Episode 5 was all about patriotism, but I only felt it from
two bands Xarb and Bayaan, rest were just not Mili Naghma material. My mind
simply fails to comprehend why Judges love Tamasha, no doubt Tamasha’s
musicians have a class but their vocalist has terrible accent to his singing. His
vocal technique and animation works superbly sometimes like it did in Roshni
and Sajna but for “Is parcham kay say talay” failed miserably along with the
composition. Tamasha’s only plus point is how well their musicians play but
without impressive vocals I don’t see much future for them at least in my play
list.
My top 3 from the night are:
Yeh Watan by Bayaan:
Finally, a song where we can enjoy the voice quality of the
vocalist, also the whole composition was very well thought through. I believe
Bayan was the only band that seemed to have worked on the composition to bring
something new while keeping the original patriotic feelings intact.
Sohni Dharti by Xarb:
Xarb was sent to bottom two knockout round for the first time,
which was unjust in my opinion. They decided to cover “Sohni Dharti” which is
every Pakistanis all-time favorite song and to do justice to this one is very
hard. But Xarb did it, I loved how they used their second vocalist and created
an environment using different layers of voice qualities they have in the band.
Yet another soulful song with the feel intact and the ghunghroo play was
pleasing too in this one. I also found out that they had only 20 minutes to
prepare this one so considering this, it was amazingly genius.
Tu Hai Kahan by Pindi Boys:
Pindi boys along with all the lead vocalist of participating
bands opened the episode with Tu Hai Kahan and it couldn’t be any perfect. Every
vocalist was used to their potential and song was shared among all the singer
very well. I even enjoyed Tamasha’s vocalist which is a rare thing.
Elimination:
Even though there wasn’t any elimination, Judges still let
the bottom two go in to knockout round. But Judges to pick Tamasha over Xarb
literally annoyed me. I really started to wonder after a Himesh Reshamya type
vocal performance how came they select Tamasha over soulful melody of Saeen
Ghunghroo. But anyway, I am glad it went that way otherwise we wouldn’t have
gotten a gem like “Sohni Dharti”. I really wanted to be fair with Tamasha,
so I checked comments on their YouTube upload on Pepsi Pakistan account to validate my thoughts and
comments from general public assured that I am not alone in my feelings toward
Tamasha. Some of the comments were really funny, so decided to share here:
