I was surprised to learn that not many comments were made on Abhaas’s final performance. Is it because my video had lot of elimination discussion before Abhaas sang the song? I am trimming the video and uploading his performance ‘Naina Thag Lenge’ again. Check it below.

I felt that it was an outstanding performance. I will admit, I had heard this song on and off earlier but after Abhaas’s performance, it’s on my iPod and I listen to it at least couple of times a day. The song portrays pain and Abhaas’s rendition brought tears to my eyes. In comments, I have been hearing that few folks wants to bring Abhaas/Toshi/Irfan to New York Tour, if that happens, count me in. I am going to put this song in ‘Best Of’ category. Anyone has any doubts?

BTW, I found another video where Raja Hasan (of SaReGaMaPa fame) sang the same song. I don’t know why everyone is ga-ga over this guy. Yes, I accept that he has fantastic voice but in my humble opinion, his singing ability are really not par up to other singers. [Don't trust me? Check out Gazal special episode of SRGMP where Poonam, Amanat and Aneek excelled and it was crystal clear where Raja stands compare to these singers.] Check out his rendition of ‘Naina Thag Lenge’. Not up to the mark.

And yes, I was surprised to learn that ‘Naina Thag Lenge’ was originally sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. I think Rahat brought an amazing variation in voice for this song, 3 cheers to him.

If you read my previous post, I said Irfan’s ‘Tadap Tadap’ was one of the best performance of the day. The reason is that Toshi’s rendition of Main Jahan Rahoon was the best of the night, in my humble opinion. I think he outdid himself in this performance. I don’t know why he has now resorted to playing the emotional card [he spoke about his ill 'bua'] but full marks from my side.

Surprise Guests sing Mann Kyon Behka

And we have some two young girls on stage and they sing ‘Mann Kyon Behka’. Wow, what an outstanding performance! Looks like VoI is going to follow SRGMP footsteps and announce another series on Amul Star Childish Voice Of India. Just kidding.

Seriously, can’t they make the current participants sing these kind of songs instead of the useless songs they are singing these days? I can bet that TRP will go in stratosphere if you have right song selection, especially now that SRGMP is over and no other music reality shows are running.

And yes, I am going to include this in ‘Best Of VoI’ category if you don’t mind. :)

Final performance of the day was by Abhilasha and she sang ‘Rani Beti Raaj Karegi’. I thought she was amazing! 10 out of 10 from me.
