I’m verymuch disappointed with the results….Anwesha should have won…

Anwesha, don’t feel bad or disheartened. Even you didn’t win the title you have touched billions people hearts in the world with your ability, perfection and quality.
You are real Chotte Ustad. I am 100% sure that you are coming as a great playback singer in Indian film industry.
I am eagerly waiting to listen to your first album.

n coming to the performances….
Most awesome performance of the night was Anwesha’s rendition of ‘Mere Dholna’- simmmmply mindblowing.
This one was even better than her previous rendition.
Anwesha’s ‘Crazy kiya re’ was superb much more powerful than Aish’s previous rendition.She looked very free on stage and danced quite well.
Aish sang Masha alla from Sawaariya – very soulfully.n ‘Barso re megha’ was good but ‘Signal’ was not that good.

anyways……

Congrats Aishwarya.

Long live Anwesha and her music.
LOVE YOU ANWESHA…GOD BLESS YOU..!!!!

Is this another channel setting. if it’s a matter of 7-8 votes,then Anwesha definitely wins bcos after voting for few times,i hv tried 7-8 times on indya.com but every time it was blocked,inviting for next wk.

Hi Anwesha,
Sorry Darling. I take responsibility of your losing the title on my shoulder too. I was sure you will win and so I didn’t take much initiative to vote. I could make a little difference. Like the story – to fill the pond with milk. Everyone thought others will do it why don’t I pour water. The other day the pond had water only. Sorry. You do sing very well and you know that. You will surely reach the top. I only want if there was some international contest might be you can show your talent!!!

I salute to Dr. Praveen.

This is what we call sport’s man spirit. One can be loyal to someone & would not like to leave his/her loyalty.

However, it is disgusting to post dirty comments about the winner just because what you wish does not come true.

As Bill gates writely says, “If you fall down try getting up as fast as possible rather than pulling others down”.

Thanks for your spirit…. Dr. Praveen.

Its nice to know that Aishwerya has won although my personal favourite was Anwesha as i think she has much much more grasp on classical then Aishwerya .But both the girls are immensely talented and i hope that Anwesha will also have so much success in the industry in the years to come.But one think which makes me so surprised is that they only give a trophy to the winner , two medals and one small trophy to the runner up and “THAT’S ALL”.Rs 1 lakh (which is also a very nominal amount these days) has been given by Abhijeet (not by Star Plus).This is absolutely nothing.The time and effort which these two girls have given to the show make them deserve to have the winner to have at least 50 lakhs + brand new car +some music contract and for the runner up atleast Rs 20 lakh.Because Star Plus has earned so much from this show from these girls so it should have given them back atleast some amount.You know Zee SarReGaMaPA has given all the 3 finalists money in laks .Even the 2nd runmner up got RS 10 lakh .I think Star plus has done a great injustice.The parents and janta should speak about it .Its totally unfair.

And I think she got not even penny from Start plus

If Aishwarya gets 1 lacs , Anwesha should get at least 50,000..

..its soooooooooooooooo HUMILIATING

no offense but its a disrespect towards Aiswariya to say that she didn’t deserve to win..it’s also a disgrace to what singing is.

HOWEVER- even with that said, I wanted Anwesha to sing, and I do think that in my own humble opinion, Anwesha was slightly better than Aighwariya and yes I did get emotional when her name wasn’t announced, however I understand that the difference between her and Aishwariya was veryyyyy small.

It was clear from the beginning that the public was moslty supportive of Aishwariya…she was always in Fairy Land but Anwesha would get scary land many times.

But, the judges kind of showed who they liked best when they invented the “sartag sarwottam” for Anwesha. It’s clear to me, whether they say it or not that all 3 of the judges are blown away by Anwesha, especially Shreya…cuz’ Anwesha sung many SHreya songs with complete perfect.

Congrats Aishwariya..

I love you Anwesha, you’re my Chota Ustaad.

YEAH INDIA HAI! HANUMANJI KI JAI!

ANY INDIAN MONKEY,could predict it ONLY FOR A BANANA.IN BHOPAL EPISODE: AISH WAS CROWNED
IN RAJASTHAN ,PRAKRITI WAS CROWNED BECAUSE KUNAL’S REMARK IRATED PUBLIC,SO GAJJI PUT A BANANA.
GUJRAT EPISODE: IT WAS AISHWYARIA NIGHT.
MUMBAI EPISODE OF GRAND FINALE:GAJJI NIGHT TO DECLARE THE WINNER.
SO LONG INDIANS ARE DRINKING THEIR URINE ACCORDING TO THE MORARJI DESAI’S (PAST PRIME MINISTER )PRESCRIPTION FOR HEALTH,THEY HAVE BECOME MENTALLY RETARDED ***
ANY INDIAN MONKEY COULD PREDICT ON THE FIRST DAY FOR A SINGLE BANANA INSTEAD OF A LONG DRAMA*
THEY CARRIED THE GOAT TO SLAUGHTER; SOME SAYS’ALLAHU AKBAR” SOME SAYS”KALI MATA KI JAI”
WHEN THE GOAT IS KILLED ,HOW THE MAN GETS THE BLESSINGS? ASKED A 2YR OLD? THE GOAT SHOULD GET THE BLESSING!IT’S THE GOAT WHO SACRIFICED ITS LIFE NOT THE MAN!

WHEN JUDGES were humilating and degrading openly it was not at all a problem because Indians are used to it abusing the children > to the outside world it’s crude>so this are nothing to expect.
uneducated indians with no sense hardly believe that it’s a game.
to make it simple:
TO any telephone co.if bring subsrcibers ,you get commission>do you understand?>huge millions of calls for tata indicom,GAJJI gets THE COMMISSION> THE CHANNELS AND AD COLLECTIONS THAT MAKES THE REVENUE.

Dear Dr. Bishwash

i totally agree with you,janta is fool and janta is so much used to getting fooled they dont want to take the blindfold out of their eyes even if the things are right infront of them.
I could not tolerate Aishwarya’s mata pita’s nostrils inflating n deflating

You must see American Idol – how Simon bashes almost every contestant. I don’t support that either. It’s very humiliating. But the judges are also human beings – sometimes they overdo a bit. But they love them too and want their well being.

I agree with you. They had crushed too many children’s self esteem. I don’t believe they would go to this extent to destroy the future of India. It was obvious some one was paid to promote their little girl so they didn’t hesitate to sacrifice for few bucks the these innocent lives.

Me too.
The most ugly part is that Bengoli culture’s dark side is shown in this forum.

Especially, views given here by her fans & well wishers are not actually praises of Anwesha’s singing but nost of it is on how Aishwarya did not deserve the title.

It is really disheartening that after so many years of most Indian companies turning their faces from West Bengol, the thirdrate work culture & cheap mentality is still persisting.

I’m a wee bit disappointed with the results..Anwesha should have won..Though Aish is equally talented there is something magical about anwesha’s voice..she is all ready for playback singing at this moment..i Hope n pray this talent won’t get unnoticed in the future n she bounces back giving us super hits…

congrats aish!

India is the land of TANSEN…Amir Khusrau, and countless other legendary musicians…In the world of Music, India’s classical music reigns supreme…It is very curious that the dozen such singing shows showcase young musicians whose aspirations are to be playback singers…How unfortunate that with progression your people and country has nearly lost the tradition that makes Indian music a world force…Not once in the last 30+ shows have these girls’ abilities been put to the test as far as music is rally concerned…Singing ‘disco beats’ and ‘pop songs’ and ‘bhangra songs’ hardly qualifies anyone as an USTAD…these girls are both talented with a wonderful sense of pitch and rhythm…but they have to grow as musicians….the singers of yesteryear such as Manna Dey, Lata Mangershkar, Asha Bhonsle haad strong backgrounds in classical music…

Amul Starvoice and other programs such as SA RE GA MA PA are doing a wonderful job in finding talent…But lets call it what it is…which is nothing but a quest for ratings…I hope both the winner and runner up put their efforts forward to learn as much as they can about music and find solid Ustads who can train them further…and I hope they find a yearning to go BEYOND their Dream of becoming a “playback singer”, maybe instead they can dream of becoming a great “SINGER” … good luck to you guys….just my two cents…

Another shock to the music lovers!!!!!!!! Earlier, many of us guessed before final that Anwesha, the most deserved candidate is not going to win the title. The assumption has become true now. I like both Aiswarya and Anwesha,both are talented and both have great future. But I like music not people madness and feel Anwesha has proved enough talents than Aiswarya to win the title. This type of reality shows are copied from USA, UK reality shows where we generally do not see any regional biasness on voting as people on these countries always think about country specific not in regional specific during voting. The Amhedabad episode has shown enough about regional biasness, as not a single person supported Anwesha even after her mind-blowing performances. Even the judge, Kunal looked embarrassed when nobody supported Anwesha even her spectacular performance with a song with local language. Amul, the main sponsor of this show is from the state and the business people from the state did enough support to make their girl to win the title.

Wish all the best to Aishwarya. I really love your voice, but still you have to improve many things in the music. Since you are now “Chotte Ustad”, you have the responsibility to respect this title in future. I hope you will be coming as another female singer with great voice in Bollywood.

Anwesha, don’t feel bad or disheartened. Even you didn’t win the title you have touched billions people hearts in the world with your ability, perfection and quality. You are real Chotte Ustad of all those people. Within first few episodes you already became inspirations to young children and got a celebrity status, you don’t have to prove anything. I am 100% sure that you are coming as a great playback singer in Indian film industry. Gujrat didn’t vote you only because they wanted Aisharya , their girl to win, but Gujrat knew very well about your class and quality and I am sure that they are going to love you more than Aisharwya in future.

Star TV should do some post analysis of the entire program. You can find many defects in the entire process. Why people didn’t give enogh vote ? Why most deserved candidate didn’t get the title? Why Bengal didn’t vote enough for Anwesha? I think Bengalis knew Anwesha’s talent very well before the svoi program as her talent was earlier known to Bengalis throgh Zee TV. I think this time Bengalis did protest against the voting system.

My sugession, since you can not eliminate regional biasness, the voting should not be used to decide the winner, instead the judges along with special jury members should be allowed to decide the winners. Voting can be used to collect point against the candidate and some percentage of voting money should be given to the candidate. In this case someone can get huge vote from his native region, he/she can get more money from vote, but at the end most deserved candidate will win. At the end music will win.

No Offence for Aishwarya.. actually congratulations to her… ! But what I hated about the show are the regional remarks in the script that was totally unnecesary since a major chunk of the voters I am sure were moved by the regional biasness and who to blame for .. none other than the fu..ing GAJODHAR. Chee… a matriculated student has a morale and human values than him…. You go back to primary educattion Gajodhar .. thats what you need..as..hole.

And my comments/Suggestions for Anwesha. This is not the end of the road! Do not get get emotional. This is just begining of a fantastic journey that awaits you …. What you need is humility (that you already have) and I have seen how during the Gujrat episode when the public did not cheer for you and were chanting Aishwarya’s name you echoed with them too! what a kind gesture kiddo! You have it … so do not loose it .. this will take you new heights.. Yes most important you have to complete your studies and keep you fantbulous singing go ahead.. do not neglect practice by any means! I am your TRUE fan and not a fanatic. I want to see you as a legend in the coming times so do not let my hope go down! Good luck you will do it.

Hello,

What can i say ? I have never felt so bad in my life over a reality show or TV show Or may be even otherwise. My heart is churning … and eyes have swelled up.

I am absolutely devastated to see Anwesha lose the crown which she deserved to the core.

I feel bad because once again talent has been crushed. It hasnt been given justice to prove itself.
How else can you describe the song selections in the last two episodes ?

No matter what people say ……… there was no comparison between the singing talent of Anwesha and Aishwarya …… Anwesha was supreme……
What am i saying……. Anwesha ‘is’ supreme !!!!

But I guess since God has given the talent…. HE will also give her the strength to fight against all odds and will give her all the success that she richly deserves !!!
Amen !!!

Long live Anwesha and her music.

I am eagerly waiting to listen to her first album.

Sanjay

To all you posters,

Two points:

1) I suggest you do one thing – come back a couple days from now and re-read your comments. At a whole they are quite horrible and absolutely rude!

You seen to have blamed everyone involved including the contestants for misdemeanor et al. Come back with a fresh mind and see that ALL of you are doing absolutely the same thing.

Both contestants were excellent and did their best day in and day out so please refraining in putting one contestant down at the cost of the other.

2) For future reference do remember, that these girls, albeit young, live in ‘today’s’ unfair world, which is made by you and me! And it’s better that they learn how to deal with it rather than wait until they hit their prime and get disappointed later. I think it has been a learning experience for both girls.

Also don’t forget these girls are going into bollywood, not exactly the most favorable of fair environment.

Please ponder and feel free to respond with your thoughts. But be civil!

Regards,
N

I know exactly how you feel because I feel the same way.Its so unfair! Although I knew Anwesha will loose in spite of being a far far superior singer.But there was a hope against hope that a miracle will happen.It’s heartbreaking to see such a talent getting crushed by regionalism,politics and money power. My heart goes out to Anwesha who knew she doesn’t stand a chance agaihst corruption but still performed brilliantly and kept her cool. I wish best of luck to the future legend of India , ANWESHA!

Most of the songs seemed like they were pre recorded.So most of the renditions were o.k.. Most awesome performance of the night was Anwesha’s rendition of ‘Mere Dholna’- simply mindblowing. This one unbelievably was even better than her previous rendition. Aish was again given more soulful numbers like Mashalla from Sawaariya – sang very soulfully but again lost sur in couple of places. Same with ‘pyaar ki ek kahani suno’ – lost sur a few times. Anu’s ‘Crazy kiya re’ was superb much more powerful than Aish’s previous rendition. Aish’s ‘Barso re megha’ was good but ‘Signal’ very annoying and out of tune. Anu looked very free on stage and danced quite well.

One more point – It seemed like Aish sang all high pitch portions in falsetto. She does not Anu’s range for sure. It’s all over ,so I guess no point talking about it anymore.

It was a black letter day in indian talent shows. instead of being the best results as Shaan said, it was the worst. because it was cheating indian public all the way. Shoddy production values, bad editing yet they could not edit whom public clearly preferred

Ultimately no talent of Anvesha’s calibre has come before and a sad singer like iahswarya majmudar walks away with prize. Disgusting. my entore family was shocked. i live in Mumbai and here Anvesha was liked by all and sundry.

ACTUALLY ANVESHA WON SHE WAS CLEAR CHOICE OF PUBLIC/NEUTRAL JUDGES/EVERYBODY EXCEPT FANATIC GUJAARTIS.
ALSO VOTING LINES WERE RIGGED. NO STATE EXCEPT GUJARAT COULD VOTE

Ver rude comments…. all were very unfair to Aiswariya. She is versatile singer. Didn’t all of u listen her songs “Albella Sajan, Oooo Sajna Barkha Bahar Ayi, Chori Chori, Aaj Janey ki Zid, Sohni day nakhre, etc… She has her own quality voice. She doesn’t copy anyone’s voioce as Anvesha does. Anvesha sings sherya’s song in sherya’s voice, Asha Jee’s song in Aash Jee’s voice, Her voice is like Kaveeta Krishna’s voice. Ash sings every song in her own voice. Her voice quality is best as far I have ever seen in any reality show or competition… So heartly congrates to ASH…. She really deserved to win,, so she

Good luck to Anvesha too for her future

gajendra has no sense of morals/ethics. he and aishwarya’s family are made for each other. the point is very few people except gujartis like ash. she is a regional singer and that too will not succeeed because dishonesty neevr pays.

