ALL NOISE WHICH IF YOU LISTEN TO FOR LONG PERIOD IT MAY WELL AFFECT YOUR HEALTH ADVERSELY .IT IS REPORTED THAT COWS GIVE MORE MILK WHEN THEY ARE EXPOSED TO GOOD MUSIC . IF YOU MAKE COWS LISTEN TO ADULTERATED POP NUMBERS THEY WILL STOP GIVING YOU ANY MILK.
I STILL MAINTAIN THAT THE DUET QAWAALI FROM FILM MUGHAL-E-AZAM SUNG BY ANWESHA AND AISHWARYA IS THE BEST PIECE IN THE ENTIRE PROGRAMME OF VOI SO FAR. ANWESHA WAS SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN AISHWARYA BUT CERTAINLY NOT A CLEAR WINNER . PERSONNALY I AM NOT IN A POSITION TO ASSERT THAT BETWEEN ANWESHA AND AISHWARYA WHO IS MORE TALENTED OR BETTER PERFORMER . BOTH HAVE THEIR INDIVIDUAL STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES .THE ONE WHO CLICKS ON DAY OF JUDGEMENT WILL RUN AWAY WITH TITLE OF CHHOTE USTAD . HOWEVER, PROMISING FUTURE LIES AHEAD FOR BOTH THESE CHARMING AND TALENTED SINGERS . HAD I BEEN IN FILMS I WOULD HAVE GIVEN THEM BREAK AS SINGING STARS.
one thing I just want to add … i.e. expression… I think aish is bit better in this case … I dont know the definition of expression but I do feel… ( if you listen to ” yeh kaha aa gaye hum… ” in one part it is … ” hui aur bhi moolayem …” when lataji sings “moolayem” automatically u understand what is meaning of moolayem….)
But avi thanx for giving this beautiful blog… thanx dr..
THANK YOU DEVJI<
YOU ARE MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE IN MUSIC BUT WE(MY FAMILY) DON’T HAVE THAT.WE HAVE SIMPLE VIEW.
I TOLD MY VIEWS TO HONOR BOTH BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH TALENTED.I CAN’T DIFFERENTIATE WHO IS BETTER.WHATEVER WILL BE THE OUTCOME ,WE HAVE TO ACCEPT IT.
I HIGHLY APPRECIATE THE EXPERTISE /KNOWLEDGE OF MANY INDIVIDUALS ABOUT INDIAN MUSIC EXPRESSED HEREINABOVE.IT IS INDEED HEARTENNING TO KNOW THAT MANY INDIANS WHO HAVE SETTLED ABROAD ARE TAKING KEEN INTEREST IN GAJENDRA SINGH’S SHOW IN INDIA. THIS PROGRAMME HAS GENERATED LOT OF INTEREST AND EXCITEMENT ALL OVER THE WORLD.
I REQUEST ALL MUSIC LOVERS/ COMMENTATORS PLEASE, AS FOR AS POSSIBLE, DESIST FROM PERSONAL ATTACKS AS IT NOT ONLY GENERATES ILL FEELINGS AGAINST OUR OWN COUNTRYMEN BUT ALSO CONSUMES YOUR VALUABLE TIME IN THROWING MUD AT EACH OTHER . YOU ARE ALL HIGHLY QUALIFIED CULTURED INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE EXCELLED IN THEIR OWN FIELD/VOCATION. AS A FELLOW INDIAN I AM PROUD OF YOU.
LOVE BEGETS LOVE AND HATRED BEGETS HATRED.
MANY THANKS TO:DRAKBISWAS,AVI, DRC, SANGEETHA, PARVEEN, AVINASH,SERIOUS,INDRANI,JACK RONNIE ,ARINDAM,THEVAGABONDHEART,HAPPY,MANOJ VIEWE ETC.
YOU ALL ARE GREAT INDIANS .
DRAKBISWAS:ONLY IMPARTIAL AND HIGHLY CULTURED INDIVIDUAL CAN EXPRESS HIS OPINION LIKE THAT .DESPITE BEING A PROUD BENGALI YOU WERE NEVER PARTIAL TO ANWESHA.YOU ALWAYS EXPRESSED IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS THAT ANWESHA AND AISHWARYA WERE EQUALLY TALENTED AND I AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY.
why Dam judges hat prakriti as viewers are loving to her. the judges have racial profile in their mind. But I live Abhas. Prakriti is just 12 yrs old. what you do more expect that what she is going now. The other two singer are excellent but judges seem more hars to Prakriti.
It would be interesting to watch if the final 2 would be allowed to select their own songs, if so, which songs they would select!
For Aishwarya, I would suggest to select songs that have a hint of naughtiness in them, as I feel she really enjoys singing those songs and that shows on her face while she is singing.
For Anwesha, I would suggest to select songs are 1.) popular among mass folks (she seldom has sung songs which are popular tunes, when compared to Aishwarya) 2.) a slightly classical based ones (her voice seriously outshines Aishwarya’s in these numbers).
Hopefully, there would be a round of Qawalli, where they musically taunt each other, it would be fun to watch (Aishwarya’s over-action and Anwesha being cool as a cucumber!) – Aishwarya fans, bring it on , I am ready to defend my views!
And yes, siree, I will put up my choice of songs that I would love to see these kids sing sometime later!
And yes, I hope neither of these kids sings songs like “Tujhse naraz nahi Zindagi” from Masoom, as this song is one in a handful of song whose lyrics outshines the singer’s singing ability, meaning no matter who and how anyone sings this song, the depth the lyrics (wordings) of this song makes anyone a singer!
I, for one, thought that Amanat’s rendition of this song during the semi-finals of SaReGaMaPa was good but was overrated! Anyways, this is another story and hope I haven’t opened another “hidden” can of worms!
“I HIGHLY APPRECIATE THE EXPERTISE /KNOWLEDGE OF MANY INDIVIDUALS ABOUT INDIAN MUSIC EXPRESSED HEREINABOVE.IT IS INDEED HEARTENNING TO KNOW THAT MANY INDIANS WHO HAVE SETTLED ABROAD ARE TAKING KEEN INTEREST IN GAJENDRA SINGH’S SHOW IN INDIA.

I propose that they have the following rounds in the grand finale.
1) classical 2)film song 3)folk 4)duet and finally 5)a judges choice round.
These were the rounds that Gajendra Singh had in his Saregamapa long time back. Having Aishwaraya and Anwesha sing different songs could make competetion more interesting.Also, multiple rounds always give a contestant a chance to make up.
I disgree with few of the post here.
The Hindi belt covers the following Indian states
Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab.
For all these states Hindi is the main language written in Devangiri script but they have regional language too. Hindi is our National language too. So we must pay respect. Urdu the state language of Jammu and Kashmir is spoken by more than 28 million people in India.. Urdu is written in the Persio – Arabic script and contains many words from the Persian language, this language is very rich by itself.
As few of us are proud of our regional language as it is very rich there is also please do not under estimate Hindi language as substandard. I am providing only few names who are related to Hindi literature
Amir Khusro in the “Hindavi” dialect.
Kabir a major figure of the bhakti movement.
Surdas author of, Sur Sagar etc.
Mirabai author of Mira Padavali etc.
Goswami Tulsidas author of Rmacharitamanas
Keshavdas author of Rasikpriya etc.
Bihari became famous by writing Satasai (Seven Hundred Verses).
Guru Gobind Singh author of Bichitra Natak etc.
Bharatendu Harishchandra, whose works are compiled in Bharatendu Granthavali
Devaki Nandan Khatri author of Chandrakanta etc.
Munshi Premchandra considered one of the greatest Hindi novelists of all time
Maithili Sharan Gupta pioneer of khardiboli poetry
Suryakant Tripathi Nirala
Sumitranandan Pant
Hazariprasad Dwivedi
Mahadevi Varma, one of the “four pillars” of the Chhayavada movement
Ramdhari Singh Dinkar a nationalist poet
Nagarjun
Vishnu Prabhakar
Bhisham Sahni author of Tamas
By watching Hindi movies you cannot actually equalize the “Sahitya part”. Film is made for common men’s so that the producer can get more money , those who never even went to school they can also understand. Not all Hindi films are inclined to literature. It will be wrong to judge Hindi literature with the Hindi films.
Poverty,-Well its not only in Hindi Belt it is in all over India. Even in Bengal so we need money to reform. Many people are not happy with Nehru family and few politicians associated that time ,even I am not happy with them they are the root cause of dividing Bengal., Bengali is spoken by nearly 200 million people in the world – in some part of West Bengal , Tripura and in Bangladesh. It developed as a language in the 13th century and is the official state language of West Bengal. But if you see Tamil is the oldest Indian and very rich language too.
All my teachers were from Hindi Belt and whatever little I am today I am just becuase of them. Many of my school mates are doing well in life , they are in the field of Medicine, Engineering , into Management and they are there all across the world today and taught by the same teachers.
There have been many posts on how judges should deal with kids and I would not repeat them. But,a perfect example of a good judge/guest is Ustad Ghulam Ali Khan. Remember the episode in January where he was the guest.Could you imagine the king of Ghazals addressing each contestant as Chhote Ustad? That is exactly waht he was doing. Remember how he pointed out Areebs’s mistake and his problem of breath without hurting him. All the kids sang their hearts out in that episode and to everyone Ustadji is a perfect example of how a judge/guest should deal with kids to bring the best out of them.
I ON BEHALF OF THOUSANDS OF FANS OF GAJENDRA SINGH’S MUSIC REALITY SHOW APPEAL TO ACE DIRECTOR AND HIS COMPETENT ASSISTANTS TO PLEASE DO NOT SACRIFICE THE QUALITY OF CONTENT OF GRAND FINALE AT THE ALTER OF POMP AND GRANDEUR.
THE LAST TWO FINALES AT MUMBAI PROVED TO BE DAMP SQUIB .THE QUALITY OF SONGS SELECTED FOR FINALS WAS NOTHING BUT TRASH.
PLEASE BE VERY VERY CAREFUL IN SELECTING SONGS FOR HIGHLY TALENTED SINGING SENSATIONS OF THE FUTURE. THE ENTIRE WORLD WOULD LOVE TO SEE REAL COMPETITION BETWEEN TWO SMALL GIANTS.
Ha Ha.The former is confirmed, but the latter “rumor” might turn into a fact in the future who knows and was made up just for fun and hope you or others took it that way!
Devkishinji,
With due respect , I don’t think there is anything wrong in having a favorite.Usually every music lover has a favorite but to be fan of everyone? That I don’t understand. We are no musical experts! Nobody is in a position to judge who’s better but we still try to go with our heart, thats all! But I fully agree that the one who clicks on judgement day will be the “Chhote Ustaad”. Good luck to both of them because they definitely belong in top 2. Hope, they sing really good classical and soulful songs. May the better singer win and I sincerely hope the show is not prefixed. And I must admit you NEVER use FOUL language!Thanks.

in my whole life, i have never ever insulted humanity that is our Ramkrishna Mission’s teaching and vivekanda’s teaching that i follow.I am not religious but i have no prejudice and ignorance.To me ANWESHA ,AISWARYA and PRAKRITI ARE THE SAME AS A KID but as a talent to judge >prakriti is not at the level of other two. i would never treat a child like that. i would have ecncouraged the child to pursue more in such a way that it would never hurt her pride.Between Anwesha and aiswarya : both are equally talented > no one is better than the other >otherwise, it will do injustice to talent.
SOMETIMES I ILLUSTRATE THE WEAKNESS OR NEGATIVE IMAGES OF INDIA OR INDIANS .IT’S NOT THAT I HATE INDIA OR MY OWN PEOPLE ,IT’S TO BRING AWARENESS TO REACH GREATER HEIGHT BECAUSE I LOVE THEM. WHEN WE MADE “ASHA” IN BERKELEY CAMPUS ,i was using many hours to contribute in planning >ASHA GIVES EDUCATION TO POOR CHILDREN ALL OVER INDIA AND IT ALSO TAKES CARE OF HEALTH AND IMMUNISATION.TO-DAY “ASHA” IS FULLY ESTABLISHED IN INDIA. I FEEL PROUD.
TO ME ASHA IS MY CHILD ,MY DREAM and LOVE> EVERY INDIAN CHILD IS AS PRECIOUS TO ME AS MY OWN CHILD.MANY HOURS I SPEND ON HUMANITARIAN WORKS FOR INDIA >WHETHER WRITING TO PARLAMENTARIANS TO SENDING MEDICINE OR TO PEOPLE WHO COULD CHANGE PEOPLES’ LIFE FROM POVERTY,DISEASE AND IGNORANCE.IT’S A BATTLE> BUT I AM KASHTRYA, TO FIGHT FOR JUSTICE IS MY RELIGION.
Avi
I think in the grand finale the contestants should be given difficult classical songs to sing to see their true worth!As AVI suggested I think “Hamein Tumse Pyar Kitna” by Parveen Sultana is an EXCELLENT choice. “Raina beeti jaaye” sung by Lata Mangeshkar from ‘Amar Prem’ is one of my favorites and ‘Baiyan na Dharo’ (don’t remember the name of the film , sorry)is also a good one to sing in the grand finale in my humble opinion.

(Comments wont nest below this level)
Completely agree wih you bro. This is the kind of song that everybody starts crying listening to the lyrics and it doesn’t matter who sings!! Hope nobody sings it in our VOI finale..
To gaj ji & stuff:
I have sent a letter (Request to GAJJI)to Gajji:appeal to gajJi here :
to bring ccomplete change in the system of this Musical competetion from Grading,elimination to score Board ,where Justice & decency prevail to talents.where no prejudice, public humilation and belittling are completely eradicated.A competent committee of external judges can decide their talent and give their own verdict. public voting needs to be eliminated as it brings regionalism and mercy to deserved candidates.Musical Genre needs to be separately created for each special voice quality.english dubbing and talented Musical Gurus abroad could be included to bring it to international platform ,appealing to children all over the world like world Disney.The commercial undertakings and satellite distributions will clearly stop pilferage and generate funds for this to be financially viable.
Musical Genre needs to be separately created for each special voice quality.
what do i mean here?
chotte ustaad : in classical
chotte ustaad: in Bhajan
chotte ustaad: in instrumental music (new thought)
chotte ustaad :in folk music
chotte ustaad: in Ghazals
I WOULD APPEAL TO EVERY ONE, TO DONATE TO ASHA OR ADOPT A CHILD IN INDIA.PLEASE GIVE YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT TO A CHILD WHO NEEDS YOU. http://www.ashanet.org/
THANK YOU
N.B. GAJ JI ,PLEASE DONATE TO ASHA.
THIS IS A NONPROFIT ORGANISATION.HONEST AND TRUTHFUL .I CAN GURANTEE.
WE are all for classical , gazal and bhajan rounnds ,but what I don’t understand is the instrumental Music round!This is a vocal music competetion right?I just donn’t understand!
WE are all for classical , gazal and bhajan rounnds ,but what I don’t understand is the instrumental Music round!This is a vocal music competetion right?I just donn’t understand!
To bring new concept to music competition as a whole>these are suggestions not only to vocal music alone but to the whole music.this is not for this present competition but for future endavor.
if instrumental music is not encouraged >where future ALLAH RAKHA,ZAKIR HUSSAIN,RAVI SHNANKR ,V VALSARA,AMAJAD ALI KHAN WOULD COME FROM ? VIOLIN ,FLUTE, SAXAPHONE ,SAROD ..All will disappear as new talents would not come to replace the old .More over, not every child is gifted with vocal cords ,they could have gift for instrumental music. who will play the musical accompaniment?
thanks
you cannot compel others to choose your food and your clothes and your styles and your level of understanding
CAN YOU ? so leave others to their choices of life.Do not try to see the world with your understanding .you and me know very little of this world.
You called ‘Serious’ names like MAD DOG and IGNORANT among lots of other things ( Like JARK, (JERK)for no reason whatsoever. You called RON a DESI COOLIE with no Indian identity. And all his fault was he spelt his name as RONJOY instead of RANAJAY so NEVER SAY YOU NEVER ever insulted HUMANITY O.K.?
Humiliating kids are not the way to judges these young children.
If judges are judging kids show then they do need to know what to say & how to say to these children. Everyone knows that all these contestants are not at the same level of singing.Very disappointing to see these professional singers acting like this.
WE contribute heavily to ASHA anyway all the time. HERE in USA we attended all their programs and contributed very generously to ASHA. MY kids are heavily involved in ASHA but they never heard your name – HOW COME?? My question is why are you bringing up ASHA all of a sudden in this forum? If you wanted to promote ASHA you could have done it a long time ago right? DO NOT USE ASHA FOR YOUR OWN GAIN O.K.?THANKS!
personal attacks ,i have always avoided but personal attacks have been the norm here,which i brought attention to moderator ,webmaster all the time and few emails. unfortunately that needs to be dealt with >when i deal ignorants i have no mercy beacuse i know indians very well who do not hesitate to kill a child from their woombs to any age.they are ignorants and brutal .they have to be elimnated >THEY HAVE NO HUMANITY ,THEY HAVE ANIMALITY > I MUST KILL THAT ANIMALITY > WE WORSHIP DURGA TO KILL ASHURA,THE ASHUVA I PROTECT ,PROTEST AND PRESERVE FOR THE CHILDREN AND THEIR RIGHTS .AGAIN I HAVE NO MERCY FOR IGNORANTS AND BIGOTS BECAUSE THEY ARE ANIMALS IN HUMAN FORMS.
@serious – I cannot make the decision and I am kind of equivocal on this.. I would be happy if they are declared joint winners unless there is a major difference on their performance on that day if the winner is to decided based on the performance on the D-Day.
Sorry… I am just blunt headed now on this one..can’t make any decision..
DRAKBISWAS
PERSONAL ATTACKS!!!
YOU ARE THE ONE WHO PERSONALLY ATTACKED AVI, Serious, RON , Parveen and I can go on and on O.K.? You CAN’T DENY THAT. WE ALL WITNESSED IT IN THIS FORUM, SO DON’T LIE. NO MATTER WHAT YOU BABBLE ABOUT, THE TRUTH IS YOU ARE A MORON AND DO NOT TRY TO HIDE BEHIND YOUR PSEUDO INTELLECTUAL ARMOR.!ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! STOP BLOGGING IN THIS SITE AND STOP BORING US TO DEATH!!
Hi Jack – you did bring up a valid point that I missed. “Expression” is a must have! Both of them have I guess. As for Anwesha, you can watch her “oo la la” performance and speifically look for the portion where she says “Dhanak” in the antara and many more areas. Those small things are hallmark of a singer in totality.
Overall thanks you brought up a valid point indeed!

thanks your for involvement. WHEN YOU DONATE TO ASHA, IT’S NO BODY’S PERSONAL GAIN. many people do not know ASHA in india.
This forum and blog will be ending in april 5 and to let others aware of this project in india. AGAIN IT’S NOT MY PERSONAL GAIN TO PROMOTE ASHA.
This Blog has been contaminated by Bigots,ignorants and hate mongers .these people have made this blog impossible for others to join.they are festing with their useless arguments and nonsense and 90% have no business with true musical interests.Moderator has gone and left this place wide open for the nuisance.

