Videos of 27th October have been uploaded.
All videos of 27th October have been uploaded. Once again, excuse me as videos are not uploaded on time, I have a real struggle to spend time between
1. to catch my favorite show,
2. update my site for wonderful readers like you
3. process and upload the videos and
4. write commentary about the performances.
Today, number 3 task took a long time and there is no time for my commentary. Anyway, do visit the site and check out the comments section, there are some very passionate folks (A big shout out to Zaki, Rossi, AS, Anand, Shastri and many more..) who are discussing all the performances. To give you an example, check out AS’ comment about Toshi’s learnability [If you have worked with Infosys before, the word will sound familiar. ;)] .
Hi J,
I think its been a established fact now that Toshi has been outstanding in the show. But what is not talked about is that he is a good learner too..in life! This is what I mean by this:
He never seemed to have believed in ‘emotional card’ earlier. But when he realised that it works, to the extent that it gives you that slight but a much required push, it was already quite late…He was eleminated!!!
And he saw not only his other peers playing this card repeatedly, but also the judges…So he tried that once during the wild card round!
The VOI judges (except Abhijit… Congrats Abhijit… I think you are the only one and a true neutral judge of the show), more than Harshit are trying hard to strike the emotional chords among the audience by regularly referencing his dadi. Somehow I thing these judges sounded very phony when Inrfan’s elimination was announced and Harshit was saved! We are all sitting very far from the reality…Who know what happens behind the scenes. But Toshi has seen all this at a much closer distance! Hint…hint!
What I mean to say it that, he might have realized that being an accomplished singer is not good enough (unfortunately)…giving excellent performances may also not be suffice. Who knows there could be some tempering in the public votes! If these judges are so partial to Harshit and Abhas in front of the whole world, you can imagine how they would be behaving offline!)
Also, these judges (except Abhijit) don’t really support Toshi…but they pretend to be doing so becoz of
A. his excellent performances
B. Huge public support.In the light of all these facts, if Toshi gives a reference of his ailing bua, I think it is *required* to combat similar references by other contestants. Its being pragmatic. And he does not overplay emotional card. After all, everything is fair in love and war!
So why don’t you head over to the comments section?
Enjoy and yes do keep visiting!
Your Host - J.

hi ,j yes u r right u saw in every episode lalit and aadesh even jatin in yesterday said harshid dadi i mean what is this yaar so cheap vote not for his singing capacity vote for his dadi every episode i think they have desided already harshid will be voice of india here,s is only contestant woh desevered voice of india title is toshi abbhas and ishmeet also good but they can,t reach toshi emotion romance qawali rocks stage performer i mean he is the complete man woh desevered it toshi is the name of music music is the name of toshi our all blessing for u plz vote for toshi
HI, ITS VERY SAD DAT V HAV LOST OUR VOICE.I MEAN 2 SAY IRFAN.HE WAS A VRY TALENTD GUY.V WANT HM BACK IN DA SHOW.DATS IT
hello j i also agree with u all harshid emotion drama his dadi but very sad juges are with him if u note harshid voice soo soo similier kumarsanu and that is noted by abhijeet if u remember before bemisal 12 a other one contestant voice like kumarsanu and he sung jiye to jiye kese that time lalit and aadesh said we want nutral voice not similier voice we have kumarsanu already we have sonunigam already we want fresh and new voice so what happen now with lalit and aadesh why they supporting so much harshid why they don,t say we want nutral voice and u sung like a kumarsanu u saw in yesterday episode they said oo its great he sung like a kumarsanu o common juges before few weeks u said other statemant now u said other statemant plz chose nutral voice woh can sing all type of song i think its toshi woh can sing romantic song emotion song qawali, rocks,sufi song ang offcourse he has strong classical back groung and he is the best stage performer also so i think toshi is the best choice for this title
Very well written comments by AS,zaki and AJ in the previous video. analytical judgement by three of you is excellent. i agree with AS , this week it will be judges favourite vs public favourite. As usual,the judges are showing open partiality to harshit and again it was a recap of his dadi. Saturday episode was very interesting when abhijit said , that abhas, toshi and ishmeet sing in their original voice but harshit copies kumar sanu to which lalit said ,so what ? its a good thing. Anyway,we are not foolish like them and all of us know who is a good singer? Past episodes ishmeet has shown improvement but still has a long way to go.
I think all of us are matured enough to judge who among the four deserves to be in the final 3? i have been watching this show from day 1 and among the boys , irfan , toshi and abhas were and are excellent. Destiny and luck also play an important part.
I totaly agree with AJs analysis.
Hey!
First of all, thumbs up for making and updating this site. I know it’s time-consuming work but trust me, your readers appreciate it!
Right now on to the ranting.
I am PISSED OFF with how partial some of the judges are. They are wayy too dramatic and I think they can really sway judgments of easily influenced viewers- which, I assume, there are a lot of in India (WHOLE other story!).
Secondly, I don’t know how relevant this is but I want to discuss this issue anyway…
Does anyone else think shows like VOI put way too much emphasis on which state the contestants are from and NORTH and SOUTH and things like that? Why are they creating so many barriers?!? It angers me because in a competition like this, things like these (i.e. which state a contestant is from) shouldn’t matter at all. Were not competing against countries here… its VOICE OF INDIA. I know I sound like SRK (Shah Rukh Khan) from Chak De but I really believe that the emphasis on States creates unnecessary, unwanted conflict.
It blew my mind when they had to compare votes by removing the votes from that persons state. HAS IT COME THIS FAR? There are many problems associated with this method of “comparing votes”. THe problem of unity is only one of them; Some states are larger/more modernised then others. What they’re doing is really unfair.
I wonder what they would do if I were participating in VOI because I really don’t know which “state” I’d come under. Damn they’d have some problems!
It saddens me a little.
Can we have a little bit of unity please?
Sorry about the long post!
A CALL TO ALL THOSE WHO LOVE IRFAN
**********************************
I have created a site for him.
http://voiceofheavens.blogspot.com
Please visit it and leave your comments. I am advertsing on Google.com and it will be good way - our own gesture - to advertise our Irfan.
I will be spending a good deal of money, so guys please shower your love in words for Irfan by leaving comments there..
shan u rite TOSHI U GREAT ALLAH BLESE U OUR PRAYS R ALWAYS WID U.ALL D BSET TC…U ROCK U R MY VOI.!
A FEW FACTS ABOUT IRFAN
- He used to work in Wipro, Hyderabad and was doing very well for himmself.
- He has been learning music in a traditional school for many years now. His guru is a natitonal award winner.
- He has been looking for an appropriate platform in music for the last three years - Sa Re Ga Ma Pa and then VOI (*With its unfair judges who speak about all aspects but music*)
- His heart of Gold: He has performed without creating any fuss in many of the local schools singing amidst the students.
- His parents have given two years time, if he does not attain a tangible success in this time he will have to return to the software field.
THE DIFFERENCE:
Irfan never spoke of all this to gain sympathy votes, he could have easily talked about his sick relatives, the other personal problems he faces (which I know cause I am part of the Hyderabad IT Industry and have networked to find out).
But he firmly believes that he should be voted only for his talent.
INDIA’s DECISION:
In the neutral zone he got the highest votes.
FOR SOME STATISTICS:
ONLY 24% of Andhra watches/understands Hindi. And only a percentage of them have cable and vote. So ALKA YAGNIK, instead of making derisive comments try and support the guy who respects you so much, and hello, you are his mentor, remember? At least don’t look SO happy when he is eliminated. Lost all my respect for you woman, you are cheap. Sorry. But that is the truth.
YES SHASTRI U RITE N DO U KNOW WAT IS D MEANING OF VOI?IT MEAN POLITICS I LIKE TOSHI BUT AGAR HARSHIT AUR IRFAN MAI SY CHUNAY TO OFCOURSE IRFAN IS BAST IRFAN KI NATURAL AWAZ HY NO PROB allah DEKH RAHA HY!MY BEST WISHES 4 ALL PARTICEPANT ESPECIALLY toshi GOD BLESS U DEAR.
I think AJ’s comment is H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!!!! If Harshit does or anyone else does it..its “Emotional Card” but when Toshi does it..its his *Learnability!*
You people are sooooooo UNFAIR!
Toshi is a good singer and his talent brought him back in the show..he doesnt need to be so dramatic now! That makes people lose my respect!……….lol..”Learnability!!!”
well J,SWETA, AJ
I think Toshi mentioned his BUA wasnt either Emotional card or learnability…to my opinion it was a reality…inspite of being unprepared he sang so well…ispite of his family being in trouble he sang well…its not sympathy…it was his reality at that point of time…its within the context…not out of context like bringing Harshit’s dadi on stage,in clips, or Jotin jee saying dt he should stay becoz he has a blind dadi(lol).
