Toshi sings Teri Deewani, the performance which made me launch the site.

Date: August 21, 2007  Category: 11th Aug, Best Of, Toshi

I am a lazy guy. I have ten thousand ideas floating in my head at any given time. The problem is, I don’t get my butt off the chair and work on them.

One of my idea was to launch a better fan site for Star Voice Of India. Since last 3 weeks I was playing with the idea but when I saw the ‘Teri Deewani’ performance by Toshi, I was soooooo moved that I decided that I will launch the site. And here it is. :)

I think Toshi was absolutely outstanding in his rendition of ‘Teri Deewani’. I would kind of agree with Jagjit Singh that he sang it better than the original. Actually, it will be unfair to say that he sang it better than original. The original song by Kailash Kher has something which Toshi can never copy i.e. Kailash Kher’s soulful voice. Though I can say for sure that I like both versions of the song; one sung by Kailash and the one sung by Toshi. So without much ado, here comes Toshi with the song ‘Teri Deewani’.

For comparison, here’s the original version.

Enjoy. J.

    What can i say .. Today as soon as I came back from the office i got to know that Toshi is out of the contest.. I m SHOCKED.. He i such a brilliant singer… God knows what Indian viewers are upto..

    I m so cheesed off with the entire episode that i have dicided not to watch VOI anymore.. If singers like Toshi are not given the due respect and credit for the talent they carry , then i don’t think that such shows should be aired in the first place..

    The Producer of the show should not just be bothered about hos pocket which is being filled by the SMS bucks but should also consider that the people who are actually contributing to the TRP of the show are being benefited in rela sense..and not just on sympathised with..

    I really hope someone who can actually make a difference in Toshi’s life reads this and do something because this guy really deserves better than what he is getting in Life…

    I was SHOCKED, to say the least, when I saw the results today. It was heartbreaking. It always has been, but before I used to say, in all fairness, that this is the way the show is supposed to be. The lesser talented, or lets put it more fair, the weaker talented stars make way for the more talented ones. That was not the case today. Toshi has always had a brilliant performance since his audition; he sings from his heart and soul, and his singing is fused with earth and the elements of nature; it is that natural. I was totally shocked and aghast; never have I seen before a more wrongful case of judgement. It is totally not fair. Even the audience displayed their shock through tears and stupified expresions.
    I was pleased with all of the judges, gajji ji, and everyone there supporting him, including his brother.

  4. Maha on August 31st, 2007 4:36 pm

    One more thing… I truly hope Toshi gets what he deserves in real. It really was heartbreaking to see him go, partly because we saw his reaction, and partly because our hearts were set on his soulful true hearted singing. Its just not done. I hope Abhijeet da and everyone realise his true potential and keep the promises they made to him.
    All the best for your future Toshi, your fans will support you whatever happens.

  7. shad on September 4th, 2007 5:54 am

  8. Maha on September 7th, 2007 9:39 am

    I loved how he sang it in higher notes, rather than lower ones in the original. Its this small bit of originality, coupled with his voice and a different pace that makes the song sound original ratehr than the exact same thing. Brilliantly done by Toshi.

  9. Ajit on September 7th, 2007 2:48 pm

    I m also a very big fan of Voice of India, I liked Toshi very much among all the contestents. I also read in blog a guy or gal, don’t exactly know, but his comments was that
    “”"”Why do they call these expert singers in results episode and not in the episode where contestant’s performance counts? I think these expert singers can offer critical and neutral opinion about the performance, which could probably help the janta decide whom to vote for.”"”"
    I don’t liked this comment at all coz just tell me one thing when we watch VOI enjoy it, emotionally attach with it, can’t we guess or judge who is right one among all. Do we really need others comments to judge some one, can’t we find out ourselves. As last week all knows about Toshi. Out of 10/9 people agree with me he was best. So plz while voting don’t think contestents are from where, c only wat they sing`

  10. IsHa on September 8th, 2007 12:22 am

    What Has been done to bring Toshi BacK?… NOTHING!!! People took time out to protest against the elimination in form of demonstrations nd sending emails. What did it materialise in???
    NOTHING! seems to have fallen in deaf ears. How about the judges they said that they were gonna try their best to bring Toshi back so WHAT HAVE THEY DONE???? Seems its a whole lot f BULL CRAP!! There was a certain degree of assurance amongst peoples minds that the outcome of all protests would be very positive! What a DISGRACE to VOI’s team as they can’t keep their words. Utterly dissapointing but No comparison to the commedable efforts put in by INDIAN IDOLS TEAM TO GET THEIR STAR BACK THROUGH THE WILD CARD CATEGEORY

  11. Maha on September 8th, 2007 2:52 pm

    Alka ji today said something about voting for the three eliminated singers; the one getiing the most votes could be brought back.
    Make that person with the most votes Toshi, people!!!!!
    *I have no idea how to vote for him at the moment; anyone who does, confirmedly, please do tell.