Serious – One more song ‘classical or semi classical’ as one may call it is “Piay Baanwari’ from the movie ‘Angoor’ that is sung by asha bhonsle and enacted by Deepti Naval on stage. I guess that song has quite some jumps here and there. That could also fit in.. anyways we all know the list endless. The song just came to my mind …
Sangeeta – Thanks for the enlightening on ‘Hindi’ thing. I think majority of us here (except for one) agree that ‘Hindi’ is not a ‘Substandard Language.
My choice of songs for these 2 amazingly god-gifted kids are:
Old(Gold) songs:
1.) Ajeeb dastaan hai yeh – Lata
2.) Ghungroo ki tarah – Kishore Da
3.) Rim jhim girE sawaan – Kishore Da
4.) Man tarapat Hari darshan – Rafi Saab
5.) Kuhu kuhu bolE koyalliya (Would love to see Poonam sing it LIVE again – truly a classical live performance by her)
Contemporary Songs:
1.) Lagi Lagi
2.) Radha kaisE na jallE
aahhh, just cannot think of any contemporary songs right now…maybe later!
Guess you didn’t get the point bro…deserved to be chhote ustaad competition but did not deserve to be in final three…or even in final sixas a matter of fact…Good she was in action through 30 episodes but was that because of her talent?…I dont think so bro…
wow! dug through youtube and found this contestant Ronkini’s rendition of Kuhu Kuhu..simply breathtaking:
youtube.com/watch?v=LgyMmUBCtS0&feature=related
She missed the beat at one place, but overall amazing performance!!
Does anyone have any updates on this contestant? Did she get a break in Bollywood? Sorry for being ignoramus!
One song in your list that you may want to relook is “Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Yeh”. Its a very simple song composed in F Major Scale and hovers around B flat Major and G Minor chords. Not much that I can see from renditions perpective looking at it from a competition standpoint. No Doubt I love this number that inspired from a western number.
One song that I may (if you give a chance) would propose to replace song 1 in your list is “Kya Jaanoo Sajan” sung by Lata for the Movie “Bahaaron Ke Sapne”. This song I believe has lot of jumping notes and probably can be a measure of a singer for his or her ability to jump notes randomly in a scale.
Hey Avi,
I am not aware of the scales or chords, just know that whenever I hear this song, it makes me happy and I just wanted to hear it from these kids , especially the change from a low/normal pitch to a mildly higher pitch in the anthara..excuse me if I killed the technical music lingo !
Also, come on bud, who am I to give you a “chance”, afterall this is an open forum…OK, maybe for majority of us at least….kidding!
I would just be happy if you or anyone else would add on to the list songs of their choice and I get to know of songs that I have failed to hear in my short life so far!
A few more to the list are:
“Baharon phool barsaon” – Rafi Saab
“Suraj hua Madham” – Sonu
“Bada natkat hai re” – Lata
“Saanja dallE” – Suresh
“SaavrE” – Nusrat Saab
“Rootna jaana tumsE kaoon tho” – Kumar Sanu
Grapes are sour and USA is “bourjuah”
but i see them in evry indian’s wishlist>including Marxist,comrade Joyti basu >made sure that son(chandan basu) and daughter live in London and total asset of chandan Basu is aprox.$3 billions(disclosed),a parallel underground economy is 5 times as much of indian economy (by ecnomic survey of india)
PARADOX INDEED! vs naipaul wrote India: A Wounded Civilization (1977)and An Area of Darkness (1964) :: is so true!!
500 millions below the povertyline and illiterate,indians have total apathy!
Anwesha sang Kuhu Kuhu bole koellia in SareGama Juniors (correct me if I got the name of the program wrong) in Zee Bangla and I have heard from my friends that she was awesome.
Wow people have osme amazing choices. I would just like to point out one small thing. we can just discuss these songs for our satisfaction and knowledge of some great songs. beleive me nobody is gonna listen to what we say and they will make the contestants sing the songs which are commercial success for present generation to make the show more glamorous. this is also partly because grande finale will not have much effect on who will be the winner. It is possible that in the episodes before grande finale they might make them sing classical songs. But again i think its totally upto judges and the director. and who will judge them on such great classical numbers??? I think shreya is the only one who is equipped to do that. Kunal himself cannot sing a classical song forget about judging. Pritam I dont know if he has in depth knowledge of classical music or not. I hope he has.
Again I am very happy that people are discussing some great oldies and some new classic songs. But dont expect this discussion to make any impact on the show!!!
I would also like to add a few new songs which according to me are difficult songs:
1. Dheere jalna from movie Paheli- Sonu Nigam
2. Baawri Piya ki from movie Baabul- Sonu
3. Bairi piya from Devdaas – Shreya
Thank you every one for great inputs and hapy blogging.
Guys…I was shocked to see some 400+ comments!! Dont you guys have any work to do? You guys are not going to get even a penny by spending your precious time in watching such programs and writing comments on them. Guys, come to your senses and starting doing something better in life!!!
“Something better in life” hmmm…something like posting the 439th comment?? Trados, from your post I assume you have no passion for music, if so, this is not the right place for you dude! Buh Bye!
Anwesha and Aishwarya had both previously sung “kuhu kuhu bole koyalia” and were both said to be awesome. Now if only someone would upload their performances, we’ll finally get to decide who is better.
It seems that the final is going to be one helluva contest.
But if the said categories are applied classical, ghazals, bhajans… it is no doubt that Anwesha will go miles ahead in her performances. Despite that will she get the votes who knows.
While if you apply the naughty numbers, romantic songs i think Aishwarya will be the winner. And to catch Aishwarya in terms of votes Anwesha supporters will have to pull their socks and vote like there is no tomorrow.
You can see the popularity of Aishwarya by the number of fan sites in Orkut as well as the number of members it has. While though most believe that Anwesha is definitely a better singer in most categories except may be a few, she lacks the support that others enjoy.
Fighting here and hurling abuses against each other is just not what i expected from people here in this site. We have to appreciate that may be since a long time we have a real contest on our hands. Who wins is upto the public. No matter how the contestants perform in the final…..i dont think many people are going to change alliances and vote for the opposite person. As most have made up their minds……. Two contest start now…!!!!
One between Anwesha and Aishwarya and the other between their contestants.
My vote is for Anwesha for consistent and versatile performances all through the competition no matter how she performs in the final.
No matter what you say Shreya no one sang more variety than Anwesha did. She sang folk, classical, classic film songs, remixes and you name it…she sang everything to unforeseen perfection. Nice try Shreya!
No one can touch these many hearts singing without mouth open. We have our ears Mr. Gajendra…may be you need to open your heart and ears…Another baloney comment from SVOI!
Shreya said Anwesha sings high pitch notes through her nose. Man…what was Shreya smoking before the show! I think Shreya was talking high pitch through her other significant hole.
If Gajendra Singh wants to make 5th April Finale A SHOW TO REMEMBER then he should invite his old colleague Sonu Nigam to co-host the show in Mumbai.
After Sonu Nigam left Saregamapa show due to his playback commitments the classical content slowly and gradually was replaced by pop music in Gajendra’s reality show.
Shaan started singing his own songs, mostly pop, as he was neither comfortable with old classical songs nor he was fluent with Hindi.Whenever he selected an old song he did full justice to it .The following old songs sung by Shaan stand out for their unique flavour:
1.Aja tujko pukare mere geet re—(GEET)
2.Seene main sulagte hain armaan—(TARAANA)
3.Jhilmil sitaron ka aangan hoga—(a rajshri film)
4.Zindagi khwaab hai —(JAAGTE RAHO)
Without classical songs the finale will be meaningless as both finalists are trained classical singers and their true standard, class and competence could be evaluated only when they render atleast two classical numbers each.GAJENDRA SINGH WAKE UP UNLESS YOU WANT ANOTHOR COLOSSAL FLOP GRAND FINALE AFTER THE LAST SHOW PRESIDED BY MELODY QUEEN LATA MANGESHKAR.
Prakrit Giri had a good voice quality. She was equal to aishwarya if one takes into account that prakrti was younger, had no training and aishwarya was trained. despite this, there was very little difference in singing ability.
I cannot understand how despite having more fans anvesha gets less votes? tric k of producer again? and bengalis do vote a lot, esp in case of aneek we saw. Why won’t they vote for equally talented anvesha?
just watch live performance of mohammed rafi singing ‘baharo phool barsao—”at shankar-jaikishan night at babourne stadium mumbai on you tube. just type mohammed rafi songs and click search.my comments on this song were posted 2 months back . i had attended this s-j nite with my friends. just notice young jaikishan ,a left hander, prompting tabla player to play tabla slowly at a particular point . shankar is the other composer on the stage.
I have heard both singers AISHWARYA and ANVESHA. I feel ANVESHA outshines ASIHWARY by a HUGE margin. here’s why–
1.Aishwarya has a good voice quality which DISGUISES the fact that she often slips bltantly in sur. Becuase she has a mellow voice, she can hide it. However ANVESHA has a sharp, sweet, strong voice which cannot hide slips. And thankfully there are hardly ever any errors!
2. AISHWARYA ‘s weakest performances– mera piya ghar aaya, crazy kiya re, awware bhavre expose her limitations in reaching high notes. She often becomes nasal like her mentor Alka yagnik which is a serious problem. the shrill tendecy is never there in anvesha’s voice which is clear to a fault.
3.ASH is more hype, less substance. she always has things on a silver platter. hope not thsi time. anvesha on the other hand has such technical precision she is a professional already. very rarely do singers have such control over their voices.
Go, Anu- you will win
Aishwarya and Anwesha are both good. Anwesha can sing any difficult song and as noted above somewhere – she sings every note cleary vs. Aishwarya slips over notes. Hence aishwarya’s alaps sound smoother. may be because she cannot sing every note clearly or take alaps as they are. also since her voice is softer, she sounds good but anwesha sings to perfection. Probably she enjoys every note of music hence sings it clearly to indicate that she has understood what note it is. Aishwarya probably won’t take so much effort and sings what sounds like original but not exactly. Aishwarya does not have high range. Probably Anwesha should have sung songs like manmohna or albela sajan, and people would have liked her better. It is still difficult to say who is better between two. But since Aishwarya belies more on showing, she doesn’t take much effort to sing song to perfection -and that may not mean she cannot learn to be technically good as well – but Aishwarya does loose sur – so whether that will or should be considered in final results – only great singers like Lataji, Ashaji can tell – but the final should include classical – with similar songs to both of them – otherwise judging still difficult. public voting should really be removed.
Also, probably reason why Aishwarya does not sing to perfection – meaning she appears like she skips notes as well – reason could be – either she cannot sing like and also that it would make her sound sharper. Which is why since Anwesha sings every note and sings in high pitch, she probably sounds sharper.
Late entry Sheel. Where were you expert ? So many experts logging on to this bloG have been scratching their heads to find out the better TALENT between Aishwarya and Anwesha. Anyway you appear to have solved their problem or(?) whether you have added to confusion with your analysis.GOD bless you.
Parveen sultana’s “Hame tum se pyar kitna—” from film “kudrat” is a classic.A few more classics may be added to this song eg. thumri, ghazal, bhajan , pop,etc sung by different artistes for finals at Mumbai.
As in the past all eliminated participants are likely to get a chance to perform at the Finale.It will be more appropriate if the two Finalists are given at least 3/4 songs each to sing in Final Contest.
In the past live orchestra used to perform at all mega-finals but lately pre-recorded tracks accompany performers.
I personally feel that if such finals are held in closed auditorium with full orchestra the effect will be electrifying.
Even if the final is arranged at Andheri Sports Complex, live orchestra must accompany the performances to maintain high standard of this programme.
About more than a decade ago I had attended live Nadeem-Shravan Nite at the same ground. There was live orchestra of about 25 musicians and almost all the top playback singers performed at that show .I was accompanied by my daughter and we were sitting in first row.We enjoyed listening to melodius compositions of the Duo.
Gajendra singh/star plus must arrange Grand Finale in grand manner making it the SHOW to remember . Such shows are watched by millions of music lovers in all the five continents and therefore should be arranged in appropriate manner for better effect.
COME ON STAR PLUS YOU CAN DO THAT.GAJENDRA SINGH IS A GREAT MASTER IN THIS ART AS HE HAS ARRANGED SUCH PROGRAMMES IN UK USA ALSO.
MASALA KIA HAI?
when i cannot understand any difference, i asked evrybody in my family the difference between anwesha and aiswyria>they don’t see any difference in their singing talent except two different voice QUALITY.These two kids are equally talented. some songs may suit one better than other but equally deserving.
when satyajit Ray’s film festival takes place in sanfrancisco ,the 90% audience are whites, many film critics,film directors and dignitaries.what they see in black white pictures of RAY, whereas they are not interested in bombay pictures ,new colorful ,full of music ,dance ,drama> only these AMERICANS AND DIGNITARIES KNOW! FEW indians are very much frustrated here; why so many Directors making so many films in bombay are not noticed??.They often ask why they gave him the OSCAR and what is there in satyajit ray film that they wow!”eh kia hai..MASALA KIA HAI” I DON’T KNOW MASALA KIA HAI : only MASALA that i can say, they must see the ART and TALENT in ray’s film which were made with RS50 thousands to max $1 lac budget(where Most Hindi films even at that time were over 15crores> he was the photographer,director,music director etc with his full creativity >it was difficult to be appreciated even in Bengal except educated class,(west Bengal is 50% Bengali and rest is bangla-hindi khichri>east Bengal is 100% bengali) no body understood it >FOR the rest of india it WAS and still IS “EH KIA HAI??” MANY BOMBAY DIRECTORS AND PRODUCERS RECENTLY WENT TO BRITISH ,FRECH AND BERLIN film festivals TO SEE IF ANYTHING COULD BE BAGGED, THEY STILL SMILE IN THIER SLEEVES; WHY THE WEST IS NOT NOTICING? (EVEN INVITING FEW HOLLYWOOD STARS TO BOMBAY !!)>IT WAS SAID CANDIDLY BY MR.BACCAHN AND SRK AND ALSO MR.YASH RAJ AT BAFTA AND BERLIN FILM FESTIVALS.indian films are made with even rs 80-100crores .so MASALA KIA HAI?

‘kehna hai kya’ from the movie Bombay (just came to my mind) is a good one too. Also “kya janoon sajan’ is a beatiful composition which I would like to hear Anwesha or Aish sing. I never heard the original but heard Kavita Krishnamurthy’s and Nihira Joshi’s version and loved it.
Wow ! I am glad to see a lot of people writing stuff related to SVOI and Music (except for one or two ‘Extraterrestrial’ stuff …). Great going .. Hope we cross 500 mark soon with solid writings relevant to the show and music only.
The poetry in reference to Musical results:
the english traslation to the Bengali verse:
Rathajaytra festival is taking place in pomp and peasantry.
the devotees are paying respect by bowing and lowing down in pranam
path (the road) thinks to it the devotees are paying respect.
Rath(the wooden chariot) thinks to it the devotees are paying respect
The Murti (the statue) thinks to it ,the devotees are paying respect
God who knows all and laughs the last laugh!
HERE GADJI LAUGHS THE LAST LAUGH, BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHO WOULD BE THE WINNER>NOT THE JUDGES>NOT THE MEDIA> NOT THE ADVISORS>DEFINITELY,NOT THE PUBLIC.
I think it is more or less unanimous in this forum that though both Anwesha and Aishwarya are both very talented, Anwesha is a far better singing talent.
I recently heard Aishwarya performing “Aaj Jaane ki zid na karo” and realised that though she is a good singer she does not have the depth in her singing as much as Anwesha. Anwesha sang two of the most difficult songs (according to me) with elan…..”Iss mod se jaate hi” and “Chhoti si kahani se”.
Though Aishwarya tries to sing difficult songs… first of all she requires a lot of effort (you can see from her breathing and her face) and secondly her voice (though the best in the competition) is not trained enough to move from one genre to another that easily……. so her murkhiyan does not sound as well as Anwesha.
While Anwesha is like… OHH MY GOD !!! each and every time she sings it gives me goosebumps. I have to listen to the originals once again to see if she has made any mistakes.
She is not a complete artist as we saw in “Maiya Maiya” where though she picked the arabic tones very well and really did the song well it wasnt close to the original and lacked the voice variety of the two singers who sang the original. May be the effect is because she is two young to give the extra depth to her voice. But the rendition of “Ankhiyan na maar” and “Kaanta lagaa” was superb. Absolutely no superlatives.
If you like voice modulations, treble, classical notes, sharp turns in the songs…….Anwesha is the girl.
And i am sure she is going to rock the music industry.
As far as the judges are concerned………i think they were very harsh on Prakriti and she did not deserve such harsh treatment. She is one cute girl who knew by her heart where she lay in the competetion.
You can see from the faces of the judges when Anwesha performs……I think they have been asked to hold back their comments about her so that others can compete too. Kunal Ganjawala absolutely loves Anwesha and so does Pritam. With Shreya i think, the problem is that she believes that Anwesha is a better singer than what she sings on the competetion night. And you can see the disappointment on her face. I dont think she is trying to cut Anweshas clout but trying to get 100 percent out of this talented kid.
Sanjay – Well said on the Shreya thing, even I talked about the same and from whatever I can make out of her (on the screen), I think shreya definitely expects more from Anwesha and beleives she has. I am with Shreya anyday. As for the songs you mentioned “Is Mod se Jaate Hain” and “Choti Si Kahani Se”, I think the previous is actually a very easy number from a competition perspective.In fact Anwesha stretched some words of the song more than in the original that gave me a feeling that she was going slower than required. As for “Choti Si Kahaani Se”, I wasn’t satisfied with her performance. I have been listening to this original number time and again and feel it did not touch me when Anwesha rendered it, I become very microscopic in my evaluation when somebody renders a Pancham-Asha Combo!
But hey we have the best kids for the finals! what more could we have expected. For this I thank Gaj Mahasay.
Parveen,
You must have listened to the SVOI by now? What do you think? Give us your input. I am waiting to hear what you think of the episode.I am gonna watch it in a few ours from now because I don’t have Star Plus although I have ZEE and SET.Give us your input bro.And happy bloging!!
Avi
Bro, I disagree with you about Shreyas attitude. You could be right and hope you are right but I somehow feel she has an agenda. May be its because of Gajji, I really don’t know.But Aish never sang a Shreya song ( I could be wrong)but every time ANWESHA sang a Shreya number Like ” Barso re megha” and “”MERE dholna” Shreya felt compelled to go up on stage to prove her worth!That I don’t understand! Anyway I could be wrong but thats my thought.
sanjay
I agree with you mostly but I also disagree with you about a few things.”Maiya Maiya” in my opinion was awesome. Her arabic scales and the whole rendition in my opinion was the best that I have heard till now! And I agree with you – every time I hear her sing I go WOW!! BUT unlike you, I for one ,think she is a complete artist, who could be a legend given the chance.Just my thoughts but you may disagree.
I just watched the 21st march episode in which prakriti got eliminated.
COming to today’s episode prakriti and her aunt showed great attitude. Kudos to them!!! and her aunt very politely convayed to the judges that they should not have humiliated prakriti in last epsiode. I think they are great human beings. Regarding the performances all the performances were good but nothing spectacular. They drag the show a little too much so that takes some charm from the show. I have this complaint from this show since the starting. they give too much imprtance to other issues rather than singing and dramatise everything so much.
And also I have been seeing this from last 3 -4 weeks that the time judges have to grade prakriti they give her very bad grades and criticize her a lot but the time they don’t have to grade her they give very good comments. I as a regular listner and no expert cannot make out the difference in her performances under these two circumstances but I just get a feeling that judges just do a balancing act by giving these good comments. Its just what I think, may be I am completely wrong!!!
Though i reluctantly agree with your comments about “Iss mod se jaate hi”, and “Maiya Maiya”, i would like to say that she has done justice to both songs. I think if you would have given the songs to any other contestants including Aishwarya it would have been the most hopeless performance.
Yes it is difficult to create same magic as Pancham da and Asha however it has to be appreciated that the changes from one tone to another and abrupt ends to certain verses in “chhoti si kahani se” was done beautifully by Anwesha. I dont think that anyone could have done any better than her especially not a 14 year old.
As far as “Maiya Maiya” goes i think though she sang the song very very well……she still needs her voice to mature enough to sing those words which are deep voices. But nevertheless hats off.
Leave aside these three songs……….I think Anwesha has done better than the originals in “Dere Dere bolun”, “Ek radha ek meera” (my favourite performance by her), and “Hum Dil De chuke sanam” (especially since it is a duet).
Sanjay
To tell you the truth I loved Anweshas rendition of Maiya Maiya. I am not an expert by any means but I loved Anweshas performance in ‘Hum dil de chuke sanam’( it gave me goose bumps),’Iss mor se jaate hai’, mausam ki adla badli me’ and ‘rang de’ recently among others. I’am a crazy fan of Panchamda’s compositions too but as you said Anwesha did a better job than anybody else would have done except Asha herself may be!I think Avi is pointing out the technicalities that can make Anwesha even a better singer.
parveen & Avi
I really liked Anweshas perfomances in the new episode. I thought in this episode Aish really fell short. But that’s my opinion. I thought Prakriti was awesome in that Shubha mudgal song, really terrific but the rest not up to the mark but that again my opinion.
Every time the producer and director of the show changing the rules of the show. for SVOI it was only public voting based show and now in Chote Ustad 50 precent by judges and 50 percent by public. Do u guys understand why it happened, just to survive their favourite contestant. I read all of the comments and most of the people commented about judges that they were biased, yes I would agree in current circumstances. I followeded this show regularly and in 15th mar. episode, if you people watch the show carefully, you would guess that it was all pre-planned to divert people intentions from their lovely contendors to give more votes to their favourite contestants. Infact, Prakriti s been always very popular in public by giving rocking performances and also she got sweet n fresh voice and yes she s innocent and charming too which is also an xfactor.
Now we come to the judges reaction on last episode, no doubt judges should not treat her like this as this doesnt suite these people like shreya and kunal. We really found them as biased and partial judges and it always happened in these kind of shows so it doesnt sound strange. In other way, it is also a plus point for the producer to catch intentions from the viewers to increase TRP of the show. First of all, judges realised the people that prakriti could be the winner logically by saying these stupid and crappy words and that became the dillema for them too that it might be possible that again a talent from darjeeling could ne a winner. As If I’m not wrong last time, a guy from darjeeling (prashant) i think wont he Indian Idol title. Please don’t think that I’m belonging from darjeeling, I even don’t know where this city situated in India but I appreciate the young talent and observe what the judges behave and how they treat their contestants. In 15th march episode, if you ever see aishwarya’s second song was off key and judges again gave her good remarks. She was going out off sur on high scale. And if you consider this then prakriti’s gela gela song and the other song was far better than aishwarya. No doubt aishwarya and anwesha are very good and strong contendors and I like them very much too. I dont want to blame on their singing but I would go against the injustice of this poor girl who was god gifted talented. This has always been hapening since ages that in these kind of reality shows people always encourage bengali or gujarati contestants and they mostly vote on favourism and on region bases. In that case we always loss our best contendors from other regions. Examples are….raja, vineet, amanat, hemani, toshi etc.
In the last, it s really sad that prakriti has eliminated now but I would surely recommend her as in top 2 based on her best performances so far and not on judges’s biased comments. A very polite message for Indian people, that please say no to racism and encourage the deserving challengers and talented people.
Thank you for reading my review.
Sheraz from UK (Originally from Pakistan)
so much Brilliant performance of kids ,anwesha and aiswyaria we have seen in JAIPUR ,MY WHOLE FAMILY is spellbound.
we have no words to express.
i also think Maharani of Jaipur expressed an important message .people made all the voting from jaipur for prakriti to see how much people are emotional and give vote with their heart than their head.Kunal was defintely embarassed for his remarks for prakriti.
sometimes i feel Young Abhaas has a tendency to put some Milchi on open wounds and ask some sensitive questions on the floor and even to smt.Basundhara.Either he lacks that sense to tackle issues or his attention seeking behavior makes him to do that. He could be a good trade unionist.
i must complement prakriti and her aunt for their social grace and decency.
we give thanks to all for this beautiful episode and making the videos available.
we look forward to APRIL5.
BEST WISHES

