finalists to become the winner of the #Intezaar edition of VYRL Coverstar. The
evening ended on a high note with Mithoon and Asees’s surprise performance
leaving the crowd spell bound.
Talking about the finale of VYRL Coverstar,
Mithoon shared, “The grand finale of VYRL Coverstar has been the most
unique experience for me because as a composer I have put out so many songs,
but once I finish a song I just move on to the other because of which there is
a certain isolation and disconnect that comes between me and my songs. But here
I am back to my song Intezaar after I put it out which has been there for more
than a month. And I was delighted to see people come and perform for us from
all over the country. We got to know that there were more than 2000 entries that
came for this and to see the best 12 of them live who interpreted the song in
different ways, to hear what they felt, what they thought about each line and
put it out, it was very -very refreshing for me as a musician and that's why I
couldn't hold back and I just picked a moment and jumped on the stage and I
joined the musician team and I played it myself. I think Vinit, Mohit, Asees
and I had a great time.”
Talking about VYRL Coverstar – Intezaar Edition,
Mohit shared, “I had a great time watching all 12 finalists
perform their versions of Intezaar, each being unique in its own way. There are
a very few platforms like this which exist in our country that gives
opportunities to budding musicians to showcase their talent in front of
artists. I am happy that I was a part of this awesome evening that celebrated
music.”
“This was such an incredible experience, all the
contestant sang really well. It is a great opportunity for budding artists to
sing in front of Mithoon Sir, Mohit Sir, and Vinit Sir and such opportunities
come very rare and it was very evident that all the finalists put in their
100%. I had a great time watching each of their Performances as they were so
amazing. This edition of VYRL Coverstar was truly bigger and better”, shared
Asees Kaur .
