    she is just an average singer with a limited range and lot of competition-experience. so she is playing her cards well.

    Chakravyuh decision was completely partial.

    Hei Mauli,

    You are proud of Gujarati, you keep it up. You deserves Cheverolet Spark in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007. At the age of 19 your achievement is too good. Your performances are very live and you know what people want. All the best. You are winner. I am Kaushik Joshi from Baroda.

    hey mauli babes,
    apart from your maiyya maiyya and rasia from mangal pandey none of your performances have been at par with your competitors. Watch out coz you were saved due to high trps generated by you maiyya maiyya and a ttotal partial judgement by ANANDJIBHAI under the influence of all GURUS. Watch out babes theres POONAM from ismails darbars gharana. Shes gonna get you down from where u started coz shes fantastic. u are just and average singer but your looks makes the peoples imagination go wild coz u r a hot property. But SINGING SORRY NO CHANCE BABES. BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME

    Hey Mauli,

    Some people are referring to as you got lucky with Anandji judgement and Poonam is better singer. Just ignore them. All it matters is that you are best singer and performer and no one is near you to give any competition. For people who are saying mauli can only sing a particular range of songs, ask other singers who only sings love and sad songs to sing Mayya Mayya or any other item song. They cannot.... what about their range. Mauli you are exceptionally talented and unique in the sense that outstanding singer in any reality song that I have watched until now.

    hey,
    well i'd just like to say that you do have a good voice, but being from US you should know a little more about the fashion trends here. I mean it does look kinda wierd if you wear glasses on the stage, which you'v worn severaal times. not to be stingy, just a suggestion. adios

    MAuli can be a good DJ at a party or Dandia. Beyond that she will be another singer who sings a couple of songs in the same genre and forgotten, just like the overrated Himesh.

    Personally, she is way overrated.

    Lastly, folks should get a little bit mature when the qualify someone by communities. It just shows our collective class as Indians. We need to move up from here.