  24. cool-diva on November 1st, 2007 10:28 pm

    How shocking—Not again!!!. It seems that there had been some interference and manipulation with the voting system.
    We were trying to send votes for Toshi while the lines were still open and we just couldn’t succeed.It’s a shame that he has to leave BUT the others in the show are NO way near him.As many had said and also Abhijeet , the SVOI is not the right platform for him, however God is great that he has had so much exposure to the world and his talents that it won’t go in vain.People will always appreciate his talents and will support him .I was reading that he would be releasing his new album soon.So good luck and best wishes to him .It will sell like wild fire.
    Our prayers are with Toshi and God bless him.
    For me,now I’d rather see Ishmeet titled as the VOI.Good luck to him as well.

  25. M. Khurram on November 2nd, 2007 1:04 am

    It Dosn’t matter he votted out, i hope that he will get lot of work and we will listen him after this show. if some body have contact of any other info regarding Toshi kindly forward me, i will give him an album contract here in PAKISTAN. contact me on my email address

  26. paaaraaas on November 2nd, 2007 3:05 pm

    EAST OR WEST HERSHIT IS BEST. YES NO DOUBT TOSHI IS GOOD BUT HERSHIT IS JUSSSSSSSSSSST OUTSTANDING

  27. Kim on November 2nd, 2007 8:37 pm

    It was very shocking that Indian people had votted out Toshi the same people who had given him the highest votes for last two weeks. He got highest vote last time and he got the least highest this time. I think there is something going wrong. Why people are saving ishmeet so much eventhough he sings only romantic songs all the time while Toshi was choosing the different kinds of songs which are very diifcult to sing. I bet Ishmeet can not sing those kind of songs.

  28. nadi on November 3rd, 2007 8:49 am

    just want to say onething, that this was very sure that TOSHI wil be eliminated,but onething else is 4sure too that TOSHI wil be the only one who wil do best in his career,rather then ishmeet,harshit and abhas,keep up the good work TOSHI,good people r with u always

  29. rehan shah on November 4th, 2007 12:53 pm

  30. y akhtar on November 4th, 2007 7:59 pm

    Hi Toshi
    I ma writing these few lines from Newzealand,I am a huge fan of u, You are agreat singer ,May Allah bless you, mark my word oneday you will be a BIG star of music Industry, keeo it up and don’t loose your faith in your abilities.

  31. Esther on November 7th, 2007 4:24 pm

    Again the same story. This time it is toshi what the heck is happening. I am sure they are playing with the votes, and i am very sure that it is not the people’s fault, it is the organizers, this is just a game they play for TRP and of course money, so cheap and lowly to play with talent. I read the comments that explained the difference in the original and toshi’s song it wsa simply great. Wonder what is happenign to VOI, cut the crap guys (organiser & Judges) I’m sure if it was A.R. Rahman in the show, he would just taken Toshi like a priced possesion. What a song and what a way to sing. Looks like India needs no good singers or are the singers themselves worried about their run in the younger generation race. Please whatever is the organizers idea, stop playing with people that too youngsters.

    Toshi, you still have a bright future, true and hard work will definitely pay off. If a person like the guest can say “you sang better than the original” those were golden words, keep them as your trophy. God bless U.

  32. ashok on November 13th, 2007 2:01 am

    after toshi is out, watching VOI is not so interesting, hope he get alot of offer to do playback singing,lot of best wishes from all singaporean

  34. Des on November 27th, 2007 10:08 pm

    Well well! Toshi was a VOI winner for me the moment he sang “Teri deewani”. He brought tears into my eyes when he rendered this song. Sorry to say mere bharat ki janta andhi aur behari hai jo na sun sakti hai na dekh sakti hai. Kicked out such a talented singer. God bless him and wish him good luck.
