William Hung and the Clowns in the Saregamapa Forums

Check out the forums running online on saregamapa. On second thoughts, don’t bother with them. There are a few forums running on the web about Saregamapa - all infested by teens from across the world, who can’t differentiate sa from re - and yet everyday would keep screaming about what singing is. These are these […]

Raja Hasan - Rut Aa Gayee Re - 1947 Earth - 28th July

Raja rocks yet again. In an episode where a weak performance was hardly visible, Raja’s Rut Aa gayi re was fantastic. Of course, Himesh reminded him about being the “most hyped singer” - wrong choice of words. But Raja was quick enough to throw back Himesh’s challenge right back. “Being #1 is no great deal. […]

Affo Khuda - Jab Jab Phool Khile

Well, Raja Hasan doesn’t seem to be a friday night fanatic. His performance of Affo Khuda from Jab Jab Phool Khile was certainly not his best to date. But from the promos we saw, tomorrow night’s performance (Rut aa gayee re) is sure to rock. Video below:

Raja Hasan’s Eklavya Performance - Subah Subah

Here’s an old, not often seen video clip of Raja’s performance in the Eklavya gharana. The song is Subah Subah from the Arjun Rampal movie - I See You. The song is a wonderful composition by Vishal-Shekhar and sng by Zubeen Garg. One of their better compositions, that simply didn’t fare well.
The video is just […]

The politics of SareGaMaPa - the Zee TV manipulation

For those who believe Zee TV’s Saregamapa is a honest show, forget it. It simply isn’t. It is sheer manipulation of figures to ensure that it maximises revenue.
KBC had appointed independent process auditors - KPMG, who looked that there wasn’t any rules that were flouted. They kept a check to ensure that phone callers selected […]

Will SareGaMaPa be banned?

There’s a very good chance of SareGaMaPa being discontinued. Thanks to Zee Telefilms messy ways. Briefly, they simply haven’t bothered to obtain prior license from IPRS and PPL for use of literary and musical works and sound recordings. And now they have a court order hanging over their necks. Other shoes, including Indian Idol have […]

Preview: Raja Hasan picks up an unheared song

For his saturday performance - where contestants sing Salman Khan’s numbers, Raja Hasan has a strange choice. He will be singing “Sun le Mahiya” from a movie called Dus. But this “Dus” isn’t the lousy Anubhav Sinha flick. It is a movie that never got made. Mukul Anand, who was directing this movie, died in […]
