Great show Rajanbabu ! So finally you managed to start something :-) And although you got a good reply from Sami, you did manage to disturb him with the "lack of bandwidth" funda, so congrats :-) I generally avoid KK-Rafi fan combats, because they tend to have the following pattern :-) KKFan : It is obvious that KK was the best singer ! Better than your Rafi !! RafiFan : (perplexed) Obvious ? but how ? KKFan : Of course. He kicks ass. And mightyly. RafiFan : (still perplexed) But how does that say anything about singing abilities ? KKFan : I mean he pours emotions in his songs. RafiFan : (slightly interested) Can you elaborate please ? KKFan : Naturally. The way he laughs in between, his famous yodeling, the way he could say "kukru kuku" etc. RafiFan : But what about singing. What you said above, can be done in a better way by Johny Lever. What about SINGING ? KKFan : (annoyed) Come now. Have you ever seen him singing ? He really used to dance while recording his songs. RafiFan : But I prefer to HEAR somebody sing, rather than SEE him singing. What about his singing abilities ? KKFan : He was a genius. He could act, he could dance, he could direct movies. He was ultimate. He had 4 wives, you know ! RafiFan : But my dear freind, let's discuss SINGING please. KKFan : You don't understand anything about music. Your Talat had a palindromic name. RafiFan : (??) But I am a Rafi fan. I don't care how anybody spells a name. I would like to know why you think KK was better. KKFan : Don't dare you start a flame war ! Our KKFanClub has a lot more members. You will be blasted off the net. RafiFan : (amused) But let's just discuss. eg. How good was KK while singing classical based songs ? KKFan : Ah ! I knew you would come to this point. We are well aware that KK didn't have a formal training. RafiFan : But is it Rafi's fault ? KKFan : (trying to think) No .. I mean .. Yes. No. No. But he was good in every other aspect. And why should everybody sing those Naushad songs ? KK was more lively singer, he could put emotions into every song. Remember that "kukru kuku" ? RafiFan : (exasperated) There is no hope. I give up. KKFan : You see, you see. I knew I would win. You Rafi fans have no point on which you can argue. Ha ha ha, KK the greatest ! (shouts ... shouts and just shouts ... ) So dear KKfan, if you have anything more than this ... :-) :-) Samibhai, let's join hands for immersing KKFC in hot water for once and all, then we will discuss SJ :-) - Abhay. The Never-ending-story begins !
