I was tremendously disappointed this week with the "rock theme". It wasn't about the performances as such, it was the song choices.
Tell me how "Aisa Jaadu" sounds like a rock song. It's a dance song. There's no drums, electric guitar, its' just a dance song.
or even "Dil Se Re". I love this song to bits, but its NOT rock. It just isn't.
and especially "Saawariya" and "Meter Down". I don't even know why anyone would consider these as rock songs.
It isn't anyone's fault that there aren't many rock songs in Bollywood history. But if this is the case, why make it a theme? Not only is it extremely wrong, it's misleading other people into thinking that it's rock music. Real rock is different. Songs from "Rock On" are a good example. Some songs from "Life In A Metro" are rock based. Why couldn't anyone use these?
And the outfits. THE outfits. Leather alone doesn't say rock. You don' t a million chains on your pants, and squeaky tight leather pants to look like a rock star. Rock isn't just black.
I am aware that rock culture is not very popular in Indian culture. This is no one's fault, and it isn't a bad thing. BUT when an exposed show like SRGMP try to execute a rock theme, they should do some research. They should guide the contestants on song choice, at least just to get the genre right. What happened this week, was not right. It was inaccurate. It was misleading.
