What does that mean pls elaborate
Nowadays with the help of softwares, lot of fiddling is done with the voice of a singer. Hear a singer live and one will come to know what the true picture is. I have read many people accusing Javed Ali that he doesn't sound as good while giving live performances as he is during playback.
I have noticed similar problem with Naresh Iyer. Many of his performances in the 'Mission Ustaad' were really bad. But that guy won a National Award for Robaaroo.
Tell Farhan Akhtar to sing live once and we will come to know how good a singer he is.
But of course songs of Rock On and songs of Javed Ali are smash hits. This is what the modern day trend is i.e. experimenting with new voices and this is one of the reason why trained singers are taking a back-seat.
Here is what singer Shaan says, "Music directors are avoiding established singers to bring some novelty in the playback singing, while compromising on the quality. Auto tuning software ensures that even rough voice can sound good while finally recording and releasing the song."
Even Sonu Nigam was quite miffed with music company Sony when he heard the news that they wanted to tamper with his voice in the song 'Soniyo'. We all know how big a hit that song became with his original voice.
In the golden era of music we never had any softwares. And that era produced singers of the caliber of Rafi Saab, Lata ji, Asha ji, Manna Dey etc. Yeh log jo mic ke peeche gaate the, wohi hamare kaano ko sunta tha.
