Vocals by SRK

Watching the opening of the Filmfare awards for the second time when aired just a couple of days back, a song sung by SRK began with lights, cameras and dance.
'Vocals by SRK, eh?'; went the jealous mongers again. This one little comment made me ponder and resort to Google for R&D.

'Singing' as sweet the word itself may sound is actually one of the most dreaded acts for most people. Imagine yourself relaxing in a room filled with your family and friends, and you are suddenly tapped on your back when pin drop silence floods the room; 'sing something for us', request the F & F's (Family and Friends). Most people did say they would just stare at the floor, blush, praying that they were spared. Some in turn asked the person placing the not-very-welcomed request to sing instead; 'You are a better singer any day. Let us all hear it from you'. This very person too rejects 9 out of 10 times.

So this very act of singing, which might seem so melodious when a master of singing sings, it does make many sound like toads croaking in embarrassment, it does make many sweat and stumble, and yes it does activate the hormone activated when the body senses threat or fear.

On the other hand, there are people who do anything and make that anything look good. So it's not the 'thing' that enhances their appeal, but they make the thing look beautiful. SRK is one such person. I'm sure not every non-singer can be aired on national television as he sings.