There is really no use in critiquing the judges– after all, they are going to be there until the end of the season. After this season, you all will not have to worry about their flaws. They, too, are human and have their mistakes and hypocrisies.

I am very dissappointed by the way you make use of the liberty that is given to post comments by using such disgusting language. An earnest request, please refrain from using such obscene and swear words, especially when referring to their names. Please, it shows how shallow one’s thoughts and upbringing is. Our culture doesn’t promote pathetic and cheap comments, but more so shows how rich our culture is. Ms. Shreya is a woman, and should be respected no matter what..she hasn’t directly harmed anyone, me or you, so why the anger? Grow up and don’t show everyone how cheap you are. Be civilized, and don’t act like a caveman..”Sohail Khan”.

Song choices are so horrible. At this stage of the competition, why not choose songs that will be challenging, melodious, crowd-pulling and pleasant to listen to at the same time? They haven’t even had a proper classical round yet (I don’t count the kisna special episode as a classical round). However, Anwesha and Aishwarya were both very good with their renditions(but who chooses their songs?). I loved Anwesha’s ‘kanta laga’, in particular, her voice projection was brilliant.
But poor Prakriti, I felt so sorry for her today. the judges were making it so obvious that they want her out of the competition next. I agree that she is not quite up to the par of A+A, but the judges could have made their views known without publically demoralising and humiliating the poor girl.
Overall, I have to say I much preferred last week’s episode to this week. They better come with a more suitable theme, with better song choices next week. It is crucial, that the contestants get to sing songs which will show off their range and calibre.

it’s a very difficult job: to differentiate aiswyaria and anwesha> i cannot decide because they are both highly talented. prakriti ,a very honest and decent girl(she herself admitted once) but her musical talent is NOT equal to either anwesha or aiswyaria >this is the truth.people should never bring nepali ,Gujrati or bengali to judge a talent >Talent has no name or creed or color.

Mr Biswas, NOw you don`t even talk about CHILD ABUSE! Ha! Ha! When your favorite Anwesha was given an advice from Pritam YOU started SINGING about CHILD ABUSE! Could you not SEE OR HEAR what happened in this show! Mr Protector! What was done there WAS CHILD ABUSE! It was very evident that these was DONE only to protect our dear Anwesha. the Judges want her to reach the TOP TWO as she is surely deserving! But that does not give them a RIGHT to abuse a child PUBLICLY! Still Pritam gave her ATI UTTAM! Public Humiliation was from Shreya and Kunal and that was surely DISGUSTING.
I REALLY WONDER WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR DEAR MR PROTECTOR!

I think no body has any right to do such comments ofcourse favorisum is exist but before commenting you should keep yourself on that position.the judges and public both are wrong what public is doing alos favourism and racism on VOI ishmeet not atall elijible for final winner but due to community and racsm he got more votes despite judges donot like him verry much so same case with Prakriti it does not natter whether judges like her or not votes will come so reall racist is public not judge.in VOI Tsohi/Harshit/Abhas/Priyani should be the top ISHMEET NOT AT ALL.so it better not to comment and just keep watching.

Tinka tinka was awesome. Too bad no one wanted to nurture your talent. Rather negative comments to make you feel like not even staying any bit longer.
Take care. Don’t let this reality TV show ruin your personality and your life.

OR

Lets see what happens.Star TV & Judges are collecting their money.Shreya & Kunal have criticized Pratkriti (12 year old kid) so many times. Don’t know what they think of themselves.
Good luck to all singers.

PROCESS OF elimination, reprimanding and grading them can be done professionally: without hurting these children.
Praise: publicly to acknowledge it and let others be inspired. NEVER pit a child against his /her peer group >THIS IS NOT A COCK FIGHT. THIS IS A HUMAN CHILD .THIS IS NOT A MONKEY BUSINESS >EVERY CHILD HAS A SPECIAL QUALITY >>SEE TARE JAMIN PAR>> PARENTS NEED TO LISTEN >> PUBLIC MUST STOP THEIR MONKEY BUSINESS AND EDUCATE THEMSELVES.
Reprimand/criticize: privately
Call the child close to you>ask him/her why >listen to his/her reason >see IF the reason is correct or but never in front of peers or not even parents. The child must feel that reprimand as your caring because he/she respects and trust you. NEVER HUMILATE A CHILD >THIS WILL BE A PERMANENT SCAR ON HIS/HER MIND.>this will strip off the self-esteem .self–esteem is a part of self identity. It will permanently paralyze the perception of the child about his or her own ability.
Prepare the child first> tell him/her softly in private not in front of peer group. Never in front of public>>do not bring shame on a child. Tell honestly how he or she can improve.

TIME IS RUNNING OUT ,ALL ADMIRERS OF ANWESHA AISHWARYA AND PRAKRITI JUST LOG ON TO INDYA .COM AND CAST AS MANY VOTES AS YOU WISH ,TO SEE YOUR FAVOURITE IN FINAL.

MANY VIEWERS HAVE GIVEN VENT TO THEIR FEELINGS ABOUT KUNAL GANJAWALA AND HIS SINGING CAPABILITIES.THE JUDGE KUNAL’S COMMENTS OVER PRAKRITI’S PERFORMANCE HAS ANGERED MANY VIEWERS AND I ALSO FEEL THAT PRAKRITI’S PERFORMANCE IN FIRST ROUND WAS EXCEPTIONAL AND CERTAINLY BETTER THAN ANWESHA’S PERFORMANCE.
KUNAL IS AN ESTABLISHED SINGER IN BOLLYWOOD . HIS VOICE SUITS PARTICULAR GENRE OF SONGS. NO SINGER COULD HAVE SUNG “BHEEGE HONTH TERE—”AS SENSUOUSLY AS KUNAL AND THAT SONG FETCHED HIM MANY AWARDS.
KUNAL AS WELL AS SHREYA WERE UNDER TREMENDOUS PRESSURE TO AWARD HIGHEST GRADES TO AISHWARYA AND ANWESHA AND THE LOWEST TO PRAKRITI TO SAVE THE FIRST TWO FROM POSSIBLE ELIMINATION AS PRAKRITI IS CONSISTENTLY GETTING MASSIVE SUPPORT FROM HER ADMIRERS WHO ARE PREPARED TO GO TO ANY EXTENT AND TO SEE HER IN FINAL. THERE IS EVERY POSSIBILITY THAT ANWESHA COULD BE ELIMINATED IF HER SUPPORTERS JUST CONTINUE TO LEND HER VERBAL PASSIVE SUPPORT INSTEAD OF ACTIVE SUPPORT THROUGH VOTES

Prakriti Giri is in top 3 .
Prakriti also has a chance now to come in top 2 with Anwesha or Ashwariya.
Judges Shreya & Kunal are pathetic & should not be judging kids show. They don’t know how to give constructive advice to children .
Happy singing to remaining contestants.

I don’t blame judges but the Director of the show for putting up such a humiliating script to judges to rate prakriti performance. Why are u unable to understand that it is CHOTTE USTAD, all about childerns..u hav to care about their feelings, what ever u did to that poor girl prakriti in this episode is a stupid act…there could have been alot better ways to signal audience about your/judge’s choice of Top 2…but u can actually drag that poor child to such an extent is unbelievable and highly un-ethical….think about that and think of smthing intelligent to cover this in next episode..

THE THREE JUDGES PREETAM SHREYA AND KUNAL WERE COMPELLED TO DOWNGRADE PRAKRITI AND DELIBERATELY UPGRADE TRAINED PERFORMERS ANWESHA AND AISHWARYA TO SAVE THEM FROM ELIMINATION AS PRAKRITI IS BACKED BY HER SUPPORTERS UP TO THE HILT AND THEY WANT TO ENSURE THAT SHE FIGURES IN FINAL TOP TWO PERFORMERS.
THE JUDGES WERE HOWEVER EXPECTED TO PASS THEIR COMMENTS MORE DIPLOMATICALLY RATHER THAN OPENLY AND UNNECESSARILY CRITICISING YOUNG PRAKRITI IN PUBLIC AND IN FRONT OF MILLIONS OF VIEWERS WHO WERE WATCHING THIS TELECAST.THIS ATTITUDE OF JUDGES IS HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE PARTICULARLY WHEN PRAKRITI PERFORMED COMPETENTLY IN THIS EPISODE AND CAME VERY CLOSE TO OTHER PERFORMERS.

In my opinion the performances of the three singers on saturday should have been awarded marks as under:
First round:
1.Anwesha—-50/100
2.Prakriti—65/100
3.Aishwarya–85/100
Second round:
1.Anwesha—-95/100 -almost better than the original
2.Prakriti—55/100–JUDGES COMMENTS HAD ADVERSE EFFECT
3.Aishwarya–70/100
Young Abhaas came to the rescue of Prakriti and appealed to her supporters for votes in sincere manner.

“PRAKRITI IS MADE SCAPE GOAT”
First of All, Salute to Pritamda. He is a real Judge who is judging on nothing else but performence. He never did injustice to anyone on basis of from where that child belong.
For other 2 judges, just to make sure that Anwesha goes to finals, our little Prakriti is made scape goat. (Prakriti ko halaal kiya hai ye racial Shrya aur Kunaal ne)
Let us see how these 2 Judges’ played their cards.
First AISHWARYA. She gets good voting from people from the very begining & most guests coming to the show praises her singing including Pritamda, it was not possible for these 2 judges to offer “madhyam” to Aishwarya & so, it was not possible for them to kick her out.
PRAKRITI received not only Gorkha votes but also votes from all over the far eastern world so much that for 3 times she got maximum number of votes. She also consistantly received ‘Atiuttam’ from all the judges.
ANWESHA though supported by judges with ‘Sarvottam’ (even if she is besoora in Mere Dholana & many others) gets very low public voting throughout the show and was in scaryland for 3 times.
So, even if Prakriti receives Atiuttam from all the judges, she would beat Anwesha in total ranking.
Shreya & Kunaal wanted Anwesha in to finals any how and Pritamda would not agree with them to give biased judgement, so these corrupt minds gave Prakriti very low marks “Madhyam”.
Under such conditions, Prakriti will need to get over 70% of total votes to reach Finals with such low marks from judges.
I call all Gorkhas and all other lovers of Prakriti to vote her like anything and bring her to finals and thereby slap these 2 rascals. C’mon, we still have some hours to vote. Like Aishwarya’s father said in one of the show, our daughter does not need ‘Dayaa’ from these 2 judges.
Ye ‘DAYAA’ aap Anwesha ke liye hi rakhiye. Hum Gorkha log desh ka khayaal karte hai aur karte rahenge. Shrya aur Kunaal, aap ne kitne bhi paise kamaa liye honge magar aap aur Anwesha jaise gareeb humne aaj tak nahin dekhe. Magar ek baat hai. GORKHA ANWESHA KO VOTE NAHIN KARENGE. Even if Anwesha reaches finals, she would be standing there in a place given to her in ‘Bhikh’ by the 2 special judges by snatching that place from PRAKRITI.
By the way, when Anwesha got one tear on Pritamda’s fatherly advise, one super Bengoli ‘Biswas’ wrote in this forum about child abuse and humiliation etc. So what does he have to say now? Prakriti is not child? All Non-Bengolis are not human? Saale Haraami Biswas!You racial creep!

First round:
1.Anwesha—-80/100
2.Prakriti—75/100
3.Aishwarya–55/100
Prakriti was really good in her first performance better then Ash
Second round:
1.Anwesha—-95/100 -almost better than the original
2.Prakriti—55/100(Effect of Judges comments)
3.Aishwarya–70/100
My opinion Ash was not up to the mark it is quite obvious by the the judges comments and Abhas asking her to close eyes and think she is performig in finale,Adesh asking and go in public and sing(if they would have asked Prakriti or Anevesha the result would be the same which they dint do that intentionally)common give us a break people are not blind it clearly shows that they want Ash to win the scape goats are Prakriti and Anevesha
@ DEVKISHIN I think u need to listen the song carefully before giving comments(Anvesha was not good in her first song,did u c Ash had a problem with her breath common sir please give me a break….)

Today if Prakri Giri is one of the top contenders of Chhote Ustad Title it is entirely on the basis of her own talent.She was selected from thousands of aspirants by Chhote Ustad team due to her performance in preliminaries.All supporters of Prakriti should be grateful to STAR VOICE OF INDIA ,DIRECTOR GAJENDRA SINGH AND THE THREE JUDGES(who could have easily eliminated her in earlier rounds)who have provided her this platform to showcase her talent. Today she is almost at the threshold of successful career in playback singing.This show is not yet over .Pakriti has equal chance to perform in GRAND FINALE in mumbai on April the 5th.
For the GOD’s sake DONOT spoil her chances at this crucial juncture by antagonising the viewers/music lovers who like Pakriti and are going to vote for her.

I would love to see anvesha in final 2, but I hated the judges’ behaviour yesterday. it was a clear indication that they are under gajji. aishwarya–where does she get so many votes from? gujarat has neevr been fanatic with votes. I think the show is manipualted to make aishwarya win
However a sweet, innocent 12 yr old Prakriti giri is made to suffer because of this? So unfair. she is just a little girl,kunal and shreya. Pritam was right. she deserved ‘attiuttam’ not ‘uttam/madhyam’. She has a good voice quality and a sweet, silky texture. A little training and you will rock prakriti giri!! And poor little girl was in tears throughout. part of top 3 and such behavious towards her? If she is getting votes, its not her fault. the little prakriti is honest, endearing, a good friend to all the contestants. She does not deserve this, not even if it means anshu has to be eliminated.
ia ma supporter of anvesha’s singing 100% she is the best. but eevn for her sake i will not pardon the judges for such behaviour. Why did ash get sartaj? she was below average with the first song, good in the second no doubt.
I am sad the show’s standards have fallen.

One thing every one missed is the designer’s costume which Prakriti put on in Saturday”s episode.She looked fantastic in that dress. I have yet to come across a better designed and more exquisitely stiched outfit for a 12 year old . That outfit was probably the best ever worn by a contestant in GAJENDRA SINGH’S REALITY SHOW. ALL DRESS DESIGNERS MUST HAVE LOOKED AT YOUR DRESS AND YOUR COMPLETE PERSONALITY IN DISBELIEF .
PRAKRITI YOU AGAIN PROVED YOURSELF THAT YOU BELONG TO A VERY CULTURED FAMILY WHICH HAS INCULCATED IN YOU VERY HIGH MORALS AND RARE VALUES WHEN YOU REMARKED THAT VYOM SHOULD STAY PUT AND YOU SHOULD LEAVE THE SHOW.YOUR THIS ATTITUDE WILL TAKE YOU VERY FAR IN LIFE AND I PERSONALLY WILL NOT BE SURPRISED IF YOU ARE CROWNED CHHOTE USTAD AS ALMOST ALL HAVE PLAYED WITH YOUR EMOTIONS BUT THE SUPREME BEING HAS HIS OWN WAY OF REWARDING ANGELS.GOD BLESS YOU.

Earlier the VOI judges made Ishmeet cry, he had to face non-stop racism for last 4 months of the show. He won by his good luck.
Now Prakriti is being subjected to racism.

Ishmeet’s pathetic treatment has set the tone for racism in Indian reality shows. Had it been stopped then the trend would hv finished. Prakriti is second victim of racism. Now more contestants will hv to face racism in future if all this non-sense is not stopped by Gajendra Singh.

DEVKISHINJI,
i have few suggestions:
1.public voting should be eliminated completely.Public can express their favorites that’s all.
2.no public display of elimination: elimantion result will be announced on the electronic score board.the scoring from the judges will be displayed but not the names.
3. a committee of professional Music body :who will have 50% power of their voting,vetoing and elimination.
4.The score Board will be final place where most important displays will be declared and the comments for each contestant rather than direct from the judges mouth.
5.Board of directors will also decide the Music from the same genre to judge each candidate>eg. classical,Bhajans,Ghazal ,folks ,remix,etc in each category.
these will eliminate the emotional hullabaloo of the public and regionalism.i still don’t understand ,an intelligent person like Gaj ji cannot implement these simple measures.

Judges have a JOB to do . Their job is to see that the deserving candidate wins. And Anwesha and aishwarya are definitely the deserving ones.
Prakriti is sweet but definetely does not deserve to be in top three. Nepalese people are voting for Prakriti only because she is a nepali and that’s PURE RACISM.
When judges don’t have power then undeserving candidates like Prashant Tamang and Ishmeet win purely because of regionalism and thats UNFAIR. I believe prakriti wouldn’t have been in top 3 if she was not a nepali.She is a good singer but needs a lot of training.I felt bad for her when she cried but judges job is to tell the TRUTH and GUIDE the audiences to vote for the deserving contestant.
ITS TRUE THAT JUDGES HAVE THEIR FAVORITES BUT THE FAVORITISM IS TOWARDS THE DESERVING CANDIDATES AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH REGIONALISM OR RACISM.The idea is to select the best singer , doesn’t matter where they are from what religion, cast or race they belong to. I think the judges are just doing their job.

