UNCOMFORTABLE WITH CHILDREN'S LOVE SONGS - Page 4

i understand what you mean i guess the overly matured love songs seem a bit awkward 4 the little contestants 2 sing but these songs are the ones that bring out passion and feel in their singing and they put a sense of emotion in this song which is good to learn for further future singing as u get olde.r i agree it seems a little odd but wat can u do. they sung nice love songs though

i agree wid u.. at dis age when da children are suppose to enjoy der life da most dey hafta sing songs for competitions.. and to prove demselves from sucha young age.. THTZ DISGUSTIN i mean dey are kids leave em alone...

i completely agree with you....i'm sure the teenagers like sanchita and shradda might be as uncomfortable as us...but the younger ones like gurupreet - i don't even think she knows the entire meaning of what she's singing. the passion/feeling she adds into her voice is not exactly natural; she probably just copies the original singer because she's simply too young to know those kinds of feelings...

Sound check: Tune in to kids' stuff

You can hardly blame children for crooning songs that don't befit their age – where are the songs meant for kids' ears? LT explores

WHEN a kid no older than six croons Jhalak dikhla ja a trifle proudly in front of his parents and other adults, can you really blame his mother Simrat Makhija for squirming and wishing her ward had more innocuous numbers in his repertoire? Something like Nani teri morni ko, Ladki ki kaathi or Jungle jungle baat chali hai or even a catchy Panga na le from Makdee.
But you can't blame the kids either! Children
may be the focus of the Indian advertising world nowadays but the music industry is still to grow up to the idea of churning out kids' stuff. Says Makhija, "My son is talented and imitates popular numbers that he watches on television these days. But how I wish there was good music for children in the market! Thanks to no such options, most kids emulate singers and songs meant for grown-ups."
But hope is at hand. "Why should children be made to sing songs that are meant for adults?" parries Raageshwari Loomba, actress and singer who is planning a music album for kids. "Instead of singing about romancing actors and wooing girls, which is what lyrics revolve around these days, they should be singing about things befitting their age. A child's world is so beautiful, full of imagination and fantasy which is what they must learn to enjoy in music as well," she adds.
True. And so when movies like Krissh and Koi Mil Gaya (KMG), taking a leaf out of that wonderful world of a child's imagination come along, they click well with all audiences, especially children. Explains Rakesh Roshan, Bollywood director and the maker of these films: "Kids are far more intelligent than we are prepared to believe. The theme and
concept of what is being doled out to them must be in keeping with their idea of entertainment. For both, Krissh and KMG, I used music that was soft coupled with simple lyrics and the results were phenomenal. The success of both films has reiterated my belief that when you cater to kids' tastes, you cut across age and actually cater to the whole family. By entertaining children I end up reaching out to the whole world, so the sense of responsibility is huge."
Kailash Kher, who has lent his voice to songs in the children's animation film Hanuman feels, "The film industry has immense potential as far as kids' entertainment is concerned. But
is the society ready to accept it as such? Since children are a part of the system, the demands of the society are forced upon them. We need role models to nurture the fertile imagination of a child and that is what is lacking today."
Obviously then, this is no child's play! Ask Gulzar sa'ab, who has penned apparently simple and effortless lyrics for children – he should know!
