Nice analysis Tally. Loved reading it. I like your points and song selections.
I'll just comment on a few contestants:
I don't think Abhishek should pick Suraj hua maddham to prove his versatility though. He already sang a few Sonu songs in the piano round. Not that singing Sonu songs means one is not versatile. But people will assume that. Plus his Idol is Sonu Nigam. I think he should opt for Tadap Tadap or Parda Hai Parda to show his versatility.
I agree about Puja's voice. It just doesn't appeal to me. Just my honest opinion. 😛 Thought must credit her song choice. She's picked some good songs in the piano rounds. I don't know about bubbly personality, she comes across as somewhat serious. But it doesn't matter. We don't know them personally.
Its true that Richa lisps. I don't know if its purpose or not. Well, lets see how she does in the galas. I really don't want to hear Lambi Judaai anymore. No offense, I really like the song but its sung on almost every show. There's this song from the film Tum Bin- Meri Zindagi Mein - which would suit Richa's voice. Another one is Suna Suna from Krishna Cottage.
Chang's competitors. Well, I'll be nice, everyone from the guys (in terms of singing) and Deepali, Charu. Since his voice suits certain songs, I don't know he'll do in future episodes. Lets wait and hear :D
Wow, Deepali- real playback material! 👏 Nice girl next door image works in these shows, doesn't it? Being a vamp or a drama queen doesn't help. 😆 I think she could improve in the performance dept. She admitted before singing dheeme dheeme that she would focus on singing and only singing. But this is II3, even if you sing like crap, you can still get votes if you perform and look good.
As for Emon, I think he should put an end to mimicry. Its really entertaining but I don't know how people will take to him mimicking some well known personalities in music. Even Rakhi's mimcry was funny in BB but people got annoyed of it after all. As for singing, he's got the voice, the training, the support! Definitely no match for Amey or Karunya though.. 😊
I'd love to hear Amit sing Chaiyya Chaiyya or some other high energy Sukhwinder song. I loved his dil lena! X Factor was his voice in that performance! Seriously gave me goosebumps. 😛
Totally agree with your analysis too.
-Abhishek should not sing more Sonu songs. I know people feel that Emon sounds like Sonu but I personally think that Abhishek sound smore like Sonu esp since he has sang almost all of Sonu's songs. I'd like to hear him sing Tadap Tadap or the song from Lakshya, Haan Yahi Rasta Mera.
- Emon, I'd like to hear him sing an A R Rahman or a Kailash Kher song, because i think he sings well in the high ranges. I wish he would attempt to sing a Dil Se Re, because if he can pull that off, its like a total package. Also, maybe a fullll out classical like Jhanak Jhanak or even pary classical like Tose Naina Laage from Anwar
- Prashant and Chang: Semi classical songs to show versatality
- Amit, totally agree Sonya, want to hear him do a performance number. I wish Parleen hadn't sung Ramta Jogi during paino. Else Ramta Jogi would have suited him like crazy.. also I wouldnt mind hearing him croon an old R D Burman song
- Parleen, maybe to break away frm the choclate boy image, sing songs like Judaa Hoke Bhi
For the gals:
- Puja, I like her voice. though its got a nasal twang in it, its not irritating like Richa's, its more pleasant and very controlled. When she sang Ek Pyaar Ka Nagma hain and Sajna Aa bhi ja, the control was clear. I wish she will go for a performance number instead now or even Lata's songs like Ek Radha Ek Meera to showcase her classical prowress
- Richa at this point should play her strength, which is clearly purely classical songs. She should sing stuff like Bol Re Papi Hara, Hum ko Mann Ki shakti dena songs just because they are her strength.
-Deepali, there are 2 songs I want her to sing, one is Hamesh tumko Chaaha from Devdas and the other is the one from Raincoat, Shuba Mudgal song, Piya Tora Kaisa Abhimaan, slowww song but its very hard because Shuba Mudgal gives some very interesting sounds.
- Charu, if she wants to go on strenghts, keep singing the way she is and she will be fine. If she goes for versatality then song from Pakeezah, Inhi Logon Ne, which is classical and fast
- Ankita, def. more classical songs to showcase her versatality
- Smita, same songs as Deepali, also will add Richa Sharma's Dooriyaan and maybe Kavita Krishnamurthy's song from Khamoshi, Aaj Main Upar.
- Jolly, I dunno wat to say !