Innocent Ishmeet cried in the face of racist slurs by Abhijeet & Co. No body took notice of his tears. Prakriti is lucky that atleast people have noticed her pain.
Prakriti has been targetted mainly for her singing, but Ishmeet was targetted on communal grounds.Remember Abhijeet’s famous words “Kaho apne bhaiyon se SMS bhejna band karren” Or Lalit’s famous words ” Isko to anap-shanap vote mil rahe hain”
Abhijeet went to the extent of saying”tum to top 10 mein aane ke layak bhi nahin the”
So Ishmeet had to go through all this humiliation.
Prakriti is lucky that atleast she has been subjected to less humilation compared to Ishmeet.

In LiL champs too Rohanpreet was unfairly defeated. He was the clear winner. But anamika was declared the winner at the last moment just to appease the bengali community. Aneek, Anamika, Sanchita all bongs r winning the saregama shows. Why?

WE all know you’re CRAZY about ISHMEET! No point saying anything about that.But if you think Rohanpreet deserved to win SAREGAMAPA then you must be crazier than I thought. Aneek and Sanchita definitely deserved to win in my opinion. Anamika on the other hand is an OK singer who won because she had no competion in top 3. All the good singers in SAREGAMAPA were eliminated beforehand by PUBLIC VOTING because judges UNLIKE VOI had no power.

you guyz are missing the point. it is not about bengali, punjabi, north-east. None of these 3 communities should complain!! all 3 had winners last yr in ANEEK, ISHMEET and PRASHANT respectively. That is because in the first case ANEEK was deserving enough but PRASHNAT and ISHMEET were the weakest conytestants among top 12 in VOI, indian idol3. Still they won beacuse their communites supproted them? isn’t that so?
I felt in VOI ABHAS JOSHI should have won and in indian idol 3 DEEPALI KISHORE. but unforuntaley or fortunately M.p ke people and biharis did not vote enough. Unlike punjabis and north-east.
SO DESERVING MUST WIN, IRRESPECTIVE OF REGION. that is what music show shopuld be aboput. leave aside personal prejudices and vote for deserving one ONLY.

ANAMIKA was best among top 3, and rohanpreet was also good. Either of them winning is not a loss. so stop this bengali vs. punjabi nonsense.if tanmay won, it would have been a loss.
As for this particular chote ustad, below all the gimmiks and cheap publicity only one contestant desrves to win– anvesha. If only people would look beyond their region and vote. another very good contestant SONIA was far better then aishwarya and prakrit, who are now in top 3. sonia and anvesha would have been perfect top 2 material. I Don’t know, i am not too impressed by this show not because of lack of talemt but lack of a clean and non-biased judgement.

First of all bengalis are apparently not voting for Anwesha because in spite of getting all sarwottams from the judges she had been in the scaryland a few times.You may like Ishmeet and Rohanpreet just because they are PUNJUBIS but I(being a Bengali)for one voted for Aamir and NOT Anamika in SAREGAMAPA and I’m not a muslim! The votes should be casted according to the contestant’s singing ability not for any other reason.
Anwesha and Aishwarya are both very well trained. Anwesha was ist runner up in ZEE Bangla SAREGAMAPA ( she came in second apparently because she sang too many claasical songs!). And AISH participated in last years SAREGAMAPA but had to withdraw because of health reasons. PEASE lets not vote for regionalism. LETS JUST VOTE FOR THE BEST SINGER. Thanks

DRAKBISWAS FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION:
THE DAY IS NOT FAR OFF WHEN VOTING BY PUBLIC WILL BE DONE AWAY WITH IN REALITY SHOWS AS TIME AND AGAIN THE REAL TALENT IS CRUSHED BY MONEY POWER.
GAJENDRA SINGH DID REALISE THE PITFALLS OF VOTING SYSTEM AND GAVE 50% POWER TO JUDGES WHO ARE TRYING THEIR BEST TO HONOUR THE REAL TALENT.HOWEVER CERTAIN ELEMENTS IN A COMMUNITY ARE BENT UPON NEGATING THIS WELCOME CHANGE AND ARE ROOTING FOR THEIR OWN PERSON TO WIN THE TITLE . I PERSONALLY HAVE VERY HIGH REGARD FOR ANGELIC PRAKRITI AND THE MANNER IN WHICH THE LITTLE PRAKRITI WAS REPEATEDLY HUMILIATED IN SATURDAY’S EPISODE BY KUNAL AND SHREYA WAS PATHETIC . SHE WAS SHEDDING TEARS CONTINUOUSLY.THEY COULD HAVE CONVEYED THEIR OPINION IN MORE DIGNIFIED MANNER .THIS SHOW IS TELECAST WORLDWIDE AND MILLIONS OF VIEWERS WATCHED THIS TORTURE OF A KID IN PUBLIC. I WAS WATCHING THIS EPISODE WITH MY FAMILY AND MY HEART WAS CRYING FOR THIS INNOCENT CHILD .HAVE SOME MERCY ON YOUNG CHILDREN GAJENDRA SINGH . YOU ARE DESTROYING THE SPIRIT OF A WELL-BEHAVED CULTURED YOUNG GIRL WHO IS SUFFERING DUE TO UNFAIR ACTS OF SOME INDIVIDUALS OF HER OWN COMMUNITY.THE VERY SUPPORTERS HAVE PROVED TO HER GREATEST ENEMIES.WHAT A PARADOX!

Public voting should be stopped totally. There should be couple of judges and the contestants in the show. They will crown so called ‘ustaad’ whoever they like or think he or she deserves. Anyway there are so many programs in which there is no public participation. Then none of the contestants will have to face humiliation like the prakriti had to today.

i have few suggestions:
1.public voting should be eliminated completely.Public can express their favorites that’s all.
2.no public display of elimination: elimantion result will be announced on the electronic score board.the scoring from the judges will be displayed but not the names.
3. a committee of professional Music body :who will have 50% power of their voting,vetoing and elimination.
4.The score Board will be final place where most important displays will be declared and the comments for each contestant rather than direct from the judges mouth.
5.Board of directors will also decide the Music from the same genre to judge each candidate>eg. classical,Bhajans,Ghazal ,folks ,remix,etc in each category.
these will eliminate the emotional hullabaloo of the public and regionalism.i still don’t understand ,an intelligent person like Gaj ji cannot implement these simple measures.

Dr.Biswas,
I agree with you.Way back in the days when Gajendra Singh used to direct/produce SaReGaMa on Zee TV there was no public voting and Ustaad Zakir Hussain,Girija Devi and others were judging the shows. I don’t know what made Gajendra Singh go into this business of public voting. May be it is his lust to make more money.
The second point that I want to make is that they had classical, non classical, judges choice rounds in SaReGaMa.
I am really at a loss to explain why Gajendra Singh decided to do away with these.

financial flow can come from so many business corporates ads to channels show with english dubbing.
Earning money is an art, many talented people cannot have a living simple they don’t understand the secret otherwise it wouldn’t have taken 60yrs for India to make USA as Business partner,the richest country in the world,whereas chinese ,a communist country understood fast enough to leave india by far.still many indians have no idea how far behind china!!

Hi Jatin
I have the answer for you. Its simple! why Bengalis are winning because they are better in SUR and TAAL. Bina sikhe humlog contest ladne nahi aate.
Sari duniya janti hain sirf aap hi anajan ho! Really strange! GK enhance kijiye.
Everyone has the right to win be it Punjabi, or Nepali but you have to compete with the other contestents. Its not the question of “right” you have to be good in singing that is all.
I am a Bengali but I like Ashwariya and Anewesha, previously I supported Amanat and Aneek becuas e I fet they were better than others and in VOI I supported Abaash becuas ehe was better.
All I could gather from the comments that people from Punjab will only vote their ward even if they cannot sing and also all Nepalees will vote their ward even if they are not worth. But Bengalis are not like that. Had it been so Anwesha would have got the highest public votes. We understand music so our votes are not biased. Ashwariya is Gujarti and I am voting for her because I like her voice. I also voted for Anwesha when she sang “ami je tomar” , Mari himbro mein when Ilaji came, she was too good.
I feel sorry about Prakriti, she is very sweet the Judges should be polite with her. Please Judges do not be so harsh with her. That’s my feelings.
Mein ek Bengali hoke apni community ke bare mein bolna nahi chati thi. Ek baar Dr Bsiwas ko mein ne hi kahan tha ki aap Bengali ki bardai mat kijiye…lekin yeha Pe lagatar Bengalees pe attack hote hoye mein to nahi dekha shakti kiyoki hum log itne gire huye inshan nahi hain! Kisi ko to awaz uthani hi perdegi…Hume waar korege to double khaoge TUM!

Judges behaviour especially Kunal and Shreya was very disappointing towards prakruti. It was not easy for her to reach top 3. People who have judged her singing may include very senior professionals in music than Kunal and Shreya who are still upcoming singers who should not forget they have also been selected from a similar stage as prakruti. So I would suggest that they should not pass such comments that would effect her singing in future, as such comments would demoralise and their performance effected.
Judges have mistaken that the people may vote as per their comments. Hence it were sarcastic comments made to
prakruti so that she would not get any votes.
It is also clear that they want Anvesha on the top and no doubt they would do same to Aishwarya as they did to Prakruti in the final (in case they both are in in final)as her golden voice is a threat to the Female judge Shreya.

What are you talking about? Aishwarya is not a threat to Shreya but Anwesha is!That’s why she is being particularly critical to Anwesha and unbeliebably sweet to Aishwarya!Aishwarya’s voice has no resemblence to Shreya where as Anwesha sang ‘Mere Dholna ‘ and ‘Barso re megha megha’ even better than Shreya live!You bet Shreya has a competition in ANWESHA because she is an AWESOME singer.You coul’d tell she had an inferiority complex when Anwesha sang those songs better than her live!

Bengali literature ,Gitanjali brought the first Nobel prize in literature and it was Bengali songs of Tagore again made 2 national anthems of two countries, India and bangaldesh>Bengali literature was accepted by first University of Berkely when Tagore Visited here in 1912.Bengali literature with galaxy of stars ,bankim,sarat,Nazrul and thousand others with Tagore remained the most strongest literature only compared to english and joined worlds’ literature (honored by UNESCO)>Bengali was rejected by India as media for learning or research<Hindi was chosen,the weakest media in ASIA. A man who doesn’t know anything about Bengali lang. becomes the proctor of VISWABHARATI. if ANWESHA LOSSES ,NO REGRET FOR ME because I knew the truth 40yrs ago.

@ Dr A K Biswas,
We should have supported you that time. Soory for that, We bengalus are like that we never support another Bengali and that is why Anwesha is behind inspite of her good singing capabilities. But I would rate Ashwariya also equivalent to Anwesha. and somehow I feel that Shreya Ghosal is not supporting Anwesha even if she is singing better sometimes. If Ashawariya get appreciated when she is doing well , Anwesha should also get the same and so should Prakriti.
Someone above wrote that Sherya should not forget her sa re ga ma pa days…but let me tell those people that Sherya is not here today by public voting, at that time public voting was not there. The Judges selected her as the best. She truly deserve that.
In this episode the Judges were little harsh to Prakriti that is becuase mainly they want Ash and Anwesha to be in the top and I do not see anything wrong in that. Only they should comment a little softer way to Prakriti. She is very sweet little girl. Prakriti also herself understand that she is fit for 3rd position now.
Most of the previous talent show people have casted vote only based on region e.g Sandeep Acharya was the winner where as Karunya from Andhra Pardesh was actually deserving one. Debojit Saha was from Assam and he was the winner where as actually deserving candidate was Vineet from UP I think. Even Hemani Kapoor and Nihira Joshi were also in the derserving candidate’s list. But if you see today they are doing better in their actaul life. Another example is HemChandra from Andhra Pradesh today he is a upcoming singer in south Indian film industry.
So at this point it really does not matter who will win. Only the thing is we feel bad if we see a non deserving candidate is in the top.
I am supporting Ashwariya and Anwesha. My vote goes to Ashwariya as well as Anwesha , to me its very difficult to make a decision who is the best between Anw and Ash.
But I think Sherya is supporting Ash becuase Anwesha sounds like her so Anwesha could be a threat to Shreya. Ashwariya’s voice is entirly different.

I would have to agree that Shreya seems to be a little more critical towards Anwesha than she is to Aishwarya. You can see it on her face, everytime Anwesha performs, Shreya’s expression turns sour. I have noticed this lately, though she wasn’t always like that. Even when Aishwarya would be besura in some of her songs, in the early days, Shreya would smile and give her a pleasant look. I think she definately favours Aish to Anu just a little bit.
I also think all this hype around Aish is just so they can bring her up to Anu’s level, otherwise the final round would be very one-sided. However, I think as a singer, Anwesha is miles ahead of Aishwarya (though Aish is improving), but as a performer, Aishwarya is better. I prefer listening to songs than watching performances, so I would pick Anwesha as my chhote ustaad.

The voice of Prakriti is unique and different and so she has a future in the music industry. But today she’s untrained and certainly not in the league of Aishwarya and Anwesha. So the third place is justified for her. I want to make some observations about Kunal and Shreya. It shocked and surprised me but on thinking over I felt
Whatever happens on the show is not spontaneous. It’s planned and meant to be that way. Every elimination is well known well in advance to all participants, judges, etc. everyone except the audience.
These comments I bet were given with the full knowledge and consent of Prakriti and her relatives. That’s why there was no reaction on the face of Prakriti’s relation. The close up shot of the tears on Prakriti’s face looked suspiciously like taken from an earlier episode.
Do you think these comments couldn’t have been edited out before showing to the country
Gajji is extremely clever. These comments were made just to have the effect they had, to get the Gurkhas so angry (notoriously well known for their clan feeling) so that they’ll spend their last rupee on SMS
But this time it’s mathematically impossible for Prakriti to get into the finals. Next episode there’ll be apologies from Kunal and Shreya, nice things said to Prakriti and gently she’ll be shown the way out of the contest

So, what about the abuse the judges had made on that little child? is that your part of culture as well?
i do agree that some peoples has used an inappropriate language which they shouldn’t. but end of the day, it’s an adverse effect of those humiliating comments made by those sick so-called judges which they don’t really deserve to be.
and please don’t try to give a lecture on your culture. it’s you who makes the difference. and every person is different. there’s no point on making a comment on a whole community just because a few handful of peoples has made a mistake. so, if you think u are an cultured indian, why would you worry about others. if every single person could make them a better citizen, then the whole community prospers.
when the british were here, who could have known discrimination, humiliation and racism better than Indians. but what annoys me a lot is that the british has left india many years ago but i think they have inherited their sick culture over u guys.
what more can I say.

Hi Devkishin -
Why do you think “Waada Rahaa Pyar Se Pyar Ka” should be a song to judge somebody’s mettle ? It’s a very simple composition that does not reveal any singing aspect of a singer. I think it is very ordinary song. At this moment when I am replying to you, I can suggest of one song that I can think will bring out their skills and that is “Hamein Tumse Pyar Kitna” by Parveen Sultana, remember the Parveen Sultana version and not Kishore version. Parveen Sultana has done an amazing job and her rendition shows her grip on classical music that is the mother of all other forms of Indian bollywood istyle (if at there is any).

Come & Win(sms & win)
I am wondering what kind of Brain this Nepali clan have?
This is called “putul naach” in Bengali, means “puppet dance” :the putul dances according to skill of the puppeteer’s hand>the string is unseen and putul entertains. In Bengal, folk dance where it started, it’s called “ketu naach”
it played Ramayana to sita Haran(abduction of sita) evrything.Mahabhartha was also displayed along with charu katha in Gramin Bangla(village folk )
Villagers will gather at the dance stage and will vent their emotions with the music and dance of the puppets. After a while, the unison of the rhythm with folks emotions will be high enough to entertain the public.
50% voting is public and nothing more
That’s the maximum prakriti can get
50% of the Judges vote will determine her fate where she will get 25%-30% = 75%-80%
Anyone, either ASH or ANES may get 40% in public voting but 49% -50% in judge’s voting= 89%-90% comfortable enough to be first and second.
khel katham > paisa hazam >wait for the next ketu naach!

Hi “I Agree” -
I would slightly contradict on one aspect of your comment that highlights Shreya Ghoshal’s attitude towards Anwesha. I think Shreya isn’t happy with the kind of songs that Anwesha is singing. In the past couple of episodes she has sung all “garbage numbers”. Even when she sang “Jaane Kya Chaahe Man”.. she was actually fighting with the pitch of the song. I think Shreya wants to see her perform songs that just brings the class of this little wonder called Anwesha.. for example songs like “Ek Raadha Ek Meera”, “Mere Dholna” etc etc.. I think there are enough songs in Hindi cinema that Anwesha can choose (given the fact that she is allowed to choose her songs) that can bring her true colour and skill.
Just my thoughts.

In the current scenario of things, eevrything seems like gajendra’s plan. maybe anvesha will be eliminated because the whole point to show those clips was to get votes in. poor prakrit had to suffer in this.
The judges did it to save anvehsa from elimination. Even shreya, ehos eezxpression towards anvesha is not as good as aishwarya, wants anu in final 2.Obviously since she is best singer.
But judes could have done it not making prakrit sad. if as people feel aishwarya will be crowned winner, then what’s the point of the whole contest? Many good singers like jayant,geetasri and sonia had to be eliminated before ‘average’ singers like prakrit and aishwarya. I feel prakrit is as good or bad as ash. judges are biased towards ash or is it gajji?

Definitely Aishwarya should go thsi time. all this is gajendra ji ka tricks. mano ejta wu. very clever gajendra ji. You want aishwarya to win and will eliminate anvesha and prakriti the good singers.
and gajendra ji your aishwarya will fail if she has to compete with prakriti.She was making faces when prakriti came to top 3. shame on you aishwarya. you are here just because of gajendra and i am sure public not voting for you.

I have been reading the remarks on this forum. there seems to be many knowledgeable poeple here. however some like Mr. biaswas’s comments are not easy to read. They are written with a pretentious import.
i would just request all readers to vote for the shining talent ANVESHA DATTA GUPTA. there is no other deserving winner in this show. Contestants like Aishwarya are inflated beyond their worth, and there seems to be propoganda there in portraying her as the best. She is not even near the best. Also the format of the show leaves one with grave doubts as to why aishwarya is highlighted so much.
There were many upcoming good singers like mansi and prakriti and the little pendulum. they should have been given some attention. they will all do well in future– god bless. As for 2′nd and 3′rd anyone can come. Ideally I would have liked mansi to come to top 5. All the kids are good and should be given recognition.
the one who deserved to win and does is anvesha. none other. However voting is another ball game altogether.

SEems like lot of people for anvesha. Where are you people when the voting starts? It is sad that bengalis just talk, but are not clever enough to vote for the deserving and talented. But then again, bengalis who should have won like aneek and sanchita and anamika got votes.
But anvesha is much talented then them and deserves more votes. Ficke-minded public!!

To me, Gitashree is third best in this competition, after 1.Aishwarya 2.Anwesha
The judges threw Gitashree out only to avoid Bengali votes getting split
In my list of top 3, among them 2 are Bengalis. So I’m not against Bengalis.
Of course Gitashree had some limitations. All her songs were of one type but whatever she sang, it was 100 percent perfect. I don’t know how well she’d have performed later if she’d stayed I’m basing my comments on her short stay.
But Aishwarya is definitely the very best. There’s absolutely no doubt about that at all.
I don’t agree with one of the comments above that Shreya is afraid of Anwesha. It’s been seen before that a new singer with a similar voice and style as a established singer has no chance in the industry. That’s why when Lata, Asha Bhonsle and Mohd Rafi were singing, no other similar singer could break in.
But Aishwarya with her fantastic different voice and style is a real threat to Shreya. It’s really great that in spite of this threat, Shreya still encourages Aishwarya. Truly I admire her for this.
When Anwesha sings a good song, Shreya immediately sings to show that she’s better, but never has Shreya sang the same song after Aishwarya. Shreya can never hope to sing better than Aishwarya

Though I am following this program from day One, I finally concluded that this program has to be stopped at once.
Esc. when Kunal said to Prakruti that she can win “Pop contest” but no chhote ustaad. Prakruti deserve nahi karati ye kunal ko aab kaise pata chala. Last 30 episodes main soya tha kya?
In fact, I was in impression that Kunal is good singer. But if he is not good human being, then according to me, he is not good singer. Also, if he has said this in studio, ( where earlier programs were done ) , I will still ( somehow ) forgive him, but not this time. As he has openly insulted Prakruti in front of thousands of people in Bhopal.
In fact, kunal can sing only few types of songs as his singing style is western, He can sing the way Sonu Nigam or Udit Narayan signs. They are class apart. So Kunal should remember his own limitations before blaming to Prakruti.
I was suprised that even Shreya does the same way.
I would like to say that, Prakruti is not good singer as
Anwesha or Aishwarya. But she has good voice and after say 3/4 years , she can be promising singer. Though she is kid now , she has her own respect. and Judges should not insult anyone so openingly.
That’s why, I will pledge, not to vote anyone so that
these kind of programs will not be on air in future.
( At least, judges will not insult any one like what happened with Prakruti )
To Gajendra Singh,
When Saregama was started, It was class apart. But now
it is not even a reality show.
To all music lovers…

I think this Public Humiliation was done in a very BAD TASTE and unwanted. Moreover it was done to save Anwesha and NOT Aishwarya. Aishwarya has already got high marks from the `GREAT` Judges on Saturday. Hope fully she will get enough support from her fans and will get high votes as always. It was so evident from these judges` comments for Prakriti`s performances (Friday- VERY HIGH and saturday- VERY LOW) that they are telling her supporters NOT to VOTE for her! It was done in DISGUSTING MANNER. You can not tell people who are for their community to be UN-LOYAL! Not Possible! Tell /Appeal to people to Vote for a good/best Singer. But this was Really Stooping Very Low and conducted in a very bad TASTE.Think of the Psychy of that 12 YEAR OLD n HONEST CHILD! I think that without enough public Support if anyone of them has to go it is yet ok then humiliating a child in PUBLIC like this.

