We regularly see music composers singing their own songs. It is quite natural and there is nothing wrong in singing the song by themselves as they know music better than everyone else. Maestro Ilayaraja might have composed thousands of tunes but he sang selectively without going overboard. Mani Sharma never entered singing and stuck to composition. AR Rahman and Keeravani give their vocals if it’s absolutely necessary and the song demands their unique vocals.
RP Patnaik used to sing most of the songs by himself and it worked for a couple of years before the audience got bored as every song felt the same. Chakri faced the same issue despite having a very good voice. Thaman used to sing regularly but he limited himself for the last couple of years. Anirudh Ravichander also sings a lot of his own songs and even sings for other composers as well. But his voice has a huge fanbase.
The situation is different for Rockstar Devi Sri Prasad. His interesting voice is not impressing the audience nowadays. With the same voice, Devi delivered some of the biggest hit songs in the last decade or two. Starting from ‘Udayinchina’, ‘Andamaina Bhaamalu’, ‘Nannaku Prematho’, ‘Super Machi’, ‘Darlingey’ to many others, it was his vocals that brought a lot of energy and vibrance. Even Keeravani made him sing a couple of songs in ‘Sye’ and ‘Ramadasu’.
But people started disliking his voice and the meme culture in the past couple of years turned this dislike into hate. He is not singing every song but his voice is being used in chorus or one song in an entire album or so but it is being trolled heavily. Recently, ‘Boss Song’ faced a lot of heat as the promo had only DSP’s part. But the audience cooled off once the entire song came out. For the second song too, Chiru leaked a small part of the song which had DSP’s vocals in it. The song is actually sung by Adnan Sami. But the trolls began once again.
It looks like the audience developed hatred towards Devi Sri Prasad’s voice even though they are still listening to his blockbuster songs every day. The trolling culture is magnifying everything and making it look like Devi hasn’t delivered a single hit album in ages while the biggest hit album in the last 5 years was from Rockstar DSP. While the Telugu audience are busy trolling him, he is now slowly getting busy in Hindi. He already gave music for ‘Drishyam 2’ and his song from Ranveer Singh’s ‘Cirkus’ will be released on Friday.
