so guys chill down and learn to accept differences and nobody can force anybody to like something..its just a personal choice...
So to cut the crap short..stop reacting so violently for somebody's preference and stop bashing around these contestants..they all have worked hard in their life ..nothing is served to them on silver platter..learn to appreciate....
RIP..
I agree with you on tastes.. and abt reacting rudely to someones comment.. Here is my reaction to your comment..hope you do not take it in a bad way.
Popularity is very relative to time:
Remember Form is Temporary , Class is Permanent.
What some people are talking about is Class not form..
do you remember Shailender Singh.. had very popular songs.. never made it big. Cannot even be included in the same class as Udit and Sonu.
As far your reference to classical and its implications..no playback singer in Bollywood can be a class apart without having a classical base or have the ability to deliver semi - classical stuff..
Kishore always chided classical music but was an excellent exponent of singing semi classical stuff remember chigari koi bhadke - ( I am told this is raag bhairavi)...
But anyways he had the gift of the heavenly voice which no one till date can compare to..
All top MDs of today are excellent with classical music and that is what sets them apart and in turn makes them popular and a class act..
