The CONTROVERSIAL Success of Lata Mangeshkar 

Who is your fav female singer, and why? Also like the video, it really helps the channel out!

I think you should edit the thumbnail a bit. It is a little misleading. The video is actually nice but thumbnail is like controversial Edit: I know what clickbait is, you can just add a question mark in the front of the bully, it still works.

1) i feel she knew her worth and asked for whatever she deserved in male dominated industry back then..... She was outspoken and aware of the love public had for her..... So obviously male composers must have been bitter about it..... But how is it her fault that movie producers wanted only her to sing for their movies??? 2) i understand the frustration of her female compititors and its surprising how no one questiones when kishore kumar, udit narayan, arijit were/are dominating the industry 3) personally, i like Asha's voice and songs more so would have appreciated if there was variety in female playback singers during that era

Asha was able to get out of her sister's shadow but sadly other 2 sisters couldn't .

Royalty is the correct issue. Singer must get royalty.

Apart from all the controversies her "Mere Vatan Ke Logo" is something which is out of this world🙌🙌

She came in my dream 15 days later after she passed away, she was sitting in farm house and i went near her and she given me an ashirwad for my music career it was vivid dream, i still remember that day when i woke up from it, may your soul rest in peace lata ma 🙏.

I didn't get why she was being referred to as a bully in the industry when the music directors themselves only wanted to work with her?

Until A.R. Rahman came and introduced a lot of singers to the industry, music directors were just repeating one or two singers for every era. Our people had such formulaic, herd mentality. The 50s, 60s and even the 70s predominantly belonged to Lata and Asha and that too Lata was reserved for the heroines and Asha for dance numbers. The 80s and 90s saw the likes of Anuradha Paudwal, Sadhana Sargam and Alka Yagnik sing for the leading ladies. Poornima and Hema Sardesai got very few songs, thanks to Anu Malik who thought a bit out of the box at least. The 2000s and 10s still had Sunidhi Chowhan and Shreya Ghoshal in the lead, but thankfully, the music industry turned into an even playing field in more recent years with innumerable number of singers getting opportunities to show case their talent, thanks to Rahman and Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

Click bait 🤨

It was the fault of Directors, producers who wanted same kind of music and voice for their movies. We know that Lata Mangeshkar is legend with having melodius voice. But if there would have been diversities of melody then it would have been more beautiful to know about different different kind of voices and their uniqueness, their abilities like We see today

In video, it's been said she's not classically trained. But she was classically trained by her Father as her first guru and then when she moved to mumbai, she started taking further lessons in classical music from Ustad Aman Ali Khan of Bhendibazaar gharana. What she regretted was not pursuing a full fledged career in classical.

might sound controversial but i can't bear the sweetness of lata ji, I have my utmost respect for her and I don't think I can even praise her but I find asha ji better(again it's just my opinion) because she has been more experimental in her journey with song like khatuba etc etc.

Misleading thumbnail...this is not bully or controversial, but she always worked on her own terms and conditions which is very commendable..no one can be like her..

Lata Mangeshkar : GOAT of Indian Film Industry.

You can't underestimate her voice her voice is actually unique and skills

Arijit voice also dont suit many heroz. Not a great play back singer imo. Actually playback singing died after 2003.

She is still a legend despite her controversies! 🐐🔥

I’m on Lata’s side. It’s sad that Asha Bhosle took her abusive husband’s side and didn’t even support her sister during the royalty situation esp after benefiting from her connections. Lata Mangeshkar was a force to be reckoned with. I think she understood that Asha Bhosle was trying to make a name of herself and did not have the influence and power to stand against other artists like her. Lata Mangeshkar will always be one of my idols.

You mentioned Devdas (1955) but the poster is of SRK's Devdas (2002)

The legend. The best duo SP Balasubramaniam and Lata Garu...

Lata mangeskar is real feminist and for this reason I respect her, because she stands for his rights❤❤

Lata ruined 90's songs?!!! What were people smoking then?

Veer Zara's song were so much better because it was her voice and that movie was released in 2000s.

