aah... thanks for this thread... well...I liked Anand very much..but he seems to be out of form more often than not .. I think it will be Farida all the way
I loved the SPB , Benny Dayal and Vairamuthu episodes very much... Benny Dayal's rendering of Omana penne was outstanding... any words to describe his performance will always fall short ... love his voice
Vairamuthu episode this season was the most outstanding. Every contestant had a great choice of song. Vairamuthu appreciated every contestant without any bias in his kavidhai Tamil. Favorite Contestants: Arjun Adapalli, of course, because he is Austin's pride and for his dedication. His renditions have been soulful and he's come a long way with his Tamil pronunciation putting in a lot of hard work. Fareeda for her professional like renditions. Her voice is mesmerizing especially when she sings those old numbers. Also, few other favorites in the list are Anand, Priya, Latha and Lakshmi.
I like top 5 along with Lakshmi, Priya and Latha. IMO, Anand is soulful, wonder how Fareeda would sound in latest melody hits. I too liked Vairamuthus episode. Without his wonderful poetic lines songs wouldn't stand out. Best voice I like is Siyaad. His rendition of Kallikaatil pirantha thaaye is Unforgettable
