This Week On Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Lil Champs -December 7, 2007

Episode 15 December 7, 2007

This episode was rocked by the original superstar, Usha Uthup. When introduced she sang a song dedicated to and tailor made for the Indian Cricket team, Dil Se Shout India. She thoroughly enjoyed watching the kids perform and was especially pleased when some of them sang her songs. She said goodbye to one and all in her signature style, singing one of her all time favourites, Shaan Se for Lil Champs. Aamir Hafiz floored the judges and the audience with his rendition of Yamma Yamma while Anamika Chaudhury came in with Jhoom Jhoom Jhoom Baba, which received some criticism from Sonuji regarding her carelessness. Loria Doshi’s performance of Rabba Ho was more of a dance one than a vocal, according to Suresh Wadkar. Rohanpreet’s ‘Mehbooba’ was impressive, though, according to Sonuji it could have been even better given his potential. Rohit Shyam Rao’s Aa Dekhe Zara and Tanmay Chaturvedi’s Yeh Din Toh Aate Hai were the most appreciated performances of the evening. Smita Nandi was pulled up for her scale selection in Hari Om Hari. Sonuji lauded Vasundhara Raturi’s effort at singing Ushaji’s song in front of her, Koi Yahan Nache as it takes some courage to do that. Vibhore Parashar’s performance of Dil Lena Khel Hai was very entertaining and gave Sonuji some opportunity to tease him about it. A fun-filled episode made even more fun by the presence of Usha Uthup and the kids’ rocking performances.