Feel bad why bad songs were selected on the ahmd. show -so that in the last remaining time – when undecided voters will go and vote – due to bad song selection for Anwesha they would vote for Ash. Also the final was not even necessay if everything was going to be dependent on the public voting which was officially closed at 2 pm – but Anwesha’s dholna was amazing – it is very difficult to sing all the sa ni dha pa part of the song.

your comment shows how illiterate you are about everything. If you think Gujarat is FANATIC how come no FANATIC COMMENTS by any SO CALLED FANATIC GUJARATI? all others from all different states have written FANATIC COMMENTS against Aishwarya!
Gajendra Singh is also NOT a GUJARATI! This is for your knowledge!
I m very HAPPY, THRILLED AND EXCITED that my choice Aishwarya WON! A COMBINATION OF VERSATILITY AND SWEET VOICE.
I m happy for ALL people like YOU. Mind you, you have to learn how to climb the ladder or Overtake OTHERS! You can never reach anywhere by slinging MUD at OTHERS! This HABIT of all you people REALLY worked AGAINST Anwesha!
About Future! we will see who reaches WHERE?
KEEP HATING GUJARATIS! HA! HA!

I totally agree with u… I am not Gujrati but agree with ur comments….. Ash was the most deserving and telented participant… Congrates to her….. She actulayy deserved to win two years before when by bad luck she was out of the show due to illness….. She has her own sweet voice and doesn’t copy anyone….

She will definitely be a superstar……. She is faaaaaaar better than Anwesha….. Anwesha is also good but not best a Aishwariya is….

People I read this on another forum and i think it covers many improtant points

1) overhyping ash from the start (as if other contestants were just fillers/extras required for sacrificing every week).

2) presenting ash’s talent to be greater than it is (she getting adulation for strictly average or even pheeka performances).

3) ash NEVER landing in scaryland even once (like someone said, it’s a mathematical impossibility. unless of course, gajji has invented a higher form of maths!)

4) biased song selection (ALL golden lataji classics for ash and none for anwesha! if in spite of the horrid songs she got she created magic with her singing, can anyone imagine what she might have done if she got to sing ‘kuhu kuhu’ or ‘naino mein badra’ on the show?)

5) changing the rules as per gajji’s sweet wish (public voting, then 50:50, then public voting as soon as the highest vote gainer prakriti was thrown out mercilessly, then the whole ballot box naatak!)

6) server crashing at the most crucial point (gajji’s lost whatever little creativity he had! this is such a pathetic and shoddy excuse! gajji, agar jhol karna hi hai to atleast do it smartly na, itna patheitc attempts to mat karo ki sabko saaf dikhayi de ki jhol kar rahe ho! the so called biggest musical talent contest in the world and online voting site crashed! wo bhi at the last moment! that too only certain regions!! wow….)

7) no accountability (can gajji announce the exact voting results please? it’s a matter of saving your face gajji!)

this was not a fair game. this was not a fair show. i used to think this channel had some standing but now i’m not so sure!

I feel the same way. Still can’t believe our Anwesha lost! I will definitely miss her weekly renditions. She was like a sunshine for my whole family. This was such an unfair competetion. Nobody ,in their right mind, should ever even consider competing in this corrupt show. If you have a talented kid please go to Saregamapa ,at least it’s a FAIR competeion. SVOI is the most corrupt show I have ever seen.

public has no interest on this show as they have given 50% power to judges. Due to this 50% power people can do nothing even if they like some contestants. Inf act people are the SUPREME and they make the “STAR” “CHHOTE USTAAD” or whatever title……………..

What is the use of these reality shows, if real talent doesn’t come out? Last time, Ishmeet, who’s a very poor singer, won the competition compared to other geniouses like Toshi, Avaas, Harshit or Irfaan.

Every body know’s Anwesha is the best, then how come Aishawariya won the competition?

The voting system is fishy, I guess.

VOI , the crew including judges, Gajji especially sucks. They are changing the definition of reality shows by manipulating everything. eventhough, they have the F******* plans to win undeserved aishwarya, i had a hope that anwesha is going to win. Gajji really sucks yaar. From the past 3 weeks, the songs chosen were disgraceful. Gajji should be sacked.

The bottom line is “Anwesha is the unanimous Winner as far as this site is concerned and she is everybodies alltime favourite. Congratulations Anwesha !!. We have given VOI crown long back. Good Luck and never try to attend the F****** shows in starplus especially conducted by the S****** Gajji”.

when the best could win in saregma(both senior and junior) ABHAS and ANVESHA losing in VOI will definitely affect gajendra’s futre shows/market.

Winners like PRASHANT, ISHMEET AND AISHWARYA BRING DOWN THE STANDARDS ESPECIALLY WHEN OUR COUNTRY IS FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH TALENT.
ON the other hand winners like Aneek, Sanchita and Anamika make us proud.

I found this on svoichoteustad.com

I am a Gujarati but I am a diehard fan of Anweshaa. Ahmedabad crowd was extremely partisan. Do you know that Gujarat Samachar which is a daily news paper of repute came out openly with an article saying Aishwarya must be made to win. Not even a single word about who was opposing her in contest.
The crowd sans Anweshaa’s supporters were so much partisan that I felt sad for music .

Calcutta crowd OTOH was so polite and welcoming to aishwarya that I myself was surprised.

And why did Gajji allow “Ek chatur Naar to be sung by aishwary’s father?

Why did they not give a chance to Anweshaa’s mom who is a very good singer herself?

The whole thing stinks like a prison loo.

Voting lines on net were down during the last 24 hours. Why?
They had rigged the lines to allow only Gujarat voting which was done enmass .
I am in USA and it was so frustrating that I could see only sad and angry messages in all Anweshaa’s fans blogs including her official website .

If Anweshaa loses at the hands of Gajji, it would mean that all of us the dihard fans will take up a campaign to not let Gajji rest even for a single episode in his future endevours and expose him much strongly using other video channels like Karan Thaper’s .

I think all of shpuld call Anvesha the ‘winner’, aishwarya is not. the truth is Aishwarya won and yet once again in mumbai she proved she has no crowd support, no artists’ support(all actresses including Juhi, Vidya, urmila, Shilpa and Rani showed their support to Anvesha) the judges showed dissapointment when she won and the audience walked out. in fact it seemed as if Anvesha was winner because everyone went to support her. reminded me of Jhalak Dikhlaja 2 when Prachi won but everyone went to Sandhya Mridul the deserving winner.Abhas didn’t even look at aishwarya I thought he was going to cry poor thing.

truth is SMS voting partcularly in this chote sutad has lost all its credibility.

I don’t get it. As soon as Gaj leaves saregama we start having deserving singers like Aneek and Anamika winning.

Aneek’s counterpart in Voi who should have won was Abhas.
Anamika’s counterpart in chote ustad who should have won is Anvesha

But instead of Abhas and Anu, we had ishmeet and Aishwarya which is a joke of music…joke of talent. Zee tv must be laughing at star plus and indeed saregama pa’s repuation has become better now.

However ABHAS, ANEEK, ANVESHA…they all rock. As for Anamika she will do well if she focuses and becomes a little more motivated.

Gajji seems to be against the true talent. Here there was no doubt that Anwesha was deserving. Almost the entire world knows it by now. Delhi, Kolkata, mumbai… in all places Anvesha got max support. in all places bollywood stars were for her. Not only that i believe even co-contestants must have all wanted Anvesha to win that’s why that clip was not show.

this, despie the fact, that Aishwarya was hyped from day 1. I saw people from the audience leave when Aishwarya’s anme was announced. I am hearing the server crashed. What a disgrace.

So in a way lets Cheer up for Anwesha to get the well deserved visibility… so what if the crooks got involved in doing so… in time they will be proved STUPID…

My two cents. I think Star TV – Gajji had a mandate to make Aish win from Amul, the sponsors, because both are from Gujrat. Star TV must have a very large slice of the Amul Advertisement account.I got specially disappointed when B M Vyas was on stage to give medal to Aish. He never even looked at Anu despite standing next to her.Disgusting!

However in the gujarti epiosde I saw they could not eevn appreciate Anvesha. So sad!

we left for the venue at 4.45pm and we reached goregaon sports complex at5pm. there were about 3 to 5 thousand people trying to gate crash .the entry was allowed at 6 pm and within 5 minutes we were in our seats .
at 7.45 pm we were at home before our tv sets.
there were separate enterances for general and vip pass holders . the only difference was that so-called vips were provided chairs and the general pass holders were made to stand at the end holding placards and cheering wildly at almost everything.
shaan and the two finalists were seen reahersing for a song which later in the programme was included

no sooner did the show start exactly at 7pm than the all general pass holders were ostensibly allowed to enter the vip enclosure as there were many vacant seats . this resulted in chaos and almost everyone in vip enclosure had to stand to watch the show.
enough was enough and most of the vips just started trooping towards the exit and atleast 5000 pass holders left their general/vip/vvip seats and left for home to watch the flop finale in homely comfort.
more weird experiences to follow:

Congratulation to Aiswarya and I am sorry for Anwesha the competition was designed to choose only one contestant as a winner therefore only one have been chosen already from the beginning of the show from the judges point of view making all the viewer ‘’Ullu’’ honestly there wasn’t equal comments amongst the contestants. But both of you are winners and God gifted potential singers and now yours big challenge have been started NO MORE CHOTE USTAD YOU BOTH ARE BADE USTAD NOW.

I think most viewers are not impressed with judge’s comments specially Shreya and Kunal because of their immaturity as a judge but we all know both are popular and grate artist.

Finally many thanks to SVOI very good programme and entertained us a lot specially kids like Abeer who is only 8 years old with grate talent and many thanks to all parents being a responsible person of these young unlimited talented kids and hope to see more next year.

abhaas and half-clad girls sang and danced before the motley audience with the welcome song.i do not know whether the audience heard the song or feasted on figures of dancing girls.
shaan’s entry was an afterthought as he was fully unprepred and had to be repeatedly prompted by young abhaas. instead of assisting abhaas who was capable enough to host the show independently shaan appeared to be a liability and abhaas became quite nervous and started fumbling. in short both of them messed up everything.the prompter either left the show or had dozed of after a heavy bout of—.
all of sudden the track started playing raat baki—and everyone tried to figure out wherefrom that voice was coming .in such situations the lights are generally switched off and spot light is focussed on the performer .after looking here and there one could see aishwarya on dome standing alone without any spotlight blaring raat baaki –a pre-recorded song . we could see anwesha accompanying aishwarya in this song only when we watched the show on our tv. this song ended and the dancers again made their entry.
at this point at about 7.30 pm we left the complex and headed for our home . we saw hundreds of invitees outside who were equally frustrated and left for home.

The true fact is that All the losers now a days are extremely talented these days in reality shows since the results are being altered by the damn foolish organizers like his excelency in idiotic ideas, Mr.Gajji. and because of this reason, all the losers are getting good opportunities these days.

the entire programme was quite a mess. the script-writer was probably hired from bheendi bazaar or mahim creek. he must have pocketed a handome amount by handing over a script written by his school going kid.
most of the songs had been recorded earlier in studio and the vips were made to sit at the distace of more than 20 feet from the stage. for what? probably to mislead them about pre-recorded tracks.only about 5/6 songs were rendered live on recorded tracks.
quite strangely some of the songs which were sung by the paticipants in earlier episodes were stupidly(a mild expression)repeated in this grand(orthe worst) finale.
the two music directors-anand sharma and annuj kappu appeared to have left the show for better opportunities after desertion of ashwini singh the 10-year assistant of gajendra, who wisely preferred to persue her mba (reportedly)rather than stick to gajendra who has totally lost his direction. saregamapa/voice of india have been orphaned and the ace director stands exposed as his knowledge about music appears to be a big zero without his music directors and assistants.

aishwarya trimphed and walked away with the crown,but at what cost?by trampling over equally talented artist-anwesha through voting system which generally throws up surprises. no doubt aishwarya as a singer is quite deserving in her own right but anwesha had her own strong points, particularly in field of expression and classical-based singing.
preetam’s repeated pronouncements about honouring both the girls proved to be a cry in wilderness.he was a responsible judge along with shreya and kunal without whose tactical voting some other contestans could figured in final.
the real strength and level of competence were never tested fully in the show. not a single song of legends who composed melodies which will be heard and loved by generations after generations, figured in the finale! what a bankrupcy of planning and execution!they collected all the noisy, good for nothing songs of present day composers who themselves may not remember their own worthless compositions.

i was wondering whether we were watching a duel between two young finalists in singing competition or a filmfare award function!
both the teen agers were lifted by grown up males in dance performances like kareena kapoor ,malaika arora ,mallika shekhawat and other much -touched actresses which almost tantamounted to obscenity ,vulgarity and molestation in public place!and many fools among the audience were seen applauding such acts. where have the morals disappeared? mr majmudar i would have NEVER allowed my daughter to perform in such musical competitions in this manner whatever the stakes.young girls from respectable families should keep away from such vulgar performances .we are corrupting young impressionable minds.
and what about make-up of young performers ?particularly anwesha looked like a painted doll. her natural charm and beauty was competely destroyed and she looked terrible in that wavy flossy hair style .she looks much much better in simple make-up.

You’re right. Aishwarya had over 2 lack votes more than Anwesha, and that’s the reason why the number of votes was not revealed i.e. to respect both the contestants, especially Anwesha.

For those who want to file a law suit against Stat, all you will succeed in doing is humiliating Anwesha. And by continuously posting rubbish all you are doing in humiliating yourselves and exposing your narrow mindedness.

i have gone through all the comments posted hereinabove and am deeply shocked at the attitude of almost all the commentators on this blog .all of you can support a contestant of your choice as it is your right but donot get personal when you are referring to anwesha’s opponent aishwarya . in my opinion aishwarya is as good as anwesha if not better.
your comments are biased and undemocratic . in democracy you cannot impose your viewes on others .
everyone has got equal right to air one’s views freely and fearlessly.
i still maintain with all the force at my command that between the two finalists aishwarya is better equipped for playback singing in bollywood. her voice will suit every top bollywood actress and she is a real delight for every composer .only time will prove who achieves greater success in playback singing.
anwesha is equally talented;infact all classical based songs should be sung by anwesha as she has proved to be a better classical singer. but who listens to such songs at present and here aishwarya will score over anwesha.if i were the composer my first preference would be anwesha for classical based songs and aishwarya for romantic and semi-classical songs.

