You'll hear Anu Malik often say that II is about singers who've never sung before. Which would explain the poor quality of singers. <BR/><BR/>But then people who sing playback or have been training for years show up and are accommodated as well. In which case abysmally shaky surs is no excuse.<BR/><BR/>Its got to be one or the other, IMO.Aspihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08060207061740733110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365538972650430145.post-86349935875775169542008-09-30T10:09:26.311-05:002008-09-30T10:09:26.311-05:00Nepali Head, agree with you on Naina.

But like you preferred Lakhwinder to Ali Abbas, I preferred Ali Abbas.<BR/><BR/>And Ali Abbas didn't make it either obviously. Though it kind of sucked for him the way it was set up. He was the 2nd highest vote getter but didn't make it to the top three. <BR/><BR/>A shame.Linnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365538972650430145.post-45347917174567816832008-09-29T18:08:10.364-05:002008-09-29T18:08:10.364-05:00Asma's Hindi isn't even that bad. She's faking the whole gender mix up. It doesn't sound natural.

So I just watch Singing clips.<BR/><BR/>So Aspi, your posts on the SRGMP drama are greatly appreciated by me.<BR/><BR/>Is Asma still on the show?<BR/><BR/>I saw a clip of her singing Mehboob Mere and the judges praising her. I was like WTF? Barbie from Lil Champs sang it way better, and she was like 11 or something.<BR/><BR/>P.S. The whole Sara Raza thing was just a big ploy for ratings. Why would she just announce up there, "I am going to quit, rather than just going to the PTB."<BR/><BR/>SRGMP totally set that one up. Though I do believe that she probably does have a hard time because she is a female contestant from Pakistan, and she wasn't lying.<BR/><BR/>Also again. Did they just really want the viewership in the Gulf? Wouldn't the gulf desis watch it anyway? Why not get a better singer from the Gulf. Why freaking Asma?Linnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365538972650430145.post-43669266807101940592008-09-29T15:27:17.441-05:002008-09-29T15:27:17.441-05:00dockhaul - shanker aint a wanker.. don't be mean to the dude, he's okay..not like the other 3 monkeys on the judging panel..<BR/><BR/>Imran was sooo NOT hot on the show.

Kind of how Poonam Dhillon looked in Noorie or Preity looked in Dil Se. A fresh face who can also some what act. The movie was quite decent. <BR/><BR/>Maybe it was the hairstyle but I just was'nt feeling it.<BR/><BR/>On the singers - I am loving Pratibha, the girl from Reva. <BR/><BR/>For the ones who missed out on Head's reference to white tigers, Reva was one of the very few wild life sanctuaries that had white tigers until the 90s. They were moved to Nandan Kanan in the last ten years. Reva is also very close to Khajurao but I am sure head did'nt want to make that reference :)<BR/><BR/>I also like Kaushik. The guy is quite solid. Sorry to see Mitika go, I think she was a decent singer but could'nt sell herself. Shame, she had the complete package, just could'nt take advantage. <BR/><BR/>btw, the girl Naina Saxena also auditioned for Indian Idol and has been selected for the "coming to Bombay round". Would be interesting to see what happens to her in II4.jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365538972650430145.post-67727584889979308822008-09-29T13:58:12.718-05:002008-09-29T13:58:12.718-05:00girlie girl, when are you gone to India?

Nice write-up. I missed the show (trying to enjoy last of the summer days in Chicago!) but i can't believe Hottie-Pottatie Imraan was on it! I'm going to have to catch it some other way now. <BR/><BR/>I do however love the jhagda on this show. AND i cannot believe Himesh was waving that middle finger around. I did catch that part of youtube. What a total a$$!
