Jagga Auditions for Sa Re Ga Ma:

ZEE TV was holding Sa Re Ga Ma USA Tryouts yesterday and today at the Sunnyvale Hindu Temple and Jagga decided to give it a shot. There were two rounds in the competition. The first one was raw Accapella to see who could sing and hold notes without any music. The second round was with a keyboard player to see if the singer could hold beat, stay on key and had a stage presence. There were over 250 contestants who showed up to the Bay Area region tryouts and about forty were invited to sing in round two. A majority of the singers, were cut off during their song or done after they finished singing one song. Jagga went up and sang Punjabi Folk Boli Pinda Which Pind Suneedha, And the Judge seemed to like it and asked Jagga to sing Another Punjabi Song. Jagga then Sang Toar Jivay Jatt Di, which is an original track to be featured on his debut/upcoming album written by Satinder Kala. The Judge again approved the song and invited Jagga to come back for round two under one restriction: The 2nd round songs had to be in Hindi. Jagga Kindly Thanked the judges for the opportunity but turned down the offer. Out of the 40 round two contestants, A total of six were chosen. Three from day one, and three from day two.
The winners will be placed in pool of singers of which the top 16 from across the Nation will be selected and be invited to participate on Sa Re Ga Ma USA In Texas which will be shot in June.
