Here's my take on this. There are certain kinds of compositions that are just out of this world. The notes touch the strings of the heart and the singer can connect to the listener's soul easily. Irfan, Aneek, Sriram and Akanksha were lucky to get such songs on Sunday. Anwesha's was a peppy number definitely not in that category. I think she did all that she could do for this song. Unfortunately, she got to sing only one powerful and soulful song in this competition, which was "Hum dil de chuke sanam" which blew us all away.
Irfan and Aneek's songs had the expected effect on the audience and they brought out the beauty of their respective songs.
Sreeram and Akanksha put too much effort in their singing. Like Alkaji said, I thought they overdid it which took away some of the beauty of the songs. If you listen carefully, Akanksha sur was also slipping in some parts.
Sharib's song was a dry, boring and difficult number. In my opinion, he did do whatever justice he could. I think Akanksha was weaker than him and she should have been eliminated instead of him.
Agreed 100% on the bold part...Aneek & Irfaan did full justice to their respective renditions on Sunday...Aneek was extremely soulful while Irfaan's song was a perfect fit for him coz he sings with a lotta thehrav n that was the primary requirement in his rendition 😊 Sreeram tried too hard & did not come up with the desired effects...one of his relatively weaker perf I would say...👎🏼
Akansha has always played her cards accordingly...she has a limited range n resorts to controlled singing which somehow works in her favour so despite being a weak link...she gets away...😆...but it is apparent nonetheless...n regarding Anwesha...she was outstanding in her Sat recital...but can't say that her sunday perf was a total washout either!! 😳...she had a very difficult scintillating number...n ya even though she did appear to be breathless in parts...that was again a key element in the rendition...but the husky n amazing texture of her voice is depicted in the song...which brings out the perky essence...& that is laudable indeed...👍🏼...n this was so not her genre to begin with...yet she gave it a shot & pulled it off to an extent...
For a subtle reserved girl of her stature...Anwesha tried her best n maybe there are minor glitches but what the heck!...while her versatility speaks volumes on her sat's rendition...she was def. not on the downside on Sunday as well barring her form in the earlier epi of this season...her graph has shot up considerably & how!! 👏
What is really praiseworthy is that Anwesha never resorted to playing it safe by sticking to her signature scores like 'Mere dholna' or even an 'HDDCS' for that matter which she attemped only once on JJWS 2...she has dared to explore other styles n step out of her comfort zone at this stage of the comp...knowing that it may have dire consequences...attagirl! 😃
