Spoiler : JAN 2 nd.

Good news.. Good news..Good news !!!

Vaishali has finally received very well deserved Sangeet Chakra after a huge time gap and made her Rock gharana proud!
Congratulations and thank you to her fans , Himesh Reshammiya fans and all her supporters for making her position strong in TOP 3!
Earlier she was blessed with her first Sangeet Chakra after her superhit performance, 'Char dinonka pyar ho rabba, Lambi Judai' !
Vaishali fans expected her to win Sangeet chakra after 'Der na hojaye', 'Teri ore hay Rabba', 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram', 'Amir Khan special round' and recently after Past challenger's duet round too , but unfortunately Sangeet chakra kept rotating between Yashita-Pratibha-Zahir-Soumen !
But Vaishali has finally won the Sangeet Chakra once again by beating all her competitors .
One more unexpected result coming up on Friday, well..none other than Pratibha Singh Baghel of Lakshya gharana has been eliminated who was supposed to be the most popular and judge's favourite contestant.
Shankar Mahadevan, the most popular, highly respected and sensible judge-mentor 's gharana is now out of this challenge.
We all are going to miss Shankar Mahadevan for his accurate judgement , melodious singing and his soft corner for Vaishali !
SaReGaMaPa Challenge'09 competition started on July 4th and now finally they have got TOP 3 singers:
Vaishali (Rock Gharana)
Yashita (Dhoom Gharana)
Soumen (JAi ho Gharana)

Keep supporting Vaishali and make her the ultimate winner !

Gali me Aaj chand nikala..

Presenting yet another memorable flawless performance by Vaishali Made !!

'Gali me aaj chand nikla', The Alka Yagnik song ' , celebrates life ,The lady is happy that her lover is arriving and she finds the whole world celebrating with her.

MM Kreem’s beautiful composition is so full of energy - you suddenly start feeling happy about everything around you.

It begins with a soft and mellow note, and picks up speed and energy as it progresses and it ends with a shehanai piece showing sudden happiness arrived in a Lady's life.

Her feelings are very well conveyed by Alka Yagnik and I must say, Vaishali Made caught the right mood of the original song !

'Best performance of the show', according to the most respectable mentor, Shankar Mahadevan ji followed by all other mentors !

Vaishali's soulful singing touched everyone's heart , She definitely deserves Sangeet Chakra next week !

Next week is last elimination of this season, so let's keep our fingers crossed and pray for Vaishali..Enjoy the song !

Vaishali Made-Debojeet Dutta : Jile ishq me (You me aur Hum tum)

Vaishali proved it once again with her versatile singing that she is not just made for soft and sweet songs!

'Jile jile' song is Vaishal Bhardwaj's amazing composition which is based on Latin American style passioante dance music !

The song demands attitude, feel, sensuality, masti all in one !

Vaishali managed it all with her co singer , Debojeet Dutta.

Vaishali has performed duets so far with two famous 'Debojeets'!

Earlier it was Debojeet Saha on past challenger's round and here it is Debojeet Dutta, another promising singer of this contest.

Vaishali and Debojeet Dutta's voice qualities complimented each other's singing very well and both did full justice to this melodious song !

Vaishali understands the importance of keeping eye contact with her co singer while performing a duet song which no one else in this contest has shown so far!

Earlier Vaishali maintained good chemistry and eye contact with Shankar Mahadevan, Debojeet Saha and now with Debojeet Dutta, this is what professionalism is all about !

Her opponent mentor Adesh Shrivastava, looked quite impressed and happy with her versatile singing in this contest.

Watch and enjoy !

Vaishali's journey : Article by Ketki Kolhatkar

Ketki Kolhatkar, an aspiring singer and Vaishali fan is putting Vaishali's journey in her words.
Thanks Ketki.

