People those who listen, should learn , how to listen to a song when it is done with the karoke. Especially, the people who are into singing, must know about it. And most of the time, people present their songs to get numerous comments on their post , rather than their own satisfaction of singing. Its my personal view, a creator should create something which is for his own self first than for others. Its nice , atleast i have read a post on this issue Jo :) Thanks !!

I agree that #3 is the most important one. I would like to mention one thing though, that the creator or composer of the song would have had some particular picture in his mind, which would have guided the singer to sing the way , in which the song is brought to us. So, it would be nice, if one could keep the "soul" ( I believe the soul of the song comes, not only from singers mind, but also from the mind of the creator of the song, unless you are both the creator and singer ) and add the variations to the song as they like. just my 2 cents or 1$ or whatever :-) regards Thahseen Hi Jo,

And I also agree with Kiranz that you should sing songs that you like the most, without worrying a lot about whether you have a Karaoke or not. Agreed having a background track helps you get into the mood but it becomes repetitive. Great post Jo, agree with you on everything you said, its really a tough job to please everyone.

I totally agree with you regarding the imitaion of the voice of the original singer. But, as a beginner I'm afraid to include my own variations and nuances that it should not lead to a False Creativity as Murali V mentioned in one of his posts. Very nice post jo..

Singers should seriously consider one more thing ..the possibility of rendering plain vocals/unplugged version with a sruthi as background.Its very sad hear the same karaoke cover versions a dozen times..:(, People are getting karaoke slaves,no good songs are getting rendered and even quality singers are not trying anything out of the box,just becuz of the reason that there are no karaokes are avialable. Very good post da..!

I too feel imitation is not at all healthy for today's competition. I think some exceptional legends who can reproduce their songs in live shows are K.S. Chithra and SPB who improvises and makes the song sound even better than the original. Your conclusion, I think 3 is the most important option and very very tough too as u said. Well said.