To me Toshi’s saying that was not for sympathy…why would he need that?…he sang well…ppl r with him…it was his true feeling at that point which he expressed…he told that to show his satisfaction.
TAKE CARE
toshi u great..
Another thing, may be at that day TOSHI sang the sad song so well with a strong feeling becoz of sadness he had in him…sadness comes from his BUA’s incidence…it can be a reason…thats why he admitted it…come on what ever it is, but it wasnt a DRAMA…it was real..it wasnt about creating a sad atmosphere…it was his true feeling…and he has the right to say it.
again, if the VOI team is against TOSHI then why should they capture such a dialouge??
TAKE CARE
Shweta,
If we say that Toshi is “learning” it’s not at all wrong. Toshi never asked for sympathy for Votes before he was eliminated. It was only Harshit who bought his DADI on stage for Votes.
Now Toshi has learned that in this world we need to be tricky sometimes where people play politics openly and judges except Abhijit supporting Harshit just because his DADI’s wish should come true..what Nonsense…sounds very stupid…These judges instead of judging contestants based on their talent are supporting their favourite contestants based on regional and other reasons. This is what meant by UNFAIR.
———————————————–
JUDGES ARE UNFAIR EXCEPT ABHIJIT. Hat’s off to you Abhijit…
——————————————
Again it was UNFAIR for such an excellent singer IRFAN (who is far better than Harshit, Abhaas)getting eliminated because of cheap tricks and politics by judges like Aadesh and
Hats of Shastri) IRFAN was a true professional who never asked for sympathy. He also has his own personal problems and also left his job to participate in VOI and become a singer. He also has his parents, relatives having lots of expectations. He also has his DADI, NANI everyone but never asked for sympathy..
——————————
UNFAIR TO ABHILASHA AND IRFAN - No wild card entry chance for them now.
——————————-
It is also UNFAIR that ABHILASHA and IRFAN do not have any chance now to come back but all contestants who were eliminated got a chance through WILD CARD entry to come back.If there is anything like WILD CARD entry, then it should have been conducted before the finals of VOI so that all contestants who are eliminated before finals will get a final chance to come back.
What about IRFAN, ABHILASHA and the other contestant who will get eliminated in the next week. who will give them another chance. This is what UNFAIR means…
Hat’s off to you IRFAN and Hat’s off to true people like Shastri. I wish i could do something for IRFAN. Thanks Shashtri for creating a site for IRFAN.
Thanks,
Siraz.
I hate to see the publicity of Harshit’s DADI. From Judged and in their adverisements. Looks like they have already decided who will become Star Voice of India.
For me IRFAN, AABHAAS and TOSHI are star voice of India. Already IRFAN is out. Lets see what they will do with others.
Shastri,
Please get in touch with me. I am also from Hyderabad and work in Wipro. Please mail me at sirazahmed4u@gmail.com or siraz.ahmed@wipro.com.
My contact number is 9885568049. Please let me know your contact details. I am also a great fan of IRFAN like you are.
Regards,
Siraz Ahmed.
A good episode after a long long time, the overall quality of singing was a notch higher than the last few weeks.
Divya in white was so angelic and looked a million bucks.
Harshit was awesome in both the songs and his voice quality is ideal for play back singing (but watching him singing is always a nightmare, he just doesnt show any expressions for the mood of the song)
It was disgusting to see the clip were all the judges burst into laughter when Irfan was eliminated (winning and loosing is part of the game but the way Irfan and Sumitra were treated by most of the judges right thru the contest is lot to be desired)
I am feeling very much sad for Irfan. My wonder is Toshi and Ishmeet .. All sardar’s are voting in mass to make their guy winner . And toshi- I know this guy is incapable fellow for play back singing . He sings every song as Qawalli .This idiot has brought back unecessary. He should be ashamed of telling his financial conditions always before India. They are many people who are dying without food. Are you worse than Them you sufi Rouge? Answer this. You are truly a Qawalli Biassed and you are a good singer at dead ritual songs.
lishen you all gays whrn you will have feeling about music..if you say you don;t like ishmeet then it means you don;t know what is muisc …and no feeling about..music..so then please don;t say any thing about ishmeet ..because you know very well he sang very good but only the thing he is sikh so thats the reason you don;t like ishmeet..i will say same on you all of them same on your Relgion ..your relgion teach you about this….then you all gays should change your self and your relgion….once again same on you alll…because you gays only think about relgion ….and ISHMEET IS THE BEST,,,,,,,THERE FANS NEVER TALK ABOUT THR RELGION..PLEASE KEEP VOTING FOR ISHMEET……………..
Seems everyone is worried about Harshit and his dadi. Whats wrong with that. If he was dumb and useless then we could say he is using his dadi to get votes but come on hes got the voice, even Dia Mirza and Manoj Bajpai and every other guests have all commented on his voice quality. Yes now we have reached a place where it is state votes. Ishmeet had low votes from neutral places but was safe cos of Punjab votes. Why can’t we leave emotions aside and vote on talents. This wildcard entry was wrong. Why didn’t all Toshi’s fans vote for him before and when he got eliminated then it all Toshi. And yes he is begging for votes as well uses his Bua, his parents Haj trip. Manoj Bajpais comments to Toshi was right, never bad mouth the palce you come from which he did on the day he got eliminated.Ishmeet will be VOI ONLY ON PUNJAB VOTES and NOT ON VOICE QUALITY & TALENT
Toshi is a good singer friends . but itna bhi nahi kay he deserve VOI .. it seems ur TASTE OF MUSIC Is really bad .. sorry to say .. but its true . Ya its happens when you like someone or love someone only you want him or her to be on top . but Right person should deserve .. So HARSHIT OR ABHAAS .. one of them SHOULD BE .. but here in next 2 episod u will see who is OUT …
i have given you some clu in past comments .. so it will be like that its already decided
Too bad Toshi is out
EveryOne respect his elder as everyone watching on TV. Toshi has also dream that he will bring his parents for HAJJ so thats a superb and greatest Dream in the WORLD .. for him and for EVERY muslim .. Allah bless him ..
No doubt Toshi - Harshit - Ishmit and ABhaas are awesom .. yah IRFAN was also .. but we cant help out except giving comments LoLzzz
see in next 2 episode c ya bye
Jezi
I agree with you. Toshi is good but not that good to be the VOI. Actually I think some deserving VOI’s are already eliminated, so now we need to make the right choice.
Niku
You are so true about respect for elders. In today’s world and new generation there is hardly any respect for elders and my hats off for Harshit to give so much of love to his dadi. Nowadays people can’t respect their parents leave aside grandparents.
Harshit you will go along way and Iam sure you will be singing for most of the music directors.
Who do you think will be eliminated this week? Will there be only 2 people in Charakvaat
Anu,
This week one in Toshi and Ishmeet will be eliminated.
Anu, right on … Toshi is good but not that great to be VOI. He is good in the sufi/folk genre (but after watching Mussarat’s sufi renditions on Saregamapa, Toshi pale’s in comparision by a long way)
Same with Ahbaas … he is good but after seeing Aneek’s performances … Ahbaas has a long way to go !
Hey i am Gora I play music and i sing but at the same time I love indian tunes and songs, too much to learn. Being a Gora The versatile in the voice is Ishmeet my first choice and second Harshit. I am not muslim, hindu, sikh, christin or any other. We are all human beings, just love what you believe.God will help you.For Ifran, Toshi and Abbas hell of singers. Belive me they will do excellent with their own magic voice like Gulam Ali Khan and some others.Some how their voices are not suiting as a play back singers. Singers make more money and get famous because of their own voice. Top 4 means that you already have achived your Goal. Their are over 3 billions peoples watching you guys my friends.
I think either Harshit or Abhaas we b voted out this week! I hate the voting system!
Shweta, Toshi will be out so not to worry. Toshi is one hell of a singer. You will see him playing like all pakistani and hindustanis sufi’s songs and I love it. It is for sure he do not have the voice of play back singer. If you believe him the best he will be tere like Nusrat Fathey Ali Khan. I like your feelings
Dear J,
Wanted to give you a BIG THANK YOU for all the videos. The quality is very good, especially of Irfan’s Tadap Tadap. Only sweet memories are left now of our wonderfully sweet and immensely talented Irfan, and you have done a great job capturing them for us like this on video. I smile sadly as I write this, but I am very grateful to you.