Vaishali Made :

While at one end the bramhastra results disappointed with the entry of Non –deserving candidate over deserving ones, another entries gave a new boost to the show and the entrant was none other than our own Saregamapa Marathi winner-MAHAGAYIKA- Vaishali Made !
Since Vaishalis entry the competition had reached new level , and vaishali kept the promice she had made through her very first performance ‘ Nimbooda’ for which none of the mentors could stop themselves from giving her Highest marks ‘ HISTORY ‘
Vaishali had to face Bottom 3 in very forst week of the competition due to lack of votes but she gave a bewutiful best of the week performance on ‘ ishq bina ‘ in dat situation and since dat time never looked back .Next week the performance lead her to top 2 spot .she is the single participant who has not given any weak performance. Her performance on Jannat song ‘ lambi judai ‘ had brought all mentors on stage and it resulted in her winning the ‘ Sangeet Chakra’ (Highest votes) for the next week. But sadly this deserving would be winner is not given a deserving treatment on the show .Her certain memorable performances such as ‘ Der na ho jaye’ , ‘ teri ore’ , ‘ Rangeela re’ , ‘ Satyam shivam sundaram ‘ deserved standing ovation but din get one . On the other hands contestant like Asma is given history for her below average performances and other participants receive standing ovation by mentors for ordinary performances.
Vaishali has a very matured , sweet, soulful voice which would be an ideal for playback singer in bollywood which has been always mentoned by mentors but still it is really sad to see that she is not given enough support by her own mentor Himesh reshmiya who always promotes other gharana participant Yashita more than his own ACE Vaishali for unknown reason .
Vaishali is always supported more from other gharana mentor Singer/ MD Shankar mahadevan who has agiven applauds for vaishali since her SRGMP marathi days , wish she would hav been in shankars gharana , which was her own wish as well !

WHY VAISHALI RECEIVED SANGEET CHAKRA ONLY ONCE?

Despite of being the most consistent performer and the best voice on show , why vaishali received highest votes for only once , while other participants, yashita-pratibha-soumen-zaheer have received it twice/ thrice ?
The simple reasons for this are :
1) Vaishali is married and has three months old daughter , although channel used this to catch TRPs , certain narrow minded viewers still cant see a simple girl being topper !

2) She lacks support from her own mentor who has focused more on Yashita .

3)Last but not the least, she is only a GOOD SINGER, she doesn’t know how to do drama, how to make people laugh and all tactics !

WILL VAISHALI BE ABLE TO ENTER GRAND FINALE or THIS ‘’MUMBAI KOYAL’’ WOULD END UP BEING THIRD RUNNER UP OF VISHAWAYUDH?

Well friends for fans likeus she is already a winner but probably shes not in channels good books .

So lets all hope and Pray for VAISHALI , dats what we can do now , but as many say’ khuda ke ghar mein der haii andher nahi’’ we can still hope vaishali wud emerge a winner !
Last but not the least I wanna mention one thing , as many musical experts say , to be a number one female playback singer in Hindi or marathi film industry , a voice which has a trend like Mangeshkar sisters, Lata didi and asha tai is required, and in so many reality shows those hav came so far , after Shreya ghoshal I have found dat type of voice in only 2 particiapants, One is NIHIRA JOSHI from C-05 and another is VAISHALI MADE ! …so its in viewers hand to make this statement true !

Vaishali Made : Underrated singer of SaReGaMaPa??

Vaishali entered in SaReGaMaPa Challenge'09 as a regional winner wild card entry!
Since then, she has given most consistent and melodious performances every week.
She never had any weak performance.
She always received good comments from Mentors.
Shankar Mahadevan's recent comment was appreciable, "Vaishali, you always keep the standard of this show high”!
Vaishali matched with Shankar Mahadevan ji in duet performance.
She sounded as good as the original singer.
But unfortunately, I feel something is going wrong!
I am raising my views here, please feel free to share yourr views by commenting on this article.

