@Sharnie Gujjar lol, are u so disturbed to acknowledge when someone tells it as indian part? Pakistan and bangladesh are countries born out of what was India for many centuries. There was no Pakistan or Bangladesh when Rags were invented. So no matter how much you hate India, stop being petty and accept what the truth is. Doesnt make you or your country small.
@@tanmoy20006 Mate, calm your ass down. He didn't say anything bad about India. He was just saying it was adopted by its other countries in South Asia as well. Don't get so upset.
Wooooow.... the Indian raga part complimented the meaning of the song so well... it took it to a different dimension altogether... feeling enchanted and enriched... Thank u Abi
There're many contestants with different cultural backgrounds in nowadays talent shows, but Abi is probably the only one who can fuse her own things with general pop music on the stage.
It's not that the judges didn't want to turn around, it's just that they didn't have the knowledge to deal with such a niche genre. Not even Sir Tom has any experience with Hindustani Classical music or ragas despite his prolific career. Abi vocal range and clever musicianship sadly went unnoticed :(
AndreVille Official I see, i wonder if that's the format of the show, then there isn't much point in a contestant performing because her chances are greatly reduced anyway. It seems a bit unfair to me.
+Chan totally agree with you here. I was taken back with the Hindustani Classical part. But I did recognize it. It needed to be structured better though.
That's good! How did you like it though? R u non-Indian? I'm always curious to know what British or American folk think of Indian music, ragas especially. Hindustani music usually doesn't blend well with other genres and it takes technical understanding of prosody, metre, time signature and years of vocal training to create a phonetically pleasant fusion the way Abi did. How do you feel she could have structured it better? I think she studied with a guru to execute the tricky melisma she did before flipping into her stratospheric upper register.
+Chan She's doing a 'brika' which is common to both Hindustani and Carnatic music, but it doesn't conform to either type strictly. It's just "Indian", for want of a better word.
What a glaring gap between the judges’ limited horizons and the singer’s richly innovational offering. A vivid example of cultural exclusion due to mainstream hegemony....and thus we perpetuate “the norm”
A whole lot of it is - say you have 5 words in a line, and you can spend hours on stage changing it more and more in live performances. But you need to have trained for years to get that
Why do they do that long and unnecessary bit of discussing the obvious fact it is amazing it drives me insane a lot of people have lost out because of their indecisiveness I find it very attention seeking like what the hell Jessie if you like her press the button that is the whole reason I stopped watching the voice.
that awkward moment when contestant is way better than stupid judges who don't have half the talent and they realize it in their heart but won't express it
I still come back to this even though it has been years! Absolutely love the Indian raga section. Music to my ears! It would be so lovely if she did an updated cover today so we can hear it fresh again! 😍
Now i get why people saying that the voice uk sucks, these judges need to clean their ears and know how to identify true talents. I swear if she audition anywhere else, she would at least get three chairs.
that alaap was dope ..but then she just went falsetto and to high notes but it would've been better if she mixed and went to head voice like So Hyang. ....fellow Indian
I dont think they didnt like her i think they thought she is in different area so they dont know what to teach her i mean a voice like this so original and so authentic can only make her own music you cant teach her too many things.
There is a youtube channel called Darbarfestival which showcases performances from the best professional indian classical performers out there, it has everything from instruments to vocals, and of both traditions: the north indian "Hindustani" (what abi followed here) and the south indian "carnatic".
