okay.i was asked NOT to post this blog(read,persistently forbidden).
but ive never been the goody goody girl who listens to people and resists the overwhelming urge to bitch.
lets face it.im typical.and bitch i will!!!
James performed at O.A.T today.there was an amazing footfall and you could see "dudes" sporting bandanas and 'iron maiden' tshirts flanked by bimbettes wearing excessive make up and a lot of other stuff im sure i know nothing about.
but thats hardly my point here.apparently the whole fanfare and frenzy would give anybody an idea about how 'beeg' this whole event was.being essentially curious we decided to check it out.having heard "na jaane koi,kaisi hain ye zindagani.." before,I,personally had a grudge against this guy.but i decided to go nonetheless.
and although the crowd swayed,cheered,hooted and smoked up in turns,the performance left me appalled!
i mean,that was one of the shittiest performances ive watched till date barring inferno's(who,allegedly, paid to get onstage and was literally dragged down later!) and that goes to say volumes about the aura that has been woven all around this phenomena called "James".
and though i do admit,i am a layman when it comes to music i still demand that the stuff i heard was crass.the lyrics was weird and in some places insanely funny not to mention that i was rolling my eyes through the major portion of the concert.
but what was spectacular was the audience reaction.the crowd loved it and they made it evident in more ways than one.
im not one who jumps to conclusions but im telling you this,the kolkatans have heard better stuff than this.the reason why i call the whole thingie appalling is precisely because of this.if the crowd really knows its music and is indeed spoilt for choice(which they are-there are a good many bands lurking here and there and they are way better than this.i swear!)then why the jaw dropping footfall?
the fact that James suddenly made it big after that one song in a hit-shit
bolly flick,isnt all that you need to judge his potential.
my friends,who also happen to be veterans in music and seriously 'know their stuff' asked me to study his stage presence and singing prowess which,if you ask me,hugely comprised a lot of unnecessary head banging and brow raising gyrations.
but then,thats what is "kewl these days' and the crowd predictably followed suit.

im convinced that i might as well be sued if this blog ends up in the hands of serious James fanatics.but well,ive always called spade a spade and this blog wasnt intended to hurt anybodys feelings or impose any of my ideas onto any one of you.
