Saregamapa - final three

Bishakh - O maajhi re and Samandar mein nahake aur bhi namkeen ho gayi ho
Sugandha - Tappa - her classical is beautiful, pleasure to hear ... and switch to Piya tu, ab to aaja ... got the floor rocking :)
Kamal - More Piya - very nice, and I forget the fast song
Abhilasha - a triad of a carnatac song, Kismet se tum mile ho and a Lavni number ... all well done

Two duets - Abhilasha and Bishakh, then Kamal with Sugandha - Bol na halke halke.

Guys are definitely very average this year, girls are both better. Sugandha out - really? Or was that to make sure each gharana was left with one contestant? With this voting system, the reality shows have lost touch with reality.

Last day of competition, all contestants sang three songs each - disappointing episode, or maybe I just didn't like the choice of songs.
Bishakh - Tum Jo mil gaye ho - Mohd Rafi, and I don't like Mohd Rafi, I don't particularly like this song.
Second song - Koi haseena jab rooth jaati hai - Kishore Kumar - again, one of few kishore songs i don't particularly like very much, although Kishore Kr made it ok, didn't particularly like Bishakh's rendition.
Third song - Ek Haseena thi, ek deewana tha - better, I like the song, Bishakh was ok.

Abhilasha - Yeh dil tum bin lagta nahin, hum kya karen - again, not one of my favourite Lata numbers, so okay
Second - Hatooba - again, okay-okay, she could have chosen any number of peppy songs, why this one, Don't think she sang it very well. Would have preferred Hawa hawaai if she had to do a peppy number
Third - Chupke se lag jaa gale - Bunty aur Bubli - finally a song I like - she sang it well, I seem to remember Sumedha doing a better job though.

Kamal - Ankhiyan nu chain na aave - again, not a known song for me
Second - kaisa yeh pyaar hai allah allah - okay again
Third - Chhaiyya Chaiyya - difficult to go wrong with this song, it's such a great song. Abhilasha did excellent backing vocals. Kamal was okay, problem is that Sukhwinder is superlative, so it's very very difficult to match up to the original.

All in all, a disappointing episode. Now just up to the votes. Hope JDJ is better tonight.