Lata ji also defied the contemporary political ecosystem to go ahead and sing all of Veer Savarkar's poems as songs. Evergreen Marathi patriotic geet

No way Lata Mangeshkar didn't know classical music. God had to nerf her down so that others can survive.☹️

I remember....there was a serial which used to air on &tv, 7-8 years ago, the plot of the serial was highly inspired by the controversial lives of Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle P.S.- the name of the show was "meri awaz hi pehchan hai"

Now day's ganjedi kid's of this generation will trying to question her success 😔🙏21:57 wow

How is she not classically trained? You just mentioned she learnt from her father and then she had two more teachers..

Jab baat aati hai Royalties ki, I am neutral. I feel like Art shouldn't be treated like a business. However, there is also no issue with treating like a business. There is no right or wrong. 1960's era was so full of Lata's songs. Then in late 90s, Alka Yagnik dominated the music industry. And now, I think Shreya Ghoshal will hold that crown till next decade.

I don't think you need to bully people or play politics to get to the top when you have voice like LM, I mean have you heard her voice every time yashraj picture logo shows up, its like an angel is singing from the havens.

15:50 Absolutely true, lataji's voice didn't suit any actresses from 90s and 00s. Its also true that her voice had become so mature by 90s that most songs wud have sounded better if sung by younger singers

11:01 its आनंदघन not आनंदघान , आनंदघन means a cloud raining rains of happiness or joy!

Unhone Classical Music sekha apne Pitaji se lekin ek Performing Classical Vocalist nahi bani. Lekin unki Awaz me Raag Ras aur Rang Sabkuch hi Tha. Woh Sach much mein Sarawati Maa ka Bharat desh ko Vardan thi. Unke jitni achi awaz sirf Geeta Dutt ji aur Asha ji aur Begum Parveen Sultana ji ki hai

Composers deserves appreciation as singers... ..

In the first place, why is this video made after Latajis's death? It's not fair when an artist who is virtually revered by all Indians including the Prime Minister of the country, should be shown as a controversial one. What you should acknowledge today is the vast collection of songs that she has left behind for all the students of music and musical orchestra singers for their livelihood. All the Musical Orchestra sustain only on the popular songs of her time which people love to hear even today. To blame her for singing maximum songs during her prime was not in her hands, it was the job of the music directors. Why this 'Only Lata' question not asked to any Music Director instead? Likewise Music Director Naushad always took Mohamed Rafi only as a male voice in all his songs, did anyone question that? So stop creating all this controversy now and keep listening to the golden voice which will never be born again.

Lata asha , to date, have never encouraged , mentored , supported any upcoming talent rather they bullied and wiped rhem out of the music industry . Inspite of such a long illustrious careers they stayed away from charity or any pro bono work . They are greedy ,selfish n plain evil by literally destroying others' carrers over several decades

her 90's and 2000's songs are evergreen my most fav ❤️ her voice suited with every actress 🙏

Lataji was fantastic till the end of 80s ..after that her voice started getting a weird timber which was slightly irritating to the ears... The same happened with Yesudas the singer of the south... After 85-86 his voice started sounding funny due to excessive stretching of vocal chords for his carnatic concerts...He too had pulled down a lot of vocal talents in the film industry and had become more of a business man rather than an authentic artist of his genre... He had even criticised and suggested that Lata ji stops singing coz she started sounding funny but perhaps its karma or something, the next year of his criticism on Lata , his voice too started sounding weird...But at the same time we cant ignore their precious contribution to Indian film music ❤

Lata Mangeshkar didn't learn classical music😳😳😳 Damn 🤯

You should make video on the rise of writers in 70s-80s kader khan ,salim khan ,javed akhtar...

There are confessions of many singers claiming that she bullied them and made directors make her sing. check it out. she's great, but there were more people

Lataji, is a legend. Why are you calling her a "Bully"?

