Live studio recordings are tough, to do and to watch. It's never
easy on one's backside, but then, it all depends on who is
performing and how they are doing so. If it's your favourite
music/film or drama artist, it makes it seem like one long,
fun and thrill packed joy ride. For the hordes of school and
college going youngsters, witnessing the recording of the Atif
Aslam Look Alike Sing Alike contest organized by the music
channel Aag and to be in such close proximity to their favorite
singing sensation was just that. The energy in the studio was
electric and tangible, reaching the height of madness once Atif
made an appearance (a good two hours late of course, but
then, better late then a no show.)
Back in the dressing room, the Look alike Sing alike boys were
rushing back and forth, getting into outfits that Atif's brother
Shahbaz Aslam had designed for them and practicing their
singing. Shahbaz designs all of Atif's clothes and oversees
the Atif look that has become such a sensation. And the Atif
look-alikes were trying to emulate that in the cutest of ways.
Atif Aslam is a phenomenon. He commands a cult following
that is devotional and has these kids looking up to him like
they do to no one else. He is the Imran Khan and the Nazia
Hassan of out times. Breaking records, creating a mammoth
fan fare and making music history like Pakistan has never
seen before. One could argue that the colossal media
revolution has a big hand to play in this, nevertheless, credit
should be given where it is due. Though criticized for being off
key by one too many critics, Atif Aslam has proved he is a
force to reckon with. His consistency, spot on album releases
and energetic live performances have made him the darling of
the majority.
"This is absolutely amazing. I really did not expect this,"
Atif Aslam said at the event. "It is a great concept but it
should have been just Atif Sing-alike and not Look-alike. It is
nice to know these boys are following my music so much but
it would be great for them to develop their own styles and
voices," said the star.
