The semi-finalists from UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman, comprising six male and six female singers from each of these countries, will now contest for the coveted titles of best male and female voices, and a cash prize of Rs 1 lac each.

 








































































































 

The UAE semi-finals, hosted by leading organziation Mangalore Konkans Dubai on September 26, was fun-filled event with 6 male and 6 female singers contesting in two rounds to prove their calibre.

Joshal, Jane, Nisha , Vinola, Fabella and Sharon contested in the female category wheras Mewyn, Vincent, Brian, Alwyn, Anil and Jeevan vied for the top spot in the male category. Ramiro Mascarenhas provided music for the competition as well as for live performances by visiting artistes.

Well-known faces from the Konkani music world Melwyn Peris, Alwyn Fernandes and Anitha D'Souza were in the panel of judges.

Roshan D'Silva and Roweena Menezes beautifully compered the event which lasted for around 5 hours.

A song by Melodia and a dance performance by Feat Beat group led by Arun Lobo added more spark to the evening's entertainment.

Melwyn Peris, Anitha D'Souza and Alwyn D'Souza rendered some of the best Konkani numbers that thoroughly entertained the audience.Former GVOM winners Vinay Lewis and Ivan Fernandes too joined the veterans to entertain the crowd.

During the intervals, sponsors of the event were felicitated by the organizers. Mangaalore Konkans president James Mendonca thanked the participants, the sponsors and the audience for making the show a huge success.

Melroy D'Cunha's maiden devotional album was released during the event. Daijiworld founder Walter Nandalike, after releasing the album 'Tannem Kelyanth Vichitram' said that it is encouraging to see today's young generation interested in Konkani music. "This is a bright sign for Konkani music as youngsters are the assets of any community or language," he said. He advised the contestants of GVOM-4 to take the results in a positive manner without harbouring any hard feelings, as everyone cannot win and only two can go to Muscat for the final, though every contestant deserved to win.

Dunes Hotel Apartments was the main sponsor, and Daijiworld.com the media partner.

Broadway Event Management, Abu Dhabi proved they are the best sound providers in the region after successfully engineering the sound system for the event. Video, sound, and lighting was managed by Broadways, Abu Dhabi.

    Male singers there was there was no competition as he was very very good and moreover good songs were ed and catchy songs . Female singers despite talents many did not sing nicely particularly in 1St round and moreover songs they ed were not catchy in 1st round. 1St round was very crucial. In 2nd rounds most of them were equally good and probably one was better than ed female but it was not a crucial round. Competition therefore was very very limited in female section . ed Female singer has to be cautious in finals since there will be much much tougher competition in finals.

    MK, thank you for another wonderful platform. A big thanks to all who worked back stage, Vincy and for all the arrangements done to us. A big salute to the judges. I wish we had some more time to get advice from all the judges to each of us. It really helps. Results when not in favor, do hurt but when fair, it’s a blessing to learn more, it’s really not the end, the journey has just begun…Ramiro and team, you made it simpler and gave us all the confidence. Thank you. Joshal, Vincy all the best, our prayers with you. Get the trophies. Good luck. God Bless you both. Roshan, You are a star and an inspiration. You began with a soulful song and ended with tears in my eyes not because of results but your words of encouragement. God bless you and your family. Keep up the spirits and the humor. You were perfect and you made the program a big success as always.

    Congratulations to Vincy & Joshal. All the best for Oman.

    Singing by the group was excellent. There was pin silence in the hall.

    Though the program was well organized, there are a few points which need improvement

    1.The slide show during the competition was very distractive, could see few audience giggling or laughing at it, which might distract the contestant. Some slides were misleading .. had recipes, bollywood videos, and for only one contestant it had his video of singing.
    2.It would have been better to have a prayer dance or others to sing prayer song, rather than burden the contestants.
    3.After mentioning about the judges, inviting them on stage, had a lengthy reading of their introduction, was not necessary.
    4.Contestants were leaving their seats (Specially girls except Sharan) wasn’t looking good on stage to have blank chairs.
    5.The format of second round was not consistent, some sang the whole song while some just repeated chorus and one of them just sang four lines.
    6.Making fun of people on stage could be avoided. Humor can be created in a better way.
    7.Hindi and English was not required as this was a Konkani show.

    Hope organizers will make note of this,looking forward for good programs in future.

    On the whole it was a good program.

    I totally agree with Pramod,they announced about introduction of melwin peris and the person who was supposed to give introduction was missing and than they have such lengthy introduction and judges had to stand for all the three introductions, what a punishment …. slideshow was not important as it was singing competition .if required than it should be relevant please check the slideshow before playing it so that its decent when people from all age group witness the competition .

    Yes I fully agree with Mr Lasrado. Only two people can win, not all. I liked Walter Nandalike speech, who said "Tomorrow a new day will come, and you get new opportunity.." I am happy no one is blaming here for judgement, that means every one has taken the decisions positively. Which is great sign. Full credit goes to Mangalore Konkans and compere Roshan

    Congrats to the winners and organisers. But from this distance I felt that compere Roshan and band leader Ramiro must have been prominent for the success of the show. One of the judges Anitha is a class apart with her musical background just like the other two Melwyn & Alwyn. But, what do you think that instead of having 3 pure musical judges you should keep one layman in the panel to add a bit of variety in the final verdict ? Organisers should discuss this idea and see if this will help. Anyway, well done MK, singers, musicians and judges. Saw at least one young and promising singer (Brian) taking over from his father !

    Every singer tried to give out their best. Joshal truly has got an amazing voice. She performed like a professional singer. Vicent too sang well but his humbleness made him a true winner. He was like a surprise pack. Hats off to the winners. Every singer performed up to mark.

    I am so happy that we have a judge like you who analyses so well.
    Your landing was perfect too !!!
