Music is a media which touch the soul of human and it brings a solace and peace which is unparallel with anything else.I take my shelter in music which takes away all my blues for a while .Very recently Colbie Calliats music touched my heart.
Colbie is a young artist who debuted in 2007 with her hit single 'Bubbly' which was fabulous and then it was 'Realize' and very recently her 'Fallin for you' single was a hit.Her voice is soothing and gives you a kind of meditative peace.She is not the kind to crave for attention thats why she might not be as famous as lots of other singers but definitely once you hear her voice you cannot forget it.Among the young artists I see lots of new names who just popp into fame and then go to oblivion without trace.But there are none like Aretha Franklin,Barbara Streisland,Tina Turner,Celine Dion or Whitney Houston who ruled for decades. They ruled for their voice their music and not for their antic stage shows.Their songs still touch your heart and gives you a comfort.Among them I am a big fan of Whitney Houston whose powerful voice takes you to a different world.
American Idol is a show which is helping lots of youngsters to get fame and name.But sometimes it seems these singers only sing for that particular show or prticular moment to get the ticket.Because then where is 'Rubin' or 'Kelly' or 'Carrie Underwood'?We see them sometimes in red carpet with beautiful dresses or making headlines for various other reasons.But where is the music?I believe voice is gifted and you cannot create or advertise it.
In Indian music also there has been no Lata Mangeskar yet, inspite of huge improvement in media entertainment,talent shows and musicals .She is still the only one whose voice remained unparalleled in musical history.She is very truly the Nightingle of eastern music.In recent times I believe Shreya Ghosal voice has a soothing note which is entertaining. At the end of the day we can say Musical talents are born and cannot be created.
