Amanat is very good but only in his genre! Others are allrounders.
-You are under the wrong impression that the next step for the SRGMP winner is Hindi film playback singing, whereas there are lot of other avenues & fields of music industry where he can make a mark, (not to mention the lumpsum prizemoney he gets paid for his efforts).
- Please keep, getting-playback offers & winning-SRGMP separate, because to become a playback singer one need not necessarily go through such a competition.
-Not all playback singers' voice suit Indian actors but still they are extremely good to listen and have their niche audience. Playback singing is not the end all & be all of our great Indian music tradition.
- what is wrong with a ghazal singer haven't you heard the melodies of Jagjit singh, Hariharan, Roopkumar Rathod, Pankaj Udhas? They are more respected than most of the playback singers in India & even by those very PB singers you are craving for so much
-Amanat is a welcome refreshing singer in the ghazal mehfil of India, if he chooses to be so.
Mussarat will surely get many opportunities to show his talent & musical skills, in the days to come so please have patience.
