Singer KK feels reality show participants don't come up with their own singing style and copy established singers. So they fall flat in spite of winning the show. The singer who was in Lucknow, shared his thoughts about music and personal life.
I'm too hot: The summer heat obviously doesn't go unnoticed by KK who's just back after brief vacation from Kerela. "God is this place hot? I haven't stopped sweating ever since I've landed here. I swear I haven't experienced peak summers since long and I wonder how you guys cope up with this heat. Ive just been back from Kerala where its almost cold," says he even while he's dressed in black from head to toe. Wondering why? "Black makes me look slim," says he with an impish smile. "But don't you think black looks cool on stage? I do, that's why for most of my stage performances you'll find me wearing black." Although he does clarify there's no superstition involved here. "It's just an unconscious choice."
Making Amends at last:
Happy with the recent amendments incorporated in the Copyright Act, KK feels it was high time singers and lyricist were given a portion of the lion's share. "It came a bit too late in India. All over the world every one gets a share from the profits of a song. Only in India, we didn't have something like this and we singers and lyricists were the ones getting a raw deal. Abroad, people have sung one song in their entire lives and they have earned from it for the rest of their lives. Here we would sing all our lives and yet not make enough money out of it. At least now everyone gets their share of the booty. Finally something is being done for us and why not? When every one is having the pie, why deny us a share in to too? So, this amendment is rock on!
A lazy guy:
Calling himself content and a lazy guy KK says he can never turn a music composer. "It's too much of a work and I can't take the burden of additional work on me. I'm a lazy guy and I'm happy being just a singer. I have enough stage shows and film songs to keep me more than occupied. Is se zyada kaam mein nahi kar sakta. Besides being a music composer means a lot of tension. Composers ke saath kya hota hai ki they are constantly thinking about tunes, music and instruments etc. I'm not cut out for so much tension. Yaar studio jao, gaana gao aur wapas aa ke chaen se baitho. That's my philosophy. Itna saar kaam karke kya hoga? Dil se kaam karo is my 'funda'. Singing a song well is my life, my junoon.
Reality show singers are copy cats:
Not in favour of judging any talent hunt shows, KK also says that becoming a playback singer is not so easy for the winners or participants of such shows. "I don't want to criticize or belittle these youngsters who participate in talent hunt shows. But the fact is that all of them are singing songs of some one else on these shows and are also practicing singing by singing someone else's songs. In this quest they forget their own individual style of singing and voice. What happens then is that in spite of winning a show, they fall flat because it's hard for them to get out of that Sonu Nigam, Kishore Kumar or Lata Mangeshkar mould. When they are given a new song to sing, they end up copying these established singers not creating an individual style of their own. Now who wants to listen to a copy cat when they can listen to the original one. So, what these youngsters must do is create a style of their own. Also these guys are so impatient. Aaj show jeeta, kal singer ban'na chahte hain. Yaar aise thodi hota hai. It took us years to struggle and reach where we are today. And you think the competition isn't tough? It's hell lotta tough. Every day a new singer is being launched. Usme toh apni idnetity banana is even more important. Unless you work hard, have some thing different to offer, you'll get lost in the crowd.
Old is gold but new is also wow:
Not agreeing to the fact that new songs are not as melodious as the old ones, KK says, "Do you people even have the kind of time to really listen to the new numbers? The world today is so fast paced that by the time you can like a song, several; other new ones are already there so the song does register in your mind but it is over taken by a new one. Pehle kya tha ki ek gaana hafton tak radio pe sunayi deta tha. People had not much choice, but now there's no dearth of songs. That's why their shelf life is also limited. But they are in no way lacking in melody, singing or lyrics. Take Guzaarish, Tera Hone Laga Hoon or for that matter any song of present times, they are so melodious.
Daddy cool:
KK's teen aged son Nakul is also following in dad's footsteps but not in singing. "Nakul is more into composing music. he has his own band and he likes to play the guitar. He 's more into his own kind of music and I don't think he'll venture into mainstream Bollywood. Nor do I have any plans of ushering him in here. He has to chart out his own destiny and career. As for Tamara, my daughter, she has a keen interest in music and also one of my sharpest critics. But she's still too young to think of a career."