Thanks,
Shastri
Hi Guys

Rovino

Hey Rovino,
Sorry mate forgot you are an Ishmeet fan…
dont worry mate.. it is either Harshit or Abhas this week… I wud put my money on Harshit being out this week…
Cheers
I totaly agree with Anu and Niki. there is no question that these singers like Toshi, Abhas,Ismeet , Irfan are/were the greatest contestants in this show, however , if you pay attention to the first episodes and comments from the judges and I qoute ” you are a good singer , there is not doudt , but this is not the voice we are looking for”. So among of all of these great contestants , I think Harshit has the strongest and perfect voice quality. Now he might not be necassarly ones favourite singer, it does not mean that he is at this level because of his dadi ma or whatever else we might think, No, absoutly false believe. if he loves his grandma this much ,and mentions her name periodicaly, this prooves his great personality,that no matter what he can be/become ,even a top singer, still he loves and respects his grandma. hats off to you Harshit. Please people we should admire these singers such as Toshi, Harshit that they want to become a star and make their parent’s, grand parent’s dream come true. Please support these singers,as I have always indicated , at this stage all 4 of these singers are winners. But as we all agree only one can be SVOI, and I strongly believe that , if it is based on voice quality, it would be Harshit, no doudt. God bless you all.
are you guys serious that Toshi is out??? I can’t believe this……….
A THREE CHEERS FOR SHASTRI
Friends,
We may not agree on the SVOI, but I think there would be absolutely no debate about the STAR FAN OF INDIA…
the AWARD goes to SHASTRI!
my 100 vots to Shastri, now please donot mind this ,since I am coming from totaly different backround, is this a female name or male name. just curious…….. at least there is one thing every I hope agrees….lol.
Masoud Safi, Things changed over night. The message I got from good soures.
Toshi has a great voice but I really get annoyed when his fans start getting insecure or worked up whenever somebody comments the other way. His voice is his greatest advocate! And creating ‘war’ on other contestants’ fans wont help him rather will create resentment.
Anyway, my personal favourite is Harshit. I dont recall he ever mentioned his dadi since the episode when all contestants brought there parents on stage. He has a great voice, I wish him all the best!
Sara,
With due respect to your views… Harshit does not need to mention his Dadi becoz the judges do it for him regularly - including the so-called neutral judge.
In fact even the producer of the show Gajendra Singh got her on stage!
Abhas’ parents and brother get regular coverage on the show as they are in the audience.
Even though I am no Ishmeet fan, I think in the emotion/sympathy stakes Ishmeet and Toshi are the ones left fending for themselves..
Cheers
ok. Thanks Rovino.
Dear Zaki, One quick question, Why in the heck we are more consernd about some ones dadai ma, grand pa , in a voice talent hunt show , then the actual voice quality of the contestant ? I mean , I 100% agree with Sara , He has never mentioned his dadima’s name to get votes, this is us that are more concern about it. Please do not get me worng here but , lets start shifting our focus on some thing else , which is the voice quality of these singers. and get on more analysis of the performances as there is only few episodes left in the show.
God bless
I hope…abhaas/toshi stays til the end.. wished irfan was also there.. but now ill fate deceived him.. God bless all contestants.. and lets wait & watch wat happens this week….
Dear Masoud,
Fully agreed!
But would someone let the SVOI judges know please?
As far as analysing voice quality and performance goes here is my take on the remaining contestants:
1: Harshit- Strong voice and pukka sur. Zero originality and zero feel. That is just my opinion.Limited range as a singer. Good at the typical Kishore Kumar, Kumar Sanu songs. Do we want another one? Can he do an “Allah ke Bande”? No way?
2: Abhas- Considering his age, he is a very good singer. But needs to develop depth and maturity which will come with age. I think his lack of maturity was exposed in the “laga chunri mein daagh” duet with Irfan. Not ready just yet.
3: Ishmeet: Whilst I dont think he is a good singer, amongst the current lot he has the best voice quality. However, he has miles to go as a singer.
4: Toshi: Has an original voice and is an accompished singer. I admit he does not have the best voice quality .. but he is the best singer. He can possibly and “passably” and sometimes even more than that sing the songs that Ishmeet, Abhas and Harshit sing, there is no way in the world they can sing what Toshi sings.
Many times people confuse good voice with good singing. Let alone me.. even SVOI does not know what it wants: just the best voice/best singer/playback singer/live singer?
I would like to think it is a combination of the above. In which case the only real winner could have been Irfan.
Lekin Toshi mein jo “extra-ordinary” baat hai woh kisi mein nahi hai!
Cheers
Zaki
gol maal hai bhai sub gol maal hai …
Sub Jugdes aur public har shit singer ko bachaye gey to har shit singer VOI banay ga …
ZAKI: Thank you so much, for calling me the STAR fan of Irfan. You made my day, and I am most proud of the title
Personally, I think, Irfan has amazing versatility to sing songs of such variety, and he will make a brilliant playback singer. No offense meant to anyone, as music is a very personal experience, and each ones view should be respected.
MY TAROT PREDICTION FOR IRFAN
*****************************
Within the next five years, he will be a playback singer of GREAT repute. With at least one FILMFARE award, and a couple of international shows: one in UAE area and the other in Canada/US.
*****************************
Thanks all, and special thanks again to Zaki.
PS: Masoud, I’m a guy, and incidentally, Shastri means knowledgeable.
An idea! Why dont Gajji make each singer sing a completely new song/composition made by the judges? Would be fun to watch! Can be the decisive factor.
Sorry but not composed by these judges please!
ZAKI: Thank you so much, for calling me the STAR fan of Irfan. You made my day, and I am most proud of the title

Amen. Touchwood.
Ask them to sing a song they have composed themselves….
we will then know who the real gem is!
***MY TAROT PREDICTION FOR IRFAN***
Within the next five years, he will be a playback singer of GREAT repute. With at least one FILMFARE award, and a couple of international shows: one in UAE area and the other in Canada/US.
Shastri Mate,
I watch SVOI without fail and only record the performances of Irfan and Toshi.
Yaar it would have been a fantastic final between Irfan and Toshi.. they would have brought out the best in each other.
Which is ur favourite Irfan performance?
I fully understand how u feel, but music is not about winning and losing.. Irfan has given some brilliant performances and let us cherish them and hope he makes it big…
Do continue watching SVOI and if you find Toshi’s performances good please vote for him.
Cheers
Zaki
Zaki,
The saddest part of this show is that it is *only* aimed at earning money. I don’t think organizers care a damn about whether they get best live or playback singer/best voice quality etc. The fate of most of the winners of such shows has a very prototype tack i.e. getting lost in oblivion!
I feel, if VOI had really been concerned about music, the prize for the winner should have been a sponsorship for few years to learn music from one of the maestros of the field, who are not accessible for common people otherwise.
What I liked about TADAP TADAP by IRFAN.
1. It contained the soul of the song: pain and anguish.
2. The notes were spelled with the precision and the glissando were GORGEOUS.
3. He added his own inflictions to the song in 4 different places. This is the improvisation that differentiates a good singer from a good imitator.
4. His facial expressions showed complete involvement.
5. The throw of the voice was very restrained despite the high pitch. This very, very difficult guys, believe me.
6. His reverberations did not falter even once.
7. Each word was articulated with clarity.
8. The ‘Teri Mohabbat Mein’ was in perfect synch with the percussion.
9. The slide from high to low pitch ‘Ajab hain ishq’ to ‘pal do pal’ did not effect his pitch.
10. The resonance was so in keeping with the pace. This is difficult for song with high emotional notes, because when you sing song deep emotion, and therfore emotion, you tend to increase peace, as you are carried away with the emotions.
NET NET: A perfect, and even better than perfect performance.
Dear AS,
I agree with most of what you say except one…
Toshi will certainly not get lost into oblivion.
His talent is quite extra-ordinary and his ‘junoon’ and self confidence will take him far.
And let us admit it.. SVOI has given him a huge platform to launch his career.
It is now up to each of the contestants to make their name.
Yes this idea of tying up the winner with a Maestro is brilliant!
If I ever start a Taletn Hunt Show (not a reality show) I would take you on board as an advisor!
Cheers
Zaki
Dear Zaki, I am shouting my total agreement with all of your comments about this show. I think even VOI does not know whether , as zaki said, looking for play back singer, good voice quaity,best live performance ability or some one that has the combination of all three.
SARA, you are right , why not VOI don’t give each of on these contestant a new fresh , composed songs, to see what their voice quality is and how is their ability to pull it off?
tell me if I am wrong Zaki, my alnaysis is :
1. Harshit: excellent voice quality, very strong , confidence, but I agree with you , should pay attention to emotions of the songs too,but it can be learned and imporved, as long as voice quality supports it. right
2. Toshi: He sings all types of songs, seems like has and excellent ability to sing anytype of song perfectly, but , unfortunatly, does not have the voice quality as Harshit or Ishmeet.
3. Abhaas: considering his age and life experience, he is a good singer, and have a long way to go still, there is no question he has a very bright future ahead of him, his voice quality is great and can sing any type of songs with variety of notes, but for the time being, he is not the voice we are looking for ,is he?