1st thing no one can become lata mangeshkar because every person is only once when someone ask didi about compare with herself her answer was "" you consider my talent as 19 and someone copy me and show talent 20 but sometimes in me special no one beat that because everyone have own charm "" no one beat didi . 2 . Please listen other singer live performance and listen sharply you definately find breathing but in lata mangeshkar concert no chance , Especially listen her Royal albert hall concert 1974 without autotune and any technology she sounded like pure honey 3. Who say didi not suitable for 90s without autotune Listen lekin album . 4 . if didi was jealous person then why she stop her name being nominated in filmfare award Especially she fight for it to start category for singers 5 . Once in EK SAFAR 1999 INTERVIEW Didi say that She not deserve such respect because she not do to much hardwork for this beside their are to many people much talented than me but god choice me I think it's her density and ashirwad by her father 6- remember lata didi anyone always remember her in white saree and diamond She never ware other clothes in outdoor, her way of keeping Maharashtrian tradition 7- besides film song she was 1st singer who record DYNESHWARI SHIVKAKYANRAJA BHAGWAT GEETA AND MORE I think her contribution are remember forever People who love her that it

No one is like Lata Mangeshkar

Among the sisters I always loved Usha ji most. She really mold herself to classic and pop music. Lata ji is more for older gen (grandparents and parents) while Asha and Usha ji changed their style to suit pop culture too.

LataJi pushed aside all the bullies and producers who tried to control her. She was the first lady singer who became a super star on her own merit. So I'm on her Team.

My favorite songs of her are from 'Aandhi' The duo of lata mangeshkar and Gulzar is the best for ever

Yes in 90s her voice became matured that innocence was not seen there in her voice but no doubt before that no words are there to describe her voice. Scientists say that they have researched such voice will not be created after

The one and only LATA MANGESHKAR will always be the greatest singer ever! Such a legendary voice is born once in a millennium years. With fame and success controversies come along. It is a shame to only pick on her how about the dominant male voice of Rafi. Why such questions are not raised about him.

It's a good starting point for someone really interested in the life story of Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar, but it's not even close to describing the kind of lady she was. She was one of the earliest artists to understand the worth of music. Even after recording 2-3 songs a day, she could hold a note so straight that it pierced between a hairline gap without touching it. Why wouldn't she ask for what she deserved? Even Asha Ji has said many times that it was Lata Mangeshkar's courage that got the artists their royalties. Her fights with Rafi Sahab, fights with Raj Kapoor were about their own terms and conditions of working, not about being uncompensated or poor quality work. This is what I feel: if one doesn't know about Lata Ji's upbringing, why she started working in the industry, the kind of politics played with her, the initial setbacks in the music industry, her willingness to improve, and the way she carried the family after her father's loss, I don't think it makes sense to even feel that she did something wrong from a zoomed-out view. I don't consider Lata Mangeshkar as a god; there will be many better singers than her. But whatever she may be, even if she's the most awful person, when she says 'Ishwar Satya Hai,' my heart forces me to believe that 'God is the only truth.' Or when she sings 'Bekas Pe Karam Kijiye Sultan E Madina,' my heart feels as if this is the right time to ask for a wish because if not for me, but for her heavenly voice, God will have to fulfill my wish.

Her conflict with Anuradha Paudwal is also quite well known. There are allegations against Lataji for snatching away songs which were supposed to be sung by Anuradha Paudwal

Many famous singers, who were colleagues of Lata Mangeshkar, got royalty because of Lata Mangeshkar; yet they criticized her. She was the boss... a true lone wolf... She fought alone against the establishment and everyone just enjoyed the fruits of her efforts, for free. Even the ones who opposed her when she wanted royalty, anyway took royalty when given! No wonder she was attacked and was made the villain, because she had the courage to challenge the industry and the order of power. For the same reason, there is propaganda against her even till this day. She is unique; she is a gem... more precious than the kohinoor and more beautiful than the Taj Mahal. Haters will have to live with this. ___________________ All music directors wanted her to sing their songs...some even had gone on record saying that they composed keeping Lata's voice in their mind... Greats like bade Ghulam Ali, pt Bhimsen, Noor Jehan, mehdi Hassan praised her openly... Jagjit sing even composed 'sajda' iust for Lata Mangeshkar to sing fir him... People of India had great taste at some point in time, now mediocrity has been democratized. Sad and disgusting.