This is a bullshit comment from your Mr VYAS. Anwesha is miles better a singer that Aishwarya. Person who can sing classical can sing any song, Asha and Lata both have a classical backgorund and they have sung hip hop songs as well. As far as suiting the voice of the actresses in Bollywood, I again feel that Anwesha voice will be suited to more acctress than Ashwarya.
So you are a biased viewer to Ashwarya. Time will tell you WHO IS BETTER and thats ANWESHA, because one cannot stop a talented person and this small shitty show doesnt matter.

the amul star voi chhote ustad show had generated great excitement in all the five continents of the world .the management of star plus should have realised the importance of this grand finale as all the eyes and ears of millions of viewers were all waiting for real treat between two equally talented extraordinary young talents.
but star plus took every music lover for granted and dished out a show which lacked lustre and content.
the entire show was unimaginatively planned and shabbily executed.
the star plus and its concerned staff have let down all music lovers all over the world . it was an ordinary show ,the songs were useless and presentation childish.
wake up CEO star plus where is the expertise and precision with which you presented “kaun banega crorepati” on your channel. you are so obsessed with your saas bahu serials which are generally watched by few families in hindi belt only that you grossly overlooked the importance of this musical extravaganza which is watched regularly by indians all over the world . all real music lovers feel greatly insulted by your so-called grand finale which proved to be a damp squib. even the ice cream vendors at the venue were selling sub-standard ice cream of some unknown brand in MUSICAL SPECTACLE FINANCED BY AMUL ! you not only insulted viewers but have also harshly treated the companies who doled out lacs for this wothless finale.

This shows the mentality of the people of that state. They will support their community no matter what.
I don’t mind aishwariya winning, but the way people of Gujrat behaved was disgusting!

Aishwarya Majmudar is the first and last Gujarati to win a talent show. these people ahve no ethics, no morals,,,it is so sad.
And Star plus has lost much of its reputation. it has brought winners like Ishmeet and Aishwarya. The worst of the top 12 became the winner. ishmeet was the worst, aishwarya came only because of aggressive criminal money-power.
What a rotten state of affirs…if corruption exists like this, how can we ever progress as a country?

Voting perecntages not declared. that means despite less votes Aishwarya won. All celebrities were for Anu. Juhi clearly loved Anu and mouthed ” she was better”.

GUJARATIS YOU GUYZ ARE ROTTEN PEOPLE. you people are not human.
How can you live with your conscience after denying the right talent? Shame on you people….shame on Gujart, gajendra, aishwarya, her parents, Amul and ESPECIALLY STAR PLUS.

I am shocked at the results. star plus has shown they are anti-talent and anti-bengalis.

What a national humiliation. I come from Kolkata and people are shocked. We have to report such wrong doings in future. Otherwise mediocre talent like Aishwarya’s will flourish and our country’s reputation will go.

This is a bengali’s warning…don’t underestimate us. just because we are not fanatics, we will not take injustice lying down. There is talk of action being taken against Star plus and aishwarya’s parents.

BENGALIS ROCK WE ARE NOT CHEATS WHENEVER WE WIN NOT A SINGLE PERSON SAYS UNDESERVING WON BE IT ANEEK SANCHITA OR ANAMIKA. our deserving ones like Emon and Anwesha could not win. We will not give up without a fight.

This is for Anu:

Friends, we all know Anvesha is the best. Its as simple as that. from the moment she sang ‘hum dil de chuke sanam’ she was a revalation. Here was a talent pure, pristine and untouched and yet the very fact that she had come to a commercial show meant that she felt the need to reach out and touch other people’s lives through her music. So Anvesha’s singing in chote ustad was not just a means of acquiring an end- becoming a playback singer– but also to reach out to both the masses and classes, to entertain others whilst retaining the purity of an art perfected by years of classical training.

It was not an easy battle nor an easy balance to strike. Naysayers, detracters, jealousies, rivalries and corruption were all going to be part of the process in becoming a chote ustad. yet the 13-going -on 14 little girl was to take it all in her stride. She was going to prove her mettle and her talent, come what may. So for every ‘iss mod pe jaate hain’ there had to be a ‘maiyya maiyya’, for every offbeat ‘mausam ki adla badli’ there had to be a crowd-pleasing ‘Khallas’. For every beautifully rendered classical song she had to prove that she had that elusive ‘X-factor’ that is an important part of being a performer. So be it her impeccable ‘Aaami je tomar’ where she startled all with her elegant variations(the best perf. of the show), the classy ‘baaga maroni’ , the startlingly subtle ‘main vari vari’ and the straight from the heart ‘Pal do pal ka safar’ Anvesha succeeded beyond doubt in showing she was in a league of her own. There can be no dearth of superlatives for her.

Each performance was perfected beyond imagination. Every nuance was taken care of. Every little voice modulation had its legitimacy. This was no ordinary talent. Here was a child prodigy capable of enermous depth, capable of improvisation and innovation whilst retaining the original feel of the song. Sut, taal and lay? Anvesha had surpassed such elemenary cocenpts. She was in a stage where she could take music to new heights.She was beyond comp.

come on Ishmit! voi-chhote ustad is over and your show “SUPER STAR” will begin from Friday on Star Plus.
I suggest the following rafi numbers which if you sing in new show, will undoubtedly make you Super Star:
1.main nighahen tere chehre se hataoon kaise–(aap ki parchhaiyan)
2.aakhri geet sunaloon to chaloon–(neela akaash)
3.jaane bahar husn tera bemisaal hai–(pyar kiya to darna kiya)
4. tum mere saamne hai teri zulf khuli khuli–(bahurani)
above four songs are real gems probably the best among rafi numbers.
all the best Ishmit .

Abhas may be going around with Abhilasha, but first love need not be the true love. i feel he and Anwesha are suited to each other. And Anwesha may like Vyom and Abhas like Abhilasha>>>>butvyom and abhilasha re not meant for them

ultimately the way these 2 interact, abhs and anwesha, they respect and nurture each other’s talent. that is first step in love. true love comes with respect. And these 2 are amde and meant for each other. Love should not be about attraction but also respect. vyom and Abhilasha re not taht talented.
Abhas and Anwesha will disocver one day that they truly love each other. thta day>>>>>hopefully>>>the best talent will marry.

I have seen how often Abhas and Anwesha communicated without a single word. Another sign of true love

I also feel he realized he loved her yesterday. That was a special monet for both of them;anwesha must go with Abhas and not vyom.because abhas is more successfula nd they will be happy together.

What an insult to bengalis. that medicore Aishwarya won, that too not through fair means. its true that Anwesha should ahve won. She is a priceless gem. BENGALIS ARE BEST. THEY CANNOT BEAT US IN TALENT THAT’S WHY THEY TAKE RECOURSE TO BLACK DEEDS

cant abhaas be linked with other young singer like pooja deepali etc etc. i can’t recollect all the names.
your gossiping is so very absorbing. forget aishwarya anwesha as they must have gone to a bank to deposit their winnings, and catch hold of abhaas and weave some tales around him . he is a great guy and an eligible bachelor.
i am now beginning to read young minds full of mischief and fantasy.what else is there on this site but get abhaas married to any of the young singers. indeed very fertile mind.keep it up.

No they can’t because ppoja is already going around with Emon, and deepali is 2 plain . these guys want 2 hook up with bengali girls.bcoz they r beautiful n talented. i wud like Abhas 2 marry anwesha. We can’t blame u. u r a guy and don’t have observant eye

ROMANCE IS QUITE FAR FROM THEM.ANYWAY YOUR MATCH-MAKING BUSINESS IS QUITE ENJOYABLE.CARRY ON AND LINK SOMEBODY WITH SOMEBODY JUST TO WHILE AWAY YOUR TIME . EXAMS MUST BE OVER BY NOW . ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAYS IN DAY DREAMING -THE SECRET OF GOOD HEALTH.

what I missed in CHHOTE USTAD:
1. Live orchestra including full string orchestra with violins and sitars.
2. Lata-Madan Mohan numbers. i would have loved to hear aishwarya begining from antara in live runninig orchestra “oh bhole saathiya dekhi jo shokhi tere pyarki—” and anwesha repeating the same antara in her voice. Lata is simply at her best in this song. the effect would have pushed up the heart beats of real music lover
3.Lata-RD Burman number- anwesha begining with antara in running live orchestra — sapnon ke devta kya tujko karoon main arpan–. and aishwarya repeating same antara with live running orchestra this haunting melody would have set the stage on fire if properly presented by the music director.Tese songs in dim lighting would have created mesmerising effect on the ground.
4.non-orchestra round: it was a must-both singers could have selected any old popular song of their choice.e.g. aapki nazron ne samja pyar ke kabil mujhe– or chhod de sari duniya kisi ke liye hai munasib nahin—
5.Ghazal or Thumri-Hamen tumse pyar kitna yeh hum nahin jaante– Parveen sultana’s greatest film song or yaad piya ki aaye– by Bade ghulam Ali or Aan milo sajna— from film gadar by ajoy chakraborty and praveen sultana.Gajendra missed all this magic in his finale.

so many young girls are busy on this blog with match-making which is always their greatest passtime.
anwesha/ abhaas or abhilasha/ abhaas..why dont you select abhaas for your -self in case you are still un-married?
abhaas is still a kid he has just become an adult -just a week ago . abhaas anwesha and abhilasha ,i am sure ,are in no mood to romance at this age.they are at the threshold of promising career in playback singing
anyway your gossiping is quite interesting. i never thought young girls can weave such interesting tales.
keep it up .the tussle has ended but you have succeeded in keeping this site full of mirch/masala.you have succeeded young girls enjoy yourself.

Mr vyas
young girls become mature fast nowadays. that’s why Abhilasha and Anwesha are. This generation is fast. Girls in their 20’s who were born in mid 80’s r a little more cautious. thta’s why Arshpreet was reserved in her feelings but Abhilasha was not.
here agin Anwesha sems to be free with Abhas. Whether they r in love or not, i cannot say. But they respect each other that’s a BIG thing

Well i support them because they look cute together. my vyas seems to be strict about it. but in truth nowadays things have chnaged. girls fall in love by 13/14 nowadays. Anwesha is mature enough.

As for Abhas he loved Abhilasha but now I feel he has realized that the Bengali connection is too strong 2 resist. As a couple, they can do many things together-bag contracts, get albums. Peetam,shaan,aneek,shreya are all bengalis. they will have the right clout. myabe that is also a factor

as for anwesha she and abhas are suited because they have a bond which is very strong that of encouraging and helping each other. When abhas wiped off anwesha’s tears it was a sign that he loves her. one day they will realizeit.

ABHAS IF YOU WANT THIS GEM YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL.BE SURE THAT YOU KEEP THAT VYOM AWAY. TRUTH IS ANWESHA MAY BE SWAYED BY HIS ‘GOO DLOOKS’. THE ONE WITH A BEAUTIFUL HAERT IS ABHAS WHO ALMOST CRIED WHEN AISHWARYA WAS WINNER

Anwesha.. we are already missing you as we know that we won’t able to see you every week from now..

I’m sorry, all this is too funny.
I think you guys are jumping to conclusions a little too quickly. Yes, Abhas may have looked somewhat disspointed when Anwesha didn’t win, but this is only because he has stated in an interview before that he thinks Anwesha is the best talent on the show and that she deserved to win. No doubt, after four months he became good friends with all the kids, including both Aish and Anu. But that’s probably the extent of it. I highly doubt, he would develop romantic feelings for a 14 year old girl. And Anwesha is not like that, she is serious and focused and may have crushes on some guys, but probably won’t do anything about it just yet. I felt Vyom, however, may have had some feelings for Anwesha. He has said repeatedly in many interviews that he feels she is most superior singer in the show and just generally seems quite fond of her, but once again I really don’t know how he feels and can’t believe I typed this up in the first place…

Looks like some people have started making this site a Page 3 site. We keep reading about all this about Anwesha – Abhas. Abhas himself a great singer was disappointed with the result and reacted like any other normal man. Many people are disappointed with the result, that does not mean that they are in love with Anwesha. This has been a great blog for all of us to discuss music. We at times have disagreed with each other, kept of writing one message after another to prove our point, but that was fun.Somebody may be an Aishwaraya supporter and can very well express your happiness on her victory, but do not make it a Page 3 blog.

WATCH THE FIRST EPISODE ON 11-4-2008 AT 10 P.M. ON STAR PLUS.

1) Anwesha should have won. That rendition of Ami Je Tomar/Mere Dholna was fantastic! I keep listening to it over and over! And if you listen to the version she sang earlier on the show, you can see how much she has improved! Earlier, she seemed to have some breath issues. (Didn’t take enough air to sing the lines in the end.) Now? Fantastic, absolutely amazing. Loved it.

2) Live playback. With Aishwarya, it felt like the dancing (crude dancing, might I add. it’s a kids singing show, for goodness sake!) overpowered her voice. With Anwesha, I feel like it jived a bit better– there was more balance.

3) So glad Sonya received the judge’s favourite award. She was my favourite. Love her soulful singing. Just astounding. Glad to see Jayant on the show too!! He is taking lessons from Ghulam Ali, isn’t that correct? I may have understood that episode incorrectly.. And Prakriti has that nice, sweet pop flavor. (She really would be a good singer for an actress like Katrina Kaif in the future.) Finally, Vyom — he does seem taller! I enjoy his voice and found it quite amusing to see him dancing with the girl in the Amitabh Bacchan intro. XD

4) Did anyone else notice Juhi Chawla covering her ears a lot? I am like her — some of this concerts are SO very loud.

5) I think it is ridiculous that some viewers are suddenly matching up contestants–hosts. Anwesha is fourteen; a mere girl. Pairing her up with an 18-year-old? In at least the United States, that relationship is pretty illegal. Right now, when she is so young… what a disgusting thought!

6) Ismail Darbar was in the audience! That brings me to Saregamapa. I wouldn’t say that show is any better. Though Anamika (lil champs) and Aneek (regular show) are both talented singers, so many equally marvelous and perhaps better singers (Vasundhara Raturi, Rohit Shyam Rao, Mussarat Abbas, Amanat Ali, Poonam Yadav, etc) were thrown from the show. The judges on the adult show were generally very biased.. I think SVOI did a pretty good job, though the show itself is still flawed in many ways.

Can’t wait another singing show to go underway….
Does anyone know what is coming up for either SVOI or SRGMP?

I believe there will be no more Voice of India, due to lack of decent trp ratings. This show has always been overpowered by Saregamapa, even the talent on VOI is far greater. Therefore, Gaj Singh is moving on to his new show on another channel, the show is called “9x” (something about who has the most x-factor and whatnot). And there is a show, “Superstars” (which I’m sure will suck, because the only moderately talented people there are Himani and Amit Paul) that will go on air in place of VOI.

And why is everyone saying Aishwarya is a “crass” and “rude” girl who is going to be a “criminal” with “no upbringing”? That is complete rubbish. Sure, she comes off a little melodramatic, but those are very harsh insults to a very young girl. She won, good for her. Doesn’t make her an “evil gujarati.” And why must things be so regionalized? First and foremost Aishwarya and Anwesha are both INDIANS from INDIA. It really shouldn’t matter what state, but I guess that’s how things work over there…

unfortunately, this is the sorry state of our country.. there is no doubt that there was something wrong happen somewhere behind this show.. but to bring out regionalism, calling a 14 year old “corrupt” is BAD on our part.. worse are the comments given by some bloggers here.. don’t lose hope.. U may find some sensible people too who understand what are talking about..

