Abhilasha sings Suraj Hua Madhyam
After that wonderful performance by Harshit, it was Abhilasha from Prithvi team with the song ‘Suraj Hua Madhyam’ from K3G. She got the best comment from Sonu Nigam. He said “You are one of the most brilliant singers I have heard.” That’s

Harshit sings Chori Chori
Harshit was next with superb rendition of the song ‘Chori Chori’ from the movie ‘Lucky’. Wow, what a performance! Somehow I had not heard this song before and I just fell in love with the song! The orchestra gave a wonderful support with ‘Tha Tha Thakin’! I downloaded the original song after I listened to Harshit’s performance. Sonu said that the song sounds romantic but it is a very difficult song. He felt that Harshit should get tons of votes for this fantastic performance. I agree. 
Harshit then said that he is a very big fan of Sonu Nigam and “Agar Sonu Nigam use apne ghar mein nokar rakh le to ek kone mein pada rahunga aur dekhun ga ke Sonu Nigam riyaz kaise karte hai. Aap mere liye bhagwan hai.” Sonu said that “Aap ne mujhe aisi izzat bakshi hai jiske mein layak nahin hoon, par iske liye mein aapko vaada karta hoon ke hum ek bar khana saath mein khayenge”!

Prantik sings Ye Dil
After Arshpreet, it was Prantik with the song ‘Ye Dil’ from ‘Pardes’. Now I am no expert in Music, but I thought he was way off from the way original song was sung. I did not like it much especially the way he said ‘Ye Dil‘. May be it is because I have heard original song so many times that even the smallest difference is very noticeable to my ears. Well, decide for yourself. And yeah, Sonu did like his performance.

Arshpreet sings Tauba Tauba
After Ishmit, Arshpreet came on the stage to sing “Tauba Tauba” from the movie “Kaal”. Somehow, her performance didn’t click with me. I don’t think she captured the energy of the song. Well, Sonu thought the opposite. He said that Arshpreet has one of the most beautiful and unique voice he has heard. Great compliment.
Here’s the original for you to compare:

Ishmit sings Deewana
After Mirande, Prithvi team called Ishmit and he decided to sing Deewana! When the song started, I was really not sure if he will be able to do justice to the song. But boy, he proved me wrong and sang it really well. I really liked it. Sonu said that he found preparation tad bit lacking, but his voice is so ‘reshami’ and powerful that it covers the lack of preparation. “Agar aap apni gayaki mein aur dhyan de to humare paas bahot jaldi ek sardar pop star aane vala hai”, Sonu added.
