Indian Idol 3 - Top 12 Perform in Final Piano Round

Deepa

2007-06-08 21:25:14

After YET ANOTHER heartbreaking elimination, where Bhavin Dhanak, Amit Paul, and Rehaan Khan were sent home, Indian Idol 3 kicked off its final piano round. The 12 remaining contestants performed and tomorrow, two will be sent home. The Top 10 will then continue to the gala rounds. And the show started with the One-Man Masti ki Paathshaala himself!

Emon Chatterjee – Bijuria

This guy always manages to bring a smile to my face. He sang beautifully, and he had just the perfect little facial expressions and hand movements. I guess you have to watch it to know what I’m talking about! As I mentioned during his last performance, he adds his own subtle touch to the songs and it works so well! Mini came on and called him Sonuji. Mini made him sing it again and do a cute little dance step from the original song. And yay for Mini for doing that! I loved it!

Javed Akhtar: It’s hard to sing such a high energy song but make sure to focus on the clarity of your words.
Alisha Chinai: Brilliant as usual but I want to see the first Emon, not a second Sonu Nigam in your singing.
Udit Narayan: Well sung!

Okay, after the judges gave their opinion, I got so wrapped up in what happened next that I forgot to keep typing! So I’m going back and writing it again. Anu Malik reacted to Emon’s imitation of him yesterday and he loved it! He playfully told Emon that he was going to cut him in half when he gets back. Emon, sharp as a tack, said, “If you cut me in half, there will be nothing left!” Poor, short Emon! :)

Then Mini asked the judges to give a one-word answer whether Emon would make it to the Top 5. Uditji said yes. Alisha said yes. Javedsaab said that there were so many good singers so it is hard to say. Mini replied that Javedsaab is not happy with Emon because of the imitation he did of Javedsaab yesterday. Javedsaab responded, “What can I do, this new generation is like that.” By this point, Emon looked petrified! He apologized. And then silence for a few seconds. Finally Javedsaab said, “Emon, you’re not the only one who likes to joke with people!” Hugh sigh of relief from Emon and as the audience cracked up! The expression of relief on his mom’s face was priceless. LOL.

Deepa’s rating: 8/10

Charu Semwal – Ruk Jaana Raat

This was a smart song choice because Charu usually performs fast numbers. Through this she had the chance to show that she could sing all types of songs. However, in my opinion, this performance was not up to the mark as her other ones because she seemed a little more mechanical. The judges thought differently.

Javedsaab: You have expressed the right mood of this song, which very few people do.
Uditji: You have sung with so much love but you slipped from sur slightly in the middle. However, this is such a difficult song that the little things can be overlooked.
Alisha: You sang this song beautifully and soulfully. This year, the boys’ performances are so brilliant that the girls have to buck up. I promised that this year, the Indian Idol will be a girl and you have to show them!

Deepa’s rating: 7/10

Smita Adhikari – It’s the Time to Disco

What a song choice! I actually think that Smita is finding her musical identity. Both times she performed peppy numbers, her performances stood out whereas when she performed slow numbers, she ended up in the bottom four.

Uditji: You set the stage on fire!
Alisha: You’re without a doubt a good singer. You have to work a little on your presence and confidence. Uditji interjected and told Smita that she should never think that she doesn’t have the right personality or the confidence. She should remove all negative thoughts from her head.
Javedsaab: (He agreed with me!) He said that your forte is slow, romantic numbers, but today, you have shown what kind of range you can have. You have proven that even if you sing out of your range, you can do it competently.

Mini then asked Smita about her father and Smita said that he couldn’t come because of his health but she wished that he could be there. Then of course, Mini brought both of her parents on the stage! Smita’s reaction was so genuine. The way she hugged Mini was so sweet.

Mini asked Smita’s dad how he felt about Smita performing. He said it felt wonderful and had Indian Idol not existed, his daughter would not have gotten the chance she is getting now. Mini requested that he and Smita sing a couple of lines together. They sang her father’s own composition. What a heartwarming moment!

Deepa’s rating: 7.5/10

Parleen Gill – Lamha Lamha

Okay, aside from his audition, this was without a doubt Parleen’s best performance. It’s such a soothing song, and he sang it well.

Javedsaab: (This is the second time he’s agreed with me!) Well done! The way you were when we first saw you is the way you now are again.
Alisha: It’s important in this competition that you perform well every time and you do that. Congratulations.
Uditji: Stood up and greeted him! When you sing, I keep looking at you. What a lovely personality. But you have to keep this up!

