I attend a lot of musical programs as part of my job, “Aaitihasik Live concert” was one of those. Lochan Rizal, Aastha and Uglyz performed at BICC ground. I wasn’t impressed with the Uglyz’s performance but was amazed to see the crowd go crazy about them. As soon as they appeared on the stage teens got out-of-control and when they started singing the audience also sang with them. They knew all the songs of Uglyz by heart “Uglyz… Sarun… Uglyz… Sarun” chanted the teenage crowd.
On the backstage with some renowned artists I discussed about the current music scenario. They too were surprised to see craze of Uglyz, what puzzled them more was the audience’s failure to understand music of Lochan Rizal. Being a musician myself I can touch the feelings of Lochan’s song… the depth in it and the hardness and apex of it.
But those who don’t have this knowledge can’t understand Lochan’s songs and his music. 
After the show ended there was a huge mass of fans of Uglyz behind them for autograph and only a few behind Lochan and other renowned artists present. I was about to leave the ground when a loud voice got my attention, a lady was shouting at Sarun… “Sarun, I don’t give a shit about u! You li** my a**, Fu** u Sarun…” and bla.. bla.. bla.. That was none of my business why she was saying so to him.
I came back home and listened to their album. Besides two songs most of the songs were very boring. The pronunciation was so poor that I could hardly understand the words. The question that bugged me was why then are they so popular? When there are many singers with better vocal, composition and strong lyrics, and yet have not been able to make it as big as the Uglyz. I thought for few hours and the only reason I could come up with was the fact that all the members of the band are handsome! I was even surer of my weird conclusion when I recalled some of the audience saying “Wah Kya handsome cha Sarun ta, Kaash usko huna paye ta..” How else could a band with a debut album (RUSH) released on February 05 with “Aaudai Jadai, as the best song could have teenagers claiming Sarun as their favorite singer and Uglyz their band. (I have no problem with them doing good business, as it always feels good to see new artists doing well in the market).
So anyone trying to enter the field of music… think twice before you jump into it. Since our musical industry has undergone tremendous change. Look yourself into the mirror and judge if you have the looks too, to make it big in this field, aside from the vocal. It doesn’t matter if you have quality songs or not. And those who have quality songs, but not the looks, then you just can give a try to your luck.
