Rock fever Grips Star Voice of India...

The Rock fever empowers Amul Star Voice of India this Saturday as the ‘Rock On’ team –Farhaan Akhtar and Purab Kohli grace the ‘Scoring Saturday’s’ performance round on the show.

The high tension episode on Friday where Ismail walked out after a shocking elimination on the show encouraged Shaan to ask him what went wrong and why the public is reacting this way. Ismail with no explanation requested the public to listen to the kids with their hearts and not with their minds.

With Farhaan and Purab talking about the film Rock On, Shaan introduced the theme for the episode as ROCK MUSIC. All the contestants had prepared Rock songs to impress the judges. The first contestant to present his claim to TOP 9 was Ryan Dias, the Voice of Andhra Pradesh who sang Rishtey. Farhan thought that this was a fantastic performance and said that Ryan held the promise of lasting for long in the show. Purab really liked Ryan’s performance and his hairstyle too! Sukhi felt that Ryan delivered more than what was expected. With an incredible headstart, the stage saw each performance being far superior than the previous one as Saptaparna the Voice of 7 sister states, sang Johnny Gaddar.

Just before Zakir’s performance there was tension as Ismail Received a note from Zakir’s family. Ismail said that Zakir’s family was trying to bribe him. He handed a letter to Shaan. Shaan read it out and it turned out that Zakir’s son had written a letter to Ismail asking him to make his father the Voice of India so that Zakir could buy him a cycle. An emotional and apologetic Ismail promised to buy his son a cycle. Zakir said that he was really sad because he couldn’t run behind the cycle because of his disability.

Zakir Hussain the Voice of Chattisgarh sang Aaja aaja main hoon Pyar tera and received a standing ovation from the audience; Monty told him that there was no need to worry as Zakir was flying thanks to his brilliant singing.

Ritisha, the voice of Bangalore mesmerized audience with his rendition of Gustakhiyaan hai, She also requested Farhan to sing his titkle track from Rock On for them. A very sporting Farhaan just reeled the song with much ease and rocked the Amul Star Voice of India Stage. Purab also joined in with the famous ‘ROCK ON’ number.

Ravi, the Voice of Delhi performed on AAp ki Dua, Sayantani, the voice from Orrisa sang Dum Maro Dum, Rohit, the voice of 7 sister states got the crowd to groove with O meri Jaan, Vinti, the voice of Uttar Pradesh impressed the judges and Farhan with her recital of Mast, Rahul Mukherjee from Maharashtra sang Alvida and Vipul, the voice of Punjab gave a mind-blowing performance from Farhan’s movie Dil Chahta Hai. Purab told Vipul that "Last ball par sixer maare to bahut accha lagta hai...par agar sixer maarne waala Punjab se ho to ball stadium se bahar chali jaayegi"

This high energy episode ended with the participants, Farhan, Purab and Shaan singing Rock On! To catch this exciting episode, tune-in to Amul Star Voice of India Mega music league on Saturday, August 23rd, 10 pm only on Star Plus.

Bemisaal Barah go patriotic in Voice of India...

‘Independence’ is the flavor of the week as we head towards the 61st anniversary of our Independence. Amul Star Voice of India dedicates this Friday episode to celebrate the Spirit of patriotism and Freedom by reinforcing your right to all good things in life like ‘music’ and right to vote for your favorite contestants on the show. Yes, the journey to unparallel success, fame and stardom begins for the Bemisaal Barah this Independence Day as the Indian junta exercise their right to vote and propel their favorite voice to TOP 11 on Amul Star Voice of India.

All the judges, Host-Shaan and the kids looked worth million-dollar in their white costumes specially designed for the Independence Day. Sukhwinder Singh and the Bemisaal barah set the mood for the evening with Aye Mere watan ke logon, Chak De India and Jana Gana Mana medley. This strong and powerful performance aroused emotions, passion and the feeling of patriotism in all the contestants which was apparent in the performance that took place thereafter.

