Why Copycat Pritam is judge ? - Page 3

Also, you are forgetting that Pritam is a replacement for Bappi Lahiri. So his job is really to sit there and give useless comments and be completely clueless about the competition. At least he spares us by not singing songs in Bengali in every episode. 😆😆

lol good point

When you need to correct sur,pitch,taal everything in song using devices,then whats the job of Atif?

When you have so so many budding talents in India esp from reality shows wth such beautiful,original voices,perfect sur,taal,laya why u are adamant that u will use machines?

You were talking about Atif's style.Are you referring to his good-looks?

For example,a child falls ill.I give u 2 options to select
1.Parents will take the baby to a knowledgeable doctor well versed in his profession
2.Go to a doctor , without any knowledge ,who cannot examine or prescribe a medicine without browsing intenet.

Similarly

Option 1.KISHOREDA
2.ATIF

I hope you got my point.

Liking a person is different but it should not be at the cost of good music.

I have no problem with Pritam stealing tunes and all. In marketing terminology, we call it "Clever bootlegging". I would rather have someone like Pritam, who is relevant to the current music biz and is actually composing music for big projects and selling records, as a judge over someone like Adeshji who's a mere has-been.

@vijay,

I respect your emotions and feelings for others.

I just want to convey the point to all that only true talents should lead the music industry so that the golden era of Rafisaab,Kishoreda,Lataji,Ashaji will be back again.

As shocking as it is that Pritam is plagiarizing these songs, his song popularity cannot be ignored. And I will admit, I listen to these songs on a regular basis without once thinking about the fact that they may be plagiarized. Uh-Oh! Am I supporting plagiarism? Haha, just kidding. I think its the sole responsibility of the singers that are being ripped off, to sue Pritam. Once he is sued a couple of times, I hope that he will mend his ways. And we'll see the "real" Pritam.

As far as him sitting on the mentor's chair, well, I don't think any of these mentors, minus Shankar, deserves to be called a mentor. With the profession of a teacher/mentor it is simply not enough to possess knowledge. In order to be a good mentor, you have to be able to convey that knowledge to your student. And that's where all these mentors lack. They don't tell them where they are doing wrong and the contestants continue to repeat their mistakes.

Also, you are forgetting that Pritam is a replacement for Bappi Lahiri. So his job is really to sit there and give useless comments and be completely clueless about the competition. At least he spares us by not singing songs in Bengali in every episode. 😆😆

@Hybrid87,

Music is not just making profits. The basic principle of any job is that firstly you should be honest and truthful ,secondly think of profits.

Copying is not a solution for getting fame and profits.

Shankar-Ehsan-Loy's music CD's are selling like hot cakes everywhere and people really adore their music.They dont copy still their music is succeeding.Thats talent.

Regarding Aadeshji,he may not be getting much work like copycats.But whatever Aadeshji or Ismailji

have achieved, its through their hardworks,talent,music knowledge ,dedication ,and most importantly their honesty.So you should respect these kind of musicians rather than copy specialists.

@Hybrid,

Ismailji,definitely is a genius whereas Aadeshji may not be as good as him.I agree,but he's much much better than Pritam and eligible to sit as a judge.

If kids of reality shows wants to succeed in life as playback singers,whats wrong in it?
By sticking to sing only at Mandirs or bhajans to portray their love for music, wont help to earn their livelihood.

They need to earn money for their family and future.Out of their love and dedication to music,they are leaving their studies and jobs to come here to gain fame ,money etc.
There are millions of talented kids,club singers in all walks of life.Nobody is stopping them from participating in realty shows.

My point is that there is nothing wrong in using your talent and competing with others to make a mark in the music industry.

For example you decide which of the following is right.
1.Getting a job through knowledge,qualifications,experience
2.Getting it through cheating-manipulating,bribing etc

If Pritam is not fit to compose on his own,he should change his profession rather than to steal.
Such a person is not fit to sit as a judge before the musical future of our country.
If our kids follow Pritam's principles of copying,then there wont be any Saregama show.Instead there be shows which demonstrate and inspire kids to copy.
