14th May, 2010 - Episode 29 - Top 25 Females (Elimination Round)

Hi,

You must have watched yesterday's (14th May 2010) episode of Voice of Teen. Well well, if you haven't I have just prepared a comprehensive summary of what happened yesterday.

Yesterday's episode was the first elimination round for Top 25 contestants where it was set up to eliminate 3 contestants out of 13 Female Contestants selected to be at the 25 toppers list.

Yesterday's episode was honored by Rima Gurung as a guest judge. Her presence was itself special, and I must say, she just made the episode even more special with her Rocking Performance with one of the contestants. Hmm! desperate to know hah! , no worries .. just go through everything has been revealed one by one.




What happened every minute ?



As usual yesterday's episode had Rubina and Bezay as hosts. These guys are doing great on every milestone of episodes VOT airs every week. And as said earlier, Rima Gurung was as a guest judge for the Jury Panel, together with the regular judges Devika Bandana and Ram Krishna Dhakal. Judge, senior Musician, Raju Singh wasn't able to attend due to his personal engagements on his own matters.

Next, VOT started a new scoring system to evaluate the contestants. A roller with points was given to each Judge, which had numbers from 5 to 10. Score from two judges were shown and the score from third judge was hidden so as to tally out the final points at the end.

First contestant Rosy Hingmang from Birtamod was up with Thaha payen dobatoma. She seemed to have problems with her throat, and judges accepted that in consideration to her previous performances. Rima agreed her to have amazing talent was of no doubt to mark her with 8 points. And as marked, the man of disputes (hmm ! well we don't agree but, he admits himself, that sometimes), awards Rosy with 8 + 1 = 9 points.

After Rosy was Sanjita Chaulagain from Hetauda with Sadhana Sargam's Chithi aayena. Rima marked her, - 'Ramro thiyo tapaiko performance' and awarded with 9 points. Wow.

Jonila Tamang from Birtamod stood up with Kina Kina by Bishnu Chemjong and scored 8 from Rima, and yet another 8 from Devika. Shritsti Hingmang, another teen again from Birtamod and sister of Rosy(the first contestant of yesterday's episode), was up with Sanjivani's Aankhama aaune tasbir timro. And guess what, she did more than the singing. She was acting, dancing and expressing with the emotions of the song. Rima appreciated everything done by her. She adjectived - "Mind Blowing Facial Expressions", but complained on her starting of singing to be "Gandagol" . But Rima didn't forget to appreciate Shristi's interlude. And with loads of compliments the Birtamod Lady, Shristi got 9 from Rima, and 8 from Devika. I must not miss the words from Ram Krishna Dhakal. Just when, the song was tripped while Shristi was singing, he seemed little disapointed with technicians. This was one of the biggest complements of yesterday's show.

Aakashya Basyal from Butwal, was with Asha Bhosle's Sawane Jhari. The sweet little lady grabbed 8 from Rima and as 8 + 1 = 9 from Ram Krishna Dhakal. Megha Shrestha, the pretty looking diva was up with Pal Pal by Prashna Shakya. Devika was up with 8, Rima was up with 8 too where she didnt forget to remark Megha having very wonderful voice and a bright future. But, Ram Krishna stood up quite different. He remarked the performance of Megha as - "aajako tetti jamna sakena ... ". He must be expecting even more better than previous episodes.

Shobha Kafle - Katai napai - scored 8 from Rima and and same from Ram Krishna. Gunjan Soni (Kathmandu) was with Sashi Rawal's Chahana Sakiyo. This was now a different opinion from Rima. She seemed to be willing to make no comments on Gunjan's performance. Even though she got up with 8 points for Gunjan, her comment was - "It was good, it was well tried. This is my favorite song. It was good, but let me not comment more. You may not feel good .." And this was a big twist. And Devika was totally dissapointed, with 7.

Specials (Samta Rai and Anubhuti Gurung)



Samta Rai, from Dharan was up with Rima's song Lagide Lagide. and guess what, Rima says - 'well tried'. And it turned up to be the most remarkable moment in the whole show. Guess what, Samta hadn't listened to the song before. It was given to her by the VOT administration and she had decided to accept it. She used to be in India and had just returned to Nepal few years back. Rima stood up, held the microphone and started to rock the stage with the same song. Wow wow wow, it was the most entertaining moment of the whole night.



Then it was Anubhuti Gurung, with Sheetal/Subani's Farkena Mallai. Rima's favorite and and same of Devika's. Guess what ? They both listened the song first time together while they were somewhere. And Anubhuti turned out to be the best performer of the night. She scored 10 from Rima and yet another 10 from Devika. With her flawless singing, and damn good looking, innocent smile, she won everyone's heart and yes Anubhuti became the best performer.


And finally, Bina was up with Ciney Gurung's Mero Pyaro Manche Timi. Rima's words were, ' It was simple and sweet' and she gave her 9 points, and 8 was from Ram Krishna.

Elimination

And with this the night reached the point of elimination. From among the bottom 6 contestants, 3 were to be eliminated. Manprit Lamsal was contestant on top 25, but she could not participate on the yesterday's show. Because of the reason, she was declared to be eliminated before the elimination was actually stared.

And, hence two more were to be selected. Initial tally of points showed Gunjan Soni and Bina Rai to be eliminated. Gunjan accepted the decision, and was feeling bad to be away of the show. She remembered her moments being with VOT. It was clearly seen that it was harder to accept but she appeared disciplined on the jury's decision.

However, Bina seemed to be quite upset. She worded her elimination to be quite unpredicted. Just after that when Ram Krishna Dhakal gave comments on Bina's dissatisfaction as herself being in parallel score with Megha, Bina argued even more on Megha being able to sing pop and fast track songs only. And Ram Krishna Dhakal at once spoke to take back the elimination decision of Bina Rai.

However, Rima seemed to be very upset with the attitude and the controversies & arguments at the final decision. She appreciated Gunjan's discipline and self respect, and seemed to be very against Bina. Even though she didn't express the name "Bina", she appreciated Megha and complemented Megha to have a bright future. Bina had quite harsh words at the end "Megha mero saathi bhaye pani aajako lagi mero dushman ho", and this must be what was very bad to be felt by Rima.

And with mixed emotions and sentiments, the first elimination round of female contestants among Top 25 , Voice of Teen Season 1 was wrapped up.

Next week will be the elimination with the Boys in Top 25 list.

Catch you again.
Voice of Teen.
