Ali Hussain – Piya Re in Indian Idol 4

This snippet has been taken from curlio.com.  You should visit that site for more such juicy details.

Ali Hussain is a contestant in Indian Idol 4.

Ali started the alaap off really strongly and then lost it again with the mukhda. After my short-lived excitement, I wanted to throw a heavy object at my poor computer screen because of the disappointing manner of this episode. Then Ali forgot the lyrics – again! This happened to him in the Theater Rounds as well. Geez man, get it together!!

His voice is not suited to the Sufi genre. If he knew this to be a fact, he should have picked another song for the first round. Experiment after you’ve secured a spot in the Top 12, which will give you plenty to time to practice a song that is not in your genre. This was a disappointing performance for me. It was too sloppy. Here, I want to disagree with Sonali (read her comments below). A singer forgetting the words is a good enough reason for me to not vote for him if he does it repeatedly. If it happens once, that can be forgiven, but to let someone off the hook over and over again is not the right approach.

KK: This is my favorite song and you’ve sung it well, especially since your voice is not for this song.
JA: There is a voice that is for modern singing and one that is generally for traditional. This is a folk song, but even “modern” singers like Kishore Kumar and Mohammad Rafi could work in the folk genre. You needed polish.
SB: Your problem has always been that you forget words. This is not the reason for us to lose a voice like this.
AM: Another stupid couplet, but he praised Ali. I think you can go far. Just hold on to what you’ve got. If you do, you’ll get far.