Deepa’s rating: 8/10

Deepali – Dheeme Dheeme Gaaon

I haven’t heard this song in a long time so to hear Deepali sing it was refreshing! She sang it beautifully, as expected. She reminds me a lot of Meenal Jain from the last season, and Meenal was my favorite contestant! She’s such a straight shooter with no added drama.

Alisha: she has a sweet voice but she could try and spice it up a bit.
Uditji: Don’t take the competition easy. Pay close attention to your singing.
Javedsaab: Today’s professional singers sing one line at a time in the recording studio. In this song, it is difficult to find places to take a breath. So to control your breath and sing with the right volume is commendable. The few places that you made mistakes are easily overlooked, especially because you picked a song that not many people pick these days.

Mini asked Deepali whether it was true that she wanted to become an RJ. Deepali said it was and Mini put her to the test. She pretended to be an RJ and interviewed Mini. Well, Deepali’s right about one thing. She would make a good RJ!

Deepa’s rating: 8/10

Suhit Gosain – Sayonee

This song suits Suhit well, but he was off tempo and out of tune in a lot of places! Maybe it’s because he had to sing it faster than normal, but still, it was not good at all. Yep. Our future Indian Idol.

Javedsaab: Better than yesterday but you went off-key in the middle.
Alisha: Thank God you’re safe but you need to work very hard, you know that. You’re an electrifying performer
Uditji: I enjoyed your performance today.

Deepa’s rating: 4/10

Abhishek Kumar – Ab Mujhe Raat Din

What a welcome change after Suhit! Abhishek was almost flawless. I even put on my headphones and listened to it closely. And it was so different from the upbeat song he did yesterday! Well done, Abhishek.

Alisha: You sang with a lot of feeling.
Javedsaab: Welcome to the gala!

Uditji first asked Abhishek whether he sang in on the same scale as the original, or a different scale. Abhishek said it’s a half note lower than the original. Uditji took issue with this, saying that Abhishek could have easily done the original scale. Abhishek said he was scared to do it because he might not have been able to. Alisha appreciated that he sang in the lower scale because it made is voice husky. Uditji asked Abhishek to sing it on the higher scale, which he did. Javedsaab, and I, thought that the higher scale was better. Uditji was spot on with his evaluation.

Mini said that Abhishek is quite a good dancer and asked Uditji to sing a few lines so he could dance. Uditji picked the worst possible song for Abhishek to dance to but the audience got the point. This guy can shake a leg if the music is right! I hope he survives long enough to show us this.

Deepa’s rating: 9/10

Prashant Tamang – Kehna Hai

Ab to yeh banda tike rahega. He’s so versatile and sings each song so effortlessly. He did this one well too but it was missing the energy that he had in past performances.

Javedsaab: Well done. You sang the song really well on the whole.
Alisha: This is definitely a better performance. It was good, but I still think that you go out of tune at times.
Uditji: You were good yesterday, and you were good today. I want to see something else from you.

Mini asked the judges why they don’t have the same enthusiasm for Prashant that we as the audience do. That’s a great question to ask. They didn’t really give an answer to it but said some stuff that didn’t mean a thing.

The other big news: Prashant gave his first live interview yesterday! Good for you buddy! ☺

Deepa’s rating: 7.5/10

Puja Chatterjee – Sajna Aa Bhi Jaa

Puja was also flawless! She picked a fitting song, and I love how this girl gets out there and channels all her energy on the notes that are coming out of her mouth. She is so focused on her singing that sometimes she forgets to perform! But no matter, she’s really good.

Alisha: What a powerhouse of talent. She did more than justice to it.
Uditji: I have always liked Puja and I think that she will fulfill my dreams for her. I will pray for Puja because she sings well and has what it takes to be Indian Idol.
Javedsaab: I think that her performance today was the weakest of all of them. It was missing the flow from one note to another, which is usually there.

Deepa’s rating: 9/10

Meiyang Chang – Dil Keh Raha Hai

The original song is a little softer than how Chang sang it. His interpretation was good, but I wish I didn’t have the original in my head to keep comparing it to. Regardless, I’m a fan of this guy, and if I were in India, he’d get a barrage of votes from me.

Alisha: You sang it with the right mood and well done!
Javedsaab: I prefer slower songs on you but you sang this one quite competently.
Uditji: You sang it well and from the heart.

