The 13th Aug episode was such a let-down with below average performances. Except sajda sisters and Seema no one rocked the show. The song selections were not good; nirmitee grp in trying to innovate invariably end up creating cacaphony; deewana grp was boring and geet - the less said the better - we still see him on this platform due to some fluke or luck!
They should have stuck to the theme of patriotism and given us two songs each. Even with 5 finalists , why arent they being asked to sing 2 songs now? And Sonu should hv rendered one of his gems from Border or LOC Kargil - ek saathi aur bhi tha or mere dushman mere bhai - fantastic numbers that can move you to tears!!
I think Nirmitee and Deewana group suffered from poor song choices. The songs they sang are not standard group performance songs and people don't identify with them. I was really going W*F? when Nirmitee started singing. They should just have stuck to patriotic songs genre.
Also, Seema started poorly but no one commented on that. She picked up better towards the end.
