AIRTEL SUPER SINGER 4 - FINALISTS

The competition is now reaching very interesting level and we have only last eleven contestants.  They are all very good singers and have given some incredible performances in the past.  There are some hot favourites and everybody has high expectations on some of the contestants.

My prediction of the last five who will be seen in the Finals are as follows:

1. Soniya:

 She is a very versatile singer and has given some incredible performances in the past.  How can one forget the "Azhaghu malar Aada" which she performed so well that too in the presence of the great legend S.Janaki:


2. Parvathy:

She is a very good singer.  She has a great voice and does not move an inch while singing.  This is a great quality exhibited by P.Suseela, S.Janaki and Vani Jayaram.  She did very well when she sang "Paadu Nilave" in the presence of S.Janaki.
3. Sharath Santhosh:
  
Though his mother tongue is Telugu he has been doing a fantastic job.  He is the most consistent performer.  The way he sang "Enakkoru Kadhali" was really good.  I missed watching the episode and my relative Mrs.Chitra Aravind wrote to me to check whether I liked the rendition and immediately I looked up to Youtube and watched this performance.


4. Diwakar:
 
Diwakar has a unique voice and is a great performer on stage.  His presence on the stage and engagement with audience is extremely professional.  I watched the "Siva Sambo" performance on 31st October 2013 and was stunned.  Watch this extraordinary performance by Diwakar and I think mainly due to the orchestra with Stephen and Thomas:



5. Sai Vignesh:

He will the youngest contender among the finalists.  He sings very well as he has classical music knowledge which is a huge plus point for him.  I watched his performance of "Marudamalai Maamaniye" the great song which will live for ever and so very well sung by the great legend Madurai Somu:



The chances are very high for Sonia to ultimately get the winner's crown as "Super Singer 4" but you never know how things could change in the finals.

This is a very good entertainment and at the same time a huge inspiration to all youngsters.  We have the evergreen Algates Alagesan who comes every now and then to enthrall the auidence with his typical style of rendering all the old songs of the great singer T.M.Soundararajan.  Apart from the youngsters who are performing well we also have 62 year old Alagesan who is a great inspiration for one and all.

WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY DIWALI.