You are absolutely right. Anwesha referred to Abhaas as Bhaaya. But some ppl are not clever to notice this point in the show. I wish all the best for Anwesha, she still have to focus on studies and further her talent to make it even higher. No time for useless other things for her. God bless her to keep intact within the indian culture instead of those ppl who are just following foreign stuff without knowing the foreigners are already messedup ppl. They are struggling to find something like indian family lifestyle. God bless

Only one thing looked standout from otherwise very dull finale.. “Ami Ji Tomar” rendition of Anwesha.. one of the most MIND-BLOWING performance u can ever see.. AB who looked so much annoyed and uncomfortable during most part of the show, was seen amazed and delighted during this performance.. he was seen pointing towards Anwesha to the person sitting next to him.. must be saying “where was she so far man?”.. that’s what we say it too.. just that now we know where she in.. in our hearts :)

I’m sorry to say India is country of racism. They are racist in all point of view, by that way they vote for Ash., because she is from west. Another stupid im-mature Abhas (18 years old) made that bad. He always said this is the fight between east and west. This was not a fight between east and west. I think Gajji encourage the racism through Abhas. Anwesha is far better singer than Ash., but the racism between east and west made her looser. Stupid Indians

Devkishin – I must say you have the prerogative of saying “Aishwarya sounds sweeter than Anwesha” but your statement should rather be reiterated as “I think Aishwarya sounds sweeter than Anwesha”. You cannot pass a generic statement , what sounds sweeter to you may not be to others. Also not everyone’s ear ring to the same sound. Also I am not sure if I would agree to you on your saying that Awnwesha is not good on contemporary pop/rock/hiphop songs genre.

Like everyone else, I am extremely upset with the results. Right from the beginning it seemed as if Aishwarya’s talent was represented in a way that made it seem MORE than it was. i remember Alka yagnik giving her a necklace for a performance which was extremely average- “Jo bhi chahe kahiye”. Aishwarya often slips into falsetto and though her voice is rounded, she often misses sur in the lower notes. The only good thing about her is that her expressions are good. Voice modulations, technicality and sur/tal- slightly above average.

Whereas Anwesha- MIND-BLOWING! SHE IS THE BEST SINGER I HAVE SEEN ON ANY REALITY SHOW. I am not exaggerating. I have yet to discover any flaws in her. i have NEVER seen her missing sur. her voice quality and control is awesome. her best performances are all her perfromances, the only dissapointing one I remeber is ‘khallas’.I want to see this bundle of talent emerging as the future nightingale of india.

I suppose regionalism, politics and god knows what else resulted in anwesha’s defaet. Don’t loose heart little girl. you have touched so many people’s hearts with your singing, and my 5 yr old daughter considers you her idol. For many you are the REAL chote ustad.

@dear varsha

I agree, action can be taken. I think especially my sisters and brothers who live in kKolkata will be suitable for this. You people should approach the media, the regional press, maybe even your govt. or some independant body like the judiciary to solve this problem. Becuase we as voters need to know where our money is going. Results were not at all transparent in this shwo. If enough people in Kolkata protest, action CAN be taken.

Also I feel Bengalis hould be a little more pro-active. you people have so much talent, so much energy and so much creative potential yet don’t ever let anyone take advantage of these things. i have noticed these in my Bengali friends. there is a need to break out of complaceny. be more aggresive. Mobilize public opinion.

Bengalis feel that talent is the only thing. it SHOULD be in an IDEAL world. But its important to be active. to be clever also and remember the rest of India should learn from your good qualities, yet you Bengalis need to learn how to be more demanding. Otherwise you will not be able to support your beautiful children Anwesha, geetashri etc. There will be more Bengali young girls and boys coming in future, no doubt better than their counterparts. to make sure they get justice, it is imp. to take steps NOW.

I READ THIS ON ANU’S FAN CLUB

THE REALITY SHOW CUSTOM
As d reality show custom goes:”the deserving can never win” was 1ce again taken 4ward yesterday….

Anwesha is in the league of lata mangeshkar,asha bhonsle,kishore kumar and Mohd Rafi….As I said previously,she’s the “USTAAD”…

nd i can’t xpress my hatred towards gajji,aish and her family…THEY ALL SUCK LIKE ANYTHING……Aish’s mom claims to be a singer,but I must say that she has no ear for music…Like parents,like daughter…

Anwesha and family are truly so graceful,very well educated and anu’s upbringing is reflected in her singing…

And dose hu think dat aish is very beautiful or something,den i must say dat she’s really a cheepster hu dusn’t know wat outfits to wear on dat portly figure of hers….
As bipasha said 2 our dear anu:”You truly have a great personality”…It was very ritly
said nd at d rite point of time…anu has dat attitude..widout ny display of moronic,idiotic drama,she dus everything perfectly…….

I don’t know abt dose hu consider anu nd aish as equivalents….I seriusly feel dey r tone-deaf….aish fans,did u hear anu’s amijetomar???
Tell me vich playbak singer of today can sing dat boltaan(cant help if u dnt knw d meening) wid such eese nd perfection???Even amitabh bacchan wasn’t able to control his emotions…..

Till now,i din’t hate aish so much,but un4tunatly or rathr 4tunatly,now i cn make out eezily dat her character is same as amitabh bacchan’s bahu(aishwarya rai)……..All of u must hav seen hw she din’t evn name anu wen askd 2 xpress her feelings..nd guys,do u knw wat anu said aftr loosin???she said:”aish is a terrific singer nd dere r sum terrific qualities in her vich i must learn…a well-deserved winner nd i’m very happy 4 her”…In dis manner,anu has displayed grr8 character

Anu rocks as much as Aish sux…..

ALL BAKWAAS FROM A KID. ONE SHOULD BE GRACEFUL IN ONE’S DEFEAT. DO NOT BE A BAD LOSER. IT REFLECTS POORLY ON YOUR ATTITUDE AND INFLATED EGO. IF YOU THINK ANWESHA IS BETTER TALENT THAN AISHWARYA SO BE IT .YOU ARE FULLY ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION BUT FOR THE GOD’S SAKE DO NOT IMPOSE YOUR OPINION/ONE TRACK MIND’S VIEWS ON AISHWARYA’ LACS OF FANS AND WELL-WISHERS.YOU ARE REPEATEDLY INSULTING AISHWARYA’S FANS WHO HAVE VOTED FOR HER .THEY HAVE ALSO SPENT THEIR HARD-EARNED MONEY TO MAKE THEIR FAVOURITE VICTORIOUS IN THIS BATTLE OF SINGING SENSATIONS.
ALL OF YOU ARE LEVELLING BASELESS CHARGES OF CORRUPTION ETC AGAINST THE ORGANISERS OF THIS SHOW WITHOUT ANY PROOF WHICH IN ITSELF IS AN OFFENCE. YOU CAN BE DRAGGED TO COURT OF LAW FOR DEFAMATION.
THE BATTLE OF TWO YOUNG GIANTS IS OVER AND NOW LEARN TO BEHAVE PROPERLY IN A DEMOCRATIC CIVILISED SOCIETY AND ACCEPT THE POPULAR VERDICT GRACEFULLY.

dear varsha,
hope you noticed in this same website under the “polls” tab on top of the page–select it and once the page opens you can see that even in the opinion poll anwesha has scored around 46% to aishwaryas 33%.
may be this can be called a random survey of around 8000 people all over INDIA–but it clearly establishes the mood of the voters and all music lovers.
and varsha let us not forget that star tv should be flooded by requests asking for the declaration of detailed results of votes polled. everyone should understand the significance of this and start asking for the same from the star management.

FRIENDS IT IS VERY EASY TO CONTACT STAR TV BY GOING INTO THE ” CONTACT US” TAB ON TOP OF THIS PAGE.

I have read some men here reacting very conservatively to suggestions of a romance between Anwesha and Abhas. though I myself hadn’t noticed this & It may or may not be true. But what irked me is the extremely patriarchal responses and the arguements given by the men to say this SHOULD not be.
1. by saying this was influence of Western culture– since when pray does falling in love become a Western phemonomenon? please grow up. And in case you hadn’t noticed, our ancient temples and literature abounds with sexual plurality,sexual imagery etc. Please don’t live in the Victorian era becuase that was the era of sexual inhibitions which a few Indian men still want to propogate. Not only this, modern india’s children are growing up with sex education and there is no restrictions of the kind you imagine. Today we all know what happened to a 15 yr old girl( Scarleet) in Goa, plus the SMS case of two 16 yr olds a few years back in New DElhi.

2. By mentioning age– Who are these men to determine which is the right ‘age’ to fall in love? Please stop living in a byegone century. By imposing restrictions you want to propogate a culture of patriarchy where ‘good’ indian girls are supposed to be meek and not think of the opposite gender. Later they can get into arranged marriages. I’m sorry men but you are living in another era. Today’s young boys and girls are extremely aware of sexuality. they are living in an age of media influxes and you cannot wish it away.

3. by talking about morality – what morality pray are you talking about? Is it immoral to fall in love? thses are some of the thoughts of right-wing outfits like BJP and RSS. By containing morality within the sphere of activities to be regulated, men like vyas devkishin and vivace ae undermining the rights of individulas to make choices. Another patriarchal stance. With capitalism comes the impulse to contain the female species and monitor their behaviour to set up dual oppositions of ‘good’ and ‘bad. in truth there is no black or white gentlemen.

Whereas crimiality and corruption is rising, we still have people obsesssed with age-ld conceptions of morality, Puritana nd Victorian cnotions of sexuality as ’sinful’. Let these children be. they have a right to live and love

YOU DO WHATEVER YOU LIKE. I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT YOUR AGE BUT IF YOU ARE A MINOR YOU CANNOT TAKE ANY DECISIONS INDEPENDENTLY .YOUR GUARDIANS I.E. YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER ONLY CAN TAKE IMPORTANT DECISIONS FOR YOU TILL YOU CROSS 18 YEARS OF AGE.
DO NOT IGNORE YOUR PARENTS AS THEY HAVE SEEN MORE SUMMERS AND ATLEAST SEEK THEIR ADVICE IN CRUCIAL MATTERS. THEY ARE THE PROPER PERSONS TO GUIDE YOU. TRY TO CONVINCE YOUR PARENT IF YOU THINK YOU ARE RIGHT.ONE THOUGHTLESS STEP CAN RUIN ANY GIRL’S LIFE COMPLETELY. BEAWARE OF SHARKS EVERYWHERE IN OUR SOCIETY. THEY WILL EXPLOIT YOU AND THEN LEAVE YOU IN LURCH.

Aishwarya has won the title and I congratulate her.

However, for me the real Chhote Ustaad is Anwesha. I still believe that she has not lost by her performance, but solely because of rigging in the votes.

Even her performance on Saturday was awsome and the applause from the people is a glaring proof of her talent. She got more applause from the audience than Aishwarya.

I am also inclined to feel that the show was NOT LIVE. For example, many a times the guests who were sitting down with the public were shown on stage the next moment. How can they jump on the stage in a flash?

Similarly, songs were also not live. The contestants were just lipsynching. Vyom was shown singing on the stage, but the actual voice was that of Abhaas. Similarly, Jayant was shaking hands with the guests and he was seen completely dumb, but still we could hear the song.

Anyhow, the show is now over and I do not want to say anymore on the subject.

However, I still believe that Anwesha is going to be one of the biggest stars of Bollywood and I wish her great success in her aspiration to become a singer.

I think gajji si against bengalis. just see how prantik, geetashri and anwesha were treated in the senior and junior shows.Prantik was at least better than ishmeet,priyani and sumitra he was out at 11′th position. And geeta who was the second or third best was out at second last position.
And anwesha who is beyond all comp. came second. hats off to you gajji we benaglis will boycott all your shows from now on. then you won’t even get good talent and can keep crying in vain. revel in ur aishwarya/ishmeet.

I STAND BY MY THAT STATEMENT ON ANWESHA’S BLOG .THROUGHT THIS PROGRAMME I HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY ADVOCATING FOR CROWNING BOTH THE SINGERS AS CHHOTE USTAD . BUT I AM JUST AN ORDINARY COMMON MUSIC LOVER LIKE EVERYBODY ON THIS BLOG . YOU WILL NOTICE SIMILAR COMMENT POSTED ON AISHWARYA’S BLOG AS I WANTED BOTH OF THEM TO BE DECLARED AS JOINT WINNERS . I PERSONNALY PREFERRED AISHWARYA AS HER VOICE IS SWEET BUT MY HEAD POINTED TO BETTER CLASSICAL SINGER. I WAS IN DILEMMA AND I DECIDED TO SUPPORT BOTH THE GIRLS UNKIKE EVERY ONE HERE BACKING ANWESHA. MANY OF THEM MUST HAVE APPLAUDED SOME OF AISHWARYA’S GREAT PERFORMANCES BUT FORGOT EVERYTHING FOR THEIR OWN MOTIVES AND CONVENIENCE.WHAT A SHAME. YOU REPEATEDLY ATTACKED YOUNG GIRL AND DID NOT SPARE EVEN HER PARENTS. THE SAME TIRADE IS CONTINUING AND THAT REFLECTS ON YOUR UP -BRINGING AND NARROW MINDEDNESS . ALL OF YOU LEARN TO LIVE WITH REALITY
IN SHORT AISHWARYA IS POPULAR CHOICE AND ANWESHA IS CONNOISSEUR’S CHOCE.
THANKS. IN MY EYES BOTH ARE EQUAL AND ARE HEADING FOR A VERY BRIGHT AND SUCCESSFUL CAREER IN PLAYBACK SINGING.

Devkishinji,

Unfortunately this blog has been taken over by kids and teens. Looking at their intelligence level and way of thinking, I wonder how they will transform India from a third world developing country with millions of destitutes to a developed nation!!

Anyway, I request you and other seniors to do something about the young generation of today. I have travelled all over the world and I have seen the youth of most of the developing countries (specially China) very much committed, hardworking and passionate…Although media keeps on saying things like India Shining etc etc, I dont know what to expect from Indian youth in future.

Your comments please Devkishinji.

soon you will find my views on various important matters concerning to -day’s youth particularly young women who badly need support of the society at every juncture .
my one para advice to every young girl is under no circumstances neglect your studies .if you have proper education you can face any problem in life with courage and determination .as aishwarya’s father rightly said the girls are no longer “paraya dhan” they are the real dhan of the society.
every girl as well as parent should ensure that she should be strong enough to face any situation in life. every educated girl/woman is a boon to a society .if you are able to stand on your own feet no one will dare to harass you. this country is full of moralists who will come to the rescue of any woman in distress.with proper education you will become independent in life. an independent woman has no fears whatsoever. come on girls work while you work play while you play.GOD bless you all

I am sure people like Devkishin would have cried foul if Aishwarya would have lost. His Gujarati heart would have burned then.

I am against calling Aishwarya any names……coz she doesnt even deserve a mention if you talk about singing talent and if you consider she is standing against Anwesha.
May be if she would have competed against the lesser known mortals then it was OK to talk about her.