Rohit Sonar from Seven sister states forced everybody to think of how much do we thank this motherland with his song Vande Mataram. Sayantani from Orrissa sang O palanhare praying for peace and harmony of this nation. Ryan from Andhra Pradesh poured out his heart with Yeh Jo des Hai tera. Vinti from Uttar Pradesh dedicated her performance to kids, the strength & hope of this country with Taare zameen Par.

Mallar from Kolkata impressed everybody with his zealous Zindagi Maut na ban jaye while Zakir from Chhattisgarh made the crowd dance with Watan Pe jo Fida hoga. This battery of Patriotic songs continued with Rahul chanting Mera Rang De Basanti chola, Ravi singing Roobaroo. Saptaparna(seven sister state) and Punjab da puttar-Vipul’s Lukka Chuppi gave goose bumps to everybody witness to their soulful rendition. Also Ritisha from bangalore and Shraddha from Jharkhand gave a rocking performance with Badal Pe Pao hai.

This patriotism that filled the air of the sets rubbed on an otherwise shy Shaan who performed on Yeh Des Hai Veer jawan Ka, Phir Bi Dil Hai Hindustani and really made everybody forget about the sour part of the episode. Yes, It is a freaky Friday where one state will bid a final adieu to the Amul Star Voice of India stage; the first elimination for the Bemisaal barah. One person's dreams will not see the light of the day on this episode of Amul Star Voice of India while the other 11 will move forward to achieve their goals. Who will it be? Which state will disqualify to become the Voice of the nation?

Sukhwinder Singh - Judge3

Sukhwinder Singh

Date of Birth - 18th July

Star Sign - Cancer

First Big Hit - Chhaiyya Chhaiyya (Dil Se)

A voice that exudes mitti ki khushboo, a voice that throbs with pain, a voice that echoes in your heart long after the song is over. Be it the love-struck Chhaiyya Chhaiyya, the powerfilled Omkara, the spoofy Dil Dance Maare, the mischievous Hai Hai Mirchi, the heartbroken Dard-e-Disco, the festive Kawa Kawa, inspiring Mitwa, Sukhwinder Singh has enchanted every Indian with his vibrant voice.

Sukhi, as he is fondly called, performed on stage for the first time when he was 7 years old. He went on to release the album Munda Southhall Da with T.Singh and later joined Laxmikant-Pyarelal's troupe. He soon became a music arranger and moved on to the South to compose for a couple of films. Sukhwinder traveled to Europe & America to learn different forms of music. His return to India threw an opportunity to be the voice of the reigning hero of the 90s, Shah Rukh Khan with the song Chhaiyya Chhaiyya.

Today, with popular albums behind him, Sukhwinder has moved to music composition too. He has composed music for Subhash Ghai's Black and White. He is also working extensively with Rehman.

First Break - Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam

Ismail Darbar, the music composer, glided into the industry with his rich compositions in Bhansali's Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. This won him the National Award & Filmfare's R.D.Burman Award for Best Musical Debut in 1999. Then followed Devdas which made history.

Be it Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan, Tadap Tadap, Bairi Piya, Woh Kisna Hai, Aye Chaand or Maar Daala, the essence of Darbar's music lies in the melody, obviously, but also in its dignity. Hailing from a family of four generations of music, this comes as no surprise. Darbar mastered the Violin and played for legendary composers like Naushad, Laxmikant Pyarelal, Kalyanji Anandji, Bappi Lahiri, Rajesh Roshan, Anand-Milind, Nadeem-Shravan, Jatin-Lalit and even A.R.Rahman.

Lady luck shined on Darbar when he met director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. With the director's keen ear for music, the result was sheer magic! Filmgoers were astonished by the exemplary quality, melody and originality of the musical score.

Darbar has composed for films like Kisna, Tera Jaadoo Chal Gaya, Shakti, Deewangi and is currently working for some high-profile banners.
