Anil ji, I was just trying to see the trend in members opinions on this issue, that's why I have not even added my own opinion in this thread though I have expressed elsewhere in this group my views. But, adding here just to analyze your metaphor of an artist drawing a portrait. Artist makes a portrait on his free will, not under a commercial contract. Artist has not taken any money and had not given a brief of the situation for which his painting has to be there. He got some idea and created a painting. Thus, artist is not under any obligation to review his work on the basis of feedback. However, if it is a commissioned artist, say, you hire a painter to do draw your mom's or dad's portrait, or yourself's, and what he draws you don't like, you don't think that his portrait is expressing the qualities you would like to see on the pic face of your mom or dad, or on your own pic face. Of course, it is because you never briefed him properly beforehand what feel or expression you wanted in the portrait. But, whatever the history, if you don't like the portrait, you would rather expect the artist to touch it up, OR, you would tear off that painting, or dump that somewhere even after paying the artist full money, and you would commission some other artist and on and on, unless you get what you want. Customer is the king. for CWG theme song and other film songs, ARR signs a commercial contract, he is given a brief of each situation, and then he has to deliver a song for that, and gets some money. sorry for repeating it 3rd time, but ARR has retouched his work previously as per directors' requirements. Ranjha Ranjha has a film version that was not in the CDs, chiggy wiggy has got some indian voice version when some copyright issue had come up from Kylie's contract, I guess. Palanhare of lagaan has a film version had different voice than the CD version. Gopala of humse has muqabla has a different lyrics in film version (hindi) than in the cassettes. Many more, several previous examples are there when ARR has recognized that client (director, music company holding rights) can ask him to touch up his songs, and he did that. After all a film is a director's vision. And such accommodating nature had been a plus point of ARR's repute. And goes well with his politeness. Then? Why not now? > I don't think AR will re-improve or redo it. The other aspect is, Jai Ho's pussycat version might have gone more popular in foreign countries just because it was in a language they could understand. So, what if some other MD releases a remix version of CWG theme that gets more popular than ARR's original, say Himesh or Anu Malik or Pritam releases a remix CWG? Then, wouldn't it be a further war among skills of both the MDs? ARR's skills are undisputed, so it will be bad seeing some other MD of lesser skills getting prominence over him. > > -- > Anil Thanks. -- Rawat > > On Sun, Sep 5, 2010 at 7:17 PM, V S Rawat <vsra...@gmail.com > <mailto:vsra...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > Can we crystalize our views on this issue? > > Are you for or against ARR redoing CWG theme song? > > > -- > Rawat
