Yes, I heard her sing it in the same show in which Rahul Vaidya performed.
And you know whats funny? In her recent interview, she was putting down the music reality shows and their contestants. Its really ironic that an Indian Idol contestant sang much much better than she did and that too live. In the duets, it was Rahul V who was leading whereas Shibani was just singing the chorus with Rahul and did not even know the lyrics properly.
Here's her interview. Some of her points are valid (regarding the drama and fights) but she's probably just jealous cos the contestants are more popular and well-known than her!
Celebrated
singer and music director Shibani Kashyap is not very happy with the various reality
music talent shows (Indian Idol 3, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, Amul Star Voice of
India etc.) going round the corner on
television these days. She says that there is nothing different being offered and accused that all the shows are just clones of
American Idol.
According to Shibani, the Indian Idol purposely seems to bring in bad participants (at least in the early rounds) and watching them makes people a complete fools of them! On the contrary, she says that these shows are just a good
reality show. Nevertheless, the Sajna re girl says that these shows are a hit with a section of the audience as most of the Indian's love rags-to-riches stories.
Shibani, who is looking forward to her tracks in
Sanjay Gupta's upcoming flick Shootout at Lokhandwala, feels a wee bit amused watching the so-called cat fights between the Indian Idol
judges - Anu Malik, Javed Akhtar, Alisha Chinai and Udit Narayan. "Some of them clearly look staged. What really annoys me is that they seem so loud and make belief."
Shibani further adds, "I still remember Fame Gurukul where the parameters of choosing the contestants made no sense. Hence people like Qazi Toukir ended up winning. Let's hope that the current talent shows don't fall into the same trap".
Shibani, who shot to fame with Ho Gayi Hai Mohabbat in 1998, seems to be disappointed when beautiful faces rather than the singing abilities, training in music, they give more importance in gharana by these talent show judges. "I understand that today you do need good looking singers (because of visuals), but all this can be taken care of later. Right now you need to find just raw talent, period."
These days the
singer and music director of Zinda Hoon Main is not too happy with the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa contestants as well. "What I can say is that these contestants only have better face than singing talent. Would it not be better, if they tried to add some originality like the
American Idol singer Sanjaya Malakar? Did he not sweep away the judges with his stylish renditions? Most
American Idol contestants also have huge imperfections, but they try to add their personality (changing the note a bit, improvise, etc.) to the
song, which makes them interesting to watch and hear," opines Shibani before signing it off.