Well said mr Sherpa,
I agree with you on yr point on Aishwarya. Every guest has always PRAISED Aishwarya on each of her performance. On some of her performances she has been praised much MORE than Anwesha(ALKAJI, ADNAN SAMI, ABHIJITDA,ILA ARUN) But still i don`t understand why these Judges talk about only Anwesha as CONSISTANT. That is why i think she really thinks that she is THE BEST. That is the sole reason for her crying on a single criticism from Pritamda. She was surely given SARVOTTAMS even on performances not deserving. While on a very good performance of AAWARA BHANWRE she was given only ATI UTTAMS from all 3 Judges. It was very clear that it was PRE-DECIDED. Still she did not cry and accepted it nicely. you could see the disappointment on her face after a brilliant effort to sing a VERY DIFFICULT SONG. I think if Shreya had sung the same song at that time it would have sounded the same. I m writting this after hearing Aishwarya and the Original back to back.
ONE CAN NEVER REACH ANYWHERE IN LIFEBY STEPPING ON SOMEONE.YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO OVERTAKE OTHERS AND GO AHEAD IN LIFE.
I M WITH YOU ON YOUR POINT ON LOYALTY WITH YOUR GIRL. BRAVO!

I was really very, very upset to see Saturday’s program. The remarks of Kunal Ganjawala were really outrageous and heartbreaking for Prakriti. While I agree that performance-wise both Anwesha and Aishwarya are better than her, but Kunal has no right to pass such remarks. In fact, what this cute and innocent girl deserved was appreciation and encouragement so that she could perform better on her second attempt. However, not once but two times in the same eposode, she was roughly treated by the same judge and other judges also agreed to him.
Being a foreigner, perhaps I may not have the right to complain on the outrageous and uncalled for behaviour of Kunal, but “insaanyat kay naatey” I strongly condemn such a treatment on a child of minor age and demand an apology from Kunal.
As far as performance of Saturday’s program is concerned, while judges appeared to favor Aishwarya, but the fact is that Anwesha perfomed better than her. Her performance in both the songs was even better than the original.
I had earlier appealed to the people of Kolkata to give lots of vote to Anwesha and I once again request the people of Kolkata to wake up before it is too late. Your daughter deserves your support. If you cannot support your daughter then who else will you.
I again wish and pray that may Anwesha win the title of Chhote Ustaad.

I wonder what to appreciate about yr comment! On one criticism you made such a hue and cry! ON ACTUAL CHILD ABUSE you had to say you don`t support it. IS THAT ENOUGH? NOTHING ELSE? I expected much more from a person like you. And so i just left it. I guess, each person has his own opinions!
I wonder why you are so negative about everyone and everything! Teaching basic manners, courtesy, civic sense and ethics is done by parents in India. why do you take it on yourself? I think it is hurting you more than anybody else.

Ronnie,
Rohanpreet is a very talented singer & performer , but probably your negative outlook towards Ishmeet’s community is not letting you see his talent.
Punjabis/Sikhs have a broad outlook, but other people cant seem to digest or see them reaching at the top. This is very sad for sikhs, who are willing to make the highest sacrifices for the country. And people of India cant even stand them winning small music contests. How sad! These reality shows have exposed the negative outlook of fellow Indians towards sikhs. Despite winning Ishmeet has been denied the respect that should be given to a champion purely because of his religion.

Manoj,
Gajendra Singh seems to get some sadistic pleasure by getting innocent contestants insulted. Earlier innocent Ishmeet was repeatedly insulted in the worst possible manner by Abhijeet, lalit Pandit & Aadesh Shrivastav.
Now cute/little Prakriti is facing the music. Though she has not been racially targetted like Ishmeet, but Kunal Ganjawala should be more sensitive in dealing with a little girl.
Kunal Ganjawala thinks himself to be a too big person.
He even insulted Ishmeet when he came to launch his album in Chotte Ustaad. He said to Ishmeet”Tumhe milega utna hi jitna tum deserve karte ho”. Now is this the way to speak to a guest in the show.
Kunal Ganjawala is high on Ganja it seems.

On the 14th and 15th, in all 3 of the songs Aishwarya was better than Anwesha to varying degree. For the first time, I listened to the songs without looking at the screen. I deliberately kept my eyes closed. To this day, I don’t know what happened on the screen during these songs.
For the song on the 14th, Anwesha was very good but Aishwarya was fantastic. What reach and sweep of voice she’s got.
On the 15th, Anwesha’s performance was much below. As usual, Aishwarya fully deserved all the praise she got.
Supporters of Aishwarya, Come on, don’t be passive. Let’s not allow this blog to be taken over by the Bengali fanatics. Come on, post messages of support for Aishwarya, genuinely the best of the best.

I am not against bengalis, but what I meant was like Bengalis hv the right to win, Punjabis and others hv similarly right to win these contests. For example in Saregamapa all bengalis r winning again & again. Here i must tell u , I also voted for Aneek.
Ishmeet had a soft,melodious and original voice. Still everybody is putting him down for reasons – you know what i mean?
If i can support Aneek, why can’t u support Ishmeet or Rohanpreet. Thats my point.

Star TV & judges are really fooling public. Public voting is a joke. Public do not know who is getting vote & how many etc. Waste of money & time.
Someone wrote earlier too that these episodes are taped,edited & played later. Even Vyom’s Mom requested to Gajindra not to edit her comments. So, everything is done on the show for some purpose.
Btw, Shreya & Kunal have been rude to Prakriti so many times before too. Shreya was criticizing her left & right in previous show also. Only at this stage of the competition we see more criticism of judges by viewers. Prakriti is also a good singer.She is in top 3.
Lets see what is next stored for viewers.
Anwesha & Prakriti or Ashwariya & Prakriti

I do agree with you that Kunal and Shreya are giving unpalatable comments to Prakriti, But I guess this is because of the singing calibre of hers vis-a-vis A+A. However, they should do it properly and not humiliate her in public.
But
HOW COME she is Nepali, she may be from Nepli descent but is very much Indian comming from Darjling in W. Bengal and not from Nepal.

Attn; Mr. Gajendra Singh – I am writing this message from the Maldives.
I am a fan of VOM from the start. Here in the Maldives, VOM was watched by every one. I just though of writing to you my views on VOM.
1- Dissappointment: Senior Level, we missed a wonderful singer like JOSHI.
2- During 14th & 15th March show, the way the judges behaved, shameful. I never expected this from Kunal and Shreya. In the meantime, Pritam and Adesh, commented on Prakriti on her performance. Superb judgement by both of them.
Kunal and Shrey, what are thinking of themselves ?. Too big ?. No way, may be they are worried that more and more young and new talents are entering the bollywood.
I agree that Anvesha and Aishwarya are far better than Prakiriti. But, this is not the way to humilate that poor girl. She has done her best. What else can she do ?. I was watching, Kunal and Shreya commenting on this poor girls performance very rudely. Un acceptable. What ever it is, she has come to the final 3. If they are the real judges, they would have given good comments on this girl. But, the way Kunal came out, I was shocked. Why he want to compare with others ?. He called her a pop star ?. No harm, what is the differnce between a pop star and a bollywood play back singer like Kunal ?. Let’s take Usha Udoop. What a wonderul lady with golden voice ?. They are singers who can appreciated other singers. But, Kunal ?. I had a high thinking of Kunal and now it has shattered.
I am totally against his comments towards Prakirti. Shame.
Kunal and Shreya, openly supported Aishwarya and Anvesha. This is not done. As judges, they should be neutral.
Anyway, Gaj, plese select the judges for your next show taking all these comments on mind.
Wish you all the best for your good work. Keep going…

Aishwarya and Out of SOOR?
She is one briliant contestant of Chhote Ustaad who took Atiuttam by all 3 judges with a smile on her face. If you have even a little sense of what indian music is, you will have to accept that she was Sarvottam in that rendition.
It was Anwesha who started crying after receiving atiuttam from Pritamda on her totaly flat singing. Wrightly some one said in this forum. “She sang without any feeling and was standing there to receive best of the comments as usual”.
Aishwarya is standing on the podium of Chhote ustaad with her sheer talent and regular riyaaz which judges have recognised lately.

ALL SAID AND DONE THE DIRECTOR AND THE JUDGES HAD NO OTHER OPTION BUT TO RATE PRAKRITI’S PERFORMANCE AS MEDIOCRE IN COMPARISON TO THAT OF AISHWARYA AND ANWESHA AS EVERY KNOWLEDGEABLE MUSIC LOVER KNOWS THAT THE STANDARD OF AISHWARYA AND ANWESHA IS MUCH MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT OF PRAKRITI.AISHWARYA AND ANWESHA ARE TRAINED SINGERS WITH VERY WIDE EXPOSURE AND ALMOST EVERYONE WOULD LIKE TO SEE FINAL COMPETITION BETWEEN AISHWARYA AND ANWESHA.
.IF TODAY PRAKRITI IS THERE IN TOP 3 IT IS SOLELY BECAUSE OF MASSIVE VOTING IN HER FAVOUR. ALMOST EVERY SECOND PERSON ON THIS BLOG IS POINTING OUT UNDESERVING CONTESTANTS DECLARED AS WINNERS IN THE PAST. EVEN WHEN THERE WAS NO PUBLIC VOTING MANY A TIME JUDGES SELECTED THEIR OWN FAVOURITES RATHER THAN THE DESERVING ONE .EVEN THE LEGEND ANIL BISWAS COMMITTED A BLUNDER IN ONE OF THE SHOWS;HE WAS CARRIED AWAY BY A SAIGHAL NUMBER THOUGH ONE FEMALE CONTESTANT SHRADHA FROM PUNJAB BETTERED NOORJEHAN’S RENDITION “KIS TARAH BHOOLENGE HUM UNKA KHAYAL AAYA–”I HAVE WATCHED RECORDINGS OF TEN YEARS OF GAJENDRA SINGH’S SHOWS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND CAN POINT OUT REPEATED BUNGLING BY THE JUDGES..JUDGES ARE ARE ALSO HUMAN BEINGS AND ARE THEREFORE NOT INFALLIBLE.
KINDLY REFRAIN FROM ATTACKING YOUNG SHREYA AND GENTLEMAN KUNAL . THEY HAD THEIR OWN COMPULSIONS TO UPGRADE AISHWARYA AND ANWESHA TO SAVE THEM FROM POSSIBLE ELIMINATION.THEIR ONLY FAULT WAS THAT THEY BEHAVED RATHER RUDELY. THEY COULD HAVE CONVEYED THEIR GRADATION IN DIPLOMATIC MANNER.
SHREYA IS HIGHLY TALENTED AND AT PRESENT SHE IS AMONG THE TOP PLAYBACK SINGERS.SHE RECEIVED TRAINING FROM KALYANJI OF KALYANJI-ANANDJI DUO FOR A FEW YEARS AND USED TO PERFORM IN KAYANJI’S SHOWS.SHE HAS WORKED WITH DEDICATION BACKED BY FULL SUPPRT OF HER PARENTS.

well! i am from darjeeling too…..and a nepali-indian. i am not here to defend or speak on behalf of prakriti…….but the way u guys are commenting and jump into the tug of war point one’s identity…i wanna make few questions to first….so called herself cultured indian sangeeta…..
miss sangeeta as u have doubt and rudely commented about the identity of darjeeling people….let me ask u something…..do u indeed know either history or geography of india????if u are reallly aware with it then u wouldn’t dare to question about our identiy…..and as u said uncultured people….plez ask the government to throw away all the gorkhas..who in ur sense is uncultured…who is always there at the peak of kargil and other zone to secure ur safety from intruders…..
as u said u r proud to be cultured part of india…..where there is no room for love….and ur parents have to buy dulha (groom) for u…and if ur parents can’t afford to buy dulha in proper price…..they give away kerosene prices to ur in-laws- to give u mukti from this world…and..inorder to be gori gori u’ll always have brainstrom to be know the nuskha of how to be fair…..well! congratulation to u for that…..and i am very happy to be part of uncultured society like ours where we value love….n we dun have to pay price or buy dulha….and our parents might not be rich….but not garib to buy and give kerosene/gasoline to give us mukti from aurro ke hathon….kyon???? pura uncultured na?????
well! well! biswas ji….u wrote so much thing praising anvesh and aishwarya….kunal and shreya….and also try to be sarcastic toward voting craziness of my people……
well! let me remind u……it is not the people of darjeeling who threatened Gajji or so called talented judges to choose and place Prakriti as top 11 contestants of SVOI…..
if judges really think she doesn’t deserve to be where she is standing now…..then why the hell they choose her to be one of the top contestants???? if being trained is the essence of the show…..y do they have to pick her at the first and later humilate poor kid infront of whole world showing the pathetic mentality of themselves????
ya…as u said…i too totally agreed…if they really think…..people voting is not fair…then y the hell they dun stop this kinda tamasha???? its not just 14th and 15th show….but right from the beginnning we could see and sense very well……how these people wanted either aishwarya or anvesha to be winner……then y they have to prolong the show by bringing new kid…..and then again bringing back prakriti wid public voting when she was already out????
welll! biswasji…….if possible let Shreya…and Kunal read the books on ethics….and especially handover them the dictionary to read and know the meaning of “JUDGE”.
i once again….ask people like sangeeta…….try to think like real indian if u can…..know first what constitution and preamble says….about indian…….before u spill out ur sick mentality towards certain race and people…
and biswas….i dun think u have right to appeal people not to vote for whom they want……if u think u prefer somebody…just spend ur money and vote for her…and raise some campaign to help u do the same……instead of writing against the one who do so….
coz the program itself is…for public voting….or else protest and raise the campaign against the such programs that encourage people to be dishonest…and show thier sentiments for thier people…..

Becaause Anwesha is a much better singer than Prakriti.Aishwarya is not that good a singer but better than Prakriti. They want to see the best singers at the top.

We want her to WIN. But to win all she needs is our FULL SUPPORT in VOTING and not in blogging.
If people can not see what this little girl is made of- it is their bad luck! Her nature, her supportive and cultured-positive background and her versatility.She has shown this in the variety of songs that she has displayed in the show. All the respected Guests-music related could see it. It is ok if others can not see these qualities and keep blogging against her.
Let us try and get her maximum no of votes in the finals.

West Bengal is a small state which produced such good talents not only for India but for the world and you all have ignored our state over and over the years. When rest of the province in India get such a huge budget for their development and we get nothing and you do not feel bad because that is not your state/province. And you all say with you bad mouth “kalkatta pe to kuch bhi nahi hain sirf lal zanda” Are akal ke dushamono! hoga keyeshe tumhare jeyeshe peyshe tode hi na milta hain West Bengal ko reform karne ke liye? Lekin Jalane ka time pe aaplog sab se aage ho…Bengalis are this they are that!

Also would like to add that Prakriti’s Aunt on the show has shown great restraint and demure behaviour even under some conditions that in the past have caused outburts by parents and relatives of singing contests.
I really hope though that atleast once she would calmly tell the judges that some of their comments are excessive and damaging to anyone more so to a child.
Well Good luck to all contestants.
I hope the fans will not have to witness anymore drama and major humiliations given to any children in the last two episodes or so that are left.

Please give positive comments about the contestant that you are a die hard fan of. Support them further by buying their CD with your money when it comes out ok.
Stop saying terrible things about the other contestants that you do not like.
Come on we are not all the same. Everyone has their own tastes and preferences.
PEACE!!!!!!!

Chote ustad fan!
Where did you get such kind of thing? Who told you that we are not aware of Darjeeling and its in West Bengal, I belong to West Bengal and I know about my state, I had been to Darjeeling 5 -6 times. The orginal inhabitants are the people from Nepali origin, thats true. But I think they do not want to be associated with India plus West Bengal, that is why they keep on saying Jai Ghrokhaland? Why cannot they Jai West Bengal? Ask the local people over there not me or anybody! Why cannot Prikriti ask people of West Bengal to vote for her? Ek baar maang ke to dekho! She is also the daughter of the same soil where I was born. Only few kilometers away.
I am also telling you people Prakriti has very sweet voice I have nothing against her,she needs a little bit training she can oneday bring name and fame for West Bengal for sure. The comparision is here only becuase of the other two participants, they took over Parkriti probably as they are little more trained. I am also not sure if you have traning schools in Darjeeling unlike kolkata. Not in every part of West bengal you have such kind of schools , people from rural areas of west bengal they travel all the way to kolkata to get tarining from the Pandits. But I beleive for Prakriti she is yet to samll by age to do so, Her parents should move to a good place where they can provide such facilities.

The contestants are often given difficult songs to sing in Gajendra Singh’s CHHOTE USTAD show. May I ask how many difficult songs The Melody Queen Lata Mangeshkar sang in her entire career to be acknowledged as the greatest ever playback singer?
The socalled difficult songs are all either remixes or lifted from some foreign source. Lata Mangeskar’s every rendition is unique. It is quality of her voice ,her hard work, her dedication, her knowledge of classical ragaas which has made her complete singer.The composers of her time -NAUSHAD,C.RAMCHANDRA,MADAN MOHAN ,SHANKAR-JAIKISHAN,KHEMCHAND PRAKASH, SD BURMAN ,RD BURMAN ,RAVI,SAJJAAD HUSSAIN etc. were all masters in art of film music unlike to-day’s composers who do not possess even 10% talent of erstwhile composers.It is all noise and nothing else. The true music lovers are repeatedly condemning the selection of songs in Chhote Ustad show.
It appears Gajendra Singh has also lost sense of real melody and has adopted foreign culture. The ace director has gone astray and is destroying the great Indian legacy of classical ragaas and is running after cheap adulterated music which has been disliked by discening music lovers who still like classics sung by LATA MANGESHKAR.If gajendra Singh continues with this trend some other channel will soon start real music show which will bring back the melody and Singh will become history.