But let me tell you one thing……The fact that a more talented singer Anwesha lost is what hurts. And She lost just because people dont want to pay the respect and credit where it is due. They still want to vote as per the region, language, looks, etc ……when this is a singing competition.

God only knows what would happen if we let this continue to happen. In No time the whole of India will be converted to multiple countries like Europe.

We are crushing the talent right from the first grade in school. The rich kids get better marks. The parents of influential people go and talk to the teachers as soon as their kid doesnt get enough marks. What do the teachers do……. instead of facing the parents……they give away marks……..It is just less headache for them. What about that middle class or even lower class student who is bright…..He is disillusioned into thinking that he is not good enough……… !!!!

Damn the whole society……It is corrupt, biased, racist, and even foul mouthed.

I am sure if this continues…….. we will see a stage in our lives where we will no longer be proud to call ourselves Indian !!!!

There are many in this forum who call themselves Anwesha fans…..but still refused to take any leaf out of her book…. She has shown that even in difficult circumstances it is important to not lose focus and continue to perform. And that is what will get her where she wants to be.

I remember reading somewhere……. She was once told by her parents that if a judge or pandit gives her less marks……..Next time she should perform in such a way that the judge should feel embarrased about the previous time.

It is going to happen soon……. She with her amazing talent will make People like Kunal, Pritam and Most important Shreya ….. feel as if they made a big mistake by calling her equal to Aishwarya. She is far far superior in singing than Aishwarya.

As far as Devkishin goes……I have to sign off by making a remark on him……… !!!!
I remember you telling that you have studied Law……God damn…….you are the most double standard lawyer i have ever come across. I hope there are not many like you out there in the community in India……coz if there are any more like you……India cannot survive.
You dont have etiquettes of net comments.
And you are the worst double standard person on this earth.

Hii All,

It seems lots of people are disappointed with the result and they are expressing here ( I know this is the only place to express your frustration). But does it matter much ? Show must go on. Is it not?

I must repeat the comments of Anwesha and Aishwarys’ parents “ result does not have any significance at that point …” We should encourage Anwesha , because we all know that we have got a beautiful voice in Bollywood.

I am staying abroad and I did not have Star plus at my room. So I did not get a chance to see the prog. live. Later on when I saw “ Mere dolna” from Anwesha I thought I have got everything. I forget everything before that and I don’t want to know what happened after. I wish I could have chance to see Anwesha singing live infront of me “ Mere Dholna.” After seeing her performance I thought that this kind of Crown … voting …. Chote ustaad … bla bla bla ….do not make any impact.

I don’t know whether she will become a singer in future or not , whether she is the best or not …. But people will remember Anwesha forever for her “ Mere Dolna”.

We have 2 great singers Aishwarya and Anwesha.

Let’s consider 2 great singers of the past, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhonsle.

Lata was not versatile like Asha. Only soft romantic songs and sad songs suited Lata whereas Asha had much greater versatility and could sing many different genres. The only aspect in which Lata was better than Asha was in her great voice quality. This voice quality suited heroines for their love and sad songs much better than Asha.

Aishwarya is like Lata. She’s not as versatile as Anwesha but Aishwarya has a fantastic voice quality like Lata and is also expressive. This will suit heroines for love and sad songs much better than Anwesha.

Anwesha’s voice in fact resembles Asha Bhonsle almost perfectly. She is more versatile and can sing a wider variety of songs. But her voice definitely has a nasal twang which can be detected in many songs.

So who’s better, Aishwarya or Anwesha? Depends on whether you like Lata’s type of song or Asha’s type.

I feel that there’s magic and enchantment in Aishwarya’s singing while there’s precision and control in Anwesha’s singing which Is admirable.

Aishwarya is the future Lata Mangeshkar and Anwesha is the future Asha Bhonsle. There’s place for both in India and India needs both.

For me, who’s better? I prefer to be enchanted any day than to be lost in admiration. So Aishwarya is better than Anwesha.

So definitely the deserving contestant has won, for the first time.

Good to see your comment.. Otherwise this site seems to be full of Anwesha’s supporter barring one or two Aish supporter.. I haven’t seen many people comparing the two here with more inclination towards Aish, therefore I liked your comment too (specially you are not putting other one down while praising the one).. Though I am surprised that you haven’t got any harsh reply yet, where in someone would declare you corrupt as well :)

I am a big supporter of Anwesha.. but I agree with some of your points as well, somewhat.. Initially, I also made this conclusion that Aish’s voice tends more towards Lata and Anu’s towards Asha.. though all over people are saying that anu’s voice is similar to Shreya.. I have gone through all audios and videos of both the singers many time to derive my conclusion.. I found Aish’s voice to be really sweet and pleasing to ear (as you say enchanting).. Problem I found is that at time she messes up with the pace of the song and also variations.. It looks that she could not control her songs properly (people referred to her as “Besuri” for that).. Just listen to the two saawariya songs she sang and “chupke Se” song.. end result is that nobody seems to enjoy those songs.. because the basic flaw in singing is clearly evident there.. After listening to her “O Sajna” song, I was compelled to download all her audio songs in my iPod.. For the first time they sounded so good as all of those songs are gems and she appeared to sung them well too.. but with second listening itself I found major flaws in all of them barring “O Sajna” song.. with further listening, I lost the interest listening to them all together.. mind you, all of them are properly recorded songs in an album..

You are right about Anwesha that she has a lot of variations and control.. and it is quite evident from all of her songs.. nasal thing was evident during some of the songs before, but once she started performing on stage and gained more confident, she seems to overcome some of this problem.. perhaps she can take care of it in near future and it doesn’t make her a lesser singer.. most powerful quality in her is to modulate her voice as per songs.. which even very good singer couldn’t do that.. I have seen singers like Poonam do that too, but not as beautifully as Anwesha.. “Ami Je Tomar” is sung twice by her in this show and see the maturity of her voice in the second one!! She sang “Mahi ve”, “Hum Dil De chuke sanam”, “Bhor bhaye”, “Aao Na”, “Ami Je tomar” all from different singers and all with unique voice..

In short, I would say that many cross arguments can be given about their singing.. As per me, Anwesha should be crowned winner as she has emerged as more controlled and versatile singer who can take challenge of singing any classical, semi-classical, folk, different languages, rock, pop, jazz numbers with ease and can give her own touch to all of them.. where Aishwarya failed in most of these categories.. so, this is enough to decide who should be the winner.. You shouldn’t make one winner just becos of more enchanting touch.. And even for that, I found Anwesha’s voice enchanting as well (”Bhoor bhaye” song is an example).. She hasn’t get those soulful songs like Aish to sing to prove that..

Well, these are just my thoughts.. and I am sure many will agree with me here..

Thanks, deven for ur comments.

Just a few of my thoughts here.

1.Voice Quality. This is one aspect which no one can seriously doubt that Aishwarya scores over Anwesha. This is one extremely important factor for a playback singer. Some people say that Anwesha sounds like Asha Bhonsle (my opinion too), others say she sounds exactly like Shreya, some say Ila, etc etc. but she doesn’t have HER OWN IDENTITY. Nobody knows what her own voice is like.
The great advantage of Aishwarya is that she always sings in her original voice. It’s not possible to become a successful playback singer by singing like someone else.

2.Perfection. I agree that Anwesha is technically more perfect. Aishwarya has to learn to control her sur a little better (in many songs she also was perfect). But ‘Practice makes perfect’ however no amount of practice can make a sweet sounding voice.
And what’s perfection? It’s only an illusion. As Pritam said once, more important than perfection for a playback singer is the ability to reach the heart. And I feel Aishwarya is better in this aspect.

3.Expression.Here undoubtedly Aishwarya is better even according to the judges. Give her a soft romantic song and she’ll set the audience on fire.

4.Song selection.The songs given to Aishwarya during the competition were mostly garbage especially after the Jaipur episode. I’m absolutely furious about it. If she’d been given some more songs of Lata’s golden era, she’d have made an even greater impact (and won by a bigger margin).

5.Versatility. I agree that Anwesha is a little more versatile (though she’s failed miserably in the rock and hiphop numbers and Aishwarya’s in fact slightly better in these songs) As I said earlier, Lata was a one track singer compared to Asha, but who’s better? Most of us consider Lata’s better.

To sum up, considering sur control, versatility, etc. Anwesha’s a slightly better singer but Aishwarya’s a better PLAYBACK singer.

This competition is not for declaring a better singer, it’s for declaring a better PLAYBACK singer. And that’s Aishwarya, for sure.

And so, the best playback singer, AISHWARYA has deservedly won the contest

KV – I think you may want to say “To sum up, ‘I THINK’ considering sur control, versatility, etc. Anwesha’s a slightly better singer but Aishwarya’s a better PLAYBACK singer.”.. If you meant the above I am sorry for replying to your post.

As for who sounds good and what sounds good to a person differs from person to person.. Some people like Lata and some like Asha’s modulations. Lata used to ape Shamshad Begum and Asha used to ape a lot of Western female singers.. bottom line is they learnt the techniques from others and obvious they have implemented their own as well. It is at this point may be a very hasty comemnt to generically say the Aishwarya is a better playback than Anwesha.

kvniranjan:
perfect analysis of two different voices. even after the results there is sharp division in opinion about two young singers. while i almost concur with your analysis but anwesha could be equally good at singing lata’s songs.she is too young for assessment of her voice quality. there is every possibility that with age her voice might sound as sweet as that of aishwarya. why not have two latajis instead of one?

dear devkishin vyas,
thanks for your opinion. we people are absolutely not against aishwarya–both are little girls and we know that they ought to get the much needed encouragment.
doubts are raised only because the detailed results were not publicised.
can you please tell me about the source from where you found out about the 2 lakh vote lead by which aishwarya won the competition.
thanks and regards

star plus news channel telecast recorded interview of aishwarya and anwesha at about 12.30 am on 6-4-08 which lasted for almost an hour.both the singers sang more than half a dozen songs,mostly classical based without orchestra. the channel’s correspondent during the course of interview said that aishwarya had polled 13 lacs votes two lacs more than aishwarya. this statement of the correspondent is assumed to be true as the entire programme of chhote ustad was telecast by his channel-star plus.during the telecast of finale i also heard repeated pronouncements of shaan as well as abhaas that there was difference of few-5/6 votes. and you all believe that .god bless you i only wish that was true.

ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UR MORE INFORMATION REGARDS HOW TO CONTACT STAR TV & ALSO AS U SAID ,IT IS SO TRUE THAT ANWESHA HAS BEEN ALWAYS GETTING MORE VOTES ON THIS BLOGGER COMPARED TO AISHWARYA & THIS PAGE IS THE PROFF FOR THAT.
I HAVE WRITTEN THE COMPLAINT AGAINST GAJENDRA FOR NOT BEING TRANSPERENT REGARDING VOTES & THAT PUBLIC HAS ALL THE AUTHORITY TO ASK THIS SINCE WE HAVE INVESTED OUR TIME & MONEY ON VOTING.
LET US SEE WHEN WE WILL GET OUR ANSWER????

which is an intrinsic part of that Gujarati family aishwarya majmudar. she is a rotten girl spoilt through and through. Myab enot a criminal yet,but on the road to one.

SHAME ON YOU GAJ. and shame on gujarat. What would gandhiji think? he would be ashmed of being born in that stae.

i am a south indian and we much prefer Bengali Anwesha for her culture, upbringing and values. Her family is a true indian one whereas ash and her family stink of everything wrong

Dear Mini,

Why do you call them ‘Thse bloody Gujaartis’? Is it because they voted for Aishwarya, a Gujarathi?

Do u mean that only the Bengalis have the right to vote for Anwesha and the Gujerathis have no right to vote for Aishwarya?

anwesha is streets, avenues, national highways better than aishwarya. i cried seeing anwesha sing ami je tomar during the finals.

2. doesn’t mean aish is bad.

3. aish is a better performer (this is VERY VERY different from being a singer, before you all jump on me) than anwesha. by the end of the show anwesha had learned the ropes somewhat – but too little too late.

4. anwesha is a simpler person and not been in the show biz biz long enough to be a charmer. aish was/is/will be a charmer.

5. The mango people aam junta are obviously not the best judges of TALENT – himesh bhai is a glaring and obvious e.g.

6. Just because a person got fewer votes does not mean the results are rigged. It is possible for the lesser talent to win ‘cos of innumerable factors. not discounting the possibility…but its not an empirical obvious ;)

7. JUdges are only human and this is not a Math test or a spelling bee that right is right/wrong is wrong. This is a talent show and there are shades of preferences. There may be any number of reasons the judges may like one person over the other. Humans are biased…for whatever reason…aren’t we biased towards anwesha? don’t you think aishwaryas supporters will find us biased and unreasonable?

it is too early to arrive at conclusions.
anwesha might overtake aishwarya in race to stardom. there is every possibility she might bring back golden era of hindi film music . i am exploring such possibilities . i am looking for a composer who can record classical songs of legends like lata mangeshkar mohammed rafi in anwesha’s voice.
the album will sell like hot cakes. let us hope for the best.
if music be the food of soul it is anwesha’s classical songs .it is “sone pe suhaga”
i still stick to my opinion that anwesha is the best new classical singer in the country.god bless her. i cannot forget her performance in mughal-e azam qawaali. this is true estimation of anwesha’s calibre in world of playback singing.

this iwas posted by mr biswas earlier

PIL should be immediately filed in Supreme court,or Bombay High court,

1) to make all reality show operators to make public COMPLETE VOTING DETAILS from Phone, SMS,and Internet before announcing the results.

2) All Television voting rates should be brought back to normal rates as in other countries.

3) A jury of common people should vote for each candidate after each performance. The jury should be selected by independant eminent people.
This should prove to be a checkmate for fraud by judges/Gajjis/channel owners.

4) Final three or four episodes for say musical contests must have only eminent singers or musicians as final deciding judges.
(if the voting is split between public and judges)

5) Only first names of the candidates must be used throughout the contest. No caste, language or state details to be made known to people.
Vote appeal to be made by the anchor only.

6) Coming to this contest, an injection to be applied for stopping Jaipur episode from airing if Anwesha is eliminated and does not reach finals.

7) Conduct of the organisers of the show which includes judges also to be scrutinised .

8) Effects of public humiliation by judges and their painful eliminations has a deep mental scar on the psyche of very young impressionable children.
What effect will this have on their minds? A psycho analyst’s report must be submitted to the judges (Supreme court) and either make fundamental changes
in the format of such reality show or ban drerogatory or reprimanding comments by the judges all together.

I am in favour of filing a PIL Immediately in Supreme court or Bombay high court to stop airing of the Jaipur and subsequent episodes.
Is any one in India ready to take up the onus ?
WHAT HAPPENS TO THIS PLAN? it is good one

Hi .. there is no point in doing this. Reason there are more than 120 million judicial cases pending and this would another addition. Do you think ‘Educated Gentlemen’ beleive in India’s judiciary system… our country is so badly managed.. there is chaos everywhere and people are so misorganised. I guess it would be just waste of time. Appreciate your points and kind gesture anyways.

