Hahaha thanks so much! 😳

Pata nahi This cough has ruined my sleep this week. Lmao yeh too much ghuroor from the epiglottis. 😆

It's almost done 😆 I feel like there is more expectation from us now because the previous one was so well appreciated, and we had no idea how it will be received. now the pressure is on. 😆 Just bear in mind, that we're both foreign born and bred, and Hindi is neither of our first language, so go easy on us. 😆

Arey waah.. Can't wait to hear then.. 🥳

Lol me too! 😆 I feel like I am Friends' Monica, when anyone suggests any song to some other member.. I have a really hard controlling myself from doing this.

Read *I'll sing, I'll sing* in place of *I know, I know* 😆 lol

Damn my wifi is acting up today

Ok.. gud night. Catch u tomorrow 🤗

Take care buddy.

@bold - lol.. tell me about it! 2 days back I told Shwetha that I would dedicate one song to her and it had this "kha" form the epiglottis! Lol.. I just tried and tried.. and either I couldn't get it right or it looked too forceful! so guess what.. I had to activate that *abra ka daabra* mantra on her and I guess it's working pretty fine 😆

Don't worry, Mr English muffin 😆 We would love the cute accents you English Babu, Aussie Mem may have while speaking your hindi lines. So.. just bring it on, whenever you get better. ⭐️

@Blue: What do you think of the variations in this song, Birdie?

...

P.S. I am not comparing any singer. Every singer has their own style. I love all three singers: Kishore da, Hemant da and Manna da. But wouldn't it be wrong to generalize that variations are not important for male singers?

at work, so cant hear the song. I assume that song has a lot of technical difficulty and shows Manna Da's technical prowess? Yes, Manna Da had great technical prowess, perhaps more than anyone else.... based on my passing knowledge of Hindi music.

of course there are exceptions. There almost always are in any kind of practical generalization. But even your example only proves my general point (and it was only a general point). Inspite of being classically trained, and having the ability to perform more variations and vocal calisthenics than Kishore Da, outside some circles, I dont think he had the level of mass appeal that Kishore Da had, or for that matter Rafi Sahab, Mukesh Sahab and Hemant Da . Kishore Da won 8 filmfare awards, more than all other male singers! And that was the general point I was making- variations have generally not been a significant factor in male singer's success. Critics might rave about someone's technical prowess, but at the end of the day it's about reaching audiences. Also, it's like essay writing. Vocabulary might be important, but it seldom is the determinant of how good someone else's essay is. Vocabulary, vocal calisthenics etc are a means to the end, not the end in themselves imo.

Also consider: head to head, same song sung by Hemant Da/ Kishore Da or a female singer, the male version was more popular even though the female singer used lots more variation. The Kudrat song was one example. Kishore Da's version stands out for that intangible element of being able to convey deep emotion and he hit the notes straight without all the fancy variations taken by the female. Na Tum Humein Jaan is another example. Hemant Da's version stands out for the unique manly/ romantic combination in his voice, and is still remembered more than the female's.

sorry for the long essay. Got carried away.😭

That's an interesting data, Birdie 👏 Thanks for sharing. Couldn't feel more proud for Kishore da.

BTW Filmfare awards are given to honour artistic and technical excellence, not mass appeal. They are voted on by both the public and a committee of experts. But let's not go into the details of the awards 😆 I am not looking for a debate nor wanting to compare one legend with another legend. All of the singers you mentioned are legends in their own right.

My curiosity was more about why you thought (my interpretation of your previous post, forgive me if I interpreted wrong) variations are more important for female singers than male singers for mass appeal? If I consider the number of filmare awards (using the same yardstick as you), then in the millennial generation both Shreya Ghoshal and Arijit Singh have got 6 of them (highest among the millennial singers) and both exhibit interesting variations in their singing. Probably the musical taste of the current demography is leaning more and more towards variations. For a singer of any gender.

Anyways, let's stop spamming the thread with our discussion and return to the topic of the thread. Or the TM will kick us out for spoiling the thread 🤣

Can't wait to hear more of Lataji's songs from everyone
