you flip through channels everyday, looking at a million reality shows, people crooning at the top of their voices, minds, lungs, strung out brains...trying to look 'sad' and 'righteous' when asking you for votes...
a lot of people all over India are DYING to get into these shows at every moment...and what happens when you win? you become famous, that's right, you become famous and popular..start your career "im popular!! now i can charge you loads of money to endorse products and come to dance and sing at your marriages!!"
did you realize, that all this time all you losers were just looking at some humans on a stage, singing 'popular' songs from 'popular' movies to an audience the contents of which just wanna sit around waving their hands from left to right in the studio listenign to these tunes while the show is being filmed...
anyone can sing, bloody anyone!! with sufficient amount of vocal training and practice, what happens here, is that these people sing some of the country's most popular songs, awesomely, on stage...then they're applauded and put on a pedestal for reproducing the song which had been very well recorded in a studio once, professionally, which we can listen to on cd's in our home's at anytime...on stage.
then they'll show these video clips of people saying 'musicis my passion', 'sangeet hi mera imaan hai' etc etc.
no sir, fame is your passion, your 'imaan' is people going crazy about you...your contribution is zero...this song was written by somebody, the music was created by another person, and a nice playback singer sang it for a part in a movie...
what is really required is the promotion of bands, and/or people with original compositions...
i can't think of an interesting way to end this....
all this running after fame pisses me off, i wish some of my favourite indian bands were getting as famous as these bloody wedding band singers...
more than them, these idiots are being promoted...i wish someday they'd ask somebody who has actually done something for the indian music industry (yeah, i count even indian metal/funk/alternative etc bands in the 'indian music industry') would be asked to endorse something..hehe (although i hope they don't sell out to toothpaste or something)