4. Ishmeet: great voice, he shows some potential, he has improved by each episodes,but again , as you said, he is still lacks versitality.
I wish Irfan and Arshpreet was still in the show, it would have been an excellent finale with Irfan, Harshit, Arshpreet.
best wishes to you Zaki, Sara and Rovino, have a great week and lets see what happens in the next episode ( since the show has become very political and unpredictalble lately)
kafi logo ny kaha k wo irfan k nikal janay k bad wo kisi aur ko vote nahi dayngy but it`s wrong mana ap logo ko irfan pasand hy jb wo nikal gaya to jo bachay hy un mai jo ap logo ko acha lagta hy us ko vote do kya pata ap k chand vote`s us ko voi bana dy nd ofcurse toshi is great so plz plz vote 4 toshi plz thanks
ALLAH BLESS U TOSHI !
Zaki,
You are right, Irfan gave some memorable performance. My favorite Irfan performance has to be ‘Alvida’ or ‘Laga Chunri Mein Daag.’ But again ‘Tera Jado Chal gaya’ and ‘Rind Posh Maal’ were also so good, just like ‘Lukka Chuppi’ and ‘Piya Haji Ali.’ But I think I will settle for either ‘Dil Chahta hai’ or ‘Tadap Tadap’ actually, cause it was his ‘farewell’ performance.
Thanks Zaki, That would be an honor!
I can’t foretell the future but I sincerely wish, VOI or not VOI, Toshi should not get lost in oblivion!
These days you have a flood of such so-called talent hunt, nay reality, nay whatever-you-call-it shows on almost all the channels. Beyond such shows, it has to be individual caliber and unflinching passion to reach the top, that can keep them alive in people’s memory!
Zaki, Zaki, do take me on board too as your advisor for technical analysis!
ZAKI, Can I be the person who chooses the judges and makes sure the judges, unlike VOI, behave apporperiatly whether it is toward a contestant or any other judge, Please…….
Guys,
I am no expert, nor am I starting any talent hunt show!
I am just an average fan (not even a great fan like Shastri!) who loves music and has learnt a little bit of music from my Mum. My mum is a trained Dhrupad singer - she lived with her ustad for 14 years from her childhood following the great Hindustani tradition.
I have the utmost respect for artistes who are professionals and yet dont compromise on their art!
Cheers
Zaki
The inside word is (has been since VOI approached her) that Lataji will only come to the finals if Toshi is one of the contestants..
Dont know how far this is true..
Could be just a rumor..
ap logo k pas koi news hy k ab kon niklay ga?
Shastri,
I have to admit, I am struggling to find a “bad” Irfan performance!
All his performances have been very very good and some have been outstanding…
My favourires have been.. in no particular order…
1: In dino dil mera (his first performance).
2: Lukka Chhuppi
3: Roo ba roo (Rang De Basanti)
4: Alvida (just an incredible live performance with scale changes1)
5: Ke Sara Sara (with Arshpreet)
6: Piya Haji Ali
7: Laga Chunri mein daagh (in my opinion Abhas spoilt the song- sorry.. but this shud have been an Irfan solo)
8: Tere Bina Besuwadi (Guru)
9: Tadap Tadap ke is dilse..
My all time favs have to be Lukka Chhuppi and Tadap Tadap.
They were both WOW performances.
I have watched Tadap Tadap recording atleast twenty times since the weekend!
toshi is great!
100% agree with that if Harshit does or anyone else does it..its “Emotional Card” but when Toshi does it..its his *Learnability!*
Toshi is manipulative and thats all that has kept him going in VOI. Still Remember when he was eleiminated he said “mein yeh platform chor kar wapis mein uss gand mein nahi jana chahta” so the point is wht was he hinting towards he shud b ashamed of himself that instead of being proud of his background he is calling it “gand”
His voice SuX and So does his stage presence
This is a message to all VOI fans ! PLEASE IF IN FUTURE YOU WANT A GOOD VOICE OF INDIA COMING OUT OF THIS PRESENT SHOW. PLease vote for any of the contestants except ismmet. i HIS SERIOUSLEY A BUGGER. eVERYONE WANTS HIM OUT. Please ishmeet we dont want your straight simple songs!!!!
( SORRY FOR ALL THE PEOLE WHO LIKE ISHMEET).
HI J,
Like some people have said on this site and dont take it as an offence towards you - seriously this site is becoming dull. As well as the good comments you write we need things like polls.
SOME QUESTIONS YOU COULD GIVE AS POLLS
Do you think ismeet will become the VOI?
Is harshits performance going down like the
episodes?
Who do you think should stay till top 2?
Which reality should do you think at the momment is the best?
Allot of people have encouraged you to do something different than usual and people have mentioned like me about this topic as well.So it would be humble of you to make some poll questions as such that are given above!
Hope you read my comment and soon react on it.
THANKS!!!!
Wow Zaki! Your mother has been practicing Dhrupad! It is the MOST difficult and the Purest form of music form whatever little study I have done of it. That is why there are very few people taking it up now-a-days. The alaap itself lasts for 30 minutes and needs to be an accurate exposition of the Raga.
Shastri,
It is quite an experience sitting in front of an accomplished performer and listening to them live!
I have been lucky enough to have been doing it since as long as I can remember… my Mum’s riyaz used to be a daily “performance” for me!
I am firm believer that a singer cannot be made. We are born with an inherent gift for it. Riyaz and sadhna can only make us better. But if we do not have the inherent gift from God .. no amount of training can help.
However, we all can become better listeners and I believe to enjoy any kind of music, some training in music is essential. It helps us understand what the singer/musician is attempting to do and this way we can appreciate music more.
Cheers
I completely agree with you, Zaki. The study of music I have done over the last four years, through live concerts and through attending studio recordings, from listening to classical singers expound on the Ragas, to treating my ears to the music of the people from the hills, has helped me improve my understanding of music phenomenally. Perhaps I would not have appreciated the depth and grace of Irfan’s renderings if not for these years of study (which I had done essentially for the novel I am writing, and that has given me infinite wealth in return).
hey guys luk just c d amount of knowledge toshi has of sur, sargam etc etc. ppl talkin bout voice clarity let me tel u sum ppl with not that much of so called clarity in voice but still r d best nusrat fateh ali khan, kailash kher,ghulam ali khan they r d best better than the so called copy cats
Shastri,
Good luck with your novel my friend!
Cheers
Zaki
ISHMEET WILL BE THE WINNER….ISHMEET YOUR VOICE IS GREAT……

http://www.orkut.com/CommMsgs.aspx?cmm=5766085&tid=2563266701758323154&start=1
Hope not mate!
good news for irfan
I AM SURE THAT IT’S RUMER
it is totally bakwas i think abhi to show ki recording bhi nahi hui hogi
abhi abhi irfan ki news sun kar khusi hui hai plz aise rumor mat bataye
Congrats to Irfan.
Instead of giving away the bikes repeatedly to one person, why did the organizers not give one to each of the runners up at the final? This would have rewarded all of these hard working finalists in a fair manner.
Man, good talent will be hurt by a lousy organization and lousy judges and a lousy voting system.
I hope it is not true that Lata will only come to the show if Toshi is on. That will spoil her credibility as a neutral person. We need neutral people for the rest of this show.
listen people recording is going on…HArshit got the bike this week…Abhas and Toshi is in bottom 2…results yet to be declared.
ALSO A RUMER
but there r informations with the rumer.
what do u think?…ZAKI im so worried man.
Rossi,
“Allah Ke Bande Hans De
Jo Bhi Ho kal phir ayega”
Let us hope for the best….
dua hai ke toshi out naa ho aameen
this is almost confirmed that TOSHI is out…bt plz wait till the last moment…not 100% confirmed
dont say this rossi plz
Its difficult to believe Harshit got the max votes of all the people…Sounds very very fishy!
Hope Toshi will stay in the show.
yes as i pray that u r right
Indeed Fatima jee
uss shama ko koi kya bujhaye jise roshan khuda kare.
This is how I will CELEBRATE Irfan’s success:
Will go and offer service at an old age home, and pray that all that grace and blessing goes to further Irfan Bhais success.
What say all?
Shastri,
Mate ur not just the SFOI, but Star Fan of the World!
I am sure the good wishes of fans like you played a big part in Irfan’s success.
It is nice to know that we will continue to hear Irfan on a stage bigger than SVOI!
Cheers
rossi plz give confirmed news
I have a feeling that Aabhas is safe and thank God Almighty for that. He is the real talent. His performance in Jaane Jaan last week bettered the original (trust me I am very thrifty with making such statements and was upset when Jagjit Singh said that Toshi sand better than Kailsh Kher). But listen to the original track from Saawariya and you will know yourself.