Being a fan of good music I am very upset to see Anwesha in second place… but I would like to request all the bloggers who has been supporting Anwesha, to see her interview where She mentioned that ” winning or loosing really does not matter much”….

before you take any wrong step just think once that …if Star voi was not there then we wud not have got a singer like Anwesha ….. so whatever has taken place or has been taken place just take sportingly like Anwesha and her lovely cultured parents…
I think I am really thankful to Star and Gajji to provide that oportunity to me to see a RISING STAR and that is Anwesha….

It is too early to compare Anwesha with Lata or Asha or even Shreya …. She has to go a long way and She will …I THINK ANWESHA WILL SING LIKE ANWESHA NOT LIKE ANYONE ELSE…..

Supposedly Anwesha’s parents don’t even know the difference of votes btn Anu and Aish. Shaan mentioned something like Aish won just by 6, 7 or 8 votes. If that’s the case, then it’s statistically totally insignificant among lacs and lacs of votes. Then Anu and Aish should have been joint winners. Anyway public does have the right to know.

to all music lovers, just go to the 9th video above and listen to masha-allah from aish and then aami je tomar from anwesha – you’ll know who’s what! that ami je tomar song – i can’t believe my ears – that non-stop sargam – reminds me of that breatheless audio – o my god! just unbelievable! anwesha – you always were my winner and you still are! doesn’t matter what gajji decides – you’ll be a winner in life!

We are voting through SMS so we are spending lots of money on it. And when we are voting through internet we are spending huge amount of time and energy. So it should not be taken for granted and Gaj mahashay cannot play with our money, time and energy. All the reality shows should be transparent.

We must ask for an investigation as someone mentioned above, how come the server got crushed for a particular area? Is that true?

Why the voting system stopped all of a sudden? Why they did not declared the number of votes? Why they end up saying there was a little difference!

Why Gaj mahashay changed the format and the rules according to his choice while the show was on? If we do not raise our voice now this will be continued in future too.
Cannot we bring this to any other news channel like NDTV or any other news channel to investigate? Do you think other channel will go against Star plus? Or they will just say Oh we are bhai-bhai!

People may have better ideas, suggestions welcome

Hi Sangeeta – Do not waste your time thinking about the reforms.. It’s not possible in a country where there are 120 million judicial cases pending. I am not sure about you, I have lived in the US for quite some time and I find that an educated layman here is a lot more honest and well behaved than our brothers back in my country though it is only observation and opinion.. you may have a different one.

Our society and outlook has lot of flaws.. the very fact that there are different languages and different cultures sometimes just disbands us. I guess very few people are truly educated and openminded else India is actually a continent.. heehee.. My apologies in case I have hurt your feelings.

Thanks Avi,

I am not a reformer neither I can do it probably I was little upset after the result, Though Ashwariya was not very bad, but when compared to Anewsha I felt the later was better. On the top of it when I came to know about freezing the internet voting and server crashing for certain areas I got really upset, all I felt is this might be another “great karnama of Gaj Mahashay”. It is very clear with what he was doing in last few episodes. I knew he was trying to make Ashwariya the winner. Its not that I did not like Ashwariy’s singing but Anwesha should have won the contest she is certainly better.

Well I agree with you that in West people are not emotional fools and they are really honest in many ways, though I am not very fond of their culture but in India I think its more of agriculture rather then culture these days.

Comment by Avi
2008-04-15 21:25:55

Hi Sangeeta – Not that I am trying to drag this conversation further, I understand your evaluation for Anwesha, but do you have substantial proof that corroborates that Gajodhar was trying to make Aish the winner ? Just for my knowledge sake though. I for sure never like the regional remarks made and wished if I could smack Gajodhar with full throttle.

It is not true that people in the West are not emotional, they are emotional but they are jugemental as well. When the entire country speaks one language it makes a huge difference to the society. Also we talk about culture on one hand and then we talk about caste and reservations on the other, I feel we are hypocrite to a large extent. The agriculture thing was funny though.. I hope it was really culture… people in india Unite only during cricket and Kashmir, I am sorry to say that. In my REC days, I saw 17 fresher celebrations and 17 farewell celebrations every year that people of each state organised! How pity ! Hardly saw people coming for common college freshers and farewell.

I’m not as upset that Anwesha didn’t win than I am for the mere fact that it’ll be a long time before I can listen to her angelic voice again. She entertained us till the very end. I’ll never forget her ‘Ami je tomar’ performance – it’ll resonate for years. I do feel sad for Anwesha though as she has always come in second place in every musical competition she has participated in. I don’t want her to go through life thinking she is second best. But I have faith in her, I know one day she’ll rise in the industry. As for the comments about who was more deserving, as a singer, unquestionably Anwesha was far superior. Her range, control, vocal expressions, voice-modulations, variations are at such a level that I’ve yet to see even some established female playback singers produce. She is an impeccable talent. To compare her with anyone is an insult to music. Everybody knows that she was well beyond this competition.

There was over a 2 lac difference between the votes for these two. Shaan and Abhas said that the difference might only about 4-5 votes, to show respect to Anwesha and give the impression that it was a close match, when in fact it was not. It’s pointless going to court with these statistics. Just let it be. It was just a competition. They will be many more to come. There will be new talents to obssess over. I’m sure everyone will forget about Anu and Aish in a matter of months and move on with their lives. Anwesha certainly has. She said in an interview that the first thing she is doing after the show finishes is riyaaz. She is not upset at the results so why should we be. She knows her potential, we all know her potential, so just give her a few years and then we’ll see where she stands. I’m sure she will be very successful in whatever she wishes to pursue.

Anwesha was the true deserving winner of this show. Gajji has played dirty politics to have his way. He is just a money minded director. His partial editing was going on for 6 weeks and he was capable of fooling thousands of ppl thro this show.

Well about votes: it’s just not possible that the total votes are only 18 lakhs while saregamapa lil champs got over 117 lakh votes!!!

I’m upset that Anwesha only got 5 lakh as a consolation prize. In SRGMP, Tanmay (the second runner-up) alone got more money than both the winner and runner-up combined from VOI:CU!!!. Why is VOI so cheap? Anwesha at least deserves equal amount of money that the winner received. Aish got a contract for 1 crore and a prize check of about 15 lakhs, plus a check of 1 lakh specially donated by Abhijeet! Abhijeet should have also given the check of 1 lakh to Anwesha as well for being a runner-up

yes this post is long. the main point is that anwsha is the best!! it’s just copy and pastee really. please take the time and read if u want.

Like kvniranjan8
Just a few of my thoughts here as well. I prob come off harsh and rudee…but i do not mean it like that i swear. Please do not be mad, i’m just pointing out a few things that i thought was wrong.(:
1.Voice Quality: “This is one aspect which no one can seriously doubt that Aishwarya scores over Anwesha.” 1. really? b/c i think anwesha deff scores over aishwarya. 2. Ur statement, like mine, does not make it a fact. It remains an opinion. 3. BUT i think both their voices are really sweet and perfect for playback singing.
“This is one extremely important factor for a playback singer.” 1. haha yea i agree. And clearly both have these factors.
“Some people say that Anwesha sounds like Asha Bhonsle (my opinion too), others say she sounds exactly like Shreya, some say Ila, etc etc. but she doesn’t have HER OWN IDENTITY. Nobody knows what her own voice is like.” 1. just b/c she sounds like someone elseee does not mean she doesn’t have her own identitty. 2. Along w/ being versatile and making her voice “suit” every song she sings, rather than copy others voices, she has her own originality.

“The great advantage of Aishwarya is that she always sings in her original voice. It’s not possible to become a successful playback singer by singing like someone else.” 1. Once again, anwesha does not sing like someone else, she just suits her voice appropriately for that song. she does have her own originality, so 2. technically its not really an advantage for aishwarya. 3. And besides no matter how good of a voice u have, if ur besuri then it doesn’t even matter. 4. And if it really is all about voice quality, then its okay that ishmeet won, b/c ishmeet had an extremely sweet voice, sweeter than harshit (in fact, harshit was noted to copy kishore kumar or some singer a couple times). However, the better singer remains harshit and he’s the one thats getting most of the record deals and stuff.
2. Perfection: “I agree that Anwesha is technically more perfect. Aishwarya has to learn to control her sur a little better (in many songs she also was perfect). But ‘Practice makes perfect’ however no amount of practice can make a sweet sounding voice.” 1. soo… ur pretty much implying that anwesha doesn’t have a sweet sounding voicee. Woww…i’m sure there will be ppl who will disagreee. She has an amazingly sweet voicee. Just b/c she can make it versatile and sing songs like “mahi ve”, “beedi jalile”, “morni baga ma” etc, doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a sweet voice.
“And what’s perfection? It’s only an illusion. As Pritam said once, more important than perfection for a playback singer is the ability to reach the heart.” can u tell me who this was directed towards please? Just curious, thanks.
“And I feel Aishwarya is better in this aspect.” 1. please go back and recall the comments for “ami je tomar”, “mausam ki adla badli mein”, “hum dil de chuke sanam”, “mahi ve”, etc. and 2. anwesha has barely been given the chance to sing soulful songs. Aishwarya has always been given songs like “masha allah” and “jaan-e-jaan” which no matter who sings, will alwayss sound full of expression and soulful (especially the one she sang on india night, where the judges specifically told her, that regardless who sang that song, it would’ve sounded just as full of expression and gave her an atiuttam and sarvottam). So technically…we’ll never really kno
3.Expression: “Here undoubtedly Aishwarya is better even according to the judges. Give her a soft romantic song and she’ll set the audience on fire.” 1. another claim/opinion. 2. exactly…she’s always given soft romantic songs, b/c no matter who sings them it’ll sound good. 3. even u don’t buy that, then judges are humans.
n).
5.Versatility. I agree that Anwesha is a little more versatile (though she’s failed miserably in the rock and hiphop numbers and Aishwarya’s in fact slightly better in these songs) As I said earlier, Lata was a one track singer compared to Asha, but who’s better? Most of us consider Lata’s better.
To sum up, considering sur control, versatility, etc. Anwesha’s a slightly better singer but Aishwarya’s a better PLAYBACK singer.
This competition is not for declaring a better singer, it’s for declaring a better PLAYBACK singer. And that’s Aishwarya, for sure.
And so, the best playback singer, AISHWARYA has deservedly won the contest

4.Song selection: “The songs given to Aishwarya during the competition were mostly garbage especially after the Jaipur episode. I’m absolutely furious about it. If she’d been given some more songs of Lata’s golden era, she’d have made an even greater impact (and won by a bigger margin).” 1. haha wowwwww!!! aishwarya was given garbage songsss? What about anweshaa!?!?! she was given horrible songsss tooo!!! at least aish was given soulful songss and stuff. Anwesha was given total crap. Singing “dupatta tera” as a last song before the finalee?? 2. lata’s golden eraa? Helloo? When that section was going on during the finale, aish sang all the good singer’s songs. Like lataji, kavita krishnamurthy, and shreya ghoshal. Which most ppl consider to be the greatest singers. 3. win by a bigger margin, we technically don’t kno how much votes each person has gotten. Yes there have been assumptions, but we’ll never kno for sure. 3. i’m sure anwesha would’ve won had she been given at least a few good songs. 4. its clear that u don’t like anwesha, so this blog is most deff will be biased, but u don’t have to indirectly demean her..
5.Versatility: “I agree that Anwesha is a little more versatile” haha a little more versatilee…nicee one. but yeahh definitely she’s versatileee, which is another very important factor for playback singers, as mentioned by shreya gghoshal, adnan swami, kunal ganjawala, and other significant singers.
“(though she’s failed miserably in the rock and hiphop numbers and Aishwarya’s in fact slightly better in these songs)” 1. has anwesha really failed miserably in the rock and hiphop numbers? Which song did she sing that you thought sucked so bad? 2. singing rock and hiphop numbers don’t make u a deserving winner. 3. which song has aish song that was hiphop/rock and that was good. I mean “crazy kiya re” was just atrocious b/c her voice sounded just as sweet, w/o any kind of voice modulation.
“As I said earlier, Lata was a one track singer compared to Asha, but who’s better? Most of us consider Lata’s better.” 1. and why are u comparing anwesha and aishwarya to asha and lata respectively? Whats the reasoning behind that. 2. anwesha is both asha and lata, meaning double the power. :D
“To sum up, considering sur control, versatility, etc. Anwesha’s a slightly better singer” slightly better haha i laugh again
“but Aishwarya’s a better PLAYBACK singer.” 1. okay so now a person can’t be a playback singer if they’re the better singer? Theres two different classifications now playback and just regular singer? hm… 2. theres much more to singing than just playback singing anyways. 3. i guess we’ll never really kno who is better, and we can never say who is better so confidently, b/c they haven’t really started. 4. being the winner doesn’t make u a better playback singer either fyi
“This competition is not for declaring a better singer, it’s for declaring a better PLAYBACK singer. And that’s Aishwarya, for sure.” 1. once again simple logic tells ppl that the better singer is usually the better playback singer, like it has always been, but i guess not….? 2. how do u conclude that aishwarya is the better playback singer, by claiming that she has the better voice? 3. u say yourself that anwesha has more sur, is more versatile, is more perfect (if not already), yet she is not the better playback singerrr just b/c of her voice (which is actually really really sweet). I don’t really think this is the most accurate post. Contradictory definitely, thorough definitely, but not accurate sorry
“And so, the best playback singer, AISHWARYA has deservedly won the contest” after my responses…i don’t think so. the best playback singer and the deserving winner: ANWESHA!! :D

yes me too! anwesha deserved to win. i agree aishwarya is an amazing singer (altho she is besuri a lot of times i noticed), but when there is anwesha competing w/ her, i don’t kno how ppl can say aishwarya is the deserving winner.

two things i would like to point out:
1. I don’t think people would be so involved w/ chhotee ustaad had it not been for anwesha’s amazing talent. we all got so involved when watching anwesha perform numerous times soo amazingly. gajji should take this into account: the fact that one reason his show was popular was b/c of anwesha (no doubt about that). thus gajji needs to repay her back!

and

2. shreya ghoshal was 2nd in her show, and look where she is now. i think anwesha will soon be an awesome singerr as well! and we will all be able to listen to her!

and i definitely agree w/ chronic: “Her range, control, vocal expressions, voice-modulations, variations are at such a level that I’ve yet to see even some established female playback singers produce. She is an impeccable talent. To compare her with anyone is an insult to music. Everybody knows that she was well beyond this competition.:

aajki shreya, kalki anwesha!

My request, all people who are still giving support for Aiswaray’s win should close their eyes for a moment and just listen the song ‘Ami je tomar’, Anwesha has performed in the finale, after that you all will apolozise for not supporting her. All special guests including Amitabh, Juhi, Satish Shah and audience were stunt about her performance. In music, The persons are called Ustad when they are really highly educated in the relevant area and perform excellently to give proper value to the arts of music. The purpose of the ‘Chotte Ustad’ was not to find out the best play back singer. At the end Anwesha was not declared winner, that was a biggest humiliation to all music society ,institutions, legends,artists and real music lovers. Aiswarya might be more suitable for mild playback songs for her voice, but she is definitely not ‘Ustad’.

