Sugandha Mishra performs, ignores her leg injury!

LOL ... its so funny when singers say that. For singers like Latatai and Ashatai, one doesn't even remember their actresses anymore. One only remembers their ethereal voice. I agree with the person who has said that the kind of songs Alisha sings are not memorable without their performance. Why should it hurt when Sridevi gave so beautiful expressions for Kaate Nahin that even Shekhar Kapoor was in a dilemma - whether to focus on her face or her dance. He had even said so in an interview. As for songs like Munni, Kajra Re ... they are today's news, but tomorrow's scrap.

I believe she is a good singer for certain songs. Her voice limits her to sing only certain songs, and that is why reaches limited audiece. I agree they are paid peanuts, and I am of the opinion they should be paid at least 5 fold. If she wants to be more popular then she needs to give lot more hits.

Sour Grapes.. huh!

If this becomes a norm than the Music Directors of non-album songs will say - Why should singers take credit of our music!!

You need to have a distinct voice and one that can make impression on others... We can still make out if its Lata Mangeshkar or Asha Bhosale or Shreya Ghoshal singing.. Its a uniqueness and melody in their voice that shines through the song and people recognize them!

Songs Alisha sings (or for that matter Sunidhi sings) - it will be so difficult to see them past the performance !!! They are mostly item & peppy songs which are popular because of its music/performance - not who is singing them!

Sorry Lady... You please rest and stay home... World out there is fierce!

shes right in the last paragraph singers need to be paid their due, but if she was so unhappy with playback singing why did she continue to do it for so long and then complain, she should have just quit earlier on. She did say she preferred to be jobless at home then let her talent go to waste, so why didnt she? Obviously she needs the peanuts to live on.

I think Alisha is justified about seeking better pay but I dont get her frustration about playback singing. Songs are written for characters and situations, so the actress who plays the character features in the song. May be Alisha should try full time acting and see if she can emote well enough to do justice to a song.

I do acknowledge the singers of these songs, not the actors and I love her voice. Playback singing gives her the opportunity to sing forever if she wants. And with playback your voice lives on for eternity in that movie. Sometimes the movie is terrible, but you remember the beautiful singing. I own a lot of soundtracks and I focus on the artist, not the actors when I listen. But her comments show an ungrateful attitude for her success. Honestly Alisha even a dog knows not to bite the hand that feeds him. Shame on you.