Mini asked Chang to sing something in Chinese and he said that he only knows one line. He said it, and it translates into “I don’t know Chinese!” LOL. This guy really is 100% Made in India!

Deepa’s rating: 8.5/10

Richa Aneja – Piya Tohse Naina Laage Re

This song reminds me of Monali Thakur from Indian Idol 2, who sang it during the gala. Somehow, I wasn’t that impressed with this performance of Richa. She still sounds too raw and has to give her voice the chance to mature before she sings it. She was technically on point, but a different song choice would have been better.

Javedsaab: (Third time during this show that he and I had the same opinion!) It’s so difficult to say anything. Her voice has not matured enough to sing this song.
Alisha: I think that she still has the immaturity and rawness in her voice and she is not being serious (wrong Alisha, she is being serious)
Uditji: Don’t cry and get upset. In the upcoming years, you are going to succeed. You have the right voice and feel, but you are just young.

Deepa’s rating: 7.5/10

Ankita Mishra – Aisa Jadoo

The perfect way to end this round. She went off sur in one obvious place and clearly has trouble hitting the low notes, but we all know that she is a performer. It’s kind of like Panna Gill last year, who always had a creative performance even if his singing wasn’t perfect.

Alisha: Her performance is always mind-blowing, but her pitch is always going flat. She must choose another style.
Javedsaab: I liked her singing and performance. I have no complaints. She might have been flat but it was nothing that can’t be controlled
Uditji: He said the same thing I did, that she fell short on the low notes.

Mini asked her what she thinks the problem is. Ankita said she is trying. Mini responded a person can only try when they know what the problem is. So Ankita said that she goes out of sur. Uditji chimed in and said the problem is that she is getting too nervous about the results.

Deepa’s rating: 7.5/10

So overall, it was a pretty decent piano round but definitely not the best.

My top choices:
Emon
Abhishek
Meiyang
Puja

My middle of the pack:
Deepali
Parleen
Prashant
Smita
Charu

My bottom choices:
Suhit
Ankita
Richa

Let’s see what happens tomorrow. I’m pretty sure that the people I put at the bottom won’t be 100% correct, but I hope tomorrow’s result at least makes sense. But with the current track record, who know?! And plus, I’m pinning my hopes on Suhit winning, remember?

	I just don't get what you are seeing in Puja. If you're just listening, you can definitely tell that it's a voice of a young teenager (althought not as bad as Richa). I just don't know where all these heaps of praises are coming from! My picks: Emon (our next Indian idol if junta has any sense left) Abhishek Deepali Prashant (he's simply amazing for someone who's not traied) Chang Charu

Don't mind me, I'm just a guest.

	Seriously Bhavin voted out is a big mistake that the Indians have to pay later! Bhavin and Suhit, where's earth and where's sky! I have been following Indian Idol and seriously as I am not an Indian citizen although I am an Indian, I would seriously suggest that people please vote for the voice first and then the rest! Karunya over Sandeep and I haven't heard Sandeep since then, while Karunya is rocking especially in Lage Raho Munnabhai! So please dont repeat the mistakes for the third time! My top 5: Deepali, Emon, Meiyang, Charu, Parleen ( this is based on consistency) Bottom 2: Suhit, Ankita (Richa can sing, just that her voice isn't matured yet!) And I am very sure someone is going to get their heart broken today night! My saalam to Indians!

Don't mind me, I'm just a guest.

	Prashanth seemed disappointed today guess because he was in bottom 4. I just wish him luck for stepping into the galas. Keeping my fingers crossed for him and abhishek. Although I am a huge diehard fan of Suhit and totally agree with his tremendous amount of hardwork and electrifying performance, I feel like its time for REAL talent now and not just based on looks and thoughts. I want to see Suhit in some lucknowi suit as in like weddings. Tusse rock karoge! Tere aadaoon pe mein ware ware... In girls, I wish someone could show Richa the door. Hopefully she packed her bags. She should know how she sang in this round as she feels she, herself is her own competitor. Girl you should GO!