1. Except "Lambi Judai", Vaishali never got strong encouragement from mentors which she deserved.
‘Der na ho jaye’ and ‘Satyam Shivan Sundaram’ performances were worth offering her a ‘Standing ovation’.
No offence meant for Debojeet, Pratibha and Yashita , But these 3 singers received standing ovation, strong encouragement from mentors so often for just average performances.
I feel sad for Vaishali for not getting much appreciation and support that she always deserved!
The only focus she gets is all about her personal life and sympathy!

2. Vaishali received Sangeet Chakra only once for ‘Lambi Judai’ performance.
She should have received it after ‘Der na ho jaye’, Satyam Shivam Sundaran and Amir Khan special episode too when she had performed much better than others!
She is getting public support from all over world and a Big voting support from Himesh Reshammiya fans.
Still my question remains same, “Why Vaishali is not getting ‘Desh ki dhadkan, Sangeet Chakra’ award?

3. I would like to see Himeshji getting more aggressive for Vaishali’s victory as he was for Vinit and Aneek.
Himeshji is blessed with a huge fan following and all his fans believe and trust his words.
Whenever he has done any vote appeals to his fans, they have always poured voted and made his singers top vote gainers!
I really wish Himeshji should start doing vote appeals for Vaishali since she is the only singer left in Rock Gharana.

4. She didn’t get history for “Zooth bole kauwa kate’ but Yashita got it for her average performance ‘Talli hogayi’ and Pratibha too received history for ‘Daiyya re daiyya mai kaha aa fasi’ which was not up to the mark !

5. Shankar Mahadevan and Vaishali’s duet was good but I was expecting Himesh ji and Vaishali’s duet on mentor special round since Himesh ji is her mentor and not Shankar Mahadevan!
That way Himeshji could have supported her more and she could have received more public support from Himesh Reshammiya’s huge fan following.

6. According to the recent spoilers, Debojeet is eliminated and Yashita has received the Sangeet Chakra.
Also, Soumen and Pratibha are going to catch more attention since the channel is promoting them by announcing ‘Real life couple’ on reality show!
I can see Vaishali is getting ignored and underrated when the Grand Finale is getting closer!
Eliminated singer, Asma is also getting too much of focus!
I really want channel to focus on Vaishali’s talent too!
If they continue to ignore Vaishali more, then next week is definitely going to be the final week for her.

Anyways, let’s all pray for the best and wish to see her in TOP 3!
Good luck Vaishali,
All your fans and their well wishes are with you !
You will go far ahead of this competition and do well in Indian Music industry!
You rock!

Vaishali's song in Kulvadhu

update from Deepali

Vaishali has sung a title track for a Marathi daily soap, ' KULVADHU', the most famous show of Zee Marathi at present. The title track in particular has become so famous that Vaishali can't stop receiving great feedbacks from big celebrities in Marathi music industry. KULVADHU serial has just started on Nov 17 th and already topped popularity charts because of big star cast and appealing story line.
The show will star some big names like Sadashiv Amrapurkar, Milind Gunaji, Sulbha Deshpande, Subodh Bhave , Nishigandha Wad, Purva Gokhale, Sai Ranade.

Those who want to listen to Vaishali's title song, please select 'KULVADHU' from mp3 listings and download the track from here,
http://www.zeemarathi.com/Downloads.aspx?zhid=26
Just listen to Vaishali and I am sure you want to listen again and again and again...!!
Amazing composition and such a wonderful singing by Vaishali !!
This is real class of Vaishali's flawless singing , unseen on SRGMP Ch'09..!!
Vaishali sounds like a well settled play backsinger already ..a big competition to Shreya. Keep going Vaishali, u rock !!

Statistics and Popularity

How popular is Vaishali? How popular is SRGMP 2009?

SRGMP 2009 seems to be nowhere as popular compared to SRGMP 2007. Even Harpreet and Junaid had more popularity than most contestants this year. How do we measure popularity?

Orkut fan club sizes: We see that later contestants like Vaishali and Soumen are struggling to set up their fan club sizes. While Pratibha and Asma have sizes in the range of 200-400 people, most others are even lesser. Vaishali's fan club size ranges in 50-100s, and Soumen being the unlucky one with merely 30 people.