Don’t live under delusions. let me remind you anvesha never received a single ‘attiuttam’. check your fanaticism,which is symbolic of your biased nature.
Aishwarya has received attiuttams many times. that cleary shows who is inferior. she is here only because of judges’ patronsing towards her. she is nothing compared to anvesha, geetashri and sonia

Oh really? Now stop these rascist comments. Otherwise bengalis would not receive so much appreciation on talent shows. in every talent show, we have talent from dif.. regions and often enough bengalis are at the top.
Its not just here, but in other fields also. And I don’t think you are who you pretend to be, because bengalis and north-east people get elong very well. Don’t try to create false enemity between them

stop being teacher and teach us wad we have to do..??? yes, we are ethinically nepali and but due to geographical and historical factor we have to accept our identity as indian…..its not us who do not want to identify ourselves as indian….but foremost of all it is becoz of the sick attitude of bengoli people like u….we hate to be under west bengal government….wad does west bengal government has done so far darjeeling…??? except the fact treating us worse than than step mother…..yes..we are proud to be called “Gorkhali” as our ancestors were “Gorkhali” and are still serving as number one regiment in indian army as “Gorkha Regiment”…..
Jai Gorkha…..Jai Gorkhaland…..just send ur pic…and then come to darjeeling…we will show u…understand the difference between cultured and uncultured people…
wad do u mean by shifting to good place….when u suggest prakriti’s parents???…..which good place do u live??? sona gachi or near by?????
i heard these cultured people in sona gachi (galli)learn to sing with taan pura right from year or two….do u live and learn in such a good and professional place?????
dun try to mask ur racist face under the skin of so called musical knowledge or pacca fan of true music….one can smell the rat easily when u write comments in bengoli to biswas….and seeking his company in ur racist movement….
well! i could easily feel how sick u r……..u wanna spill ur prejudice towards darjeeling….nepali origin people…..and u use this blog….and above all a little innocent girl….as every child is pure as an angel to express ur sick mentality??? how cruel and pathetic u r…….
of course what can i expect from the cold and stone hearted so called cultured people like u…..whose heart will not shake even a little to take life of someone’s daughters and sisters….for the sake of dowry……how could such cold people would have pity or sympathy with little girl….when she is mentally tortured and wounded by so called “judges”…….kunal called prakriti…a pop star…..how the hell he forget that he started as pop star too???? i dun think kunal’s bheege hoth came before his chandawe ghar aajawe…..shit to looser like him…..let us talk about genre and versatility…..i challange kunal to sing classic song like “kuch na kaho” by kumar sanu….and “pahela nasha” by udit narayan……i know…he will be croaking like a frog in the monsoon….
well! shreya too…..beggin’ two three awards doesn’t mean she is asha bhosle……i bet…if she could sing asha bhosle’s any song and show us she is a versatile singer…..okie leave asha……tell her to sing sunidhi’s song…..i bet…..ushki nani yaad aajayegi…..as a train singer she might sing sunidhi’s song…or asha’s but when it comes for melody…..i think……she’ll never be able to sing ever after her first attempt…
well! too much west bengal ki bengolian sangeeta….stop using blog like this to express ur sick racist mentality…..if u really got the guts to face us….then come….i’ll show who is kitni gutsy….
we know how to fight in the every battle field of life…….prakriti is the daughter of gorkha…..she’ll fight till the end and will be one to finish the game too !!!

I personally feel it will be ideal to give one particular song to all the three contestants and then judge their talents so that it will be easy to find the differences. Since we all agree all the three voices are equally good. We can Judge who will do better.

I want to adress a couple of things in my post here.
http://www.mapsofindia.com/maps/india/india-political-map.htm
Here is the map of India people of this forum who claim to be sooooo proud of India please take a look seems like you don’t know your own country and its people well.
And heres a video I found on u-tube of Mizo idol. Yes there is a place called Mizoram in your country and they don’t look like what you expect a typical Indian to via your Bollywood movies. I know some Mizo friends in delhi
who say they face a lot of racism and rude remarks in their daily life. Even educated people in India keep asking them where they are from and when they say Mizoram….they are like which country is that. Not even which state but which country. Its always a daunting task explaining to people that they are indeed from India, born and brought up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dietM3zSAwY
Song from a participant in Mizo Idol.
I hope atleast a few music lovers in this forum will enjoy watching it.
There are many other cultures in the North-east. Most of them are not into Bollywood movies and songs. So they have no clue about chote ustad to be bothered about using their hard earned money to vote for a girl from West Bengal (from a teeny town in WB -Darjeeling). Atleast in Mizoram I am aware of the fact that they are primarily into gospel christian singing, songs from their own mother tongue and English rock songs. Only Manipur among those places in the above map might be interested in Hindi music. This is because they have a developing film, tele film industry that Sai media has taken interest in and used very hindi music styles of cinematography and formats.
So please stop dragging North east into it.
Some people say even east india. What east India???? Stop creating factions from the figments of your racist imagination.
And please don’t say stuff like ohhhh they are into English songs …our culture is going down etc etc..and blah blah…..everyone has their own love for music you cannot control that. And people in Darjeeling fortunatly or unfortunately looooove hindi music even though they have their own rock bands etc. Can’t help it… if music touches you it does. I for one love music in different genres and languages and even tolerate movies which still have dusra janam and yadash kogaya plots just because I am have been enjoying hindi songs via bollywood since I was a little child. And by the way I have many Indian friends from darjeeling and Calcutta who are not so old school as you.
And if everyone else including your favs are asking for votes in Bengali, Gujrati and from Bhopal. Then why is it so different when Prakriti is asking for votes in her mother tongue.
If you want to be called Kolkotta instead of Calcutta and Chennai instead of madras etc so what if some people in Darjeeling (originally Dorjee-Ling) want to be called
Gorkhas in memory of and identifying with Gurkha soldiers who are famous the world over for their loyalty and bravery. And she kept saying Thank-you Hindustan many many times in the past. But if Hindustan (esp show organizers and narrow minded people on this forum)are not willing to accept her as a hindustani then what do you expect her to feel and say.
Infact she should be bold and confident as she was initially when she used to enjoy singing with pizaaz. She should flatly ask the judges why are you mistreating me. What have I done to you or your family? How does it justify you to drag me around and give me Madyam in a genre that you originally said was my strongest??? Also I did not choose the songs the show did and you know that clearly so why are you scolding me over something I cannot control. Sir/madam with due respect to your past achievements I would like to say that you are giving me and many other people mixed messages and confusing the hell out of our little minds. In the past when I have sung songs from legends like Lataji instead of encouraging me to follow the correct path in my musical journey you have stopped me and given me cheesy numbers like just chill chill. My ultimate humiliation started from the time you made me sing a cheesy number in front of esteemed Ghulam Ali Sahib. Well the things that are way out of wack are too many so many she should just say that she is not stupid and understands the politics being done to her by the show. And send in a letter to all judges and show organizers with every detail of their lies and drama.
The actions and words of these supposed gurus are going to affect people for a long time so it would serve them better karma wise to choose their words and actions wisely not just at the whim of making cheap publicity money for a TV show.
Life in India is changing. But too bad we have to wait for old farts like you with racist minds to get really old and die before seeing any real integration of hindustan and unity among different cultures within this diverse nation.

Dear Angie,
You sound like a fake cultured person. Can you show me where I have ever written that Nepalis are uncultured people? You won’t have to comment on my write-up because to me you are wearing a mask of so called gorkha cultured. Have you seen how your Ghorkha borthers here in this site used all foul languages? Is that you culture? And you? You are also the same, there are so many places in Kolkata but you specified sonagachi that resembles what type of background you come from.!!! You said you are from Darjeeling but you are only aware of Sonagachi- LOL! There are lot of good places in kolkata.
Due you mean to say that all the singers from Bengal, like Hemanta Mukherjee, Manna Dey. Kumar Shanu, Shaan, Babul Suprioyo, recent winners like Aneek, Sanchita etc according to you they all went to sonagachi right! I wont have to tell who is like what your write up says it all.
You asked me about the dowry right? You need to enhance your knowledge of history regarding our Bengali culture we never had dowry system earlier, in due course gradually it also came to our society from neighbouring influence. But yes I condemn the dowry system and appreciate your culture that you do not have dowry system at all. That is good in your culture.Agreed.
But we have lot of other area where we are proud of which you do not have so do not dare to compare. I will be happy if you can provide equivalent names like Rabindra Nath Thakur, Acharya Jagdish Chandra Bose, Amrtya Sen., Satyajit Ray, Kausik basu-Economist, Alok kumar Gupta- Geologist, Partha Chetterjee-Political scientist, Jamini Roy, Nandala Bose , Hrisikesh Mukherjee, Budhaadeb Dasgupta, RD Burman, Debu Choudury, Kazi Nazrul Islam, Vilayat Khan, Bikram Ghosh these are only few names for you knowledge. Oh well you are not aware of them as you may know some one form only from Sonagachi .

People in North east are primarily into Gospel, songs from their mother tongue and rock music from around the world.
Fortunatly or unfortunately people from Darjeeling are into Zee TV, star plus etc and Hindi movies.
If you ask most people from North-East other than Assam or maybe Manipur (since Sai media has started making movies their that follow bollywood format) they will not be interested in hindi movies and hindi telefilms.
So please stop dragging North east into this drama all the time.

A highly educated man, very much accomplished once decided to visit his village of childhood .He went to the riverside and saw the fishermen have been catching fish and resting on the bank same way when he was a child. Everybody paid attention to his presence except one little fisherman family engaged in their cooking, eating and playing with his kids, dozing in-between with the beautiful breeze of padma. He approached him and said “Mahji, if you keep one boat this amount you will make, if two this, if 200 ,then you will be rich like me >take vacations and will ENJOY LIFE” even with this sermon the fisherman kept dozing off and the little kids on his chest were fast asleep > it angered the guest ,so he called the fisherman loud” did you listen?” fisherman replied “yes, I heard you” so the Richman again said “ then, you will enjoy life like me, ok?” fisherman opened his eyes with amaze and asked the Richman” what duo u think I am doing right now?”

And in your other comments you state that you are aware about Darjeeling and have visited 4-5 times. You must be a real hypocrite to give blanket negative comments about Darjeeling people and culture. You claim not to be a racist but when you give comments particularly prejudiced ones about a a whole group of people you are behaving as one.
If have even met one person from Darjeeling you will know how helpful and hospitable they are.

Sorry Doctor Biswas I won’t write anything like that anymore.
But others should also behave like a human.
Why these Gorkhas do not understand that I have nothing against Prakriti, to me she is good and that is why she is there in the competition but her gorkha supporters are using only foul languages. They are not realising the fact that even if someone will think to voting for Prikriti but after going through their comments nobody will vote for her. I said she should be taken to a good place, the gorkha blogger here they even do not know what I am referring to, there are lot of sangeet gharans in our country. Kolkata will be her nearest place, they can go to anywhere in India. I grew up in extreme NE of India so I know that even if you have talent you cannot really cultivate that due to lack of facilities.

Could it have been better if you could have personally communicated to Dr Biswas about your feelings etc for bengali culture ?

Anwesha is very good at singing Sunidhi numbers. Friday she sang Aankhiya na maar – didn’t miss a single beat and sang flawlessly and on Sat she sang Deedar de and did full justice to the song. It is such a difficult song to sing as well, definately the most difficult song of the night. She is beyond awesome! Her voice is also so very different to Sunidhi, it is sweeter and more fresh. I really liked both her Sunidhi renditions more than the original. No disrespect to Sunidhi, she is a great singer and I appreciate her vocal texture, but I prefer Anwesha’s voice alot more.

Hi Arti,
You are correct Darjeeling is in West Bengal and not in NE.Why people bring in such things its not because of geographical location rather it is because of the similar flora and fauna .I grew up in Arunachal Pradesh.All my school friends are from AP. Some of them were so talented I cannot describe , they were so melodious .There are cultural groups formed by government, they usually join there. Also few singers from AP they have gone to Guwahati and performed. But I will be very happy if they get reconization from all over India. The people of AP are also very good at sports. I have spent my childhood plus teenage there and I miss AP so much. I personally feel that Indian government should open a sports education center there especially for archery, volleyball, football and few more sports no one can beat them. May be by this time they have these facilities but it was not there earlier.

OK OK this is one of the 2 scenarios that might happen this week:
1;) Anwesha is out and Prakrithi and Aishwarya stay on!
2:) By now the VOI team would have got the vote count and know for a fact that Anwesha is out and declaring this would create controversy and hence they make it a 3 person finale! Gajman, hungry for money as he is, would highly go for this scenario, so that he can get the Bangla vote 2!!
But no matter what, Aishwarya was/is the Winner, whether she earns it or not!!

Aishwarya will win this competiton no doubt (whether she deserves it or not;-)
You can bet anything that Gajji and his crew will try to make it seem that Anwesha’s talent has suddenly taken a turn for the worse and justify Aishwarya’s victory that way. Just watch out for the judges comments on Anwesha’s performance this Friday.
It has all been pre-decided. This reality show is anything but real.

These BONG fanatics are REALLY REALLY too much. As long as these Bong fanatics don’t rise above state and language, West Bengal will continue to roll in the dumps.
I’m not saying all Bengalis are fanatics, I’m referring to the considerable portion of them who’re fanatics.
Anyway, this blog is converted into a BONG FANATIC CLUB where they can relieve their inferiority complex and frustrations.
Aishwarya’s fans have NEVER indulged in mud slinging against Anwesha or anyone else. Because, like Aish, we’re self confident. Anwesha suffers from acute inferiority complex (apart from inferiority singing in comparison to Aishwarya) and so do her fans
Wish all of the BONG fan(atic)s happy mud slinging

Anvesha, all muslims are with you. We cannot support gujarati asihwarya because she belongs to a state that burnt muslims. Gujaratis are evil. and aishwarya is far worse singer then anvesha. she is on level with vyom, prakrit. even geetasri and sonia are better then her.
We vote online for you, anvesha. you are a true daughter of inida. and you are not coming in scary land nowadays!! Allah is with you.

Who the hell gives you right to write rascist comments like that? You are a typical frusterated fan who knows aishwarya is nowhere near the best anvesha.
if aishwarya had any genuine supporters, it would have been good. But her supporters ae just like her– fake, corrupt, FAT(headed)
Grow up, moron. Take out your frusteration somewhere else. Shreya and shaan, both bengalis, won filmfare awards in playback singing. Kishore kumar, the best singer of india, was a bengali.
Have you seen sharmila tagore in relaity show DHOOM MACHA LE? her grace, her upbringing? That is what you will neevr have.
have you seen rani mukherjee who is best actress of bollywood? have you heard of saryajit ray?
But of course, ignorant people like you are not aware of anything. YOU NEED A PSYCHIATRIST YOU RASCIST.
LIKE IT OR NOT, BENGALIS ARE THE BEST AND YOU CAN GO CRY OVER THAT AS MUCH AS YOU WANT. ALSO AISHWARYA IS ANOTHER PRODUCT OF LESS TALENT, MORE HYPE. just like you

Anonymous, i agree with you. aishwarya will win only because gajji is manipualting stuff.
or else she would not ven have come in top 5. I am sure she is not getting a single vote. i am from Mumbai and all people prefer anvesha’s singing.
anvesha we are with you. We will all defeatgajji and win.
Prakrit also was a nice girl. judges could not give ash madhyam even though they wanted to. So they transfered their frusteration on poor prakriti

I am not Bengali, yet I support Anwesha completely. In my opinion, she is the best talent and deserves to win. Btw, she was fantastic on both days. Her mastery over every genre has been proven time and again, what else is there?
Go Anwesha, we are all with you! You will definately make it to the final two and go on to win the competition with all our support!

For Serious – I roughly analysed the song “Jaane Kya Chahe Man” and found that the original composition (sung by Zubin) is on E Major Scale. Anwesha has sung this song on D Major Scale which is two semitones ( or a whole step) lower. I still feel she was having difficulty with the pitch. But her rendition of the “Alaap” (if at all it can be called so) at around 1:44-1:46 mins of the song was fabulous. She has added some extra notes that I think (not sure) were added by dual voices of Zubin when layered on top of each other in the original. Also I loved the start of the “Antara” i.e “Saghan Anchal …”.. the take off was too smooth since it falls on lower end of the scale. Also she had issue starting the Mukhda again from the Antara at around 2:40- 2:43 mins of the song. I felt she was uneasy with the song and had pitch issues for sure even though it was lowered by a whole step. Not sure what she was going through.
For Dr Biswas – As for your observation that Anwesha has a classical voice, I have slightly different opinion. I think she has a strong classical hold which is her strength but she knows how to modulate the voice and sing. For example, in the “Tauba Tauba” you may notice that Aishwarya has sung in a sweet tone whereas Anwesha’s vocal tone was different and more of Sufi (heavy bass oriented), Also in Deedar De she changed her tone to suit the song. I feel it is important to do that depending on the song. No doubt people like garbage numbers like that but she has to learn or should I say she knows to manipulate her voice and fit it to the occasion, that’s the mark of a singer. The same thing was done by Asha Bhonsle (of course under the baton of one and only ‘Pancham’). In the movie called “Jawani” she modulated her voice to sound like a 16 year old girl which was played by Neelam. There are other examples as well I guess I do not have them right on the top pf my head.
Personally I would want Anwesha to sing all kinds of song but those songs should have a ‘high’ level of difficulty that many cannot render and that she should or I would say she can comfortably render. The other thing that I have observed is , lately she is probably swaying too much during singing, at this stage she should be more focused since these are the last hours of the game. I have a fear that she may be voted out but I will keep my fingers crossed since I agree with Kunal/Shreya that out the three Aishwarya and Anwesha fit the top 2 positions. This is a competition where not only voice but Technical abilities should ideally be counted as well which are in plenty in these two kids.

Anwesha doesn’t suffer from anything but a case of dire mistreatment from some fans of other contestants. She is innocent (as well as other kids) in everything that is happening backstage, discussion forums, blogs..whatever. There is no need to drag in the race card either and imply that her fans are only of Bengali origin (even if they are, who cares?) we are all Indians first! We should be proud of the Indian talent that has been brought forward by this show.

For all people who love Prakriti, they may like to watch the following video online on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo.
In case you do not get to open the video, type “Randy Pausch Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams” in search and you would get the video. I am sure many of you have seen this video before.
There is section in his lecture where he talks “How Important Critics” are in a person’s life. I somehow agree with him, depends on what each individual deciphers. I have a slight disagreement when people term it as “Child Abuse”, I understood that they probably have an understanding that they may get to hear anything (except for bad mouthing that did not happen for sure).
As for Prakriti I liked her honesty and I am sure she realises that she isn’t in the same league as Aishwarya and Anwesha. This realisation if profound will probably take her to new heights. She must learn classical until then she will not have a great grip over songs.
Let’s not strike each other with foul language and try to get to a common understanding of problems/performances in gentle manner.

Hi Avi!
You seem to have quite a bit of musical knowledge. Since you’ve mentioned some of Anwesha’s technical strong points, I’m curious, what do you think are Aishwarya’s vocal/technical strengths?
I’ve observed that lately her control of sur and taal has improved. And she has also learnt to vibrate her voice (we saw this with “karle pyar karle” and “man mohana”). She has also learnt to control her higher notes – as in, she goes in falsetto mode alot less than she used to. But what else? Do you think, techinically she is on par with Anwesha.
My opinion is that, Anwesha has more variety, control (from the beginning) and range in her voice than Aishwarya. I also think she is better at modulating her voice and putting variations into a song and also is better at singing classical songs than Aishwarya. While Aishwarya’s rendition of man mohana was very good, I felt she stopped too many times during the song and ruined the flow of it, atleast for me.

The reason anwesha will still remain in that genre because she is 14yrs.Her voice will go through change with her estrogenic effect. This is the best time to etch the classical notes in her vocal cords.Quality of voice gets the fine tuned with the “rewaj” . by the time she will be 17 yrs she will be ready for the world.I wish her good health.she is getting sick with this long tour.she is lucky that both parents are GOOD PARENTS,VERY SUPPOTIVE.I WISH HER GOOD HEALTH .SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL CHILD,VERY WELL MANNERED,SOFT CHILD. I am trying to get ANUKHSHA (daughter of pandit ravi shankar) to notice her.Anuksha is doing a program”food for hunger, indian children” she went to kolkata.ANUKHSA is crazy about indian talents., a wonderful didi for Anwesha to emulate.

For Dr. Biswas – I am not sure if I understand your point, all I was trying to convey is I think Anwesha should attempt all varities possible irrespective of her current age. She already has a massive classical base and should continue her “Riyaz”. Singing other varities will increase her bandwidth and help her in the future, I am sure she can do it with ease since she knows very well how to jump notes (which is what Classical Music is mostly about). Opening up to different genres at an early age will help her in the implementation of all the classical base she has, she already has a lot of ground work done, ofcourse there is no end to it.

