Vaishali: Made For Saregamapa Victory?
Her hometown is just a couple of hours drive away from my place - but it hardly can be called a town. It’s a small village called Khartale, which one would struggle to find on Google Earth, and it’s only claim to fame is the high level of salinity in drinking water - that gets reported in the media occasionally -something that has forced people to from the village to migrate.
But there is absolutely no salinity in her Vaishali Bhaisne Made’s voice - who comes from this remote village in Maharashtra. It perhaps is the only voice in the current series of Saregampa that really impresses me.
Vaishali Made (Or Mhade), isn’t the pretty conventional voice that Saregamapa has picked this year. The fact that she is a class apart can be gauged from the fact that our own Dr.Rahul is extremely impressed with her.
Here are a few excerpts of what Dr.Rahul has to say :
Vaishali’s song (Der na ho jaaye) was not just sur-perfect …but it was shruti enriched. Listen out for the lines “mar gayeeee hum khuli rahi aankhen….” there is so much dard in her shrutis. However, for the sake of perfection, I must mention that she went slightly off in her sargam in the beginning, but she finished that part with her Mind-blowing soprano throw on the higher parts.
[..]
Her voice range is mezzo-soprano, which fits between alto and soprano voices. These songs require powerful lower pitch singing. Powerful or not, I don’t know, but her voice quality was shining in this song. Towards the end there are wonderful aalaps and harkats. She was wonderfully delicate while taking her variation. We have seen many reality show singers in this genre: Poonam, Himani, Rithisha. Vaishali brings in her own uniqueness while singing this genre.
Though Vaishali Made’s singing is amazing, there are a few hiccups. There’s a sad domestic story that unfortunately Zee loves to trumpet around. Her choice of songs, though wonderful, aren’t exactly the ones that the young generation would like to listen. And she belongs to the Himesh gharana. Sob-story or no sob-story, Himesh or any other gharana, Vaishali still has the potential to win Saregamapa - if things are decided on pure singing talent.
You could follow Vaishali Made’s progress on her unofficial blog here. And before I finish, guess who was among her favourite singers in Saregamapa 2007? Raja Hasan, of course.
Check out her Der Na Jo Jaaye on Saregamapa 2009.

just heard the song.
very very beautiful voice and singing.
Dr rahul…. i don’t know the technicalities of music……so i can’t say anything.
but your choice is superb.
i am impressed with such a mature singing.
GOD bless her.
feeling very nice to know that her favorite singer is raja.
RHB / He,
Thanks for the covering Vaishali here. I hope she goes further.
I am afraid the way things are going, she might be getting eliminated next. Himesh has three contestants so his gharana is likely for the elimination, and Asma is getting just too much coverage and popularity!
Although I am no where proficient in running blogs, here is a few collection of her videos (www.vaishalimhade.com). Pl. support her if you like her singing. her videos from marathi srgmp are exclusive…(check out for her saz-e-dil )
i feel vaishali will be eliminated soon…one thing is fr sure ,winner wil be a female contestant.
Idon’t know about this girl I like the other one and mrHE raja ki yeh tasweer achi hai I approve this one reminds me of the raja we all became fans of the raja with the orange shirt that one had to stop and listen and then look for times of saregamapa to catch his singing by the way Mr HE my daughter and I were listening to Raja in the car on our way home and she turned and asked me mao why doesn’t he sing like this anymore I thought hmmm is canadian ko bhi yeh baath samajh mein a rahi hai
Rahul, it will be a big shame if Vishali doesn’t make it to at least top 3…..but i guess where votes are concerned anything is possible…
…I hate when Himesh always has to bring her past up….Gosh that man….
Mao auntyyyyy…main bhi Canadian hoon, aur mujhe bhi samaj ati hai…lol
I love Vaishali.. I think she is THE best singer and u know what she reminds me of sweet Nihira.. and i dont know what anyone thinks or want but I sure will be heartbroken if Vaishali gets eliminated. she is very talented and has awesome soothing voice - a voice that touches my heart!!!
i would do anything to support her.. and i really hope people will recognize the real potential and make her the winner.
Go Vaishali Go!!!
I switch on my TV for SRGMP only to listen to Vaishali.
Vaishali sweetie - i love you and God bless you dear!! I am wishing and praying nothing but the best of best for you. May you be the winner in real life. Please know one thing - you already found a loyal fan in me!
mao.. maybe he doesnt sing like that anymore because of the glamour exposure.. too much exposure to glamour can do harm then good sometimes.. people tend to get diverted and also with other things one come across the real innocense has to change hands with the smartness that is required in bollywood.
vote for vaishali… the most deserving and talented candidate!!!
Vaishali is superb… but just Poonam, those who have good voice get eliminated.. I’m not against Asma.. she is funny, innocent, but this is not a stage for entertainment.. Its a platform to find true talent… and I wont be surprised if Zee and the public may get Vaishali eliminated and even if Asma comes to Top 5.. she is just getting too much popularity and Zee I dont know why is hyping about Asma so much.. I pray for Vaishali to get to the TOP.. she is indeed amazing and deserving.
Vaishali is undoubtly the best singer for saregamapa.
Her voice is most melodious, mature and sublime. She is one of the most finest singer. Her facial expression of simplicity, humility and love brings out the beauty of Raag. Vaishali will certainly be the first runner up. Good luck and Blessings to you.
Vaishali One of the best voice in saregamapa. Her voice is most very melodious and heart touching
Viashali’s melodious voice touches the heart of million of peoples’. She has got an essence of singing & blessed by Ma saraswati. Her voice is so unique that it keeps on whispering 24/7 in our ears. her simplicity and good heart makes her song more sweet and beautiful. Specially the last episode song composed by Pritam ji.

Looking at Vaishali’s struggle she has done a lot of hardwork and has always tried to maitain positive approach. That is what reflects in her singning. I think all of you will agree with me on this. We all should vote for her to listen to more n more melodious songs from her.