Youtube video counts: Seems like Asma and debojit are more popular than others. But this s only marginally true.

In any case, the numbers look about 10 times less than what C2007 numbers were, at this stage. I don't know why? but may be one reason being random "themes" that are forced upon and apathetic song selections. They are trying to sing the same songs as everyone sings ...and there are no striking out performances. I would think if they select more old songs (than just these new songs which are repeatedly sung) the contestants will get a lot of room to show their specialities.

Now only good news for Vaishali is that, this blog brings together some loyal fans
for Vaishali and her popularity is only on the rise, day by day (see the image below). We have about close to 500 returning visitors on the site. This is more than any fan club for any other contestants (on orkut) at least. And what is better is that many of the visitors on this blog are choosing to follow the voting link.
I hope Zee considers some of her popularity figures. Things are getting crucial now, and I feel Vaishali is at the maximum risk of being eliminated.

Spoiler : November 14 & 15.

Vaishali is safe for yet another week !
No Eliminations this week, Congratulations Vaishali !!

Friday : Arabic theme songs.
This week Guest : Amir khan
Theme: Amir Khan songs .

As always Vaishali received bunch of hostories and appreciation by Mentors !

U ROCK Vaishali.. ROCK THE WORLD !!

Teri Aur ...hai rabba

Yet another flawless performance by Vaishali. Although she got one of the lesser popular songs, but here is where is her chance to give this song a new life and new popularity. Her version is definitely going to be remembered. She sang it with complete finesse and professionalism in her voice.

Also enjoy Kombdi palali. Unfortunately SRGMP doesn't have live orchestra to give support to these impromptu songs. I wonder why?

Thank you Arka !

Vaishali rocked on Salman Khan special Episode with 'Teri ore' and 'Kombadi Palali' !!

Palkhi main hoke sawar chali

Shhh! No comments! Just Listen!!!

Brief chit chat with Vaishali Made

Hellow friends,
We are happy to share yet another brief chit chat with Vaishali, very casual topics covered this time.
It was nice to know about Vaishali's hobbies, her thoughts and experience in Saregamapa.
Thanks to Vaishali once again , she was so patient to share her thoughts at 11:45 p.m.:)

So here is Vaishali Made sharing her choices, her thoughts with her fans !

Date of Birth:
21.08.1984

Favorite City:
Mumbai, the land of opportunities !

Favorite Actor:
Salman Khan (After meeting him lastweekJ)

Favorite Actress:
Rekha

Favorite time pass (other than music) :
Eating, watching TV and shopping!

Your Favorite Food:
Traditional Marathi delicacy, ‘Puranpoli’, served with Asli desi ghee.
Puran poli cooked in Vidarbhian style is yummier with lots of stuffed Puran and sugar.

Your Favorite Challenege 2007 contestants:
Raja Hassan and Mussarrat Abbas.

Your Favorite Challenege 2005 contestant:
Never got a chance to follow Challenge 05 season.

One song which you found hard to sing recently ?
It was Himeshji’s ‘Mahiya too’ song from Karzz.
Himeshji is blessed with unique high pitch voice quality.
It is very difficult to match his scale for a female singer even.
I tried this song using one octave down than the original but I was still not comfortable with high notes!
So finally I had to change my song for Karzz promotion round.

Your favorite song composed by Himesh Reshammiya:
Mai Jaha rahoon (Namastey London), Lagan lag gayi hai (Tere naam)

Best quality of Himeshji as a mentor:
His strong encouragement to his singers is just amazing.
Sometimes our performance is not up the mark on stage, but his positive attitude and encouraging words keeps us confident to perform better in next round!

You favorite mentor of Challenge o7;
I never watched mentor’s comments carefully, so I can’t comment.
But as a music director I love Ismail Darbar ji’s compositions a lot.

Your favorite Music Director( just one name please):
Madan Mohan ji.
Laxmikant Pyarelal (If you allow me to mention 2 names:))

For which actress you think your voice is perfect to offer playback?
I think my voice will suit Deepika Padukone very well.