Hello,
No matter what the result of this reality show is there is one thing that one needs to answer is whose voice would you like to listen to in the future albums. Whose albums would you buy ?
Aishwarya has shown tremendous improvement during the last few episodes and she has a very good voice. If she undergoes good training in the next few years especially in high notes and treble, she is here to stay. She will have to learn about breathing as well. She seemed to be out of breath in a few songs. But she has shown during the course of the show that she is a fast learner and she is a very extrovert person which makes her a very likeable character.
But what to say about Anwesha…… she is supreme talent. Every rendition is like .. wow. Is this the original singer or her in a reality show ? The mere fact that you have to think and relisten to see for mistakes makes her a winner. Be it classical, remix, fast numbers even offbeat number like “Haan maine chookar dekha hai” or Ila Arun number she has carried each and every song with elan. She does have problems with western like songs especially with pronounciation at times as pointed out by kunal ganjawalla but she will learn that very easily as she has great control over her breathing and voice.
I am sure there will be differences between fans and as most fight it out over who will go to top 2 or win the final the end of the show will make you think again ‘whose albums would you like to buy in the future?’.
For me the answer is simple ……… Anwesha Dutta Gupta.

As far as Prakriti is concerned i think she knows herself where she lies in the competition as far as the talent is concerned. And the fact that she knows that and she accepts that on the program is real guts by this a young kid. This shows that she has been brought about in the right way by her parents. To know that and accept that is a great quality.
Whether she learns Indian Classical music and develops the control over her sweet voice or she is lost to the oblivion after this show depends on how she goes about doing it for the next few years. She is very young and has a lot of time on her side and i am sure by interacting with kids who have undergone training she realises what she needs to learn.
Votes or no votes ….. chhote ustaad or not …… She has a long way to get to the goal of becoming a playback singer.

Unless there is last minute change /revision in format of the show allowing all the three performers to participate in grand finale at Mumbai on 5th April the Friday’s performance could be the last appearance for Prakriti.
The entire World salutes this brave child of BHARAT.Throughout this programme young PRAKRITI HAS WEATHERED all storms and if there is any award for the “BEST BEHAVIOUR” it will undoubtedly go to

Gajendrabhai hereafter please do not ask the participants to sing difficult songs to prove their talent . LATA MANGESHKAR THE LIVING LEGEND NEVER ASKED COMPOSERS TO COMPOSE DIFFICULT SONGS TO PROVE HER TALENT.The power lies in vocal chords and not in noisy pop number.
Whenever a performer renders a complicated /adulterated tune all the judges start showering praises .Instead they should say ” (besura) mushkil gaana aap ne achhi tarah se gaya aapne to usko char chand laga diya aur zyaada besura bana diya!” wah jeete raho aap mere film main gaoge ek (besura) gana.

You have analyzed it really well. Many a times, Anwesha sings better than the original. On a number of occasions, she has sung songs which were originally sung by more than one person – for example Ga Re Man (which I think was sung by two male and two female singers), Morni Baga mein (by Lata Mangeshkar and Ila) etc. Singing such songs requires complete voice control, which Anwesha has done superbly.

Surprising! How come Anwesha in Bangla should be written “Annesha”. Totally incorrect! In bengali, it’s “n”+”b” (from “anweshan”). So, I strongly feel, the correct spelling is “Anwesha” as per Bangla.
Btw, I’m a super huge fan of Anwesha and to all folks like me in USA, you can vote for her from http://indya.com on Saturdays and Sundays your time.
Anwesha – you are the best!! You have to win! otherwise meaning of music will be lost! Also, you have to win in the years to come! Strongly pray and hope that you become a huge singing star! Also, I like your simplicity and the fact that you are never “acting” for votes. You don’t have to! your songs tell it all. Some other contestant, who are not so good with singing needs to talk about “main ladki hu poori hindustan-ki” bla bla bla.. but you don’t have to!

I have one thing to say after watching the last episode is that ANWESHA has no competiton! Just listen to her voice modulation in her 2 songs. In “Deedar de’ she sounds so strong and the lower notes are so difficult- perfectly done.Most singers go besura in lower notes. While in ‘kaanta laga’ she sounds so sweet – again perfect. She is the most versatile singer who can sing any kind of songs with perfection and ease. Anwesha you are definitely the CHHOTE USTAAD for me. True music lovers please vote for ANWESHA!

Me and SERIOUS realized it long ago that there is no point arguing with Mr Biswas. If you want to keep on arguing with him you will have to fall down to his low level which i dont think is a good idea in this blogsite of nice people. He is just a frustrated “bengali american” guy and not an indian who is shedding frystration of so many years on this blogsite. i have no clue what he is doing in this website for voice of india where contestants sing hindi songs. if hindi is not a language of his level he should better go to voice of bengal.
So my suggestion to you is to concentrate on music and just ignore his comments. ignoring his comments is the best option for our health.

honestly speaking..i never say bad ever in this forum…but the last episode was pathetic…not because of the contestant..the judges were very much partial….if they are here to give their own verdict openly criticising Prakriti..then there is no differnce between general public and them..In case,they are not happy,,they should point out things that Prakriti needs to improvise rather than openly criticising her..Friends,I AM NOT FROM ASSAM..BUT ORISSA and presently in Singapore..so plz don’t think me putting my views to support somebody..I do agree Aishwarya and Anwesha are better to Prakriti..but the attitude of the judges need to be reviewed and rectified.

Referring to some comments above that says “Hindi is a Substandard Language”, is it ethical then to watch a show thats then aired in the same language where people sing in that language ? Can any language be called as substandard ? May be in the past some people from a particular region did well but that perhaps does not mean people from other region are not good.

charles, don’t you think Prikriti needs to go, however, people like you are supporting a non signer in teh musical show. As far as Kunal is concerned he proved himself in few songs – no one can even touch his style. Shreya is better than anyone you name in the film industry. I love Prakriti as a model but as a singer Nope. Other two girls are the best.

F_ _ _ KUNAL
DONT LISTEN TO HIM ANYMORE
i am a regular viewer of chote ustad. Although i am from nepal i always liked asworya and vyom as per singing. I do liked prakriti a lot as she is so sweet but she is not as the same level as others in singing i do accept that.
but its a competition and everybody is fighting. so prakriti has the right to fight it too. the judges can give her mark as they think she deserves. but they have no right to humiliate her on the stage specially a child. Kunal i used to like his voice and used to hear him a lot. But you know what his nature had disappointed me so much i hate his songs and threw all his cds. A celebrity needs more than talent, a good nature which he dont have. Kunal and Shreya may be good singers but they are not good human beings. How can they be so cruel on a 12 year child.
How can they make her cry before she sang her second song.They demoralised her.
This is not a reality show this is a pre planned show. To make money playing with a childs tear is bad Mr Gajji, Mr Kunal and Ms Shreya.. By the way why shreya and kunal always give same points to all contestant. Why we need an extra Judge ..
Lets stop these kind of shows…

Hi Dr. Biswas – May be I am not as ‘Intelligent’ as you are, I cannot co-relate my comments posted on “2008-03-18 18:59:19″ with the undp Human Development site you have referred to. From what I understand as per statistics (from survey) India ranks 128th in terms of Human Development considering a number of parameters. Do you see anything there that talks about ‘Hindi’ language being substandard. Can you please highlight those in case I have missed. My whole call was that you seemed to say “Hindi is a substandard language” but then you also watch the VOI show that is aired in the same language, if you hate and underestimate the language so much why watch it ? I mean thats how I understand. May be you have different opinion.

Looking at all these comments.
Devkishin & Drakbiswas are true fan of Anwesha.
Drakbiswas started criticizing judges once he heard Pritam saying ” Kachua & Khargosh” . What an irony, Kunal & Shreya were rude to Prakriti in so many episodes before 15 march,08 show.

So you think it is the Language “Hindi” that is the cause of Hindi Belt’s Backwardness ? Language is important for a civilization but I think you cannot rate or say that a language is substandard. Hindi just like Bangla is derived from Sanskrit. Can you tell me what Bangla Language has that Hindi does not ? Have you read Hindi Sahityas by Munshi Premchand,Mahadevi Verma,Makhanlal Chaturvedi, Jayashankar Prasad or Poetries by Harivansh Rai Bachchan for example ? Do you see anything that they lack or anything that they could not convey in their subject? Isn’t English derived from Spanish which majority of the Mexicans speak ? I am not sure if speaking spanish is the cause of some mexican kids not able to cope up with their studies etc.
May be your common sense and the common sense of others do not match but that does not mean you have a better one ‘coz their is no universal judgement.

Yep I need a spoon ‘coz you say ‘Hindi’ is a substandard language, talk about UNESCO and post a link to UNDP ? What logic is that ? THE UNDP link does not state anything about HINDI. Either you should not have posted a link to UNDP or not talked about UNESCOor have co-related with substantial written evidence that ‘HINDI’ is a substandard language. You are the only one who says HINDI is a substandard language and nowhere else it has been documented as a ‘Substandard’ Language. You say Hindi is a substandard language because you have not read any Hindi Sahityas and have read many Bangla Literatures, what logic is that ? Without reading or understanding of the language in totality how can you conclude generically ? Just because some people got Noble Prize ? Has the person who got Noble prize said Hindi is a Substandard Language ?
Man I guess may be I am younger and less matured than you but you smell of over pride at this matured age (that actually surprises me).

I told Sangeeta not to write anything in Bangla because many of other members or bloggers would not comprehend as they do not speak the language ? What’s wrong in that ? This is not a Bangla Forum right ? If out of 100 people only 10 speak Bangla and they post something in Bangla to the entire forum does it make sense ? A common language (here I guess it would be English) should “IDEALLY” be the medium of expressing your thoughts, ofcourse you can express you thoughts in your native language personally to ther other person who speaks the same language. That’s all was my concern. I felt that was the proper way and followed by 99% of the other forums anywhere in the world. Sangeeta understood the same replied in an extremely polite way, that showed she has a “thinking” mind and decent demeanour.

Thevagabondheart – I do agree with your comments above. Contrustive Criticism is must which is I think what happened in this case. I guess this show is not only about voice (that all three have) it is “also” about technical capabilities (that only Aishwarya and Anwesha have in plenty and much much more than Prakriti). I think prakriti realises this and if she honestly works on it who knows she may even be greatest singing thing to happen in India. At this moment, she is not in the same league as Aishwarya and Anwesha I guess. I think musically learned people will agree to that she lack technicalilties in her singing. But anyways she has a long long way to go and it is just the start and not an end.

You really seem to have good knowlege in music. I liked your analysis of Jaane kya chahe mann – I think Anwesha sounded slightl;y uncomfortable with the pitch because she was not too familiar with that song but I could be wrong. I have learnt from a reliable source that She had no control on song selection lately when another contestant had some control.
But like drc I would like to know your opinion about Aishwarya’s vocal/technical abilities.
Personally I think Anwesha has a very strong voice which she can modulate according to the need and that in my opinion is the trademark of a real good singer. Aish has improved alot recently and she is good but not outstanding. And technically I think Anwesha is far better. Please let us know your opinion. Thanks

@Serious,sunilllbasha and drc –
I think there is a very narrow line of division between Aishwarya and Anwesha and it is kind of difficult to determine who outshines the other. They both have extreme solid grasp of Hindustani Classical. None of them are I guess ‘Carnatic’ trained (I may be wrong, it’s just my understanding from whatever classical stuff they sing) which is a different league. Aishwarya has a more rounded voice with a nice soft tone. Anwesha on the other hand has sharp edgy voice with considerable treble tone. Different voices at times suit different genres or songs of the same genres depending on the composition. So they may both fit the same in some song and then they may not in some other. Because of this roundedness in Aishwarya’s voice ‘murkiyaans’ are ‘sometimes’ not blatant, meaning the notes slip “quickly” from one to the other like say a “more of a tangent to the circle” and not a “Chord to the cirle”, if I were to draw an analogy but this also I guess sometimes becomes song specific. On the other hand you may notice in the case of Anwesha, Murkiyaans are clean more often and give you the feel that the she is able to walk on the notes and does not slip from one to the other. Both of them I have feeling have breathing issues but I guess that will eventually go as they mature. Aishwarya’s roundedness sometimes score very heavily specially for songs that are soft and romantic in nature. On the other hand Anwesha’s voice perfectly fits high octave bhajans, jazzy numbers (like oo-Lala), Item Numbers (as they are referred to) and may be specific romantic numbers as well since she can modulate her voice. I haven’t seen Aishwarya doing a voice modulation (If you seen such please let me know)which I think is a sharp contrast between the two.If you notice the start of ‘Tauba Tauba’ song that the duo sang when Emran Hashmi was the guest, you will see that Anwesha’s voice superceded Aishwarya’s vocals in the begining, again that may just be the fact that they sang it that way but the usually Anwesha’s vocals are louder than Aishwarya’s. Also I feel Aishwarya may not have the same range as Anwesha meaning she may not be able to reach higher octaves as much as Anwesha can. For me both of them are winners, it is very difficult for me to pick one of them may be because I am not that musically literate to find more nuances that can demarcate them on a greater level.

Excellent analysis. Though I have no background in classical music and i havent learned music at all but i always get a feeling that anvesha has much bigger range than aishwarya. aishwarya’s voice is very suitable for classical and romantic songs but i think anvesha excels in those types of songs too. I personaly would give an edge to Anvehsa. though my opinion is just as someone who listens to indian music a lot and I am not an expert so anybody can differ. This is just my humble opinion.
Thank you again for your insightful comments. it is really nice to have someone like you around who really has nice knowledge of music.

Great analysis Avi!
Thank you so much for taking the time to dissect the difference between these two for all us crazy, curious, musically-retarded folk:-)
Your analysis simply backs up my original claim that Anwesha indeed has the ability to modulate her voice (unlike Aish), has more range and is suited to sing songs of all genres (also her harkats are far clearer) – and though Aishwarya has improved tremendously over the course of this show, she is still no where near Anwesha, in terms of technical prowess!

FOR DEAR RONNIE:
I AM FAN OF EVERYONE. JUST GO TO INDIVIDUAL BLOGS OF ANWESHA PRAKRITI VYOM AND OF COURSE AISHWARYA AND READ MY ENCOURAGING COMMENTS. I CANNOT CRITICISE YOUNG CHILDREN AS IT IS NOT IN MY BLOOD . I ALWAYS SUPPORT THE WEAK THE UNDER DOG. I NEVER USE FOUL LANGUAGE AS SO MANY INTELLECTUALS AND HIGHLY EDUCATED PERSONS HAVE BEEN DOING HERE.
I HIT BACK WITH ALL THE FORCE AT MY COMMAND WHEN SOMEONE TRIES TO PULL MY LEG WITHOUT ANY VALID REASON.
FOR ME THE MUSIC WHICH IS IN SUR AND TOUCHES YOUR SOUL IS GOOD MUSIC THE REST IS ALL NOISE WHICH IF YOU LISTEN TO FOR LONG PERIOD IT MAY WELL AFFECT YOUR HEALTH ADVERSELY .IT IS REPORTED THAT COWS GIVE MORE MILK WHEN THEY ARE EXPOSED TO GOOD MUSIC . IF YOU MAKE COWS LISTEN TO ADULTERATED POP NUMBERS THEY WILL STOP GIVING YOU ANY MILK.
I STILL MAINTAIN THAT THE DUET QAWAALI FROM FILM MUGHAL-E-AZAM SUNG BY ANWESHA AND AISHWARYA IS THE BEST PIECE IN THE ENTIRE PROGRAMME OF VOI SO FAR. ANWESHA WAS SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN AISHWARYA BUT CERTAINLY NOT A CLEAR WINNER . PERSONNALY I AM NOT IN A POSITION TO ASSERT THAT BETWEEN ANWESHA AND AISHWARYA WHO IS MORE TALENTED OR BETTER PERFORMER . BOTH HAVE THEIR INDIVIDUAL STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES .THE ONE WHO CLICKS ON DAY OF JUDGEMENT WILL RUN AWAY WITH TITLE OF CHHOTE USTAD . HOWEVER, PROMISING FUTURE LIES AHEAD FOR BOTH THESE CHARMING AND TALENTED SINGERS . HAD I BEEN IN FILMS I WOULD HAVE GIVEN THEM BREAK AS SINGING STARS.

wow!!! avi great ….. u have covered everything ….
one thing I just want to add … i.e. expression… I think aish is bit better in this case … I dont know the definition of expression but I do feel… ( if you listen to ” yeh kaha aa gaye hum… ” in one part it is … ” hui aur bhi moolayem …” when lataji sings “moolayem” automatically u understand what is meaning of moolayem….)
But avi thanx for giving this beautiful blog… thanx dr..

why Dam judges hat prakriti as viewers are loving to her. the judges have racial profile in their mind. But I live Abhas. Prakriti is just 12 yrs old. what you do more expect that what she is going now. The other two singer are excellent but judges seem more hars to Prakriti.

It would be interesting to watch if the final 2 would be allowed to select their own songs, if so, which songs they would select!
For Aishwarya, I would suggest to select songs that have a hint of naughtiness in them, as I feel she really enjoys singing those songs and that shows on her face while she is singing.
For Anwesha, I would suggest to select songs are 1.) popular among mass folks (she seldom has sung songs which are popular tunes, when compared to Aishwarya) 2.) a slightly classical based ones (her voice seriously outshines Aishwarya’s in these numbers).
Hopefully, there would be a round of Qawalli, where they musically taunt each other, it would be fun to watch (Aishwarya’s over-action and Anwesha being cool as a cucumber!) – Aishwarya fans, bring it on
, I am ready to defend my views!
And yes, siree, I will put up my choice of songs that I would love to see these kids sing sometime later!
By Avinash on Mar 19, 2008 | Reply
And yes, I hope neither of these kids sings songs like “Tujhse naraz nahi Zindagi” from Masoom, as this song is one in a handful of song whose lyrics outshines the singer’s singing ability, meaning no matter who and how anyone sings this song, the depth the lyrics (wordings) of this song makes anyone a singer!
I, for one, thought that Amanat’s rendition of this song during the semi-finals of SaReGaMaPa was good but was overrated! Anyways, this is another story and hope I haven’t opened another “hidden” can of worms!

I propose that they have the following rounds in the grand finale.
1) classical 2)film song 3)folk 4)duet and finally 5)a judges choice round.
These were the rounds that Gajendra Singh had in his Saregamapa long time back. Having Aishwaraya and Anwesha sing different songs could make competetion more interesting.Also, multiple rounds always give a contestant a chance to make up.

I disgree with few of the post here.
The Hindi belt covers the following Indian states
Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab.
For all these states Hindi is the main language written in Devangiri script but they have regional language too. Hindi is our National language too. So we must pay respect. Urdu the state language of Jammu and Kashmir is spoken by more than 28 million people in India.. Urdu is written in the Persio – Arabic script and contains many words from the Persian language, this language is very rich by itself.
As few of us are proud of our regional language as it is very rich there is also please do not under estimate Hindi language as substandard. I am providing only few names who are related to Hindi literature
Amir Khusro in the “Hindavi” dialect.
Kabir a major figure of the bhakti movement.
Surdas author of, Sur Sagar etc.
Mirabai author of Mira Padavali etc.
Goswami Tulsidas author of Rmacharitamanas
Keshavdas author of Rasikpriya etc.
Bihari became famous by writing Satasai (Seven Hundred Verses).
Guru Gobind Singh author of Bichitra Natak etc.
Bharatendu Harishchandra, whose works are compiled in Bharatendu Granthavali
Devaki Nandan Khatri author of Chandrakanta etc.
Munshi Premchandra considered one of the greatest Hindi novelists of all time
Maithili Sharan Gupta pioneer of khardiboli poetry
Suryakant Tripathi Nirala
Sumitranandan Pant
Hazariprasad Dwivedi
Mahadevi Varma, one of the “four pillars” of the Chhayavada movement
Ramdhari Singh Dinkar a nationalist poet
Nagarjun
Vishnu Prabhakar
Bhisham Sahni author of Tamas
By watching Hindi movies you cannot actually equalize the “Sahitya part”. Film is made for common men’s so that the producer can get more money , those who never even went to school they can also understand. Not all Hindi films are inclined to literature. It will be wrong to judge Hindi literature with the Hindi films.
Poverty,-Well its not only in Hindi Belt it is in all over India. Even in Bengal so we need money to reform. Many people are not happy with Nehru family and few politicians associated that time ,even I am not happy with them they are the root cause of dividing Bengal., Bengali is spoken by nearly 200 million people in the world – in some part of West Bengal , Tripura and in Bangladesh. It developed as a language in the 13th century and is the official state language of West Bengal. But if you see Tamil is the oldest Indian and very rich language too.
All my teachers were from Hindi Belt and whatever little I am today I am just becuase of them. Many of my school mates are doing well in life , they are in the field of Medicine, Engineering , into Management and they are there all across the world today and taught by the same teachers.
Thank you.