From reading other blogs it appears that Daadi ka Pota is getting the bike this week and the Sufi singer is going out.
kya ye sahi he toshi is voted out plz confirm yaar verna voice of india ko aag lago do ga agar toshi bahar hova to
Rohan - the news is not confirmed. It really is just based on the rumour mill working over time. I guess we are all praying for our favourite singer to prevail. Let us see what happens.
plz plz yarr my b.p is going down some body give me good news
Someone in the other blogs has confirmed what I had said above. But again, what I said was based on reading these other blogs. I would not trust anything till we get a more reliable confirmation. I am praying that the wonder kid prevails and people appreciate his talent by putting all other biases aside.
Rossi, why have u gone quite? Do you have any confirmed news?
Iam very happy Irfan is coming, congratulation IRFAN, we all love you.
Hate the show VOI (show of stupids)now.
TOSHI IS OUT
HE is out 100% sure…plz dont post n e sad comment i request…be happy..he is out of the show but not out of the world.
AND I QUIT
TAKE GOOD CARE ALL MY FRNDS
source: IRFAN
What is going on ? Irfan was so good he is out Toshi is so good and he is getting eliminated wow something is going on. Somebody did say this is a rigged show cause they want HARSHIT to win.
Oh well SVOI IS BORING WAY BORING THAN SGRMP.
WE HAD EXCITMENT ON SGRMP WHEN THEY WERE AT FINAL 4 BUT HERE ITS A GRIEF GRIEF AND GRIEF.
Oh well to me if toshi is out than i want ISHMEET TO WIN.
BY THE WAY HI SHWETA AND ROSSI.
C ya
how r u JENNY?
im just quiting buddy..lots of work to do..and it didnt hurt me tht Toshi is out..my be there will be no further contact from me to u ppl..so take care dear.
tataz
Irfan we all wish you, you will be come as guest gudge in next VOI, but take care from two chaalbazz “Jatin & Lalit”.
This is a double shocker news! Ishmeet can sustain his vote-bank, Abhas can improve but Harshit getting the highest votes is just unbelievable! What has he done so good?…He used be in bottom two for the past two episodes!
Anyways, the message is clear in VOI now, imitate a singer and anyone who tries to be original is shown the exit!
Its good that Irfan has got a break bigger than VOI. Hope something similar happens to Toshi as well.
VOI stinks of bad odours now. Is not worth wasting any more energies on it.
Good luck people.
hey As i am totaly with you man all rigged why in the hell they do these kinda shows that really makes all the people so sad and mad.
Rossi i know u must be sad but what to do i went through this in sgrmp and learnt the hard way.
Hope this is a wrong news that toshi is out.
Its time to say harshit bye bye.
Abhas is way better than harshit.
Toshi and ismeet are good.
Jenny, SRGMP was much better…at least it could sustain substance till the final…And its judges were not disgusting, were mature and behaved like mentors while giving feedback on the contestants’ performance and performance alone…without any mention of their family members, age etc.
If I go down the VOI’s memory lane, first thing that I would remember is the disgusting, useless, worthless jury of judges it had who rejoiced in front of the camera when a good contestant is eliminated, at the cost of their favorite, never provided any constructive feedback, never sounded mature.
Thanks Shastri brother, the news about Irfan made me very happy. He deserves this no doudt, can not wait to have his first CD released. Now just FYI for every body, even if our favourite singer might not be the VOI , but they would have lots of apportunities ahead of them that will make their dreams come true… you know one thing I think we should all agree,that is,to nominate Shastri and Zaki for the top two , out of three, finalists to the award of Star fan of VOI….Agree ??? hats off to you both. I realy enjoy reading your comments. god bless.
Hey Jenny, How r ya!:)
I am so shocked to hear the news about Toshi’s elimination! I thought for sure he would reach finals! I am not a Toshi fan, but I liked a few of his performances in last couple of shows!
My personal fav is Abhaas and am happy he is still in, but I didnt like Wild card! I would be happy if either Harshit or Ishmeet wins coz they were originally there. Abhilasha and Irfaan should have gotten Wild Card chance too.
Shastri congrats yaa, I knew Irfaan would make it big! I told ya…Talent will find its way! Cheers!
Stay blesed people!
IRFAN, IRFAN and only IRFAN.
And I agree, Harshit never took his Daadi’s name, its the judges who keep referring to Daadima!
Nonetheless…..Harshit’s voice sounds too much like Kumar Sanu…or Kishore Kumar.
Ishmeet looks like a real good person….seedha saada type….but his singing is dull!
Abhaas always is my first choice!
I would have liked Toshi, Abhas and Harshit as finalists too.
Anyway, Toshi is well known, he has Abhejeet as his mentor and adoptee and owns two bikes! He got much from the show! I am sure we’ll see him around …
If Harshit got the highest votes, I am very happy for him! I loved his ‘yai jo mohabbat hai’ last week! Keep it up!
Hey Ppl,
One of my wildest imaginations-
What if Toshi decided to move out of the show becoz he got a much worthier contract from elsewhere and had to take that up immediately? How I wish it is true! His body language will probably give you some clue in the friday’s episode.
I would be on a vacation and would miss (there is nothing to miss now on VOI, to be precise) VOI for few weeks. Do post your comments on this site if you come across something good!
Thanks.
haha sara..Good one!!!!
hey shweta, Abhas has a good voice indeed no doubt at all but he will mature and his voice will be much much better than all the contestant here. Yes all the judges keeps oon saying about dadi and harshit thingi.
Well all i can see is that The PUNDITS WANTS HARSHIT TO WIN BADLY.
I find ABHIJEETA A FAIR ONE.
I know its sad that toshi is being eliminated but he should be thankful that he came back and going at fianl 4 To me its better him going now than later cause if he would have been in final 3 and i know lotssss of people wants him to win and if he didn’t win it would have sunk out heart at least i can take it now than later JUST LIKE IN SGRMP I WAS TORN WHEN RAJA DIDN’T WIN BUT I LEARNT.
As
All your words are right Its like what i really want to say but u know what Its not janta’s choice its the judges choice whom they want to make win.
Yes SGRMP JUDGES WERE STUPID AT TIMES BUT THEY WERE WAY WAY WAY BETTER THAN SVOI.
They use to give feed back to the contestant a lot of things were different thats why THE TRP OF SAREGAMAPA WAS MUCH HIGHER THAN SVOI.
MY BEST PERSON ON SVOI IS SHAN AND ABHIJEET.
tnx
jenny

Hey Zaki, I posted on Oct 28 that Toshi is out. So you believe it now. So my friend go for Ishmit or Harshit.Other fans Don’t feel bad thats the way life goes on.
Gurav, this is incredible! Irfan got a song in Bhatt’s film? WOW! I can’t wait to hear it!
Screw VOI for such lousy show! Jay ho Toshi, Irfan aur Abhaas ki.
guys. with heartfelt sadness ,Toshi is out. I did not wanted to give you this confirmed news, and make his fans sad, but could not resisted. but for Harshit’s fans, he got the bike this week. so for the final it is going to be Abhas, Harshit, and Ishmeet…. it would be instresting. take care you all.
Dear J,
You seem to be a TOO GOOD PERSON to waste ur time and energy on such a cheap n crap show.
The slogan of “Sache surron ki jai jai kar” has been so brutally insulted and slaughtered one wonders how it had been otherwise.
Gajji made a big mistake when selecting the panel of its judges. Aadesh, Lalit and now jatin and Alka are gone to the levels…..they have totally destryed the credibility of this show as well as Gajendra singh.
Lalit continues to taunt Ishmeet w/o finding any musical reasons to base but totally in utter jelousy.
Aadesh, who was a preacher of original voice in SRGMP 2005, has the face now to blatantly admire the copy singing of Harshit.
Jatin has given the “New meanings” to the word of “Neutral” and along with Agni counterparts he has been voicing for harshit due to his “dadi” not for his singing quality (which is not there anyways).
Alka has gutts to say something about “Asool”….my goodness
And even a person like Shan has got involved in politisizing the show by highlighting the States votes drama.. what a cheap effort……just to demorolise poor Ishmeet.
Atleast Abhijeet has been fair most of the time to all contestents (But don’t forget he too disgraced his own Ishmeet for wrong reasons)
Well it has been a circus of jokers as for as ASVOI gurus are concerned and all they have done is a big damage to Star Tv as wellas Gajji’s reputation. They couldn’t give tips to the contestents to improve but only discouragement, fake praise or cheap sympathy and this all speaks for the caliber they possess.
ASVOI has failed to live up to its expectations and its quality deterirated with each passing episode.