	There are 10 people in this competition who absolutely belong to the Top 10, 1 who may in a coupla years, and 1 who should never even come close to singing. Period. Richa and Suhit leaving tonight is a nobrainer for me, though I do think Suhit, who by entering the genre might even cause the lead singers of Kamelot, Opeth, Porcupine Tree etc commit suicide, will survive at the expense of Prashant. My top 3 were Parleen, Chang and Ankita. Here's how I would grade 'em: Emon - B (Emon really needs to knock it outta the park the next time. Needs to raise the bar a little) Charu - C+ (Nice Control. But Charu is consistently in the bottom half for me) Smita - B+ (Great performance by Smita, I hope she makes it through. Somebody needs to inform her that the first 2 Indian idols weren't exactly conventionally good-looking but the right grooming can lap the difference between night and day) Parleen - A (Flawless. Though his performances are a bit one-dimensional) Deepali - B+ (Not great compared to her last performance but still pretty darn impressive. She's the one to beat among the girls) Suhit - F (Dreadful, Vomit Inducing. The fact that Alisha is fawning over this idiot makes me want to reenact the first torture scene from Hostel 2 on her.Bhavan was not only a better singer (1 million x Suhit) but also better looking, and should have been Top 5 at least). Abhishek - A- (Excellent. He's probably the closest to actually being a great playback singer) Prashant - C (The lack of personality in this performance really got to me. While he has a great voice, he just doesn't seem comfortable being infront of the camera. I see playback career for him, but don't seem him transcending into the Indian pop scene). Puja - B (I thought Puja displayed tremendous control, and sang really well. I still think she 'd be better equipped to win this competition if she allows her voice to mature out of its current nasal quality). Chang - A (Outstanding yet again. Overall, my favorite guy in the competition) Richa - C- (Far from what Alisha said, I think Richa worked really hard and took up quite a huge challenge, but then again her lack of maturity is definitely gonna hurt even if she progresses. I feel that she and Shifa can come back in a coupla years and really do well here but not right now) ANkita - A (The thing with Ankita is that you either love what she does or don't, there's no middle ground as such. I think she's the best female in this competition. Even if she's not the best singer, I think she's probably more aware of where she wants to be, she is someone for whom singing is more than just sur and taal, in fact, she is really an artist, and I wouldn't be surprised if she's a good songwriter 'cos while she might not be trained, and technically sound, she breathes music and her passion is obvious in everyone of her performances. Music is a medium of expression for her more than anyother contestant in this competition.) Anyway, rooting for Chang and Ankita to do really well. Btw, is there any chance we might have a Wildcard round or something and see Bhavan and Harshida come back. I am seeing Indian Idol for the first time so don't really know how this whole process works out. Will we continue having performances every night of the week or it gonna come down to biweekly shows?

Don't mind me, I'm just a guest.

	Deeps I agree with your ranking but - but but but I would put Deepali a little higher. She is the dark horse. . . . . Suhit needs to move on - we all know he will survive. Richa - I almost wish she had joined the competition a few years later to allow her voice to mature just a little. The calibre this year is very high and if the following 4 are knocked out I will be gutted : Emon Meiyang Deepali Puja Sorry this is rushed - I'm off to see George Michael !!!!! Love and kisses and Uttam please a few words darling

	Pooja and Parleen are very overrated! Emon, Abhishek, and Deepali (last night was her first not so great performance but still very good) are my favs to win Chang, Prashant, Ankita are decent The less said the better for the rest

	Guest said: Finally justice has been done. Suhit voted out! The other one was Ankita Well, not only was he voted out, he went out like a sore loser! He did not even respect Alisha's wish that he should leave with a sing-out! On the other hand, Ankita rocked! She was brilliant and she went out with great style! Oh but don't get too happy, he might get back in game thanks to the wildcard entry! Annu and Alisha are bonkers about Suhit for all wrong reasons and they will fight to get him back in the game!

	The Indian audience seems to have evovled from last time. Thanks to me and all the people who didn't vote for Suhit. We have saved ourselves from the ignominy of having another Anuj aka Mr. Tom Cruise himself (so not my words...so not my words) Hooting for Puja and Parleen!! Chang is my second choice.

Don't mind me, I'm just a guest.

	I think Jolly Das sang poorly, to be frank! Among the judges, I respect Javedji's opinion the most, and his face was all crinkled and for the right reasons, she would have been eliminated had it not been for her reserved seating..hehehe, only possible in India!

Don't mind me, I'm just a guest.

2007-06-09 21:33:00


	I think jolly sang very weell and apart from deepali there isn't any other good girl singer so i think if you compare jolly to richa then she is much better. Anywayz judges haven't selected great singers so i think judges opionion matter verry little apart from anu malik who knows more as he has been judging this competition for longer then other judges.

Don't mind me, I'm just a guest.

