Vocals solo- Eastern

By Debleena Chatterjee

Music knows no bounds, it is beyond any barrier that any language,
country or religion can provide. It is a way through which you can
reach people’s heart and which helps you to give vent to your
innermost feelings which are beyond words and description. Music and
songs are composed in such a way that makes you smile, feel happy,
shed tears or feel gloomy. Each and every feeling can be felt more
strongly when tried to be portrayed through “Sangeet”. This is a way
through which one can forget everything and lose themselves in the
rhythm of life. These were the exact feelings the audience and the
judges, Ms.Harini Nagarajan and Ms.Aishwarya Shankar, had, while
listening to the participants of vocals solo eastern competition. The
participants were judged on the basis of their voice quality, range,
tone, expression, stage presence and interaction with audience.
Participants were from SRM University Kattangulathur, MOP Vaishnava
College, Saveeta Medical College, D.G.Vaishnava College and Thanga
Vellu Engineering College. Janani, the participant from MOP Vaishnava
College was the one to bag the first position and Aishwarya Pratap
Singh of SRM University itself bagged the second position. These were
no doubt the best performances of the day. When both these
participants came on stage and gave their individual performances the
audience were left speechless and the judges were mesmerised at the
way they portrayed the true feelings of the songs. When Aishwarya’s
song got over, many had tears in their eyes and when Janani came down
from the stage every one present there wanted to congratulate her on
the spell bounding performance she gave. Two guys sang Chinese song
and even though they didn’t get any prize they enjoyed the whole
programme thoroughly. Thus this wonderful musical event came to an end
with an excellent performance from Ms. Aishwarya Shankar on a heart
touching bhajan.
