Better than the Original Comments - Page 4

oh let me point out when actors say stuff like "you sung better than the original" i don't pay much attention to that because seriously what do actors know about singing? well some do, but most don't and they have admitted that too. but when music directors make such comments its just seriously a shame. there are other ways to boost up the contestants! you don't need to reference the original singer and take credit away from them.

There are times when the cover done by a reality show contestant is better than the original but that is really rare. Furthermore, I think that it needs to be acknowledged that the singer is limited by the use of the song in the film, how it is picturised, the demands of the MD as well as the movie director and finally whom (the actor) the song is being sung for. On a reality show, the scale can be adjusted, the tempo can be adjusted, extra murkia can be added.... the possibilities are endless. I am particularly offended when someone who does not sing (like Salman Khan for example) says that the contestant should have sung it instead of the original singer. PLEASE -- if we know about the song at all, then it is because the original singer did a very good job on it and made it popular. Salman Khan has done this at least 3 times with Kavita K songs and it is silly to compare these up and coming singers to someone like Kavitaji. It is also not good for the contestants to be encouraged to indirectly disrespect elders -- is this the new parampara of India -- if so, I see a bleak future for Indian music.

Omg i know 😆 Hrithik better not say anything like that this week :P
A music director saying that for their OWN song would be believable ... and that would truly be an award at the end of the day. Cause how often do you hear MD's comparing contestants to their OWN music - only if they truly mean it right? :D

@bold : I agree. It would be more awkward if the comments are passed in the presence of the original singer..

Most of the times the judges just say something - you never know if they really mean it. They sound sooo dramatic waving hands in air, standing up et al, its quite funny.

I liked Mauli's 'Maiyya Maiyya' which was a one-time wonder as it is called.

My post was totally referenced to Salman because each and every time he has mentioned to a particular contestant that they have sung better than the original and they should have sung the original. mad annoying. I hope Hrithik won't disappoint!

I know .. Salman just does it to boost up their morale. He does it every season 😆

LOL. He brings a lot of entertainment on the show, but when it comes down to singing the guy knows nothing. He's always insulting Kavita ji and her singing....Kavita ji is ONE amazing yet underrated singer. Remember Sumesha in challenge 07?! She sung Bahoien Ki Darmiya...And she sung it sooooooooo beautifully no doubt, but seriously do you think she sang better than Kavita ji? :O