Claims about Anwesha’s voice being inferior to Aishwarya’s is ludicrous. Her voice is sweet as can be. I agree that Aishwarya’s voice is more rounded and fuller, while Anwesha’s is slightly thinner and sharper, but their voices haven’t even properly matured yet. We’ll know what they’ll really sound like in a matter of a few years. People compare Anu’s voice to Shreya, because of its sweetness. And quite frankly after listening to various renditions by both girls, I actually think Anwesha’s voice is more pleasing to listen to. Aishwarya is good with her low range, but as soon as she attempts higher notes, her voice sounds very very shrill. She very often goes into falsetto when attempting high notes. This is a big no no for singers. Anwesha’s voice will allow for more versatility, whereas Aishwarya will have to remain genre-specific (singing mostly flat, soft songs with not much range) if she hopes to make it as a playback singer.

If people think Anwesha’s voice isn’t nice to listen to (because of the alleged lack of sweetness), then I wonder what they may think of singers like Anamika (winner of SRGMP lil’ champs) and playback singers such as, Sunidhi Chauhan and Richa Sharma. These voices aren’t exactly “sweet” either, but they’re both very successful playback singers.

The problem is Aishwarya sings all her songs in the same monotonous voice, I have yet to hear a song where she attempts to modulate her voice even somewhat. Artists consider voice-modulation to be quite important, it is in no way indicative of the singer not having an original voice of their own, it merely means that he/she is now singing with a professional voice. Why were the judges so excited when Anwesha sang ‘Maiya maiya’ for the first time? Shreya said “you completely changed your voice, wow” – she said this because she knows that voice-modulation is the mark of a true singer.

In my last post I mentioned “Aiswarya might be more suitable for mild playback songs for her voice”, Actually I wanted to mean “Aiswarya will be only suitable for mild playback songs for her voice, but Anwesha will be suitable for all type of songs for true voice-modulation capability. I still can not beleive the song ‘Ami je Tomar……’, what a talent……

exactly. aish fanss. please try to understand that voice-modulation doesn’t mean u don’t have originality in ur voice. it just meanss you can suit your voice for any song requested by music directors. i also agree that aish’s voice sounds pretty shrill when she tries to hit high notes.

and also aish’s rendition of ‘pyaar ka signal’ was veryy annoyinggg. and some of the high parts she sang made me want to pierce my tv. other songs were of course very soulful and sweet, but i’d prefer anwesha’s voice over aishwarya’s (as would many other ppl who kno music and truly love music) anyyy dayyy!!!!

Let me again repeat. Lata Mangeshkar was a one track singer. She never did any voice modulation in a single one of her hundreds of thousands of songs. She sang all her songs in ‘the same monotonous way’. Yet she was the No.1 playback singer of all time so far (In future Aishwarya is destined for that position).

Voice modulation is not the mark of a true great singer. Voice quality and expression even at the cost of a slight reduced sur control (these flaws can easily be corrected in a recording studio) and the ability to sing into the hearts of ppl is much more important than vocal acrobatics.

We are not talking about Lata’s era in todays time are we? There are hardly any singers today that make it far with a monotonous voice. There might be some exceptions to this however.

There is no denying Aish’s tremendous voice quality and she certainly has what one needs to make it in the industry. She needs to, however, develop control, range and modulation. I feel they are quite important. She still has a long way to go before reaching the level of any playback singer of today. I wish her the best…

But Lata was not A BESURA Like AISH. So please don’t even TRY to compare Aish with Lata,the legend. Aish is one of those very mediocre singers with a good voice , which I think are dime a dozen. Aditi Paul, Monali Thakur, Deepali, Neha Rajpal, Himani and specially Nihira Joshi and Poonam were far far better than very average Aish. Who are you trying to fool??

WE hear singers like Aish all the time. What’s the big deal? In the recording studio everyone sounds great – even our Alisha Chinoy and Lucky Ali sound superb. But have you heard Alisha or Lucky ALi sing live?? IMO it’s not about just playback singing – its about being a True Singer and having the qualities to be flawless – that’s what makes one a great singer. Anwesha,unlike anybody else has all the qualities to be great singer. I don’t understand how can someone have the audacity to compare Aish with Lata. Someone who looses sur every time she sings. It’s Hilarious and Ridiculous to say the least!! An INSULT TO LATAJI.

HAI FRIENDS,
IT IS WONDERFFUL TO SEE ALL YOUR COMMENTS–THIS ONLY REITERATES THAT WE ARE IN A FREE DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY–WITH FREEDOM OF THOUGHT AND EXPRESSION. BUT ONCE AGAIN I HUMBLY APPEAL TO YOU ALL TO MIND YOUR WORDS–LET US NOT CALL ANYBODY NAMES-LET US MAINTAIN DIGNITY AND DECORUM IN THIS FORUM–AND OF EVERYTHING LET US NOT ABUSE EITHER AISHWARYA OR ANWESHA, OF EVERYBODY,THE GREAT TALENTS IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER–THIS IS NOT ADVICE–THIS IS A BROTHERLY REQUEST–THE ONLY AREA OR ISSUE WHERE WE ARE AGGRIEVED OR UPSET IS BY THE NON DECLARATION OF RESULTS.

AS MANY HAVE POINTED OUT IT IS THE DUTY OF THE CHANNEL OR THE ORGANIZER TO DECLARE THE RESULTS WHEN IT COMES TO VOTING–HE IS DUTY BOUND TO DO SO–IT IS NOT A FAVOUR THAT HE IS DOING US-IT IS MANDATORY–THE PUBLIC HAS TO BE INFORMED ABOUT THE OUTCOME OF ANY COMPETION LIKE THIS IN DETAIL–DISCUSSION OR DISCLOSURES IN THE COURSE OF AN INTERVIEW IS NOT SUFFICIENT OR DOES NOT FULFILL THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE CHANNEL. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY TRYING TO SAY FROM THE BEGINNING. DOUBTS AND ASPERSIONS SHOULD NOT BE CAUSED ON ANYBODY AND IF IT IS CAUSED IT SHOULD BE CLEARED OFF–MANY OF US SINCERELY FEEL THAT A GREAT ORGANIZATION LIKE STAR TV SHOULD RESPOND TO OUR QUERY—BECAUSE THIS CAUSES ASPERSIONS ON ONES CREDIBILITY–IT IS SURPRISING STAR HAS NOT BOTHERED TO RESPOND BY THIS TIME–
THANKS FRIENDS FOR ALL YOUR VIEWS AND EXPRESSIONS ON THE WONDERFUL TALENTS AISHWARYA AND ANWESHA —THE LITTLE ONES DESERVE OUR LOVE AND WISHES AND PRAYERS AND BLESINGS MORE THAN EVER –MAY GOD BLESS THEM

Most of the Indians are uneducated and sick. They follow the regionalism in the field of culture. I’m not an Indian , and my neutral comment that stupid Gaj(Elephent)endra is Gujju that’s why he made the another Gujju Champ. I live in Canada and found Gujju’s are cheap Bustard about the financial matter. They are also the stupid in culture.

Yes, she was a one track singer, but she wasn’t besuri, like aishwarya. yes she may have sung songs in ‘the same monotonous way’ but her voice quality was much different than previous singers and this is one reason she was so famous. she was also famous b/c she was able to sing that well even when she was 60 and stuff. aish may have an original voice quality but there are so many peeople w/ sweet voice quality that it won’t even matter. people will start looking for extra things in singers like range, versatility, voice modulation, etc. so i realy don’t think aish is destined for that position b/c she has none of these. nowadays you need more than just voice quality. yes i guess lataji also had luck, and it seems aish has an immense amount of luck to. to win chhote ustaad and all.

‘Voice modulation is not the mark of a true great singer.’ says you. anything you got to back that up? shreya ghoshal said it was and i believe she is a pretty accomplished playback singer. first u say voice quality and expression is important and anwesha has both. if flaws can be easily corrected in a recording studio, then a voice can be made to sound sweeter in a recording studio too so that really doesn’t even matter anymore. not only does anwesha have more sur and is always perfect on sur, she has a lot of ‘kaj’ and ‘lae’ in her voice, which aishwarya does not have, and these will never be fixed in a recording studio.
and as far as the ability to sing into the hearts of ppl goes, anwesha has already touched everyone’s hearts. and everyone feels she is the true winner. just close ur eyes and listen to her new rendition of ‘ami je tomar’ and tell me why it doesn’t touch your heart.

so according to ur criteria of a perfect playback singer as well as the rest of india and CU lovers, anwesha is the perfect playback singer!

Other than Asha, who else was there to compare Lata with? Out of the millions of people in India even back then, were Lata and Asha the only decent female singers in the country? I think not. I have heard many so stories about Lata blocking the way for many female singers to make their mark in her time, because she wanted to remain supreme queen of Bollywood music. Her voice was accepted back then, because the public had barely heard what any other female singer sounds like. People tended to stick with what was already familiar to them. Things have, however, changed significantly since then. The types of qualities of voice accepted in todays society is more varied than back then. Everybody has their own personal prefrences. Sweet voices are a dime a dozen in Bollywood, one requires a lot more to be successful.

Some of my thoughts abt the fans and supporters of Anwesha (nothing personal, only my observations)

1.Voting. Only Anwesha has the right to get any votes, Aishwarya has no right to get votes. Yes, ppl have the democratic right to vote, as long as it’s for their contestant Anwesha. All ppl voting for Aishwarya are corrupt and part of corrupt voting system.

2.Exclusion. Only Anwesha should get a place in Bollywood and all doors should be shut to Aishwarya. Even entry into Mumbai should be barred for Aishwarya.

3.Winning. In any contest, only their contestant has any right to win. Examples are Sanchita and Anamika (PHEW! 2 of the most ghastly singers I’ve ever had the misfortune to hear in my life) And to think that Aishwarya, who was about 2 years younger than Sanchita and a 1000 times better and also in the contest, was forced out of the contest by Sanchita’s and other contestant’s parents just to make Sanchita win.
Even at that young age, Aishwarya was singing like an angel and deserved to win that contest. Even in this blog some have commented that Sanchita and Anamika are deserving winners!

4.Regional voting. If Bengal gives votes for Anwesha it’s on merit but if Gujarat votes for Aishwarya, it’s regional biased voting.

5.Songs. The best song of the entire competition from first to last, is Albela Sajan, a masterpiece! Yet none of them is willing to give credit to Aish for this song. Anwesha would never in a 1000 years be able to sing this song in that way. You mention Ami je tomar over and over, but Aish was not given any equivalent song in the finale. If she’d sung Albela Sajan, everyone would have cried that day.

6.Anwesha’s supporters ignore the string of mind blowing songs given by Aishwarya throughout the contest.

7.Abusiveness. According to Anwesha’s supporters, ‘Thse bloody Gujaartis, what do they think of themselves’ In other words, how can they dare to vote for Aishwarya? Further, Aishwarya’s family is corrupt, the whole community is corrupt. Aishwarya herself is maybe not a criminal yet, but on the road to becoming one!!!!

So dear Anwesha’s supporters, please think abt the above, be more tolerant and inclusive, and at least give credit where credit is due. Thanks.

Just decided to tell you that the points you raise are kinda……..pointless:

1. Aishwarya does have rights to get votes. She just doesn’t deserve to win when there is someone more deserving. You keep missing the whole pointt. People voting for aish aren’t corrupt, they just don’t have good reasons to be supporting aish. All the points they point out applies to anwesha b/c anwesha is equal to aish and so MUCHHHH moreee.

2. nobody is saying that aish shouldn’t get a place in bollywood. The point is that anwesha was/IS the deserving winner of CU. Its not about who makes it to bollywood or whatever.

3. Yes Sanchita was a deserving winner. Have u heard her beedi jalile? It was unfortunate that they didn’t let aish come back but u can’t hold that against ppl who don’t like her. And anamika has a really powerful voice too. Yeah it deff isn’t sweet but she’s a good singer. I guess you’re just missing the whole point of shows like svoi and saregamapa. And even if u think they’re horrendous, why are you comparing them to anwesha? Anwesha is 2374928342934234 times better than both of those two combined.

4. I dont where ur getting all this crap or if ur just making these up, but you’ve gotta stop. They’re really just BS. And even if u don’t buy that. Watch the kolkata episode and then the ahmedabad episode, and please don’t be biased.

5. Everyone’s giving credit to Aish’s albela sajan b/c that was truly an amazing song sung by her, also prob her only good performance, to tell you the truth. Haha i bet anwesha could sing the same song 2982094 times better! I have no doubt about that. The best performance in the whole show was DEFINITELY and UNDOUBTEDLY and UNDISPUTEDLY the latest ‘ami je tomar’ rendition by anwesha. Yeah there’s a reason its being praised..

6. same goes for aish supporters. Which song of anweshas was bad? None. Which song of aish’s was? Hmm…like a couple. Soo…there u have it. Anwesha supporters are not thick and ignorant like aish’s supporters. We are constantly praising both of them, but it is clear to all music lovers that anwesha is just better. Its okay to face the fact, okay. It may hurt, but its the truth.

7. a little overeacctingg?? and exagerrating..? yes there have been claims of aish and her family’s corruption, etc backed up w/ strong evidence and stuff, but it doesn’t mean its true. I mean aish’s dad looks like a really really nice person and there whole family looks like they have a really good relationship and everything. These are just assumptions so stop taking things so seirously.

So dear kvniranjan8, please stop making ridiculous claims. Its great that you support aish but at least give some good reasons as to why than just repeating that she has a good voice quality. b/c truth is, and i’m sure you kno this too, that aish goes out of tune a LOT of times, especially recently, unlike anwesha. You even admit that anwesha is the closest to perfection. And like many other before me have said, its not about voice quality anymore, b/c everyone’s voice quality is somewhat original. It takes a lot more to be a playback singer than just voice quality. Also, this is deff a anwesha supporter blogsite, so if you think everyone’s just biased or wahtever, i suggest you go to a aish supporter blogsite unless you can’t find one. (haha woww that was really really mean on my partt. I’m really sorry…but i’m just ticked off that so many ppl are just like oh anwesha’s just gonna be asha bhonsle, or sunidhi chauhan b/c she doesn’t have what it takes to be shreya ghoshal and i guess i just belted it out on you so sorry)

Mr kvniranjan the whole point is ash got only regional support, whereas anu got support from the ENTIRE country. watch all the live shows aagin

and PLEASE don’t make a luaghing stock of yourself by comparing ash with lata. and by the way, asha bhonsle is a better,more versatile singer she has won filmfare and national awards more den laat. Evn den Ash is just a besuri girl and u r just showing that u r a fanatic supporter,nothing else. Here ppl have said aishwarya is worse then ishmeet as a singer, n u r comparing her 2 laat! she had better b comapred 2 the frog in the story ‘a frog and a nightingale’ where a frog tries to teach singing 2 a nightingale. Hetre frog+ash, nightingale+anwesha

the truth is ash with all her contacts will neevr b able 2 make it as a playback singer. so dream on

Haha.. you got excited too.. don’t worry about the people.. they wud say anything.. u can easily make out who is making sense and who is not.. I admit you have valid points in your comments.. I just go through those comments that highlights about these magnificent singers, which probably I missed.. see, I need to listen carefully to Aish’s “Masha-allah” rendition to admire her.. I wud say that one was perfect rendition and I like it more than the original version of Kunal.. I wud say “Albela saajan” was mind-blowing.. I won’t say it is better than “Ami je tomar”, but no less.. I liked “Man Mohana” even better..