	I am mad, angry and feel very frustrated. why you know? it is Alisha who is driving me crazy. She is either ignorant of good singing talent or she is too biased. I cannot take her any more. Can we start a campaingn to replace her with Sprout or Deepa. Does any one agree with me? Please speak up.

GUEST ( Guest )

2007-06-10 00:40:14


	I am sorry I feel Jolly went off key in several places. She is okay, but not as good as Puja, Deepali or Smita. I hope she is voted out soon, and what is this whole reserved seating deal anyway! I think it was unfair to allow her to run right from the galas especially when all these contestants had to go through this much. Any case, I don't think she is that good.

Don't mind me, I'm just a guest.

2007-06-10 01:55:29


	so this wildcard round is apparently six singers of which two will join the 11 finalists. Of the eliminated, I'd pick Bhavin, Amit, Shifa, Harshida, Shantanu and Aisha to come back. Although, judging from Annu and Alisha's reactions, Suhit might just about make it back. That will be the downfall of II3

Either way, love having you in... Anuj aka. Mr. Cruise?

LOL, forgot about that one, if I'm correct Mini Mathur (her evil genius) brought that one in the world and here it evolved in something that still makes me laugh everytime I see a couch!

You know when I saw this guy for the first time, I knew you were going to hate him and to be honest he makes it very very very easy. I keep having Fame-X flasbacks when I see him.

LOL! Well, if they do get rid of a woman judge, they’d replace her with another woman! So I guess Deepa would be an ideal choice as I would make a very ugly woman!

On other hand, I get to sit with Javed Saab and Udit! Hmm… Tempting! But not happening! Love to dissect the contestants here rather than there! The gig is yours Deepa! LOL!

But seriously, I do agree that Alisha is a bit biased and her soft spot for Suhit is not unknown! I had heard Annu say that he loved Suhit, because he had painted black nails! I hardly think that is a criteria to select anyone, but there you have it! I bet my life that Annu and Alisha would bring Suhit back as a wild-card contestant and his stupid fans would go in an overdrive to save him!

By the by, Deepa, you missed a major point – Suhit’s good critique was akin to Simon saying “Incredible” to Sanjaya! Only problem was people knew that Simon was being sarcastic! Of all the songs Suhit has performed, Sayonee was worst according to me, because it was rushed, off key, off range, off pitch and off tempo! And yet he got a positive critique, making him real vulnerable! This goes to prove that his fan-base isn’t all that mature about music!

Suhit Nandini said:

Well, well, well, are you back? Please say yes, please say yes! To be frank, I did not have any opinion about him, when I first saw him. I thought he was a wannabe, but that did not disturb me. What did disturb me though was the fact that his fans started pouncing on me and you know how much I love that! Then he called Charu all those names, now after seeing and knowing Charu, I am really glad that I didn’t know her so well then, because I would have destroyed Suhit with me words! Now, I hate everything about him, he is a new money spoilt brat, who needs to grow up! Fame-X flashback? Elaborate!

Lil' Ms. Hot Body said:
Oeh I agree... ehmm do you think Sprout clevage would be just as distracting as Alisha's?

So let me get this straight, you think of me with man-boobies? Well ok, I am not going to defend my cleavage! Also, I am not going to wear a white wedding dress, as I am anything but virginal! Oh and honey, everything about me as a woman would be distracting and not in a good way!

Please, please say you are home! We’ve missed you so!

I hardly think that is a criteria to select anyone, but there you have it! It is not only with Suhit, Alisha seems to have developed dislike for smitha. I think Smitha's voice though didn't lived up to expectations was much better than Richa yet Alisha says she is the one who has to quit before Richa. This time, girls are weak (may be raw is the right word instead of weak) in talent compared to the boys. I miss Meenal from last year. I hate to bring up this again but I miss Karunya and Amey too but I am expecting Abhishek and Parleen to perform better in gala rounds if they are allowed by the public to stay longer. But I know for sure all my predictions are sure to go wrong Also, Amit should haved stayed longer.

	Personally I think the judges havent selected the contestants properly...richa shudnt have made it in the top 28..she definately has talent but her voice just hasnt matured..same with shifa... its completely contradictory when the judges said to richa that her voice hadnt matured when they selected her in the first place! like other versions of pop idol its probably more appropriate to have like an age limit of 18...that said half the girls wouldnt have made it onto the final 14 and who is jolly? how random...this is the first series of indian idol that ive watched and only because my mate harshida was on it...
