I have become so crazy that I started tracking this show online to see the results every week. More than watching the shows, I rush to see who are left for the finals every week. Getting a chance to sing in Yuvan’s music is a great gift but more than that – battling this competition and becoming the super singer is the biggest gift. Vijay Tv is simply rocking with this show! The rounds, the judges, the contestants and the songs is really entertaining every week M-T-W.

Everyone has their own favorite singer in the show and I have too. This is what I think of the 13…

1. Ajeesh – This little guy is really my favorite. I think he has been giving a consistent performance so far and his ‘Uyirum Neeyae’ song really touched our hearts. Unni was also touched and pleased to hear his song. His mom was really lucky to hear the son sing this for her.
2. Aruna – She sings well but I do not think she can pass more levels. She has got a husky voice which does not suit all songs. Her telegu song was good but not her ‘Oru Deivam thandha’. She has really shown a great improvement along the rounds.
3. Arvind - Bringing back this guy to the show is really worth it. As judges say he has been clean with his singing. Not sure how far he can travel.
4. Deepshika - Oh man! She has lovely singing. I feel like seeing a little S.Janaki esp when she sings without any pain on her face for any kind of song. Her drawback is the styles that she is capable of singing.  Without expressing the pain, she also becomes short of expressions in singing. Whatever be the case, I will admire her.
5. Ishwarya - Initially I did not like her much but now with the versatility that she shows, I think she has a good scope to be in until the finals. But on seeing her sister talking on the show, I was able to confirm oh this is the proud Iyengar family ! I think her sister came in Neeya Naana debate and was so proud while talking about her caste & family but she was completely defeated by the other side.
6. Prasanna - Again, its worth bringing him back to the show. He is doing an excellent job showing his versatility. But I don’t think he can travel along that far. His Lajavathiyae was the best – hope Jessie Gift watched his show.
7. Raginishree - She was my favorite initially but now I feel she again has her limitations. Her kind of singing might help Yuvan but will she be able to travel more? I doubt! Sometimes I feel she is little over-acting on the stage.
8. Ranjini – What a powerful voice! It is so sad to see her stand on the elimination stage. Her Karpura mulai was really so emotionally touching not only to her sister but also to many others. But will she qualify to be a Yuvan’s singer?
9. Ravi - A great consistent singing from him. I do not feel his voice being special but he has flawless singing. Delivers what the song demands. Definitely to be in the top 5.
10. Renu – She is the female couterpart of Ravi in terms of ranking. Lovely voice and creates the feel in others. Her limitation again could be her style of singing. She will remain as everybody’s favrorite.
11. Rohit – A lucky chap to be on the show. He was brought in while his troop-mate was being interviewed for Super singer.  He has got a charm in his voice which is definitely attractive. If he can prove consistency(since Vathikuchi pathikadhuda), he can be a Yuvan’s singer.
12. Santosh – A confident singer and a favorite to judges and also viewers. Not sure if he has a special voice. To hear him singing some of the songs so far, its really great.
13. Vijay Narayan – Mr. Adams did a great job in the other language round. Not because he sang an english song but as Mahalakshmi said – he lived the song. I was so worried when he sang Chutum Sudar vizhi as the song has very little scope to portray but he escaped from being eliminated. Hope he continues well going forward.

Thanks we didn’t miss to watch this yesterday or else there will be no need for this funny post. What if ICC comes forward to deal with this – saying the word ‘cricket’ suffixed to this game is not at all right! Its injustice to Cricket which is played ‘LIKE’ a national game in India

Anyway look at the pictures – it doesn’t look like played in an outdoor stadium and it looks like a basket ball court…yes there is a basket somewhere high & if you place the ball in it, you get 15 runs!!! There is really no need to run – all you need to do is to position your hit to the appropriate wall heights and you will gets 2’s 4’s 6’s

I was just reminded about my childhood cricket played in our backyard where we would lay rules like this & also – if the ball goes out of your house – you are out… one pitch catch is out… ball hits the ceiling(when you play in your garage) you are out…Its all seen in this cricket as well!!

Especially with the episode(yeah it looks like a mega-serial) that I saw yesterday, I should talk about the commentators. Their technical part was fine but the other part of it was just loose talks. Its the stars Vs a real cricket team and now you must have guessed one of the the commentator was an actor who was Mohanram.

In spite of the funny rules, it was nice to see Tinku & Balaji playing the game seriously. Harsha’s wicket-keeping was so pathetic(like his compering in Mastana – Mastana) and I think Balaji already blasted at him when he threw the ball to the incorrect side of the stumps for attempting a run-out.

Finally it was good that IDS Tigers(the real cricket team) won the match.

Yes, I love the dancing fever!!! I started watching this show since the season 2 that was held last year. We were so happy to see Tinku-Preethi titled and Venkat taking the car. But my favourite was Sri-Krithika in most of the rounds.

Now with the new jodis this year – the KKK artists are simply predominating the show. For that matter, I enjoy that TV serial Kanaa Kaanum Kaalagal(KKK) as well. Anyway my vote goes to Dinesh(Rocky) – Harita(Mintu) though I dint really vote on the website -:). Moreover I havent seen the second part of their dance as the US version of Vijay Tv lags by a week. My all time favourite was Hema(Raghavi) doing her part extremely well in most of the rounds. Kudos to Vijay TV for having grown to an international standard. Best wishes to Jodi No.1.