In comparison, SRGMP 2007 has been a far far better show despite the disgraceful Hismesh’s stupid antics.
I will appeal to all music lovers watching this show to give atleast a brutal blow to stupid Aadesh, Lalit & Jatin by voting for Ishmeet. After elimination of Irfan and Toshi (which I read on this blog), Ishmeet is the one who deserves to win. He has a very sweet voice, a person with dignity and character.
Fans of Irfan & toshi, pl vote for Ishmeet. God bless Ishmeet.
hi,
this is not a star voice of india. this is judges of india and realy jokes.
how come abbas, harshit, ishmith to the final three. three of them are good but not talented.
we all know they just go with normal songs. abbas is better than other two. but judges not allowed to make it abbas. final should be harshit. because all judges favorite harshith. (except abhijeeth je)
and abhijeeth je you have class. othe judges have no class. they just like a 2 doller singers and music directors. alka, lalith, jathin, aadesh you sucks you 4 should go hell.
for me still
1. irfan
2. toshi
3. sumithra
4. abbas
good to hear gourav. irfan is back. god bless you irfan.
toshi, sumithra don’t worry you also will get chance like irfan. inshallah
Hi Friends,
We should all vote only for ISMEET from Now and see that DAADIMA’S IDIOT to be out.
I am Happy to hear that QAWALI’S IDIOT is out . Its good decision - Definitely Toshi is not a Playback Singer.
Thanks,
SMANN
Hi Friends,
We should vote for Ishmeet or Abhas and try our best to Avoid Harshit becoming VOI.
This Daadi Ma’s Rouge should be kicked out soon.
I am happy that Qawalis Rouge is Kicked out.
Hi , guyz i m a very big fan of irfan . In front of my views irfan is a Voi and i m very sad for his eliminaion shastri we all with u plz i wanna tell to indian janta plz take action for wild card entry before final plzzzzzzz i m in pakistan so i cant do anything just give u suggesion so plz take any anction irfan is one and only the person who sing all type of song so plz try to irfan back before final by the help of wild card entry b/c every body know that judges have said tiz we will use wild card entry when janta will take wrong decision and daddi ( beta mmeinnn tumhhhiein dekkkh to nai sakkkkti maaagggar memera aaaashiiiwaaat ttumhaareyyy saaathhh hhaaaiiii).
People of India suck. I feel sick to call myself and Indian, this is pathetic. this friday will be the last day im on here, only to see Toshi’s last performance. I hope he gets signed to do movies or make albums or come on tour too America. Him and Irfan should come. they were and still are…THE BEST
ishmeet is voice of india basit..i read your all bakwass.. thst very clever you try to put ishmeet down..but dear do feel any thing about music…..if you say music thee is feeling who or somen one touch your soul.by music…ishmeet did………and ishmeet is the really winner if VOI………..GOD BELSS YOU ISHMEET…. AND YOU SHOULD REVERS MORE HIGHTS IN YOUR LIFE…………PLEASE KEP VOTEING FO ISHMEET
Dear Friends,
Please Vote For ISHMEET … Please keep out DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADI MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS IDIOT …….. He is an unfit fellow uses lisp … issss during singing .. he should be kicked ….
@Akal,
I m sure u missunderstood what I said. I like Ishmeet’s sweet voice and voiced for him in my previous mail as well against the discrimination he has been receiving from the so called judges. I sincerely wish he wins in the final.
Its unfortunate that people like u don’t read carefully and write it without giving due thought to the subject matter and respect to others. I can only pray for you to have broad perspective of the things. God bless u dear.
@Nagesh,
Don’t get too upset with India/Indian public! these are rigged shows with manipulating results by the tv channels. There is no fault of the public, the fault is with the procedures of these shows where the rich can vote as many times as he wants and the poor one may not vote even once no matter how much music sense either of the above have. These channels are just looting money from the public in the name of entertainment.
I am not an Indian but have great respect for the Indian people towards their sense and passion for music. So don’t disgrace ur origin due to wrongdoings of bunch of hackers ruining the music shows. Take it easy and take care of urself.
haha..a funny post i found on another web page..here it goes :
PREVIEW OF THE FINAL
SHAAN: Sachche Suaron ka jai jaikaar!Sorry sachche suron ka jai jaikaar. Aaj swayam Saraswati Maa haazir hain Voice of India ko chunne kelieye. Pehli Aawaz Alkaji, aap bulayiye.
Alkaji: Prithvi ka theer, Ishmeet aaja beta
Ishmeet: Sings!!(that’s a joke)
Shaan: Wonderful! kya baat hai Ishmeet. Lataji aap bolenge kya unka gaana theer jaisa laga aapko.
Lataji: Main yah program dekhthi aa rahi hoon. Ishmeet bahut accha insaan hai. Irfan ke liya bahut roya. Ek dum acha bola bala ladka hai ki shabd nahin rah jate.
Harshit : Sings
LATAJI: Aaisa lag raha hi ki yah aavaz bahut suna hai. Kya tum kumar sanu ka chotta baiya hai. Kya Gaata hai. Kamal Hai idhar udhar kuch bhi hila nahin.Makki ka makki bilkul original. Copy karna hai to aise. Shabash!
Abbas: Sings.
Lataji: Wah Wah! Bahut Accha gaya. Agle round me aap hona hi chahiye. Kya Alkaji?
Alkaji: Ji yah final hai.
Lataji: Mujhe ye aawazon sukar laga ki mai kuch auditions keliye aayi thi. Mera kam bhahut aasan hai Abbas ko VOI DE DEEJIYE
Dear Sman, could you please get a life and leave Harshits Dadima out of these conversation please,if Harshit is not your favourit singer, or you think he does not deserve to be VOI , that is fine, you have every right to think so, but you have no right to disrespect others opnions.
and when I read some refers to indian public as fools and uses word “indian public sucks’ is pathetic and totaly immature. I would suggest to please grow up and respect and take pride about where you are coming from.I am not from India but have so much respect and admiration for this nation. I am amazed if some one from india would say this about india.
Hi
I do not know why everybody is so against Harshit. I think Harshit is the best singers in SVOI. Abijeet is the worst judge, he never appreciated Harshit, and looks like he seems to be having some personal issues with Harshit. Every singer is singing the songs already sung by great singers and the closer you sing to the original the better it is. Abhijeet was the one who once said to one singer that we are here to listen like original song not your own creativity added to the song. How can people change so fast? I think Harshit has the strongest command on the SUR that’s why he is able to sing a song almost the same as original. As a matter of fact all the judges keep changing their opinions every now and then. I really do not like when judges try to take sympathy votes for Harshit in the name of his DADI. Toshi is a good singer but he seems to be more in to Qawaali, except couple of songs he has always added some flavor of Qawalli to the song. Ishmeet and Abhaas are good singers too. I think Abhaas and Toshi should have been eliminated before Irfaan because both were already eliminated anyway.
Mr.Masoud Safi—
Take a look clearly at the above mails before giving reply… did “I blame India public sucks” or someone . .First you must grow up … Take Care.
I am happy to Confirm that —- Qawallis (SUFI) ROUGE IS OUT.
I would be happy to confirm that - The coming week Daadi maaaaaaaaaas Rouge would be out soon.
Thanks,
Masoud Safi
Sman, I did not mean it was you said about India. the whole second paragraph was not for you . sorry If I was not very clear. but again,if you respect your dadai ma, then should respect every ones dadima . always respcet every one, if you want to be respected, remember that.
So now , who needs to grow up?????
take care
SAFI,
I respect surely my and your’s as well as others Daadi Maa but I don’t bring her in picture for livelyhoood . If every one brings Daadi and Daada in pic then what is the use of Talent .
First of All KICK OUT THE LISP…ISSSS SINGER HARSHIT - THE DAADI’S IDIOT
I just dont understand why do you guys get so worked up and start blaming each other when some contestant get voted out every week! Only one person can be VoI, and the rest of them will have to be eliminated! Thats just the way it works! When someone gets voted out, it doesnt mean you have to start blaming the Judges…..or people who like other contestants! And most importantly, in these reality shows…the result is almost ALWAYS unexpected.
Judges favoured and not favoured every contestant st every point right from the beginning. Everyone started “loving” Abhijit when he “adopted” Toshi…and people started saying that he was the best judge of them all……in fact according to me, he needs to grow up the most! All this Wild Card Lafda started because of Abhijit acting like a kid…..Ziddi….Wild Card was unfair……who was out should have remained out! That was manipulating the results!
Whatever…everyone has a right to express their opinion. Its one thing to like a particular contestant..and another to just hate everyone else coz they like other participants!
Like I said…its just a show and these producers play on our these emotions. They just want to increase their TRP’s…..they arent concerned about who is the best of them all…..ultimately…people who deserve would get chances. Like Irfaan..he is already recording a song for Vishesh Films.
