There are so many singers who rely on this tactic. ItвЂ™s like gadhe aur ghode ek saath race mein hain aur gadhe jeet rahein hain. Your click will be counted and the owner of the label will make money. Even if you donвЂ™t like the song, you are viewing it. People view it only to say, вЂњArre kitna ganda gaaya hai, kaise lyrics hain!вЂќ ItвЂ™s unfortunate that these days a bad song has an advantage over a good one.Дo you mean peopleвЂ™s curiosity is the advantage that they enjoy?Д®xactly. We are living in times when a very funny and silly song - a non-song, so to speak - can have millions of views just because people will check it out. One that touches the greatest level of singing.

When people were mourning the loss of a young soul and blamed the movie mafia for it, I thought it was also important for them to know of an existing and bigger mafia that controls the music industry.ДЄt a time when the merit of a song depends on the number of views on video streaming platforms, what according to you makes a вЂgood songвЂ™? If something irks me, I will definitely speak up. IвЂ™m just being a witness to whatвЂ™s happening. Having said that, I donвЂ™t want to change much. Now, there are too many people involved in the process. We did have a relationship with labels but they were not providing us with playbacks in films.

Back in my struggling days, we used to pursue LaxmikantвЂ“Pyarelalji, Anu Malikji, Nadeem-Shravan and many big names in the industry for work. I do, however, wish that music directors had the ultimate rights for choosing a singer instead of music companies. I have a great life that I live on my own terms. But, IвЂ™m in a Zen-state of mind these days. Kehne ko toh bahut saari cheezein badalna chahunga. Today, if you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be? The disparity between a song that clocks a100 million views in two days and one that doesnвЂ™t even hit 20,000 views in one year, when they are both under the same label, is rather startling and telling. I have seen it happening in front of me - I know how easy and inexpensive it is. When it comes to making money, everyone knows views can be bought. But I believe in the correction that is automatically done by the universe. To call them mafia wouldnвЂ™t be an overstatement. Not everyone can rely on films or big labels, right? I have said it before - thereвЂ™s a very small group of people who control the music industry. This is why independent music is a great opportunity for the young, up-and-coming singers. With music labels producing singles by the dozen, do you think real talent is taking a backseat? Is the need to make money overpowering the need to make good music? These days, many singers are turning to auto tuning for playbacks. Personally, I have no problems with remixes, as long as proper credit is given to the original singer, composer and lyricist. The head of a music label that owns the rights to most of the classics told me that the demand for remixes has gone down exponentially.

I am not comfortable pulling off a stunt on TV - as a judge or otherwise.Дo you think there is a need for iconic songs to be remixed? There are people who switch the television off when thereвЂ™s too much drama. Having said that, poori duniya aisi nahin hai. There are takers and so there are providers. A huge section of viewers gets glued to their television sets because something crazy is happening on these shows. The audiencesвЂ™ attention span has reduced drastically owing to a steady flow of content. I donвЂ™t blame the production houses for their dramatisation.

Do you think such shows are becoming more dramatic and less realistic? Recently, a reality show you have judged previously was called out for its вЂunnecessary dramaвЂ™. Here, I donвЂ™t have to work too hard to be someone I am not. Mujhe nahin lagta ke Bengal ke reality shows ko masale ki zarurat hai. That speaks volumes about the reason behind it, right? I have been a guest judge on the said show in the previous years and was taken aback by the quality of talent. Though I donвЂ™t do Hindi shows anymore, I was happy to judge a Bengali reality show. However, you will soon be seen as one of the judges on a Bengali music reality show. You stayed away from reality shows after your last stint on Indian Idol. I'm looking forward to visiting Dakshineswar temple before flying back to Mumbai. That apart, IвЂ™m surrounded by Bengalis, so my love for the city knows no bounds. When you go to a place where your art is appreciated, you feel at home. For me, Maharashtra and Bengal are two places that are steeped in art and culture. And I believe artistes like us always enjoy coming to a place that has got its integrity right.
