We have gone through some of the posts and comments you have made on this forum. We don't want to waste time to comment about your knowledge of music. But the abusive words you people use for Javed Akhtar sir, Shankar Mahadevan, Shreya Ghoshal, Mika are just more than intolerable. We have seen you made reference to Javed sir's arguments with Mr. Aamir Khan. We all musicians (composers, musicians, singers and lyricist) of Indian music industry totally agree with Javed sir's viewpoint in that matter and there is no doubt any capable musician of the world will agree with him (Maybe those incapable musicians who get professional work only because of their good association with some actors, directors and producers, disagree with him). So if you people disagree with him in that matter, we all musicians want to tell you – just stop listening to any music created by us; we don't need you.
You people have questioned the credibility of a song-writers over composers, singers as a judge of music. I'm myself a composer; and on behalf of all the composers would like to tell you that we think that song-writers play equally important roles as composers in the making of a quality song. The words they use in a song play vital part in the final tune and the singing style of that particular song. They may not know the technicalities of music, but their sense of music is no less than any composer. That's why we composers keep song-writers like Javed sir, Gulzar sir, Prasoon Joshi above ourselves. Even the biggest composer makes sure that he keeps happy these three song-writers.
Javed sir dares to say the truth publicly what other musicians don't, to avoid controversy.
If you people think that you understand music better than those who have been working in the music industry, then join us and help us to produce better music. But when you talk about us, give proper respect. Otherwise don't listen to our music. Your opinions are too trivial for us.
