People like Amitabh and Sridevi who have horrible voices should not take the
liberty of singing just because they are superstars. Even a horse would sound
better than Amitabh singing!

Hi!

In article <4uoarm$o...@news.iastate.edu>, nil...@iastate.edu says...

I wouldn't go that extreme ... but it is a fact that Amitabh's singing
voice is nowhere as good as his speaking voice. There is hardly any
sweetness when he is singing ... though he's done well in time-pass (tp)
numbers like 'Mere angane me..', 'Rang barse..' etc.

.... well, at least he is frank about the fact that he is no singer ...to
begin with!

...As for Sridevi ... it is boon if she has stopped singing (or
let's say ... her attempt to sing!) :-)

...It is advantageous being a superstar isn't it??! The superstar can
release a music album .... without really being a good singer/ musician
... while the real singers/ musicians have to wait and hope for the
best!! :-)
