Anoushka Manchandani is the new voice who entered the Star Plus's reality talent hunt show Amul Star Voice of India last week to give the contestants a tough run in the competition. The singer turned model and VJ was a part of an Indian Band called Viva which was formed after five girls won the reality show on Channel V.
Producer Gajendrra Siingh, Sai Baba Telefilms, says, "Anoushka is a known face and a contemporary singer in the industry.
This new element is to shake up the contestants and to let them know that this time it won't be easy to win the title of VOI. The best part about her voice is that it fits in today's music world and I think even our participants can learn many things from her."
Her entry was touted to be a real mood spoiler for the contestants but the contestants didn't let her presence ruin their performance.
To give her the taste of her own blood, they decided to sing western Hindi music and dared her in their own way. Vipul set the temperature soaring as he crooned to the tune of the peppy number 'Halk Halka sa'. His performance was liked by the judges and Anoushkha as well.
This young lad's peck to Anoushka tonight would have put him in a tight spot. Ritisha recreated the magic with 'Mahiya'. Sukhwinder complimented her but all the other judges and Anoushka pointed out that her nervousness is keeping Ristisha from giving her best performance.
The other contestant, Rohit came up with a melodious track 'Soniye'. The judges were satisfied with his singing skills and they felt that Rohit had performed straight from his heart. Even Anoushka found depth and magic in his singing.
The Delhi boy, Ravi mesmerised with his song 'Humma Humma'; it gained high applause from one and all.
Sukhwinder was overwhelmed by his singing. Mallar, the last contestant of the evening, gave an electrifying performance on 'Khuda Jaane' which swayed the judges on their seats. They could clearly see a prospective Voice of India in Mallar.
Finally the elimination round struck the contestants and the judges. An unknown voice declared the results. A shocking elimination took everybody by shock. Who did the Indian junta dismiss this time?
