SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

Well, it might be because of the little fact that he's hot but whatever. It's not often that you get to hear actors sing, because after the nice voices that you hear in movies, reality may not be as melodious. But one of them who did give it a go is John Abraham, who sang live for an audience to promote his new film Aashayein. The story is told by Aashayein's executive producer,

"It was simply crazy," "We hadn't planned a big music launch and we certaintly had no clue there was another music launch (for Love Story 2050) the same evening. We just wanted to do something different. So we thought of making all the singers including John perform their tracks from Aashayein live on stage. We never thought there would be such a massive turn-out, or that John would take his first live performance so seriously." "I think we underestimated John's pull. And his pursuit of excellence. I thought he'd come on stage croon a few lines, shake his hips in tight trousers, blow kisses and melt into the night. No way. John arrived at 3 in the afternoon for the technical rehearsal. By the time the evening came he was fully prepared. And so was the audience. It was all calm peaceful and romantic with a 3,000-strong audience waiting quietly by the seaside." "And then it happened," "John sang Ab mujhko jeena. There was a deathly silence and then the roar 'Once More Once More' began.- until it grew into a deafening crescendo. Salim-Suleiman's band had already packed up and left. They had to be called back to unzip their equipment and accompany John's singing."

That sounds like fun and well done to John for not refusing the crowd...ah, this was a really simple post to write.
