Amanat, not Raja ' the number 1

It was all smiles for Amanat Ali this week, for not only was he in, but also the number 1 challenger for the week. One could see the gleam in Ismaliji’s eyes, who sure did congratulate him, adding, that to win the show he shall have to remain the number 1 by focusing more on his performance. This week was also a request Friday. Hence we had television stars requesting the contestants to sing their favourite songs.

First on the line was Rohit Roy, who requested Amanat to sing “Aye Ajnabi” from the movie “Dil Se”. Rohit was all praises for Amanat’s voice quality. Challenger number 2 was Aneek Dhar. Upon Deven Bhojwani’s request he sang the title song “Apne to apne hotey hai” from the movie “Apne”. Shekhar was so moved by the performance that he (almost) had tears in his eyes. He voiced his appreciation for Aneek by declaring that he shall not only be the number 1 in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa but shall also rule the industry.
”Add as much honey as you can to the song” requested Kshitee when she asked Sumedha Karmahe to sing her favourite song “Kabhi Neem Kabhi Shehad” from the movie “Yuva”. Her say – “Your voice is as sweet as your looks”. An impressed Bappi Da thanked Chatisgarh for sending such a talented singer to Sa Re Ga Ma Pa.

People, what is happening? Raja Hasan, our number 1 performer till sometime ago, has slipped to number 4? He has been such an awesome performer, so why the slip, we wonder? Raja seemed in no mood to talk about the number game, modestly stating that his very survival in the show to date was due to all the votes that you guys have religious sent. Wow. That’s what we call the true sportsman’s spirit (or will that be the singer’s spirit or singer sportsman spirit? Oh ho …). Raja’s fan, the dusky beauty Rajshree was in a mood to get candid. “We have one thing in common” she said “my dad calls me Raja too.” Raja sang “Akhiya nu chane na aye” from the movie “Bandit Queen” and won the heart of Shekhar who firmly believes that Raja sings from heart and hence his songs are always “felt” deep within.

Poor Poonam! Why can’t the world look at her as a singer and not add those extra tons of pity. Hey, come on … let’s focus on her performance and not on what her past/present conditions back home are. She sang “Sabki baaratein aye” from the movie “Jaanam Samjha Karo” upon the request of Smriti Irani, who (like the many) said how she was inspired by Poonam’s spirit to arise from the struggling phase.

Mauli found her a triplet of fans in the lead actresses of “Teen Bahuraniyan.” She sang “Nayi nahee” from “Parineeta”. Beautiful Prachi Desai request Mussarat to sing “Tere bin nahi lagda dil” from the movie “Traffic Signal”. “You shall not only get your roti but also Biriyani and all that you want” said Prachi. Mussarat sure bowled over Himeshji, who openly voiced his heart out, saying that if the day were the finals of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, he sure would have won the battle. But alongside, he also confessed his uneasiness about the star performer being eliminated. However when Harpreet Deol was eliminated, Himeshji was as upset as the others. He consoled the moist eyed Harpreet by explaining to him, that in the contest, ultimately the battle would be between two performers only. But that in no way meant that one was better/worse than the other. So with Harpreet, one more pearl gone. Seven remain.

  3. leigh says

    I think amanat shuld of won and raja to come runner up then aneek 2nd runner

  4. Ray Khan says

    Amanat is the real winner of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. Even though he was the 2nd Runner up, in my opinion the result has been manipulated. Amamat’’s versatile singing is far above his other two contemporaries - Aneek & Raja. This is an unfair decision. As Judge Ismail Darbar said that he was stunned at the result which gave Amanat 3rd position. The audience doesn”t seem to be lsitening properly. Amanat’’s singing abilities are far above the two other competitors.

    Amanat Ali is the realy the best n on the top of all

  8. Husein Ali says

    Hi all,
    Amanat played Emotional game with people.
    I understand he sung well yesterday, however lyrics of songs it self is very good. so if any singer (with some what good voice) sung than evey one will definately cry.
    so its power of lyrics not the singer.
    so don”t get involved in Emotion and pls vote to truly gr8 singers like Raja.

    and yes I am really missing Mussarat in this final.

    Amanat , what the hell were you upto…. why the stress… you could have and possibly have lost the comp. becos of this fridays performance. You are the best and all music lovers know it but with the kind of performance you gave today i was speechless, not becos you mwere good but cos you were sooooo bad…We love you amanat and i have personally been voting for you since the first episode and possibly you r going to cost me doubly this week but only cos opf your past performances..You are younger than my fisrt child .. a son in dubai flying with the emirates, and i to quote myself”kuch pichle janam ka rishta hoga that ive been with you throughtout ” since tomorrow is the last perfomance you better make it your best amanat or ill

    keep up pak no difference b/w india pakistan

  15. alternate current says

    himesh is again acting funny,aneek is a trained classical singer,what ever he sings is entirely his own calibre,he si ngs from his childhood.himesh has no contribution in his performance,by telling about his so called love affair himesh is making himself cheap.aneek is only 17 yrs old his voice will also grow to be more matured, himesh should immediately stop all this non sence.vishal shekhar has already said that aneek is the only participant ready for recording.

  16. Anurag says

    sab good singer nikal gaye HIMESH naoutankiya bacha hai. global image ke liye Amanat ko preferance mil rahi hai. mouli ke sath TRP bhi gayee. Ab SMS kike liye ?Amanat NO no no…….

  17. Nisha says

    Please listen & vote properly..For Amanat, most of his songs he’’s always out of tune.. Please vote carefully if not 1day u”ll regret. RAJA is a great singer which can sing all types of song. So lets all vote for RAJA !!

    RAJA RAJA RAJA is the champion..

  18. ziya says

    amanat is the star of the wiiiiiiiiik

  19. Prasanna says

    I feel Himesh Reshmaiya tries to pull down Raja as he is scared of Raja becoming number one. Mussaraj sang very bad on previous Fri and Raja sang extremely well on that day. This is a cheap attach by Himesh on the Sept 14th Show.

  20. Mehul Shah says

    What I have suspected is Amanat is receiving lots of VOTES by the medium of Internet which is FREE of COST. Thus particular community worldwide is voting for him using some proxy ips, fake emails etc.

    PLEASE HELP OUT and ALERT the Director of this show about this.

  21. macleana says

    het amanot u rock man..just keep going….my best wishes r alwayz with u….best of luck ..will pray so that u become the winner…

  22. Dr.Suleman says

    AMANAT, YOU ARE REALLY NOT WINNING THE CONTEST BUT ALSO WINNING THE HEARTS OF MANY INDIANS, MY HAT OFF TO THIS GREAT UNDERSTANDING NATION. MUSIC KNOWS NO BOUNDRY….IT IS BEING PROVED.
    GOOD LUCK AND KEEP UP THE ATTITUDE AND SPIRIT HIGH.

  23. Naz says

    Raja will stay remains no.1 in our heart, lets all vote for him & bring him to the right place :->

  24. swagata says