Share your experience to perform in front of Salman khan.
Salman Khan is the sweetest, very down to earth, kind hearted celebrity I have even seen.
It was a pleasant surprise for me when he requested ‘Kombdi Palali’ ,a Marathi song for me to sing.
His mother liked my performance on Zee Marathi Saregamapa and she requested Salman Khan to mention that on show.
It was so sweet of him to dance on ‘Kombdi Palali’ and encouraging me.
Salman Khan memorized last season’s performances, singers and their names too.
He enquired about their career graphs, also offered help for all aspiring singers in Saregamapa.
He talked to every one in his own style which made us so comfortable.

Imagine yourself in TOP 3 of SaReGaMa Pa, what would be your choice of other 2 finalsits?
Debojeet and Shoumen.

And the woman takes away the title?
(Laughs,) I am trying my best, please pray for me.

Thank you Vaishali.
My pleasure!

Guest Article from Haribhau Vishwanath

For those familiar with music scene in Mumbai, Haribhau Vishwanath is one of the very well known names in hunting for musical instruments. Here, I am posting their e-mail. I have personally purchased electronic tanpura/tabla machine from them about 8 years ago.

First, we have to introduce ourself that we are one of the largest manufacturer,
dealer and exporter of the musical instruments since 1925.

We like very much the melodious and velvet sound of vaishali starts from sa re ga ma pa marathi. After winning the sa re ga ma pa marathi competition and got a award of " mahagayika ". One day she and her husband Mr. Anant Made walked in front of our shop. We called her immediately. She came to our shop. She was very happy to see all the musical instruments in our shop. She was in hurry to catch a bus to Pune. She went for the recording of music director "Salil Kulkarni". She told us when she will back from Pune she will definitely come to your shop.

After some days she came with her husband to our shop. She already purchased one electronic tanpura from us six to seven months back. But that time we did not know her. Afterwards, when she visited to our shop after coming back from pune. We gave her a real best quality female tanpura pitch black 4 and black 5. Vaishali 's pitch is black = 5. So we tune the tanpura and gave it to her . Also one electronic tabla, as a musical gift from us. This gift is for her perfect riyaz of classical singging. Her guru is also well known classical singer " Pandit Shri Ajay Pohankar". They are also well known to us.

She was very happy. She enjoying music in to our shop. She find many useful classical raagas books in our shop. And so whenever she come to our shop she said I am not come to your shop but I come to "a swar mandir of maa Saraswati".

Now she is just like my daughter, and so i always support her. She is also called me "dada" and my wife "Seema tai". She is just like our family member.

She is from a small village of maharashtra. I am personally proud of her and her struggleful life. We always pray to the god to bless her and make full of success in her musical carrier. Every musical event of "sa re ga ma pa challenge 2009 " friday and saturday we are giving the compliments to her. We discuss about her song of that day. We have 100% guarentee that she will win the award of mahagayika of sa re ga ma pa challenge 2009. Our support and blessing is always with her.

thanking you,
musically yours,
for haribhau vishwanath co.,

(Mr. Uday Diwane).

Vaishali Rocks!

Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting Vaishali Made!

Today she completely captured the show with her "der na ho jaye". I saw one technical coomment by Himesh today, "sur and suron ki shrutiyaan" ...Vaishali's song was not just sur-perfect ...but it was shruti enriched. Listen out for the lines "mar gayeeee hum khuli rahi aankhen...." there is so much dard in her shrutis. However, for the sake of perfection, I must mention that she went slightly off in her sargam in the beginning, but she finished that part with her Mind-blowing soprano throw on the higher parts.

Yet another good version of this song was done by Rithisha in SVOI today. However she is an Alto voice singer (just like poonam last year). Vaishali has a mezzo-soprano voice which does better justice to Lata's soprano voice songs. Rithisha also tried to capture the surs, but it looked more calculated on her part. BTW, in my opinion Rithisha is the best singer in SVOI, why she gets the lowest marks is a yet another story ...for some other time!



