Wowwwwwww divine Rashmi Di,
Fantastic, just divine. Classical touch indeed makes this song in your voice a Hall of Fame song now :)
Wonderful rendition, it is not an easy song for sure to sing, though I am not into Hindi.
Listening to you I am inspired to sing Hindi :)
Take Care,
Keep the faith always,
Peace be with you,
God Bless You….

Ofcourse the rating given for you divine Di is 5/5 and it goes to my favourites.
Nayan Shah said
Awesome…. I m already a big fan of urs. Neglecting some minor flaws (of course it takes time to be Asha Bhonsleji, but u can get thr), it was just brilliant.
However, just one thing that I noticed is that the tempo of the song was slower than the original (dont know if tht was done on purpose).
I believe its one of the best composition of all times by Khayyamji. I believe that life mein sirf ek hi gaana compose karo, par karo toh aisa jaise ki yeh song and become immortal forever. :)
Liv music, luv people and like urself !!!!!!!!!

That rendition had a character to it and the soul was pervading all through the song.

Thanks a lot Meera and Nayan.
Nayan, the karaoke was a little slower than the original, so adjusted the rendition according to that.
Ranjit, I will surely look into those songs. Thanks for the suggestions.

Beautifully sung Rashmi. I think the lack of energy is because of the slow tempo. Ur singing was very good here. 5/5.

Rashmi ……beautifully sung ….nice expressions too ….The track is a bit slower, but since Rekha was doing Kathak in the original, she can still do it in this beats :-) …it doesnt take away the charm of the song.
5/5 from me ….very good recording/mixing as well.

Hey Rashmi,
Beautifully sung in your beautiful voice – just was missing the extra nakhra/punch that Asha usually adds to her ghazals. :-)
Harkats could be a little deeper. I think the tempo was fine – I was picturising Rekha with her sassy moves! ;-)
Great singing! 4.8/5?
-Sudha
Krishnan N v said
Excellent rendition of my very favourite ghazal of Ashaji…
You have done a brilliant job. By and large your expression and feel was good. I do agree about slight lack of energy…Also the harkat at “AAP ko”(second one in “Anjuman mein AAP ko” could have been more sharper…
Overall an enjoyable performance…
Keep them coming…

Surajit Chatterjee said
You know, Rashmi, I’ve heard lots of others sing this but, to date, yours is, by far the best. Goes to show how much I liked and enjoyed your rendition. Regarding the tempo….that can be changed anytime. Why don’t you try doing it and re-record. That way, no one will have any reason to complain. All the best. keep singing like this. God bless you my dear sister.
Shampak Chakravorty said
Hello Rashmi!!!
Just spelbound with this one….as I was with Thode Badmash…. Your voice in that song keeps on ringing in my ears…. I didnot find any issues with tempo & energy….may be due to the fact it is so so very well sung…. I don’t know why Surajit & Other people insist on re-recording…. Tempo can be increased or decreased only by Time streach option in Audition3 don’t know about other applications…… Awsome awsome singing…… 200/100…. Cannot judge it on just a mere 5 marks….
Regards,
Shampak.

Shampak Chakravorty said
Another plus point is that it is a Hindi song…. Otherwise mostly members here uploads songs in their regional languages n it goes over my head…. Becomes even difficult to get the singing coz I don’t know those songs…. Brilliant this one…. One more fav. from you…. You, Sri n Smitha besides George & Pradip from the males are mostly filling up my fav. lists…. Great job…. Keep it up….
Regards,
Shampak.

Hi Rashmi,
I am very familiar with this song as it is one of Roshan’s favorites. In fact I heard the original just yesterday… I will say that you have done a very good job… however I will agree with the folks above about nuances. Mixing also could have been better on this. Vocals should have been at a slightly lower level. It kinda sticks out right now.

Thanks again guyz for the great feedback. Yep, I agree the nuances could have been better. Asha Bhosle just keeps making it tougher and tougher to cover her songs! :-)
George, the karaoke track is not of a good quality and has some disturbance in it. So kept the vocals at a slightly higher level to cover that.

Rashmi- very, very beautiful. You’re really a talent :)
Some of the intricacies (“sangathis”) could have been more precise and strong. But I understand the k-track being slower affected the energy/ precision of your singing too.
Love your voice. Keep singing!

Rashmi – nicely done. Missed some of the nuances of the original, but then its not an easy song to cover :) Also ,the backing track took away some charm. LEt me know if you need a better track if you intend to redo this sometime. Loved your baar baar bits :).

Sorry for the late entry here. Your voice shines through nicely in this one. You have sung this beautifully. Especially enjoyed the starting alaap and initial lines before the tabla starts and the high pitch portions (Kahiye tho). Keep up the good work Rashmi.

This is one of the beautiful renditions which leaves an everlasting impression on any music lover !!!
My friends have indicated evry thing….so no room left for me to pointout !!! But i would say….an awesome singer and lover of poetry is visible to all of us !!! I want you to sing my renditions ….if you like…. It will be a great Honour to my poetry ,poems i write and compose myself and sing too….but my voice is not as beautiful as yours !!!!about 100 songs myself written and recorded and 1000’s of songs lying in diary….unrecorded because everyday i write 2-3 poems !!!
