What I don't understand is why would someone question Hema fan's intelligence?. I am not blind nor deaf. I am not a musician myself but I do have a great ear for music for being married to a musician for 32 years. I have some sense. I have supported Nihira and Hema from the beginning. Ofcourse I had heard Nihira for so many years and she has been my fav for a long time.
I like Hema when I first time heard him. I got to find out about his classically trained background along his family background too. I am impressed about his mother's accomplishements and her being his Guruji. As I heard him more and more He kind a sort of grew on me. He has real manly, mature, original voice and excellent singing. Great control of sur in high and low notes. Yes he has had couple of bad days.
If He was really bad believe me I would be the first one to admint and say that I was wrong. If that was the case I would have supported Rajeev or Paresh for being Gujju since I am Gujju.
Why can't people accept one's reasons for being someone's fan and respect that? Writing with big and bold fonts or giving out their own personal analysis does not make anyone right and make others wrong. It it just their opinion. It does not change anyone's opinion but creates debates and ill feelings among members in this forum. Trust other people's intelligence in their liking.
If one does not speak offesively than the other one won't hear it defensively.
I would have prefered a direct comment. Speaking out directly is much more healthier and classy. I had expected something like that from a senior person and a senior member of this forum. May be that's not your style.
When it comes to music, I am a classically trained musician too, and just don't rely only on my hearing abilities. So, I know what I am talking about.
I don't want to continue this any further, and I rest my case. You stick to your opinions, and I will stick to mine.
