Angoor Ka Daana: o saathii re din Duube naa

[Vinay]

I will say it. Vishal should not sing his songs. I don't think he does
even half the justice to the song that it deserves. There's no point in
making something beautiful and then ruin it yourself.

Yes, I think Vishal's singing is the lowest point of the song. His
voice sounds tired (you can literally hear the breaths even at the
beginning of the song), flat and 'kachchii'. I don't understand
Composer's urge for singing professionally by MDs unless they can
outclass the available talent or bring something new to the mic. He
does neither. He may be okay, but I don't think 'okay' is enough in the
field of bg singing right now.

Vishal makes up in the arrangement though. The song starts with a
beautiful guitar piece and is overall very well arranged. The melody is
simple and pleasing.

This song also brings the much-maligned (on RMIM) "Gulzarish" aspect of
Gulzar to the fore-front in full bloom. puure gaane se pahale cha.nd
baanagiyaa.N pesh hai.n:

(suuraj ke lie) "tum piiTh pe lenaa
mai.n haath lagaauu.N"

"kabhii-kabhii yuu.N karanaa
mai.n Daa.NTuu.N aur tum Daranaa"

"tere dohare badan me.n
sil jaau.Ngii re
jab karawaT legaa
chhil jaau.Ngii re"

Only Gulzar can better this.

Of course it did not make sense. My thoughts and fingers were not in
sync.
Here's what I wanted to write:

"I don't understand this urge that many composers have, to sing their
songs. Unless they can outclass the available talent or bring something
new to the mic, it is unprofessional and unfair (to the listeners). It
also backfires."

Well Vishal was obviously not the first choice for the song..

on this song he says,

"This is the first time that I have sung for a full fledged number.
Infact I was not supposed to, but due to time constraints I had sung a
rough track before leaving for the shoot.. everybody somehow loved the
rendition and forced me to keep it in my voice,, it evokes the
romanticism of the 60's. I composed this one while travelling to Goa to
meet Ajay. Infact out of six songs in the film, three were composed
while travelling"

Personally I dont think he has done a bad job.. infact his voice is
very fresh and eventhough its 'kachchi', suits well to the song..

I agree with Vinay - the breathing is positively disgusting .. though
he brings out the flavor of the song nicely..
