A song and a dance

The results of the poll are out!

The third place goes to AB junior for his rap act in Bluffmaster - Ek main aur ek tu hai.

Though AB senior happens to have quite a few songs that are popular with the bar's bewdas and bewdis, the poll was to identify one song, and so he was a close second with Rang barse.

And, Aamir, just like the meaning of his name, leads the poll with his tapori rendition of 'Aati kya khandala'.

Yup, my vote went to Aamir too (one of the bewdas who couldn't comment from his office even sent me an sms to vote for Aamir, hehe!). The only problem I find is that Aamir's dance moves and expressions are so priceless in the video that you almost forget to appreciate his singing! Watch it!

I wonder if any digitisation was done though. I heard Kareena singing Dev's 'Jab nahin aaye they tum, tab bhi mere paas they tum' live at a show for army officers, and after that, I could only say 'Jab nahin gaaye they tum, tab hi theek they tum'.

In another awards ceremony I watched a few years ago, Aamir decided to do a live rendition of the Khandala song. I'm not too sure what he was thinking, but he dragged Rani Mukherjee up on stage as well. After listening to that, boy, am I glad they got Alka Yagnik for the original. But Aamir really rocked the song.

Oh by the way, Will Smith wasn't too bad either!

hmmm,
interestingly the votes have been gathered by new young comers.

While their was a time where you could not be a hero if you were unable to sing.

interesting to note though..

Man! If I were able to post a comment from office on the previous post, I would have gotten a GOLD! Damn! :(

Oh, you are tagged by the way :P

PizzaDude said...

Err... I got confused about the timing. I wouldn't have got the gold on the previous post. Oops!

dan said...

oh Aamir did sing himself?
cool! I love that song :)

Kanan said...

Khandala song's winner! yayyy that's cool but I got to add, "neela aasmaan so gaya" is probably the best song in this category for being a sad and slow song... oh wait, actually that and "piya banwri" (Ashok Kumar) would tie at the top for me. They're hard to sing.

I find "rang barse" sort of cheap, I'm sorry, fans. Didn't even know about the AB Jr song. I'll check it out.

As for the females, I think "kaahe chhed mohe" (Madhuri) would win hands down. That's not considering Suraiya/Geeta Dutt songs, btw. :)

Bhavya said...

Oh yes... Madhuri was totally great in the Kahe Chhed Mohe number. And she looked awesome too!

here i 'm said...

sob sob... :(
Chalo koi nahi.... Abhi still got the 3rd place :P

Amey said...

am I glad they got Alka Yagnik for the original.

Now you know why not a lot of actresses are asked to sing their own songs ;)

Rosh said...

Hmm.. I had totally forgotten abt the Khan.. and thus had voted for Jr. B.
And you guys are right! Aamir was fantastic!

Somya said...

I still think if judged only on singing capabilities...Amitabh Bachchan is much ahead of Amir and so is his number "neela asman". Its just that Aati kya is such a fundoo number that everybody likes it else listening Amir singing in his latest Samsung ads is quite a torture.

By the way, have you heard Juhi sing 'Chalo jaane do' from Bhootnath? With a bit of training, she can look at an alternative career in playback singing..

Seriously..check her out.

BTW, I re-inforce, reiterate, and retalia....sorry sorry, not retaliate..reinstate..

Hilarious blog hai aapka, Sita Maiyya! Am thankful I stumbled here..
