Uda ke rakh diya

Aimlessly channel-surfing yesterday, I started watching Sa Re Ga Ma Pa on Zee and boy was I bowled over.

This is one of the fist reality shows which gets members of the public to compete on the basis of their singing prowess. This particular International edition has been going on for the past 6 months or so and I have been following it intermittently. Now its between the top three who are vying for the top spot.

I caught their final episode before the Grand Showdown yesterday.

I had watched Anik singing 'Laaga Chunari Mein Daag' a couple of weeks back and well, I was left speechless.

Another time I saw Raja singing 'Teri Deewani' - again speechless.

Then yesterday, Amanat sang 'Tujhse naaraz nahin zindagi' - I actually had tears in my eyes by the time he finished. he sang with so much of emotion.

All three are winners in their own way and hats off to all three of them - they'r waaaay better than all those Mika, Rehaana etc etc etc. I don't even bother remembering their names now. Their albums would be blockbusters only on their singing and not because of the hordes of almost naked females going 1,2,3

Wishing all three all the very best for their Grand Finale