There have been many posts on how judges should deal with kids and I would not repeat them. But,a perfect example of a good judge/guest is Ustad Ghulam Ali Khan. Remember the episode in January where he was the guest.Could you imagine the king of Ghazals addressing each contestant as Chhote Ustad? That is exactly waht he was doing. Remember how he pointed out Areebs’s mistake and his problem of breath without hurting him. All the kids sang their hearts out in that episode and to everyone Ustadji is a perfect example of how a judge/guest should deal with kids to bring the best out of them.

With due respect , I don’t think there is anything wrong in having a favorite.Usually every music lover has a favorite but to be fan of everyone? That I don’t understand. We are no musical experts! Nobody is in a position to judge who’s better but we still try to go with our heart, thats all! But I fully agree that the one who clicks on judgement day will be the “Chhote Ustaad”. Good luck to both of them because they definitely belong in top 2. Hope, they sing really good classical and soulful songs. May the better singer win and I sincerely hope the show is not prefixed. And I must admit you NEVER use FOUL language!Thanks.

I think in the grand finale the contestants should be given difficult classical songs to sing to see their true worth!As AVI suggested I think “Hamein Tumse Pyar Kitna” by Parveen Sultana is an EXCELLENT choice. “Raina beeti jaaye” sung by Lata Mangeshkar from ‘Amar Prem’ is one of my favorites and ‘Baiyan na Dharo’ (don’t remember the name of the film , sorry)is also a good one to sing in the grand finale in my humble opinion.

To gaj ji & stuff:
I have sent a letter (Request to GAJJI)to Gajji:appeal to gajJi here :
to bring ccomplete change in the system of this Musical competetion from Grading,elimination to score Board ,where Justice & decency prevail to talents.where no prejudice, public humilation and belittling are completely eradicated.A competent committee of external judges can decide their talent and give their own verdict. public voting needs to be eliminated as it brings regionalism and mercy to deserved candidates.Musical Genre needs to be separately created for each special voice quality.english dubbing and talented Musical Gurus abroad could be included to bring it to international platform ,appealing to children all over the world like world Disney.The commercial undertakings and satellite distributions will clearly stop pilferage and generate funds for this to be financially viable.

Hi Jack – you did bring up a valid point that I missed. “Expression” is a must have! Both of them have I guess. As for Anwesha, you can watch her “oo la la” performance and speifically look for the portion where she says “Dhanak” in the antara and many more areas. Those small things are hallmark of a singer in totality.
Overall thanks you brought up a valid point indeed!

2.) Ghungroo ki tarah – Kishore Da
3.) Rim jhim girE sawaan – Kishore Da
4.) Man tarapat Hari darshan – Rafi Saab
5.) Kuhu kuhu bolE koyalliya (Would love to see Poonam sing it LIVE again – truly a classical live performance by her)
Contemporary Songs:
1.) Lagi Lagi
2.) Radha kaisE na jallE

Hi Avinash -
One song in your list that you may want to relook is “Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Yeh”. Its a very simple song composed in F Major Scale and hovers around B flat Major and G Minor chords. Not much that I can see from renditions perpective looking at it from a competition standpoint. No Doubt I love this number that inspired from a western number.
One song that I may (if you give a chance) would propose to replace song 1 in your list is “Kya Jaanoo Sajan” sung by Lata for the Movie “Bahaaron Ke Sapne”. This song I believe has lot of jumping notes and probably can be a measure of a singer for his or her ability to jump notes randomly in a scale.

Also, come on bud, who am I to give you a “chance”, afterall this is an open forum…OK, maybe for majority of us at least….kidding!

Wow people have osme amazing choices. I would just like to point out one small thing. we can just discuss these songs for our satisfaction and knowledge of some great songs. beleive me nobody is gonna listen to what we say and they will make the contestants sing the songs which are commercial success for present generation to make the show more glamorous. this is also partly because grande finale will not have much effect on who will be the winner. It is possible that in the episodes before grande finale they might make them sing classical songs. But again i think its totally upto judges and the director. and who will judge them on such great classical numbers??? I think shreya is the only one who is equipped to do that. Kunal himself cannot sing a classical song forget about judging. Pritam I dont know if he has in depth knowledge of classical music or not. I hope he has.
Again I am very happy that people are discussing some great oldies and some new classic songs. But dont expect this discussion to make any impact on the show!!!
I would also like to add a few new songs which according to me are difficult songs:
1. Dheere jalna from movie Paheli- Sonu Nigam
2. Baawri Piya ki from movie Baabul- Sonu
3. Bairi piya from Devdaas – Shreya
Thank you every one for great inputs and hapy blogging.

Anwesha and Aishwarya had both previously sung “kuhu kuhu bole koyalia” and were both said to be awesome. Now if only someone would upload their performances, we’ll finally get to decide who is better.
Meanwhile here is Shreya Ghoshal’s rendition of “kuhu
kuhu” – she was only 14

Hello,
It seems that the final is going to be one helluva contest.
But if the said categories are applied classical, ghazals, bhajans… it is no doubt that Anwesha will go miles ahead in her performances. Despite that will she get the votes who knows.
While if you apply the naughty numbers, romantic songs i think Aishwarya will be the winner. And to catch Aishwarya in terms of votes Anwesha supporters will have to pull their socks and vote like there is no tomorrow.
You can see the popularity of Aishwarya by the number of fan sites in Orkut as well as the number of members it has. While though most believe that Anwesha is definitely a better singer in most categories except may be a few, she lacks the support that others enjoy.
Fighting here and hurling abuses against each other is just not what i expected from people here in this site. We have to appreciate that may be since a long time we have a real contest on our hands. Who wins is upto the public. No matter how the contestants perform in the final…..i dont think many people are going to change alliances and vote for the opposite person. As most have made up their minds……. Two contest start now…!!!!
One between Anwesha and Aishwarya and the other between their contestants.
My vote is for Anwesha for consistent and versatile performances all through the competition no matter how she performs in the final.
Best of luck for contestants and the supporters.
Sanjay

No matter what you say Shreya no one sang more variety than Anwesha did. She sang folk, classical, classic film songs, remixes and you name it…she sang everything to unforeseen perfection. Nice try Shreya!
No one can touch these many hearts singing without mouth open. We have our ears Mr. Gajendra…may be you need to open your heart and ears…Another baloney comment from SVOI!
Shreya said Anwesha sings high pitch notes through her nose. Man…what was Shreya smoking before the show! I think Shreya was talking high pitch through her other significant hole.

If Gajendra Singh wants to make 5th April Finale A SHOW TO REMEMBER then he should invite his old colleague Sonu Nigam to co-host the show in Mumbai.
After Sonu Nigam left Saregamapa show due to his playback commitments the classical content slowly and gradually was replaced by pop music in Gajendra’s reality show.
Shaan started singing his own songs, mostly pop, as he was neither comfortable with old classical songs nor he was fluent with Hindi.Whenever he selected an old song he did full justice to it .The following old songs sung by Shaan stand out for their unique flavour:
1.Aja tujko pukare mere geet re—(GEET)
2.Seene main sulagte hain armaan—(TARAANA)
3.Jhilmil sitaron ka aangan hoga—(a rajshri film)
4.Zindagi khwaab hai —(JAAGTE RAHO)
Without classical songs the finale will be meaningless as both finalists are trained classical singers and their true standard, class and competence could be evaluated only when they render atleast two classical numbers each.GAJENDRA SINGH WAKE UP UNLESS YOU WANT ANOTHOR COLOSSAL FLOP GRAND FINALE AFTER THE LAST SHOW PRESIDED BY MELODY QUEEN LATA MANGESHKAR.

Prakrit Giri had a good voice quality. She was equal to aishwarya if one takes into account that prakrti was younger, had no training and aishwarya was trained. despite this, there was very little difference in singing ability.
I cannot understand how despite having more fans anvesha gets less votes? tric k of producer again? and bengalis do vote a lot, esp in case of aneek we saw. Why won’t they vote for equally talented anvesha?

I have heard both singers AISHWARYA and ANVESHA. I feel ANVESHA outshines ASIHWARY by a HUGE margin. here’s why–
1.Aishwarya has a good voice quality which DISGUISES the fact that she often slips bltantly in sur. Becuase she has a mellow voice, she can hide it. However ANVESHA has a sharp, sweet, strong voice which cannot hide slips. And thankfully there are hardly ever any errors!
2. AISHWARYA ‘s weakest performances– mera piya ghar aaya, crazy kiya re, awware bhavre expose her limitations in reaching high notes. She often becomes nasal like her mentor Alka yagnik which is a serious problem. the shrill tendecy is never there in anvesha’s voice which is clear to a fault.
3.ASH is more hype, less substance. she always has things on a silver platter. hope not thsi time. anvesha on the other hand has such technical precision she is a professional already. very rarely do singers have such control over their voices.
Go, Anu- you will win

Aishwarya and Anwesha are both good. Anwesha can sing any difficult song and as noted above somewhere – she sings every note cleary vs. Aishwarya slips over notes. Hence aishwarya’s alaps sound smoother. may be because she cannot sing every note clearly or take alaps as they are. also since her voice is softer, she sounds good but anwesha sings to perfection. Probably she enjoys every note of music hence sings it clearly to indicate that she has understood what note it is. Aishwarya probably won’t take so much effort and sings what sounds like original but not exactly. Aishwarya does not have high range. Probably Anwesha should have sung songs like manmohna or albela sajan, and people would have liked her better. It is still difficult to say who is better between two. But since Aishwarya belies more on showing, she doesn’t take much effort to sing song to perfection -and that may not mean she cannot learn to be technically good as well – but Aishwarya does loose sur – so whether that will or should be considered in final results – only great singers like Lataji, Ashaji can tell – but the final should include classical – with similar songs to both of them – otherwise judging still difficult. public voting should really be removed.
By sheel on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply
Also, probably reason why Aishwarya does not sing to perfection – meaning she appears like she skips notes as well – reason could be – either she cannot sing like and also that it would make her sound sharper. Which is why since Anwesha sings every note and sings in high pitch, she probably sounds sharper.

Parveen sultana’s “Hame tum se pyar kitna—” from film “kudrat” is a classic.A few more classics may be added to this song eg. thumri, ghazal, bhajan , pop,etc sung by different artistes for finals at Mumbai.
As in the past all eliminated participants are likely to get a chance to perform at the Finale.It will be more appropriate if the two Finalists are given at least 3/4 songs each to sing in Final Contest.
In the past live orchestra used to perform at all mega-finals but lately pre-recorded tracks accompany performers.
I personally feel that if such finals are held in closed auditorium with full orchestra the effect will be electrifying.
Even if the final is arranged at Andheri Sports Complex, live orchestra must accompany the performances to maintain high standard of this programme.
About more than a decade ago I had attended live Nadeem-Shravan Nite at the same ground. There was live orchestra of about 25 musicians and almost all the top playback singers performed at that show .I was accompanied by my daughter and we were sitting in first row.We enjoyed listening to melodius compositions of the Duo.
Gajendra singh/star plus must arrange Grand Finale in grand manner making it the SHOW to remember . Such shows are watched by millions of music lovers in all the five continents and therefore should be arranged in appropriate manner for better effect.
COME ON STAR PLUS YOU CAN DO THAT.GAJENDRA SINGH IS A GREAT MASTER IN THIS ART AS HE HAS ARRANGED SUCH PROGRAMMES IN UK USA ALSO.

‘kehna hai kya’ from the movie Bombay (just came to my mind) is a good one too. Also “kya janoon sajan’ is a beatiful composition which I would like to hear Anwesha or Aish sing. I never heard the original but heard Kavita Krishnamurthy’s and Nihira Joshi’s version and loved it.

I think it is more or less unanimous in this forum that though both Anwesha and Aishwarya are both very talented, Anwesha is a far better singing talent.
I recently heard Aishwarya performing “Aaj Jaane ki zid na karo” and realised that though she is a good singer she does not have the depth in her singing as much as Anwesha. Anwesha sang two of the most difficult songs (according to me) with elan…..”Iss mod se jaate hi” and “Chhoti si kahani se”.
Though Aishwarya tries to sing difficult songs… first of all she requires a lot of effort (you can see from her breathing and her face) and secondly her voice (though the best in the competition) is not trained enough to move from one genre to another that easily……. so her murkhiyan does not sound as well as Anwesha.
While Anwesha is like… OHH MY GOD !!! each and every time she sings it gives me goosebumps. I have to listen to the originals once again to see if she has made any mistakes.
She is not a complete artist as we saw in “Maiya Maiya” where though she picked the arabic tones very well and really did the song well it wasnt close to the original and lacked the voice variety of the two singers who sang the original. May be the effect is because she is two young to give the extra depth to her voice. But the rendition of “Ankhiyan na maar” and “Kaanta lagaa” was superb. Absolutely no superlatives.
If you like voice modulations, treble, classical notes, sharp turns in the songs…….Anwesha is the girl.
And i am sure she is going to rock the music industry.
As far as the judges are concerned………i think they were very harsh on Prakriti and she did not deserve such harsh treatment. She is one cute girl who knew by her heart where she lay in the competetion.
You can see from the faces of the judges when Anwesha performs……I think they have been asked to hold back their comments about her so that others can compete too. Kunal Ganjawala absolutely loves Anwesha and so does Pritam. With Shreya i think, the problem is that she believes that Anwesha is a better singer than what she sings on the competetion night. And you can see the disappointment on her face. I dont think she is trying to cut Anweshas clout but trying to get 100 percent out of this talented kid.
Anyway…
Go Anwesha Go !!!

Sanjay – Well said on the Shreya thing, even I talked about the same and from whatever I can make out of her (on the screen), I think shreya definitely expects more from Anwesha and beleives she has. I am with Shreya anyday. As for the songs you mentioned “Is Mod se Jaate Hain” and “Choti Si Kahani Se”, I think the previous is actually a very easy number from a competition perspective.In fact Anwesha stretched some words of the song more than in the original that gave me a feeling that she was going slower than required. As for “Choti Si Kahaani Se”, I wasn’t satisfied with her performance. I have been listening to this original number time and again and feel it did not touch me when Anwesha rendered it, I become very microscopic in my evaluation when somebody renders a Pancham-Asha Combo!
But hey we have the best kids for the finals! what more could we have expected. For this I thank Gaj Mahasay.

Bro, I disagree with you about Shreyas attitude. You could be right and hope you are right but I somehow feel she has an agenda. May be its because of Gajji, I really don’t know.But Aish never sang a Shreya song ( I could be wrong)but every time ANWESHA sang a Shreya number Like ” Barso re megha” and “”MERE dholna” Shreya felt compelled to go up on stage to prove her worth!That I don’t understand! Anyway I could be wrong but thats my thought.

Hi serious
I just watched the 21st march episode in which prakriti got eliminated.
COming to today’s episode prakriti and her aunt showed great attitude. Kudos to them!!! and her aunt very politely convayed to the judges that they should not have humiliated prakriti in last epsiode. I think they are great human beings. Regarding the performances all the performances were good but nothing spectacular. They drag the show a little too much so that takes some charm from the show. I have this complaint from this show since the starting. they give too much imprtance to other issues rather than singing and dramatise everything so much.
And also I have been seeing this from last 3 -4 weeks that the time judges have to grade prakriti they give her very bad grades and criticize her a lot but the time they don’t have to grade her they give very good comments. I as a regular listner and no expert cannot make out the difference in her performances under these two circumstances but I just get a feeling that judges just do a balancing act by giving these good comments. Its just what I think, may be I am completely wrong!!!

Hello Serious and Avi,
Though i reluctantly agree with your comments about “Iss mod se jaate hi”, and “Maiya Maiya”, i would like to say that she has done justice to both songs. I think if you would have given the songs to any other contestants including Aishwarya it would have been the most hopeless performance.
Yes it is difficult to create same magic as Pancham da and Asha however it has to be appreciated that the changes from one tone to another and abrupt ends to certain verses in “chhoti si kahani se” was done beautifully by Anwesha. I dont think that anyone could have done any better than her especially not a 14 year old.
As far as “Maiya Maiya” goes i think though she sang the song very very well……she still needs her voice to mature enough to sing those words which are deep voices. But nevertheless hats off.
Leave aside these three songs……….I think Anwesha has done better than the originals in “Dere Dere bolun”, “Ek radha ek meera” (my favourite performance by her), and “Hum Dil De chuke sanam” (especially since it is a duet).
What do you think ?

To tell you the truth I loved Anweshas rendition of Maiya Maiya. I am not an expert by any means but I loved Anweshas performance in ‘Hum dil de chuke sanam’( it gave me goose bumps),’Iss mor se jaate hai’, mausam ki adla badli me’ and ‘rang de’ recently among others. I’am a crazy fan of Panchamda’s compositions too but as you said Anwesha did a better job than anybody else would have done except Asha herself may be!I think Avi is pointing out the technicalities that can make Anwesha even a better singer.

Every time the producer and director of the show changing the rules of the show. for SVOI it was only public voting based show and now in Chote Ustad 50 precent by judges and 50 percent by public. Do u guys understand why it happened, just to survive their favourite contestant. I read all of the comments and most of the people commented about judges that they were biased, yes I would agree in current circumstances. I followeded this show regularly and in 15th mar. episode, if you people watch the show carefully, you would guess that it was all pre-planned to divert people intentions from their lovely contendors to give more votes to their favourite contestants. Infact, Prakriti s been always very popular in public by giving rocking performances and also she got sweet n fresh voice and yes she s innocent and charming too which is also an xfactor.
Now we come to the judges reaction on last episode, no doubt judges should not treat her like this as this doesnt suite these people like shreya and kunal. We really found them as biased and partial judges and it always happened in these kind of shows so it doesnt sound strange. In other way, it is also a plus point for the producer to catch intentions from the viewers to increase TRP of the show. First of all, judges realised the people that prakriti could be the winner logically by saying these stupid and crappy words and that became the dillema for them too that it might be possible that again a talent from darjeeling could ne a winner. As If I’m not wrong last time, a guy from darjeeling (prashant) i think wont he Indian Idol title. Please don’t think that I’m belonging from darjeeling, I even don’t know where this city situated in India but I appreciate the young talent and observe what the judges behave and how they treat their contestants. In 15th march episode, if you ever see aishwarya’s second song was off key and judges again gave her good remarks. She was going out off sur on high scale. And if you consider this then prakriti’s gela gela song and the other song was far better than aishwarya. No doubt aishwarya and anwesha are very good and strong contendors and I like them very much too. I dont want to blame on their singing but I would go against the injustice of this poor girl who was god gifted talented. This has always been hapening since ages that in these kind of reality shows people always encourage bengali or gujarati contestants and they mostly vote on favourism and on region bases. In that case we always loss our best contendors from other regions. Examples are….raja, vineet, amanat, hemani, toshi etc.
In the last, it s really sad that prakriti has eliminated now but I would surely recommend her as in top 2 based on her best performances so far and not on judges’s biased comments. A very polite message for Indian people, that please say no to racism and encourage the deserving challengers and talented people.
Thank you for reading my review.

so much Brilliant performance of kids ,anwesha and aiswyaria we have seen in JAIPUR ,MY WHOLE FAMILY is spellbound.
we have no words to express.
i also think Maharani of Jaipur expressed an important message .people made all the voting from jaipur for prakriti to see how much people are emotional and give vote with their heart than their head.Kunal was defintely embarassed for his remarks for prakriti.
sometimes i feel Young Abhaas has a tendency to put some Milchi on open wounds and ask some sensitive questions on the floor and even to smt.Basundhara.Either he lacks that sense to tackle issues or his attention seeking behavior makes him to do that. He could be a good trade unionist.
i must complement prakriti and her aunt for their social grace and decency.
we give thanks to all for this beautiful episode and making the videos available.
we look forward to APRIL5.
BEST WISHES
