Anon, I'm a big SRK fan. It doesn't come across? Perhaps we make fun of people we are fond of a bit too much.

If I ran into Salman, Aamir, Hrithik and SRK I would get Salman's address book, sign Aamir as director, sign Hrithik as the star and dance with SRK.

I can't believe I've been around this place for like 2 days and I still can't spot any Shahrukh fans!

How disappointing.=[

Aspi,how do you feel about Shahrukh?Don't be diplomatic or anything.I won't be hurt even if you talk shit about him=]I'm a very understanding person you see:)

svr, the quality of her live singing isn't an issue. Its the image she projects. Sunidhi's fun, bindaas image (not to mention huge list of item songs) gets her more attention on the stage. That is all there is to it.

Aspi, I for one am still puzzled. I poked around a bit on YouTube, and couldn't find any real issues with Shreya's live singing... Sure, she doesn't whip up the frenzy that Sunidhi does, but it's also an side-effect of the kinds of songs she sings, no? It's easy to get the audience crazy with Sajnaji Vari Vari. Not really with say, Barso Re... (Maybe the music power list will answer this too!)

If Shreya can build a significant reputation as a live performer, she'll climb up that ranking. Otherwise no.

2008-08-15T18:44:00.000-05:00

Ha, okay, I'll look forward to the list! In the meantime, I'll ask the obvious question: Shreya's not higher?

2008-08-15T16:10:00.000-05:00

svr, good spelunking! The way people in the music biz have explained it to me: ARR comes first, the rest duke it out for #2.

If you asked me to rank the composers I'd go: ARR, Pritam, SEL, V-S, Himesh.

The singers would go: Sonu, Shaan, Sunidhi, Sukhwinder, KK.

Heck, I *really* need to work on that music power list. Keep running out of time :)

Er, I meant, any comparisons rediff likes to make in ranking! I think they could dump their reporters in favour of google insight.

2008-08-15T16:02:00.000-05:00

Ha, Aspi, awesome!!! I think this round-up of popularity in Bollywood beats anything rediff throws around! :D

BTW, inspired by deep, I poked around a bit and discovered that Himesh Reshammiya is way higher than I thought he'd be. Rahman and Lata Mangeshkar are marginally higher, and Shaan and Sonu are much higher. But I didn't find anyone else!

Thoughts? Any other artists above Himesh? :D

Happy Independence Day to all Indians and Pakistanis[if anyone is around here]
and Happy Raksha Bnadhan too[if they do wish that way!!]

You should see the BAH spl episode of Dus ka Dum.i never liked Ranbir soo much before.he was such serious types...over-thinks about everything.his sense of humour seemed so good though he din't talk much.and he wasn't afraid at all to say anything that he wanted to.about whoever it maybe.and the way he gets soo excited when he dances.all the seriousness just vanishes.i din't see his movie and have no plans of seeing BAH but for the person he seemed to be i really wish he does well:)

let me say that Katrina probably got more search results because it is a more popular name... than say aishwarya or preity or kareena.. it doesn't necessarily mean "Katrina Kaif" was searched..

hey Hurricane Katrina! hello!!
