One of the few programs I look forward to watching on TV is talent search Saregama. Over the years it has morphed from Sonu Nigam's hosting ( nothing has come close to it till now: not Udit Narayan, not Abhaas Joshi and definitely not Shaan ). The heart of the matter is talent and it is amazing how year after year, this amazing country of ours throws up such a rich repertoire.
We at home do not particularly care for Bishak Jyoti's tapori antics till he suddenly zapped us with his ghazal last week. Khurram's khafi was another discovery. It is indeed sad that he got eliminated within a week of his stellar performance. I sincerely hope Khurram and Ali Sher are not victims of parochialism. A couple of seasons back, Amanat Ali deserved more to win than the ultimate winner ( Oink something ), but that is the way the cookie crumbles.
The other day I chanced to listen to Mukesh's sajanwaa bairee ho gaye hamaar. These are lyrics meant to be sung by a female. For want of a soulful female voice, mebbe Mukesh was made to sing this song. I am looking forward to hear this in Sniti Mishra's voice. We hope this pint sized wonder really goes places!
Abhilaasha has already arrived. She should now move up from VOI/Zee Marathi/Zee Saregama before she picks up the realty show ''aunty" tag. Sugandhaa has done very well to be taken seriously as a singer and scrubbed away her comedienne persona. But one wishes she does not overdo the gareeb gai bit on stage.
Kamaal Khan is studio material and should give Sukhwinder ( shrillness personified ) a real run for his money. Ranjit Rajwaada should let be by the judges. As much as you cannot expect Mehdi saab to sing rap, this guy should not get ragged under the guise of versatility. Ditto with Sniti. We love her for what she is, and the way she is. Too much of mentoring, and we run the risk of another genreless Sunidhi Chavan.
