Pranav Srivastava – Chhaiya Chhaiya in Indian Idol 4

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

Pranav Srivastav is a contestant in Indian Idol 4.

I have to admit that the first time, I fast-forwarded through Pranav’s performance. That’s how much I did not like it. Then, I made myself listen to it again to figure out why. This is what was wrong: he was nasal throughout, he had poor breath control, and there was no feeling at all. It seems like he sang it straight through, without any thought to voice modulation or sentiments. He also didn’t complete his sentences. Yikes! He stands a good chance of being eliminated on Friday.

SB: There are a lot of expectations from you. A lot of things went wrong today. How do you think you did? (Said he thought he could sing better).
AM: You lost your breath in many places, especially in the main mukhda. When you sing “Chhaiya Chhaiya,” you have to stay in tune, on beat, and with appropriate places to take a breath. I also thought it was little nasal. But somewhere along the way, I thought you tried to pick up on the song, and I like that. I think you should be given another chance.
JA: I liked your performance on the whole for the reason that you were not copying Sukhwinder at all, but you tried to capture the spirit of the song.
KK: You have a good voice. It’s okay that you chose this song for the challenge because when you hit the high notes, you go nasal.