So wd Abhaas..or Toshi….if they are such great singers!
stay blessed!
@ Anuj,
I agreee, Abhijeet is very partial and makes very rude comments! He needs to grow up the most!
Hmmm … interesting development !
Justice prevails after all … it would be an icing on the cake if Ishmeet and Harshit make it to the finals (it will bring sanity back … two of the original four in the final four would make more sense that an elminated contestant + wild card reject + forcible veto making it to the final)
Nothing against Ahbaas but at this stage Ishmeet doesnt deserve to loose a spot in the final
Prem, I do agree with you 100%.
How unlucky IRFAN is, I respect toshi but for me Irfan is way ahead of him cause of his voice clarity & the passion he puts in the song, but he is ill fated as no media is making such a controversy as was made for Toshi
How unfair, if 3 contestants can have 1 chance, all of them deserves one
Where are you Irfan fans, why dont’ U come on the streets & tell them who you want to WIN VOI
Knock! Knock!! Zakki.
In one of you comments you had mentioned that Lata ji will come for the final only if Toshi is one of the contestants. Any update on the changed scenario?
But my personal opinion is that it would be sheer wastage of time for a person like her to come to the final and choose the winner from the leftovers! Not only that, VOI does not have a stature matching Lata Mangeshkar! But she can definitely preside over if a final is held among all the eliminated contestants!
Wonder if she is not pained with the idea of being part of such a rigged show?
Guys,
All this talk about vetoed candidates. The candidates who got thrown out of the show at various points are not necessarily the worst.
This show is so terrible that good candidates are always getting screwed. Abhaas should never have been thrown out to begin with. Toshi never should have been thrown out so early either. Where is the logic in those decisions?
I am glad Abhaas is back, and I hope he does well.
Also please stop attacking Harshit about his grandma. I believe his love and devotion is genuine. Whenever I win a prize for a skilled matter, at my acceptance speeches I always talk about my late mother - and I will never stop.
Its all about a great love!!! I see the same in Harshit.
Schweta, I wish I knew you as a friend. You sound like my kind of person. Just tell me, which part of the world are you from? …just curious!
AS, I feel your pain, but stop the whining! Enough crap out of you! You idiots are the ones who caused a great crash in Toshi’s image.
All this talk about voting fraudulently. Do you know it was published that some song writers do not want to touch him because of the stain you guys put on him?
This will cause you guys to go into a state of denial, but may people have written about you guy’s idiotic behavior. Rossi, where are you?
Oh yes…How much Harshit loves his dadi was very evident from his answer to the question “What does VOI title mean to you?”
I don’t think he even mentioned about his dearest dadi ma there by mistake!
AS, what’s your point? This is typical of the Toshi fan club - childish!!!!!!
You losers can suck salt, Toshi is going home this week. Hopefully he doesnt cry like a 4yr old child again this time.
Honorable Sman!
If once harshit brought his dadi ma, who is the dearest person to her, on the stage, it was because he was away from hom for 5 months, as any other contestants were missing their families. So if he loves his grand ma this much, he should be admired.
just for few moments reflects about what you think about this guy,Harshit, put your emotions and irrational component aside, just use your rational side, which I am sure the second one is more powerful in you then the first one, you will find commenting about him/dadima is not right,rather I find it redicilous. I would suggest only focus on voice quality,and vote for the one you want to be the VOI,just simply do not waste your valuable time on commenting on something that has nothing to do with music and talent..Agree?,
having said this all, you have every right to express your apinions,in a respectful manner though,all I am trying get across is the right thing to do.
quick question after all, why you hate this guy this much anyways?
hey Harold, I’m from US, Oklahoma. What abt u?
Toshi i love your voice come on hrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
chalo! Harshit ki dadi ka zikar ho to masla …. na ho to bhe masla!
One of HArshit Fan spread this NEWS…
All my dear friends , this is breaking news , that Harshit is grandson of Peter Mukherjie ( CEO Star TV) . No wonder to save his job Gajendra Singh is unashamedly supporting him. Harshit is indirectly related to UPs chiefminister Mayawati as well. So Sonia Gandhi has asked Peter Mukherjie that if you want your job in Star then you have to make Harshit win , this way I will be able to please Mayawati and she in turn will let congress win in UP!!You see Harshit is so influential that all judges are favoring him and are genuinely favoring him , as for the rest of the contestent they are all faking every appreciation all the time. So when they have praised Toshi and Irfan and Abhilaasha and Abhaas actually they are all faking , only time they are genuine and they really mean it when they praise Harshit. You see Harshit is a VIP and Star TV is bound to help him all the time otherwise many a jobs are at stake. According to some at India VOI Forum feel that Harshit is been treated like VIP so I had to let the cat out of the bag. Guys Harshit has all the judges and STAR TV people eating out of his hands . If you all did not know this I am breaking this secret out today.
and plz dont ask me n e question…im quiting this…and if u want to know about the cheating of HARSHIT’s fan and how deplometic they r then visit their community in orkut….u will find it.
and to some ppl I avoid here, plz stop talking about Toshi’s image…u dont really care for that…u people r diplometic.
take care
Actually that is not the full story. The names of President Bush and Kofi Anan were also involved
Rossi,do you realy think , people will just buy the crap that you just wrote here, all I can say is feel sorry for you ,go get a reality check.
this site is meant for music lovers, for people with good judgement abilities, for people who are respeceted and highly educated,everything here being discuused are based on facts, not just meaningless propagada as yours. I just loughed when I read your last comment about Harshits , being a VIP and bla bla bla…deee.. is any one else here truly believe this makes sense or it is just me.
Sara..you are right, god knows who else is indirectly involved with Harshit and star voice of india….lol…..hahahahahahah some people hay.
SANITY CHECK
Friends let us maintain our dignity here and not drag ourselves down to the level of the judges.
IF Toshi has been eliminated let us accept it with grace and dignity and look forward to some great performances from him on Friday.
Let us be thankful that we have have had the rare previlege of listening to such a wonderful artiste as Toshi and hope and pray he gets on to a stage bigger than SVOI and achieves the success that he deserves.
With Irfan and Toshi gone there are no sentimental favourites left for me to watch the show after Friday…
Friends, good luck with your favourite contestants and keep enjoying music…
Cheers
Zaki
I PRAY THAT TOSHI GET BIG BREAK LIKE IRFAN THERE IS NO REASON LEFT TO WATCH VOI AFTER THIS FRIDAY
I CANT BELEIVE IT
All I say is that you cannot keep a good guy down for long.
I would rather that Irfan, or any good singer for that matter, come back to this show.
They should explore their talent elsewhere.
But like ZAKI said: we ought to respect this show and this chat space for giving us an opportunity to explore music. Imagine, IRFAN got a break because he was given a great platform via this show. True, he was unfairly eliminated, but the purpose was achieved. God bless.
i can`t believe that it`s wrong i hate asvoi
ppl who r criticizing me…i got ur words that u find the fact baseless…same way i want to tell u that other ppl who r spreading msges about TOSHI’s image and his frnds r fake too and baseless..TOSHI’s fans r not diff than other ppl…they say about cheating…i ask u, do u think fans of HARSHIT and others r gentle??…no my dear they r diplometic.
the msg i have post above is not mine and neither do i support it completely…but i want u to know msges posted by others against TOSHI fans r also fake like this.
but ofcourse i do believe that there r some fact which shows VOI is partial towards HARSHIT.
TAKE CARE ALL

Hi Basit
I am really pleased to read your comments over this show and for the first time, i felt as if i am reading some mature person on this forum! very good analysis about the judges!
Though pandit brothers have never been fair to anyone in the show except Harshit, the credibility of aadesh and alka also kept deteriorating day by day! the saving grace in the panel of judges has only been Abhijeet who after making wrong comments on Ishmeet had the guts to apologise in front of the entire public for what he said.. i liked his gesture.But the turn that Shan took in the recent episode was shocking!! I had always liked this guy but his recent neutral zone drama was just intended to further demoralise Ishmeet. Also his comment on Irfan’s elimination when he said, if it continues to be like this, Voice of India will left to a Voice of State! another cheap comment to Ishmeet! And the way these judges rejoiced enjoyed on Irfan’s elimination was again undigestable… The only three singers that deserve the finals were Irfan, Ishmeet and Toshi, Irfan being the most consistent and versatile player, Ishmeet having the best Voice and Toshi the most technically correct Singer… Since two of these three are out, the only deserving one is Ishmeet.. so I urge all the readers to vote for Ishmeet and slap these idiot judges by not letting Dadi Maa’s grandson…
It is so sad that Irfan is out….lakin ye loag (Abhilasha aur Irfan) jo final four main pohanch gaey thay, in ka kiya qasoor tha. in sab ko bhi aik chance milna chahiyay wild card entry main.
