I am punjabi too and i have learnt little music so my personal view abt Ali akbar is that may be hes too technical and well trained but his Singing lacks soulfullness....besides his murkis and taans which he takes in almost all the songs( Even if its not required), his voice and singing doesn't touch the heart and thats the reason he got voted out by the masses on the otherhand Jaswinder singh who sings from the heart and his singing and voice quality has that divinity which not only touches the heart but also the soul...i have heard Jaswinderji in delhi where he was introduced and awarded by the legend Pt Hari prasad Chaurasia as the Young Maestro where he shared the stage with Hariharan ji...i tell you Jaswinder was superb and not even a bit lesser than Hariharanji which is a gr8 acheivement....all i can say that i really feel bad that Jaswinder singh was not given enough chance to show his skills and entertain us with his wonderfull voice..its a loss of Sufi genre ...am sure we all agree that we like Ali abbas more than Ali akbar only coz hes singing is soulfull and does touch the heart and thats all sufi singing is all about!
