Door Na Ja ( cover version ) from Jannat

Satyajit Sahu said

Meera,
very cool. I like this song. Pritam is the king of rock ballads, no matter where he has lifted it from.
And it also features one of my fav instrumentalists, Niladri Kumar on Zitar.
The pitch of the song is suitable for male vox, so I feel its little too low for you. Though you have given it a nice shade by adding the octave harmony.
Great stuff.

Much has been written about Pritam, so I won’t go into details. But I have a love-hate relationship with his music. He is a great arranger, gives a very different rock flavored feel to otherwise very unlistenable track from some part of the world. Though plagiarism is never condoned….

(and yeah, I am listening thru headphones)

Subbu said

That was awesome and a very different type of cover from you….I dont know the original……nor can understand Hindi…….But I connected with your rendition……imagined an inebriated lady singing and dancing to this tune with wine glasses in her hand……enjoyed…….loved your modulations @4:59 awesome enjoyed it

Well…let’s give Pritam some credit for adopting rock ballad for Hindi numbers. He gave some real good numbers in movies like Metro and Gangster and then never looked back. No wonders, he may not be original always but is amongst most popular composers in Bollywood today.
Coming to your rendition……simply superb in terms of singing, feel, expressions and voice modulations. It’s looking like an original now as a female version. 5/5.

Meera not familiar with the original ….but I really enjoyed this rendition for the expressions. Some places your vocals were a bit drowned in the music ….but other than that this was really very well done !!

5/5 from me.

Meera, Not a fan of Pritam, but just loved this song very much. You were superb in your modulations and voice control, and great expressions too. The best part I liked was your singing in lower ranges-that was awesome!
I feel this is one of the best of all your postings here.
Keep singing!

Sounded meditative and sublime to my ears. Good job with the singing and harmonies Meera!. On the downside I felt that the singing energy of the distorted guitar was a bit out of sync with your voice … I think it would more match a higher pitched emotional vocal performance.

Good innovative job nevertheless and kudos to your ideas!. :-)

Rahul (getting back to routine) said

Hi Meera, Ur voice sounded too sweet for this one:), Well, I could not connect with the song somehow. IMHO, the song pick was a complete mismatch for you. I just love this song and completely agree with Satyajit. The range of the original was not completely justified in your cover and sounded DULL. Its not your fault as the original song was made differently. For me, this one did not work barring all the good singing. But well, I would appreciate ur effort. Keep going:)

I will rate this one as a 4/5. One more thing, can you pass along the track to me on “ajrockaj@gmail.com”

Regards,
Rahul

Nitin Dubey said

Awesome. Not only are you gifted, Meera, I think you have put in a lot of hard work into your singing, something people usually don’t realize.

This was great. 5/5.

Cheers

good meera.keep it up.

George Kuruvilla said

Meera,
Not a fan of the song as such. Your voice sounds a lot richer/fuller in the lower end of your range. Very interesting discovery for me. I think you should do more songs in this range. Like Nitin mentioned, it is very clear that you have put in a lot of effort into this and that shows your passion. Loved your expressions, stress on words and most (not all) of your harmonies . Very nice mix too. Excellent overall! 5/5

Shampak Chakravorty said

Correctly said Nitin…. One of the most hardworking Singers I have seen…. Meera wonderful singing & total presentation…. Though I didnot like the chorus effect in most of the parts…. it took away the clarity of the vocals…. Harmonies were fab…. I like Pritam’s approach of composition…. He brought a new genre to Bollywood n its the key to his success…. I don know whether it was a vocal cut track or not but it lacked the punched…. a lil tweak with the track may have been done aswell…. 5/5 from me….

Regards,
Shampak.

Meera – havent heard this song before and couldnt connect much with the song myself. But thought your singing to be very good and i felt that this range brings out a much richer feel to your voice. Good job at the expressions too, Meera. 5 from me.

PS: A suggestion, though i have no clue how the original is – the first mein at ~0:47 will sound better on this song if sung close mouthed, IMO.

Meera:
Haven’t heard the original but enjoyed listening to this different rendition of yours. Please try Bombay Jayashree’s songs (if you haven’t already sung those) since you sounded so good in the lower range.

Adithi said

Meera
I have to say that as a song, it didn’t impress me much. But your rendition certainly did! Loved the harmonies! :)

Vishak Subramoney said

Meera – have never heard the original. Although you sung the song well, I dont think this was a song that really suits ur style of singing……but full marks for trying something different. There was nothing special in the song which would allow u to showcase ur talents and so it was very plain. I wouldnt become a fan of Pritam based on this song as well….lol
Looking forward to hearing tougher songs from u!

Bodhisattva Dasgupta said

Great Attempt, meera…. sounded very different and fresh…. and yes, you are right…. awesome song… :)

meera this was a very boring song lol and you did try your best to showcase it and help the music director, but must say that it did not impress me at all. even the greatest of singers cannot rescue a bad composition this is no exception either.you being a terrific singer should also know what is good for you.

that was beautiful meera, very different attempt from you. yet to listen to the original….wonder how it skipped from the list.

Meera,
Song was a bit boring but I liked your low range in this song, similar to Mar Jaawan. Expressions were very good. Liked your improvisations but felt that some harmonies did not gel well.

Murali Venkatraman said

Pritam – the copy Maestro. Right from the song that he is most famous for (aami je tomaar) has been lifted from other songs (aami je jolsha gore).

Could not connect to the song at any level at all. And for some reason I was wondering if the pitching was correct right from the start. May be some weird guitar chords and some unconventional harmony parts and my tired ears…

Anyway I see some good improvement in your pronunciation. I will wait for another upload of yourself where I can feel more involved.

I liked this rendition considering your dedication on trying out this number. But, honestly…. I liked your Thillana songs more than this!

I didn’t like the composition. Particularly, those drum rolls are very quite funny!
