Round 5: Alka Yagnik - Page 3

@ssk and everyone else in general

I felt this song was better sung than Mere Humsafar. The high notes were close to flawless (she retained her tonal quality) and her involvement with the song/lyrics was awesome - honestly it moved me very deeply.

On top of that - this song is more difficult than Mere Humsafar. Firstly the Raga Yaman portion is a much harder tune to carry than the more predictable and simpler tunes of 'Mere Humsafar' and 'Teri Ore'. Secondly this song utilises a very large range of notes - not only does it have highs, it also has lows in the form of 'varna dil kyun dhadakta ...' Thirdly, there were more harkats.

Therefore this is, in my view, a very complete performance. I hope people agree with my view and I hope the listeners and music lovers out there derive as much pleasure as I did, from Alkaji's singing in this song.

It would be very regrettable if Alkaji was ousted from the competition for this song.

Marks below 5 should be ignored as it is rubbish.

But contest or not Alka ji is one of the best ever singers. These days I do not see anyone around to match her unfortunately.

I would disagree with that. Not the 1st part. But the last sentence.

Well I definitely loved this song and completely loved the transition to the lower notes varrnaaa dil kyun. Did not have any issues with the higher notes either

Hey simi! Thanks for your post - yes I think Kalyani is the Carnatic equivalent of Yaman. For a beginner like me, it's v difficult to work out the raga on which a film song is based, so u can check out http://chandrakantha.com/raga_raag/song_title.html for such info - it only has Hindustani ragas I think.

And thanks for your score, too! It might not be a 10, but 9 is very high as well - inevitably some people will prefer Mere Humsafar to this, which is fine - they're both awesome performances!

So is it a tie between Alkaji and Sunidhi for second place?
