    Congrats Robin and Sabitha. From the first round itself they were my favourites to win Semis. Ditto in Finals too.

    Surely, it was Thushara's excellent work which gave extra boost to the singers. True to his Sri Lankan roots, he is a virtuoso musician, of high calibre but so much down to earth. Good luck to him in Konkani music world.

    Finally, special taaliyan go to our greatest compere Roshan without him there is hardly any fun in such events.

    Robin you won the race. No one had expected such a tough fight from Melrick and others which made your voice to come out as more refined one.

    It must have been very tough job to the judges Cajetan Dias, Shilpa Cutinha and Music Roshan D’Souza to come out on female singers. For me Carol, Jessica, Sarah, Sabitha all are the winners. But on the stage Sabitha you did it. Congrats Robin and Sabitha.

    Dashing music composer Roshan and our charming Mc Roshan both have given their dazzling light (Roshani) to the stage.

    Congrats to music arranger Team Thushara Kuruvitage and Monica Thushara. we enjoyed your every beats of efforts which bore the witness in the auditorium and online.

    Salam to our relatives, friends Mr. and Mrs. Nommy Leena, baab James and Alwyn for your presence and valuable contribution respectively.