Vaishali's Der na ho jaye


Here is Rithisha's Version

Ek Pyar ka Nagma Hai

Vaishali sang Ek pyar ka nagma hai on friday. This is one of my favorite songs, a really heart touching one. Diwakar gave his song a beautiful touch in lilchamps 05.
This time Vaishali gave put her own personal feeling into this song. Some of the harkats like "kahaniiii" gave a really wavy-silky touch to the song. However, her throw for the end-notes like "hai" can be improved. Her run with consistent triple-histories is continuing!

Ek Pyar ka Nagma

This week's performances

Here are the two wonderful songs sung by Vaishali this week. Both her performances were triple - histories ! She completed her hatrick of histories and is now proving to be one of the most consistent performers. However, as I read the forum discussions, the fans are still expecting a lot more from her. This is still nothing like her real potential.

Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu : She gave wonderful expressions in this songs and carried the laheka very well. The scale was again a problem which made begining of antara little flat (too high for her)and I felt some of the extra harkats (like in main aur tu) could have been done without. Indeed Shankar rightly said that the expectations from Vaishali are very high (since usually she has one of the most perfect pitching).

Tum hi Dekho na: Again some wonderful harkats and variations in antara. Voice can be more consistent. Wonderful feel she put into it. Some vibratos and landing notes were coming in a little late. But overall this was a really amazing performance.

Tum Hi Dekho Na

Hellow Friends,
Our Vaishali' is safe and among top 3 contestants once again.
Congratulations Vaishali !

Her songs this week :

Friday theme : Golden old rocking songs
Vaishali sings : 'Mera nama chin chin chu"

Saturday: Light romantic songs
Vaishali sings : "Tum hi dekho na"

Both the songs are very well appreciated by mentors :).

Keep going Vaishali, Rock the World !!

Jane Kyun Log Pyar Karte hain

Vaishali Scored triple History again for the third time in the contest. I don't know how much to read into this. The performance was rocking. She had her own touches and some nice variations in places. Do check for yourself if Vaishali's voice goes well with bubbly actress like Priety Zinta or not. Here is the performance for you. Enjoy.

Jiya dhadak dhadak

Vaishali's Jiya Dhadak Dhadak Song is here. Today rather than her singing the focus of attention was on her life and hardships. They have known this is well tested formula with Poonam. Her performance was not her best. She had some range/breath problems towards the lower notes of the songs.

Her voice is still uniquely her own. We wish she soon delivers her kind of "real" history performance which will be remembered as a landmark sa re ga ma pa performance. Meanwhile, she remains the dark horse and probably lambi-race-ka-ghoda
who will shine as the competition progresses and show her true forte.

Man Saat Samandar: October 10th

Yet another song she was asked to sing in Punjabi Genre. And this time it is Sunidhi's song. Sunidhi's songs are by far the most difficult for reality show contestants to match to her level and live up to the expectations. I have never thought that Punjabi is the right genre for Vaishali, although she is not bad in this genre. She has the finesse in her voice texture and flowing harkats but not the power.

She was not given good scores today for the lack of energy. Nothing against this assessment. Today simply was not her day. She was feeling sick and she didn't even attend other people's performances. She had to go and lie down right after her performance.

Well it is anyone's guess what the right strategy for her song selection should be. But I hope they find it soon. Meanwhile this week is going to be the toughest for Vaishali. For one, since she was the topper this week, some of her voters are likely to be more complacent. Plus, since she didn't get very good comments this week, it is likely that she may not gather new voters. So please all the fans, just VOTE, VOTE, VOTE !

Zahida's Siggy for Vaishali

Lambi Judaai

Here is the video of Vaishali's October 3rd performance. Vaishali's versatility is being explored here. Her voice range is mezzo-soprano, which fits between alto and soprano voices. This week she sings Richa Sharma (alto) genre song. These songs require powerful lower pitch singing. Powerful or not, I don't know, but her voice quality was shining in this song. Towards the end there are wonderful aalaps and harkats. She was wonderfully delicate while taking her variation. We have seen many reality show singers in this genre: Poonam, Himani, Rithisha. Vaishali brings in her own uniqueness while singing this genre.

