Baby got bad back: Weak 4, KroaKing

Due to a sudden and inexplicable pain in my back, I am incapable of writing a long review of last night. (Stop counting your blessings, please, that is just so insulting.)

Here’s the short version.

Twenty-odd people sang. There were some highlights. Barry, you never cease to amaze me. Come into these arms of mine. Ramya, you were brilliant with that Alicia Keys song. Divya, I loved your rendition of Long Train Running. Laryngitis or no laryngitis, your voice stands out. In sickness and in health. Kurien, Mustang Sally was…interesting. I just didn’t get the feeling that you were singing it in your own voice. This happens to a lot of us a lot of the time. The trick is getting over it. Sing a song and make it your own. Will look forward to seeing you back. Saurabh, it was great to have you back and singing after so long. We hope we’ll be seeing more of you in these parts. Nina, Orange Coloured Sky was, as usual, outstanding. The matrimonial offer is still open. Thomas, that version of Gimme One Reason had a lot of…gusto. Can we have you back and competing next week, please? We had fun.

Here are the three who qualified yesterday:
Ramya
Divya Joseph (DJ)
Nina

Twelve spots, filled:
1. Jacob Ninan
2. Tania Jones
3. Keerthana Mohan
4. Mark Lazaro
5. Pratik
6. Jude Lazaro
7. Andy
8. Jerusha
9. Venkat
10. Ramya
11. DJ
12. Nina

And twelve more to go. If you think you can’t sing, think again. Or find out for sure.
KroaKing, Season 2, every Wednesday night, Opus.

I’ll be, err, back.

Looks like it was clearly ladies' night - at least when it came to the results.

What did Saurabh sing?

How do I find out if a song is in Opus's database?

im sorry i couldnt reply to this earlier because in was in bombay yesterday 'singing' (and making lots of money) for an international delegation or over 600 people .. that had performers that included sanober kabir, isha srhravani, dancers from goa and kerala and hosted by tom alter ...
maybe its my hairdos that people like!
and it will be nice to see who and where this anonymousity ( mouse being the operative word ) is coming from

Anonymous: You're completely entitled to your opinion, y'know. Once a performer goes up on stage, s/he immediately opens himself/herself for criticism. (Constructive would be appreciated, though!)

But please, leave a name. So that next time we wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night, thinking about how you've been wronged by us, we don't have to think about you as a mouse with no name. [:)]
