Today was probably the last gala. I would've expected some power packed performances, but instead we had to be content with average performances.
My review-
1. Khudabaksh - he could've scored with this song. It's a fairly simple song, even an average singer could sing this well. That's how beautiful the melody is, this song doesn't expect much from the singer. Today KB brought back his harkats. Even my husband who barely understands Hindi, and hardly ever listens to Hindi music could say how many times he went out of tune. This song has a very rustic feel to it and that's KB's genre, but today he didn't use it to his advantage. Vishal thought it could be the performance of the day, really? That Farah and Sonu would praise him was a given.
2. Revanth - another ok performance. This song is energetic and fast paced. But energetic doesn't mean grunge. In places grunge was fine, but the entire mukhda? The song is set during the time of Bajirao, rock music didn't exist. Give it your own twist, add some rock, but don't completely change the feel. On the positive side, loved his energy. If this song was from a movie set in today's world, I would've had praises for him. He didn't sing bad, his energy was amazing, his stage presence outstanding. He was singing a song with A lot of Marathi words and the tempo is fast, so hats off for that. Let's not get into Marathi pronunciation (after having lived in Maharashtra for quite long I'm still pathetic with Marathi pronunciation). All in all everything was good, just didn't get the right feel.
Rohit - another average performance. Quite some pronunciation errors, they weren't horrendous but he'll need to work on them. A beautiful soft song, suited to Rohit's style. He even added his own tadka, some good some ok. But he seemed to be low on energy. It was a dull performance. Technically there were a few mistakes, not too bad but it seemed like he knows he's in the finals and is now complacent.
Ranking -
1. Revanth and Rohit - one lacked the right feel, the other was dull. No one was outstanding.
2. Khudabaksh
It was wonderful to hear Nahid Afreen. I haven't watched Indian idol junior, so was my first time. She is really good. I'm glad inspite of the fatwas against her, she's continued to sing and defied those who issued the fatwas.
So today we had Parineeti confess she's a Rohit fan, Nahid confess she's a KB fan, poor Revanth. They should've brought someone or a video clip from one of his numerous fans.
Again we had the same shy KB and the actress trying to flirt/get rid of his shyness. Revanth confessing his admiration and dancing with an actress. Who is still amused? Maybe they should cut the crap and give us 2 performances for each contestant.
And Vishal and Sonakshi just ruined Gulaabi Aankhein. They were so besura!! Sonu was good on the drums.
All in all, a very poor episode, especially considering we have our three finalists.