She got History, History, History again. Nothing much I have to say about whether it deserved or not. I have not been a fan of SRGMP's judgement standards. Vaishali sang much better songs in her genre in Marathi SRGMP but got dha (6/7) most of the times.
But anyways, I am at least glad that they started giving her attention and hype required to build fan-following among wider spectrum of music lovers and non-music lovers. Vaishali got once more from the audience and all the mentors came on to the stage (at Himesh's request although). Himesh has been known to whole-heartedly support his gharana contestants. We hope Vaishali benefits in terms of her fan-following and never sees bottom-3 again.

Here is the video:
Vaishali's song starts at [2:30] feel free to fast forward upto that point.

Vaishali : Thank you, it is all bcoz of you fans !Deepali : We were expecting you in Eklavya Gharana like Shoumen , how come you entered late .Vaishali: I really do not know, but Zee never told me about Eklavya, they already told me about my entry after Brahamstra round .

Deepali: We are happy to see you here Vaishali.I heard some where that you were not well bcoz of which you couldn't enter earlier in Eklavya!Vaishali: Oh no, that is so not right, I was pregnant then and two moths back me and Mr.Made has become proud parents of a wonderful daughter, 'Astha' :)Deepali: Wow, that is a wonderful , Congratulations to both of you!

Vaishali: Thank you, I am sure Aastha's arrival is very lucky for me.

Deepali: Tell me about your family background, any other member of your family is into singing ?

Vaishali : Not at all, I come from a very small town in Amaravati district, called ' Khar tale' where basic needs like water supply, hospitals, good schools are not available.
My family had extremely low income status where I couldn't even think of taking any professional music training.
I used to sing as a hobby.
If I had to learn music, going to Amaravati city was the only way which was impossible for me due to our economical status.
My father used to take me for small family functions, weddings where I started doing public singing.
This is how it started, my father showed me the path but I couldn't take any formal training until 2005.

Deepali:So what happened in 2005 ?

Vaishali:I got married and we came to Mumbai, the land of opportunities !
I must say more than me, it was my husband who wanted to see Vaishali, a 'Successful singer.
'He is the one who started supporting me to take my music seriously.
I am very lucky to have him as my life partner, without him my success was just impossible !
He encouraged me to learn classical music and he supported me to apply for Zee Marathi saregamapa 2006.
I got rejected in 2006 but my husband told me not to lose hopes.
Then I started learning classical music in 2006 from Pt. Ajay Pohankar..
Then finally I got selected for Zee Marathi Saregamapa for 2007 season and that is how people started knowing me.

Deepali:Vaishali, I am a big fan of yours.
I liked all your performances on Zee Marathi platform.
I think you are the only reality show winner, who deserved to win as per judges and as per public demand too.Also we are proud to have a woman who is the Mega winner.

Vaishali:Thank you, Zee Marathi journey was wonderful and I dedicate my victory to all my fans , who made me the 'Winner..Reality shows are made for public and I will be always grateful to them!


Deepali: Now you are here in Saregamapa Challenge'09 !Your first preference was Shankarji or Pritamda's gahrana, how do you feel to be in Himeshji's gharana?

Vaishali: Yes, I did mention Pritamda and Shankarji's gharana but I feel extremely proud to a part of Himeshji's 'Rock' Gharana.
I have always been a Shankar Mahadevan fan , he also guides me like Himeshji does !
I consider myself very lucky to have 2 great music directors to guide me.
At the moment I am new in Rock gharana, so prabably won't be able to describe Himeshji so well, but I feel he seems to be a nice person and he really is very hopeful and confident about me.

Deepali: We all are hopeful about you and Himeshji too !
Himeshji always supports his singers like his own kids, I am sure he will guide you on right track !
You are in right Gharana, I must say.