Point is that both of them are a class apart.. I was wishing all the times that only these two shall be in the final, and that happened.. and how they entertained us man.. I still persist with Anwesha as my favourite to win this title, as I loved everything about her; whereas there are things in Aish, which I didn’t like.. This doesn’t mean that Aish is much lesser.. If one is excellent, the other is perfect.. This contest is over and we have a winner, which we can’t change.. Now the real thing will be who is going to emerge more in the music scene.. people can again give very strong comments about that, but only time will tell..

For Sanchita and Anamika.. they were good enough for that show.. people will only remember them in these types of blogs.. we appreciated so many talents over last 3 years thru these shows.. but the reality is that we find new singers doing playback in movies who never participated in these shows.. I waited and waited that poonam will get any break in movies; but so far nothing happened.. sumedha was promised to be given a break in Jannat.. where is her song?haha.. Nihira is so talented, but she didn’t get that many breaks so far.. Himani is just doing tv shows that’s it..

In short we can discuss and discuss who is the best, but will reach at no conclusions.. things like corruption, regional biasing all will come.. but the fact is that we have our own favorite our own reasoning.. let it be.. good for discussion in this blog.. Shreya is not afraid that Anwesha and Aish will emerge as playback singers and that her position is in threat.. She knows that this is another reality show and to reach upto her level these girls have to go really really far..

There is abuse on both sides, which is unfortunate. You should vist some of the other blogsites. There are some seriously disgusting comments all over from supporters of both contestants. It’s just that this particular blog is more in support of Anwesha. I do agree that Albela Sajan was Aishwarya’s best performance and she should have sung in the finale. But the best performer of that particular song, overall, remains Amanat Ali.

ahh! I am just thinking at 14 years, Anwesha starts a song and its barely seconds that the public start clapping … Isn’t that a huge reward ? .. Man she left Mumbai with a mark and I am happy about it .. Funde Sahi hai to kahi bhi fit ho jaata hai Insaan.. is bandi ke funde ekdum pakke hain.. Anwesha kiddo aur mehnat karo .. koi seema nahi kuch nahi .. padhaai (studies to complete karna hi hai) and music .. bas ! Hum tomhaara album to pokka Khoridoonga !! hee Bongali istyle mein bola !!!… kya karun control nahi hua after I saw your “Mere Dholna”… Daarun Geyechis kono kotha hobe na .. For once Shreya was also taken aback .. Jio Jio !!! Do not worry a lot of serious good wishes are with you and that makes a huge difference!

Shreya was trying to keep pace with her.. but I guess, Anwesha took it to next level, which even she (Shreya) realized she can’t sing.. I also say the same thing, man, at an age of 14 to have such a maturity!!!..

shaqs, how much time will it take for her album to comeout man!!! and of course I am looking for her solo album like million of her fans.. I am sure if some music composer is intelligent, he/she can make good bucks by cutting an album with her pretty quick…

Deven – In case you haven’t heard her playback singing yet, here is the link for one original song that she has rendered I guess 2 years back ?
Search for “Mohiyoshi Anwesha” on google should take you to site called hummaa.com and you can find the song listed.. let us know how you find it …

and you know what.. I didn’t feel that here her voice matches to lata, asha, kavita aur shreya.. she sounded so unique and beautiful.. very melodious.. doesn’t seem that a 14 year has sung it.. sound like some very mature singer of huge experience, control is singing it..

this proved one thing.. she is not replacement of anyone.. she will make her own mark in a big way.. most importantly for a new song, she has done such a good job.. I am listening to this song right now 5th time straight !!!

IN ANSWER TO MR KVNIRANJAN

1.VOTING– YES, ONLY DESERVING SHOULD GET VOTES. NOT A SINGER LIKE ASH WHO IS NOT TECHNICALLY NOR CLASSICALLY PERFECT. IF ANWESHA WAS NOT HERE, NOBODY WUD HAVE SAID ASH DID NOT DESERVE.BUT TRUTH IS ANWESHA IS 100 TIMES BETTER WHICH AUDIENCE IN EVERY CITY, JUDGES AND ARTISTS REPEATEDLY PROVED.

2. EXCLUSION-nobody is saying ash does not deserve a place in Bollywood. but not yet. she has a long way to go whereas Anwesha can step into a recording studio RIGHT NOW and be perfect at it.

3.WINNING- what is this about ‘theirs’ and ‘ours’? i am not a Bengali,does that mean I cannot support Anwesha? even if I was a Gujaarti, i would have supported Anwesha becuase a singer like her is difficult to find.
You are exposing your narrow-mindedness by calling Sanchita and Anamika ‘ghastly singers’. they were the best of the lot, undoubtedly. surely Judges like Sonu nigama nd Alka Yagnik who supported them are not fools?
You are showing your own limitations by calling them bad, bcoz they were DESRVING singers. PROOF-when they won, there was no such comments as we find in this blog. MOST PPL WERE SO HAPPY THAT THEY WON. and u can check out the blogs,i f u don’t believe. even rohanpreet’s supporters acknowledged Anamika was better.

4.REGIONAL VOTING– PPL r pointing fingers at gujarat because they ahve made undeserving win. Same with north-east for prashant, same with punjab for ishmeet. its not only gujarat. HOWEVER NOT A SINGLE SINGER FROM BENGAL WHO WON WAS UNDESERVING, EXCEPT MAYBe DEBOJEET. and dat 2 debojeet got more votes from north-east,not bengal as he was a bengali from assam and north east went crazy voting 4 him.

5.SONGS- ONLY A BIASED ASH SUPPORTER CAN SAY ALBELA SANJAN WAS BEST SONG. GIMME A BREAK! ANWESHA CAN SING DAT 100 TIMES BETTER DAN ASH. ON D OTHER HAND, ASH WUD FALL RIGHT ON HER FAT FACE IF SHE EVN ATTEMPTED AAMI JE TOMAR. in all the duets they sung , anwesha was better.

6. GUJAARTIS- i have nothing against dem or for dem but it was pretty evident from this show that ash’s aprents r corrupt. eevrybody has said dis, when ash won d first thing camera focused on ash’s father n he was saying 2 his wife ‘i told u na’. As 4 guajart, honest partcipants like Mirande shah are also from gujarat. So all gujartis ar not bad, but in this case dey proved narrow-mindedness

I am bengali and I must say Debojit was really bad and no way was comparable to Nihira.. Nihira should have won that competition, she was the most learned and surila ! Sur is the fundamental of singing you cannot miss it period!

When I say I am bengali, I would also like to say I am bengali from North East India (basically born and brought up in Assam). For me all bengalis are same just wanted to make it clear that I value singing more than any regional bullshit and emotions.

You should hear Aish’s version of “Crazy kiya re,” it was even worse.

Yaar, I don’t think Aish can sing songs like that.. the way she s’ed “Soni de Nakhre” song before.. I don’t have any expectation from her, but I do have from Anwesha, as she is my favorite.. but I can understand why that might have happened.. for the finale, they were pushed to such a limit that they have to record so many songs and also prepare for all those dramas on stage that it bounds to happen.. despite of that, man, “ami je tomar”.. oh my gosh, have no words !!!

I felt Anwesha sounded like she had a cold or something for some of her songs, I don’t know. I heard she was sick before, so that must’ve affected the way the song sounded on the whole. I agree Anwesha should’ve sung the song with a little more energy like the original. But I’m sure she was too tired to sing with any kind of energy…

i think she was sick too. b/c like her voice sounded kind of nasal. like not nasal in a bad way, but like nasal in a way that you could tell that sardi hui thi. buttt that was still FANTASTIC the way she sang ami je tomar.

I must add more points to my previous 7.

8.ONLY WE KNOW MUSIC. All others who are Aishwarya’s supporters don’t know the first thing about music.

9.WHEN WE SAY ANWESHA is BETTER, that’s the end of it. The whole world better accept it. No dissent or arguments tolerated.

10.Sanchita and Anamika (WHEW!) are deserving winners. So everyone better accept it because WE said it. If you see the videos of Sanchita, you can see how disgusted the judges were and reluctant to give her points. Btw, both Abhijit and Alka were tremendously impressed with Aishwarya in that show (now they’re admirers of Aishwarya for life) It was their fantastic praise for Aishwarya that made Sanchita and others nervous and depressed and they got Aish removed from the show. The song ‘Beedi Jalile’ was sung with a folk song voice. In fact Sanchita can be a folk singer and nothing beyond that.

11.ONLY ANWESHA deserves to get votes and she’s the only deserving singer. It’s true because WE SAID SO.

12.The song Albela Sajan could be sung by ANWESHA 2982094 times better. It’s proved because I said so.

13.Not a single singer from Bengal was undeserving except Debojeet, because though a Bengali, he was from Assam and not from Bengal, so he is undeserving.

14.THREATS. Gajji, in future you won’t get anybody from Bengal, so the whole of Indian music has to rot without any talent (there’s no talent anywhere in India except Bengal)

15.Finally, the most important point, WE’RE always right and the rest of the world is always WRONG

I must add more points to my previous 7.

8. we’re not saying that aish fans don’t kno music. its just that they don’t have any good reasons to like aish. get it right gosh.

9. are we not tolerating arguments. we’re tolerating random crap from ppl like ‘oh keep on quacking’ and other sht liek that, but we’re tolerating. ppl are constantly oblivious and stick to the same thing of aish deserving to win. are we not tolerating that? just because we wanted to voice our opinions too and refute back, all of a sudden we don’t have the right to do so.?

10. you’re like a crow u kno that? i man i guess its not necessarily bad but its true. you seem to pick out the bad things (just like a crow picks out the garbage when eating) about anwesha fans and post them on. look at the good stuff, at least we give legit reasons to like her. and folk song is now being regarded as a bad thing? yes maybe they only have voices for folk, but they were better than the other contestants.

11. not only b/c we said so but b/c we gave legitimate and credible reasons to like her better.

12. no its not proved just like the hundreds of things you say. come on this is a blogiste where ppl post OPINIONS! get it THROUGH YOUR HEAD! however, i FEEL that anwesha can sing 100% better than that. you may not THINK the same way. i was just trying to make a point. but i do THINK anwesha would have taken that song to a whole new level had she gotten the opportunity to sing it.

13. i don’t kno what this issue was about so i will not make any comments about it.

14. neither do i kno abuot this, however, i have a feeling you are being redundant.

15. way to summarizee! gotta give you props/kudos for that. no the rest of the world isn’t wrong b/c the majority of the world is for anwesha. teeeheee but yeahh..

look this will prob never end. you’ll stick to ur ridiculous/illogical reasons and i’ll stick to my (somewhat logical) reasons to prefer these to competitors. lets just call it truce and end it here. unless i see something else that i strongly stand by. then i would take all my time to respond to it. thank you very much.

I have to disagree ewith Mr KV in a lot of things but the first thing which any normal lover of music would know is AISHWARYA IS DEF. NOT READY FOR PLAYBACK. If Nihira joshi and Poonam and Arshpreet have not yet got offers, forget AishwaryA! i also don’t think Ash should become a singer. She has some fundamental flaws in her singing.

1. She CANNOT connect to crowd- esp. seen in bhopal, Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai episodes where people just seemed disinterested after ash’s performances.This depuet ash’s nahkres and melodramatic expressions. in Mumbai especially the cheers always started AFTER ash left stage.

2. I DON’T AGREE SHE HAS A GOOD VOICE QUALITY- in fact, her voice is shrill(false) on high notes and a bit too rounded. Yes, lata jee’s voice was also rounded. but ash’s a bit TOO rounded. this disguises the fact that her control over sur is purely AVERAGE. anwesha on the other hand had mind-blowing control over sur, her range and throw are god-gifted. Ash is lucky in a way that her voice quality overshadows such a major problem. 3 songs she screwed up are – ‘Crazy kiya re’(terrible!), ‘Kehta hai man’ and ‘mera piya ghar aaya’. in finals she was lousy and clumsy with ’signal’ and ‘barso re’. ‘in Dino’ showed her limitations in pitch and control. She just cannot reach high notes effortlessly.

3.MONTONOUS- why she never has crowd rooting for her like they do for Anwesha(Maahi ve and aami je tomar) is because she sings in the same monotonous, flat voice. no voice modulation, no efforts to improvise. Just shows How anwesha scores over her-there is just no comaprison. Anwesha is a pro in the diff. components of singing she can perfect every little layer with so much confidence. i don’t agree she can do playback for soft, romantic songs either. for that we already have shreya who will be around for a long,long time. Sumedha who also has a soft, sweet voice can do playback because she hardly slips in playback. Aishwarya falters on lower notes, her alaaps r not perfect. so she cannot do playabck

Like many befor her, she will be confined 2 stage shows but since she isn’t good in retaining audience either i’m afraid Ash cannot be a singer.

Mr K.V. a Gujarati is trying to spoil Bengalis’ name. I would advise everyone in the blog to try to put him in his place.

Here he is just frusterated because people have pointed out narrow-minded and regional attitude of Gujaartis. this is pointed out in this blofg by hemant dada, a Gujaarti himself. he has aclled his home crowd ‘partisan’ and i have to agree.

Mr KV whether you like it or not the industry has always been dominated by bengalis(not just the music industry). Anyway this year Shreya and Shaan both bengalis won filmfare awards for 3′rd or 4′th time. Kishore Kumar the GREATEST bollywood singer was Bengali. he was not reven trained, yet is still the most popluar. Today the fastest-selling albums are of preetam’s. Shantanu moitra is very classy. He took home the RD burman award(again a bengali) Abhijeet and madhushree are two other Bengali bollywood singers who are big.

Coming to reality shows well there again…most of the winners are Bengalis! Aneek, Ruprekha, Ujjaini, Debojeet, Sanchita, Anamika(not 2 mention Shreya in past)no other comm. can give so many winners. You Gujaartis give us 1 mediocre sing

we that too whom eevrybody is calling ‘undeserving’ and who won when ANWESHA a magnificent singer was there…you should be ashmed of yourselves. that too nobody has EVER accused us of being CORRUPT. because we are NOT.

Today the top music composer(PREETAM), TOP MALE SINGER(SHAAN) TOP FEMALE(SHREYA) are Bengalis. Saregama last 4 winners have been bengalis. in indian idol 3 the best were all Bengalis- Amit, Emon, Puja. In VOI junior the best ANWESHA legend in making is ours. SO WHY SHOULDN’T WE BE PROUD?
and its not a threat- but the truth. THE DAY BENAGLIS BOYCOTT REALITY SHOWS WILL END. who will win? you crass gujaartis?

Payal, well said. I am a Punjabi but I agree 100% with you. Gujaratis have given us 1 winner that too over whom everyone is raising a hue and a cry,and they are posting such msges. Anyway Aishwarya will never be a singer. Oh did I forget Mr Ganjawala? He reallly cannot sing. His breath control is SOOOOOOOO poor. fIRST YOU GUJJUS SHOULD LEARN HOW TO BE FIR,REDUCE WEIGHT AND THEN THINK OF PLAYBACK.