This is not fair at all. Muhammad Irfan is the best singer, and he can face any challenge. Irfan & Abhilasha should be back. At that day, Alka jee was very happy for Harshit (that he has reached to final 4), but what about Irfan….she was not shocked at all (Although Irfan was the guy of Prithvi team–her own team). it is really very disappointing moment, that Irfan is out. Gajj jee, please do justice….this is not fair.u people should give a chance to all those contestants who performed after wild card entry, and now has been eliminated through the show.
One more thing that Alka jee said, that previously that was an “out of the ordinary situation”………what is it?if that was an out of an ordinary situation, than what happened now?Abhilasha and Irfan, both are the contestents of this show as Abhaas, Toshi, Priyani etc.
Audiance, please do some thing for Abhilasha & Irfan, they both should get a chance……Please Please
Thanks
Irfan & Abhilasha both are very very besttttttttt………………..and no doubt about Toshi as well.
REALLY INDIAN IDOL WALAY JUDGES THAY PATA CHALTA HY VOI UF NOWZUBILLA.I HATEEEEEEEEEEEEEE VOI I HATE STAR PLUS……..allah bless u toshi.
can you some one confirm please ….toshi is out or still in VOI…Please some body confirm…. thanks…
yes har u r right
yes we will have to vote for ishmeet and kick out harshit
yes it`s confrm.
v sad news
Well toned comments Zaki!
Hi all
I also wanna highlight another fact here about pandit brothers..u must be remembering the pre bemisaal 12 days.. there was a singer who sang like kumar sanu and these pandits had discouraged him like anuthing saying that what future does this guy hold when there are already people who r singing like him! the poor guy cud not make it to the last 12.. and see how they have contradicted their own words when they support harshit’s unoriginal voice!! true hypocrites they are! its like they are licking their own spit… we cud not expect anything worse from these people.
Hi Basit… sorry about my comments…and i completely agree with you Har… so we all will vote to ISHMEET..
Thanks//
voi just sucks!!! u kno ppl shud stop watchin the show n teach them a lesson
wat the hell?? toshi?? its unbelievable!! y did they bring him bak then??? just to show how fai tehy were n they never suporeted anyone so tht they cud eliminate all of them hu came bak one again n make tht harshit win!! tht harshit doesnt even cut his nails..loser!!! im nt gonna watch the show again n toshi n irfan fans plzzzzzzzzz dont vote at all , nt 4 harshit atleast!! i am really gonna miss toshi.love dhim a lot!! u kno wt i hope that he too gets a good future n an oppurtunity like irfan. i really do hope!! he was the jaan of teh show. gonna miss him!!! ppl plzzz dont vote for harshit lets nt mak things easy for them.
sorry guys a lot of speelin mistakes in teh previous msg, am really pissed thts y.
fair*
they* supported* once* loved* the*
@ALL
I always thought that people who criticize TOSHI’s singing is becoz of the competition Toshi is giving with their favorites…but after the confirmed news of his elemination those idiots r still criticizing him…some of them r saying that he was not deserving, he is a limited singer, he can only sing kawali and folk or sufi…people who r saying so plz listen to me…I am giving u an open challenge…within next 5 years u wil find toshi singing at least a sad song in every Hit film in indian film industry.
I’ve been listening to SRGMPA since my childhood…heard many singers singing in such contests…few of them become legend now a days…but none of them had the DARD in their voice at the age of 20 as Toshi has…yes the DARD remember the word…this is going to make TOSHI a legend.
I saw some freak saying Toshi can never be is the main stream…Avijeet from Indian Idol had a plain voice like Avaas and Harshit…where is he in the main stream…but i challenge u AMANAT from SRGMPA will be in the main stream…is his voice a plain voice…I cahallenge u people wont accept the voice of Harshit…becoz its just a copy…if it was exeptable then KUMAR SANU should have been singing all the songs now a days.
Again no TOP HERO of indian industry wont like Avaas to sing for them…he may be a good singer but his voice quality wont suit a dashing hero…his voice quality may suit DILIP KUMAR 30 years back.
In the coming 20 years in indian industry Toshi will be singing most of the sad songs and his songs will be immortal…its a challege…VOI doesnt know what they have lost.
Go and listen to the songs TERI DIWANI, TERE BIN, CHITTYIE, LAAGAN LAGI, FIRTA RAHOON, TARAP HO TUM, MAIN JAHA RAHOON these r not all folk or sufi songs…listen to them and compare other singers with him.
If Himesh R can be a successful play back singer then Toshi is gonna be the greatest singer in the indian history…the DARD in his singing will make him a legend.
TAKE CARE ALL
DOES’NT MATER WITCH
that will be ACCEPTABLE…wanna slap myself for this kinda silly mistakes..but hey it happens yaar.
Helloo every body.. about VOI….TOSHI is out its confirm news or not… very bad….but any way after toshi only one is good singer in VOI..He is ISHMEET.. now we should vote to ISHMEET….because ISHMEET HAS VOICE QUALITY AS PALYBACK SINGING…
yes rossi ur right one day will come he will be the legend
a confirmed news from star tv network detail of votes will be with u ppl in a few hours from now
three finalist are
Toshi,Harshit and ishmeet let me scrutinize this a little more will provide u the exact vote count. thank ya
ali are u telling truth plz give confirm news plz dont play our hearts
the information above is 100% correct i will also tell u the details of why irfan had to face the elimination also y abhijeet did not come to the show until then good bye.I challenge you that all the details and if i get them will be an eye-opener and the few rules that we treated as sacred cow were nothing but a pristine eye wash keeping my fingers crossed !!!
Hi every body..can you please tell me who get the highest vote……is that true that TOSHI IS OUT..Please reply….thank you all..
Ali i dont understand what u r trying to say…what confirmed news???
ALI PLZ TELL US RIGHT NEWS
hey NOMS he is fake….he is just playing with emotion…nothing else…dont listen to him.
Hi J,
A total off tangent comment on the site:
You mentioned that your number 3 task of processing and uploading videos took longer time…Was wondering if you tried any new options this time?
Cheers.
please tell whats true….
Another off tangent remark…but not perpendicular to my regular comments!
Warning : With due respect to your interests, if you have aversion to logical analysis, please don’t read further.
If you are here that means you have a non-zero willingness to take the ‘logical’ dose.
Disclaimer:
These are not a whining remarks on Toshi’s elimination.
Here they go:
1.Star Plus (SP) wants to make money…It is just not their concern who really wins the show as long as they make huge bucks. Even if you disagree with this, do read on.
2. If they want to make a particular contestant win the VOI, they can still do that…but they would definitely need support of a contestant who is a mass puller.After all, money made = K*number of sms they receive
3. It also does not matter to SP what the reason of these sms are, ethical or unethical.
4. They have seen what happened to the show when Toshi was sent out (whatever may be the reason)
5. I dont think they are fool enough not to anticipate that public interest is going to take a quantum dip if the most popular candidate is out.
6. If you compile all these facts together, they all point to that they should not meddle with the crowd puller of their show. This means, leaving the top slot, they can fiddle around and try to satisfy ppl with political/power or whatever connections. But this is applicable only until the final.
7. They can meddle with the top candidate only in the final for a very simple reason that they would have made all the money they could have by then.
8. Infact business sense should(?) dictate them to keep Toshi in the show even if they have to bend some rules…the point is they only bother about their interest and nothing else.
Barring all the sentiments, it just does not fit in the logic that Toshi is sent out.
The only way it can happen is if there is any important factor that has got missed out…I am trying hard to figure out what can that be? After all, math is the most basic and reliable tool to understand anything that happens in this world and beyond!
Hope this wasn’t an overdose…and thanks for reading thru!
Rossi Mate,
Couldn’t agree with you more regarding Toshi becoming a legend! One hundred percent behind you on this one mate.
Toshi is an “extra-ordinary singer” - he has the TADAP and DARD in his voice. He is a “singers singer” -I am sure singers like Shaan, Sonu Nigam and Udit Narayan would go to listen to him any day than to go and listen to Harshit and Abhas!
With all sincerety and due respect to singers like Sonu Nigam, Shaan, Udit Narayan and even Kishore Kumar (many consider him to be a great - I am sorry I dont - he had no ability for harkatein - he was a seedha seedha singer)- they are a dime a dozen singers!
Singers like Toshi are God’s Gift to music.
Whether Toshi actually becomes a legend in wordly terms - only time will tell.
But in my eyes he is already a better singer than any of the current “regular established bollywood singers”.
I challenge each and everyone of them to deliberatly miss a beat and come back in meter like Toshi does. If even one of them did it ten tim