Vaishali:
Thank you !

Deepali:
Vaishali, what are your views on public voting, do you think deserving singers often face unfair decisions ?
What do you think of Aasma coming in istead of Sunvincer/Shashi/Manisha ?

Vaishali:
As I said earlier, 'Reality shows are made for the public , so if public demands something, the channel has to provide that.
Yes, we often see deserving singer not getting right opportunities, but I do not blame on any channel or public even.
The channel is bound to do what public demands !
If Asma has come back , yes, we have to accept that the public really wantes her and so she is here.
This is what reality shows are all about and being a reality show contestant, I understand these facts and I am ready to accept happily whatever public decides for me.

Deepali:Very well said Vaishali !
Who is your favorite contestant singer among top 14 and who is your best friend among these ?

Vaishali :
My answer to both is 'Shoumen , the Zee Bengali winner' !
He is my favorite performer and a very good friend as well.
He is very down to earth, simple person, I admire his singing and his nature very much.
And I am not saying this bcoz we both entered late after Brahamstra and we both are regional show winners, He really is a very good friend !

Deepali: What kind of songs you enjoy the most ?

Vaishali: My first love is 'Ghazals' !!
I am crazy about ghazals since my childhood.
Ghulam-Ali ji is my favorite ghazal singer, I am a BIG fan of his singing !
'Karo na yaad magar' is my favoriet ghazal.
I also like Ashaji, Suresh Wadkar ji a lot.
I love Madan Mohan ji-Lataji combination, I really want to perform on Madan-Moahnji song in Saregamapa some day !
I have practiced and I can sing more than 400 songs of Madan Mohanji.

Deepali:So tell me, when you perform, who seletcs your songs ?

Vaishali:We get different themes every week and we give our choices accordingly .The channel decides one song out of these choices.Do not forget to watch Sept 26 th episode.

Ishq Bina -- September 26th

Here is a beautiful rendition of Ishq Bina by Vaishali. She has sung it uniquely in her own voice and style. She took incredible amounts of small, and gentle harkats with her own variations. Look out for words like "marnaaa", "marrrna", "binaaa", each taken slightly differently everytime she sings. She gets History, History, History.

Vaishali ends up in bottom-3 right in the first week she enters.
Shankar mentions, "kya fayda history dene ke baad bhi she is in bottom three".

Currently, her performances are not getting noticed among so many singers. She enters the competition at this late stage, and hence she is yet to build her fan following. Instead of giving her much needed boost by praising her singing skills, Saregamapa has decided to market her poverty-struck past. She is certainly a representative and an inspiration to a huge class of rural people in India, who usually get no visibility.

Vaishali's Nimbooda Performance

Please enjoy the video of Vaishali's performance on September 20th. This is her opening song in Saregamapa 2009. The song may not be exactly in her forte, but she did remarkably well. She showed great character in her voice, especially at the low notes. I liked some parts of the song even better than the original, for example, the way she approaches the words "laay do".

No hype for her yet from the judges. They are, in fact, pointing out to some 1% shortcomings of her when Aadesh said about high notes. Let's see how the game unfolds. Enjoy.

Hello Friends

This is not an official website of Vaishali Mhade. This is a fan blog to support Vaishali (Bhaisne-Made) Mhade, an amazing singer in Sa re ga ma pa Challenge 2009.Vaishali is the winner of Zee Saregamapa Marathi. She joins SRGMP C-2009 as a direct entry in the final 14. She belongs to Himesh Reshammiya’s Rock Gharana. Vote for Vaishali and make her the grand winner of the Vishwayudh.

Her voice has the sweetness and heaviness which is rarely found. Her performances in SRGMP-Marathi have been outstanding. After a long gap, we find this rare lata-genre singer (after Nihira Joshi), to be entering reality shows. She is fond of Lata/Madan Mohan combination and Ghulam Ali’s Ghazals.

She is an extremely matured, humble, lively person and a true artist devoted to music.
