Something is missing in today's music - Page 4

I remember reading somewhere few years ago Naushad ji saying in a interview that the difference between the singers and MD's of this generation and the greats of yesteryears is that the modern singers trained themselves by listening to music rather than actually working hard on their singing abilities and style. They spend most of their time trying to perfect some aspect of their singing that mimics only partially the style of some of the golden greats. The modern MD's don't really create music, they only do rehashes and adaptations ..poor ones. and so the music is not fresh sounding because it is not fresh. Riyaz is what the modern singers are lacking and they don't want to 'waste' time on that since they are making money anyways. You all must have now begun to already feel the monotonity in Alka Yagnik's or K Sanu's singing and do not yet feel that in Asha ji voice, which is because of the fact that Asha continued to evolve as a singer over the years through hard work where as K. Sanu and others remain where they were the day they entered the film industry .
