It would not matter if they were huge hits.
They don't seem to have been.
And I know I will be beaten up here, but Lag Ja Gale is not her song.

She should sing other songs just to test the audience. Otherwise we may end up with her singing these 4 in Canada as well!

The fault is not hers, the show has a young curator. He decides who sings what. He also wants to sing himself!

@bold 2 - you mean, she will have no say in picking her songs?

@bold 1 - Exactly - that's what I also meant to say- she should sing songs - which were huge hits - and they will automatically be loved by people .

She can argue, I am sure. Others would. Sayli would certainly say some choice Marathi words 😃
But she may be on one of her tubelight phases where she does what she is told. I think when too many new things happen around her she goes into these phases. Then brother or mummy or others close to her call her and tell her what she should do. I am hoping those calls came through. (pure speculation, this part)

But they are not rehearsing new songs (at least not shown) and the band is new. So chances are that she will sing the same quartet.

Last night (couldn't sleep after Diwali celebrations🙂) I was again listening to some Aru performances on Sony liv- and those three songs she sang with Sayli in Kumar Sanu/ Anuradha Paudwal episode were really good. So, she sounds good not only with PD but also with Sayli. But I don't think we will ever get to hear kind of duets - they sang before turn of the new century.

In duets with Sayli I always felt she overshadowed Sayli. But then my bias was also at play...

Also as you said the curator (a guy) also wants to sing - so shouldn't his competitors be the 2 guys there and so he should give better songs to the girls at least.

While on the point of band, I feel that VJ Bhola is so kanjush that he forces new singers to use some Brit band who are not really equipped to support unrehearsed songs. So no requests can ever be met and the singers have a fixed song list.
The same show when in other places uses band from India. Even Africa affords them.

So, it is the cheapo stunt that Rock On Music pulls which is ultimately a handicap to variety in the show.

And those 2 AR Rehman songs - I might be in minority - but don't like his music one bit - though Aru sang them well in Idol ........................ - but poo girl, this is her first outing as an adult singer - and so the inexperience plus being controlled by Sony. Otherwise best thing always is ask the audience, what they want to hear.

Also as you said the curator (a guy) also wants to - so shouldn't his competitors be the 2 guys there and so he should give better songs to the girls at least.

The boys are experienced and ultra capable stage singers. Plus they will brow beat him and Chokolate is there for them. He can't compete with them - and that is not his intention I think. But he is pre-occupied. Young man with a big job with experienced people breathing down his neck. He is incapable of fixing the cracks. Plus I sense there is tension in the organizing team.

Things will sort out when they are in Canada which only has Choklate as curator. he is experienced. Expect changes. He had posted a story on this trip which basically said - his time will come. That was out of frustration.

I liked all aru performance on idol but if I have to pick my two least favorite of her performance in idol. It would be kehna hi kya and Tu hi re.

Why they gave her this two songs to sing in concert is so weird

I might disagree with you and MS here. Not only do I absolutely love ARR's music, I also felt Arunita did a stellar job.
