Lata Mangeshkar defends Rahman over CWG song
Defending the music maestro A R Rahman over the Commonwealth Games theme song fiasco, melody queen Lata Mangeshkar has said that people should not expect every song of this genius composer to be a rocking hit.
"I have not heard the song. What I am hearing is continuous criticism, which I related stories
At 81, India's nightingale Lata sings on
don't like at all. Rahman is an extremely dedicated composer and people are getting too harsh because of just one failure," Lata Mangeshkar told PTI .
"It's just like people should not expect century from Sachin (Tendulkar) in every match. It happens in music also. Even the veterans do mistakes sometimes. I cannot say that every song of mine is perfect. Many a times I am not satisfied with what I have sung," said the Bharat Ratna awardee.
The CWG theme song Oh Yaaro, Ye India bula liya has got a lukewarm response. People have been saying that it lacks lustre and was either a result of a hurried job or the composer's powers were no longer as potent as before.
Although Rahman charged a whopping Rs. 5 crore as fee for the theme song, but it desperately lacks the verve or pace of Shakira's Waka, Waka, which became a global hit during this year's football World Cup. It also falls well short of the composer's own rousing hits of the past.
Lata Mangeshkar, who turned 82 today, however, applauded the dedication and devotion of the Oscar winning music director.
"Whatever Rahman has created, must be a result of a lot of hard work. Sometimes audience do not like what we feel is our best. It happens and one cannot avoid it. In this case neither Rahman is wrong nor the audience," said the legendary singer.
The Indian nightingale, who has rendered her voice in some of the gems from Rahman like Jiya Jale (Dil se), O Paalan haare (Lagaan) and Luka Chhipi (Rang de Basanti), felt that music is a passion for the Mozart from Madras and he wants to bring something new every time.
"I remember when he was working on his album Vandemataram, one day at midnight he went to the Tamil director Bharat Bala and told him that he was ready with the song and wanted to record it then.
"They did the recording at night and then Bala made the video. It shows how sincere Rahman is towards his work," she added.Bala, incidentally, is also the creative head of the ceremonies committee for the Delhi Games 2010. The video of CWG theme song is conceptualised and produced by Bharat Bala productions

'CWG will be off to a flying start once Rahman starts singing'
NEW YORK: There may be delays and lapses in preparation for the Commonwealth Games, but External Affairs Minister SM Krishna says the troubled event will be "off to a flying start" when AR Rahman starts singing the welcome song on October three.
Speaking at the Asia Society here, Krishna assured the world community that the Games would be a success and hoped that the athletes will be satisfied with the preparations.
"This much I can assure you as an Indian and as a minister of the external affairs of India that on OCtober 3 when (Oscar-winning music composer) AR Rahman starts with his welcome orchestra, I think we will be off to a flying start," Krishna said in response to a volley of questions on the Games.
The Games will be inaugurated on Sunday at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi.
Krishna also admitted there have been some lapses in a sense.
"We did not anticipate that the monsoons will be so prolonged and so heavy and as a result of that the preparations got delayed but the news that is coming out of New Delhi in the last two days that things are improving," he said.
"The athletes have started coming to New Delhi and they will be very pleased with the arrangements," he said.
Krishna, who is in New York for attending the opening session at the General Assembly, has responded to several queries by the Indian and foreign media about the problems associated with the games.
Several comparisons have been made to India's failure to get it act together when China pulled off the Olympics and South Africa managed the Football World Cup earlier this year.
"This has been said about every international athletic event before it starts...questions are always asked and doubts are always expressed... the ultimate proof is eating of the pudding," Krishna said.
"I am going to be back here again next year and then you can put to me this question how well we conducted the Commonwealth Games," the External Affairs Minister said.