From which articles do those excerpts belong which you shown in the vid;eo? Share me please!!!!

damn vedant is now consistent btw great video i personally think shreya ghoshal is the only female singer "now" who is very talented and is also loved by the audience but there is not beating late Lata mangeshkars voice

Asha bhosle was great ❤

Ok so first of all - She's a goddess of music 🎶👑... And second of all - na lata maa se behtar koi tha na hai na koi hoga ❤❤❤. And last mein yahi kahunga jo log is devi ke baare mein galat sochte hai galat bolte hai...ganda arop lagate hai...un logon se zyada ghatiya log koi nahi hai... bhagwan maaf na kare inko ...chullu bhar paani mein dub mare ❤❤❤ Because man ...not only a great singer she was but also a very inspiring personality, very kind, no egoistic. Jinke saath unhone kaam kiya sabko woh pyaar respect deti thi❤❤sabko pata hai unke simplicity k baare mein..no show off, no luxurious life style. Kitna mehnat kiya tha unhone male dominated industry mein apna naam banane k liye , kitne rejection mile yeh kehkar ki she had thin voice... unhone kya kya nahi kiya singers k liye... filmfare awards k liye awaaz uthayi & royalty k liye. Aur bhi bahut logon k liye bahut kuch kiya hai lata maa ne. Kitne hi concerts kiye funds k liye. She was first Indian artist who performed in the royal Albert hall. Lata maa ko respect dete huye bahut countries ne lata maa awards se nawaja hai. She had six doctorate degree 5 from Indias big universities and 6th one is from the York University Toronto. Aur log bolte hai she destroyed careers... like seriously 😤😒 Why would she ? First of all woh industry mein late '40's thi jab suman kalyanpur ji, Anuradha ji, Hemlata ji ka existence nahi tha aur jab woh log aye the industry mein aaye the tab humari lata maa already bahut successful ho chuki thi then why would she need to destroy others careers. woh toh bas apna kaam kar rahi thi aur ha saare music directors, actors, producers jab chahte the ki sirf lata maa hi unke k liye gaaye jab woh hi unki pehli choice thi then lata maa thodi hi mana karengi unka request geet gaana yeh sochkar oh nahi mere gaane se dusro ko kam kaam milega. No right? Lekin murkh log is chiz ko negative way mein le lete hai aur is devi ke baare mein hatred, false rumours spread kar dete hai. Kitni dukh ki baat hai ki jis gayika ne apna pura Jivan sangeet mein samarpit mar diya, film industry ko saup Diya. Pure duniya Indian music ko pehchan dilaya usi devi ke upar gande arop lage hai 😢💔kuch toh bolte hai unhone apni beheno ko age badne diya 😢are bhai lata ji ne chhote umr se hi un sabko apne bachho ki tarah pala tha bada kiya ..woh aisa q karengi . Koi bhi nahi karta apne behno k saath 😢 grow up ppl. Aur agar kuch kiya hota asha ji kya itni badi gayika hoti aaj ...she equally big like lata maa ❤❤...so ppl Stop spread this false rumours.😢❤also some stpd ppl says she doesn't deserve bharat ratna. Bro listen she deserves more than Bharat Ratna..Aur ha khud bharat ratna ki izzat bad gayi uska naam the goddess lata maa k saath juda 😤😌👑🙏✨ And listen bro video toh achha banaya hai but thoda aur research kiya karo..unka madan mohan ji ya Kishore da k saath kabhi jhagda nahi hua tha . matlab kuch bhi bolte ho. Aur hah 90s k actress k saath unka awaaz nahi jachta tha ...are sht up. Hume toh kabhi aisa nahi laga hume toh 90s k gaane bhi utne hi pasand hai jitne unke 50s60's k ...ya toh tum log behre ho jo lata maa ke awaaz pe question uthate ho. Grow up

Runa Layla is Beloved in Bangladesh, she didn't needs hindi songs

For this type of issues which is why we should separate art from artists so that we could criticise when they do wrong while praising the music and contribution

70 to 90 is just sad era of Cinema and Music . Repetitive things Born In 93, All I remember Lata ji is from Rang de Basanti with AR Rehman for Luka Chuppi and it was magical

I personally see mohd rafi ji as a fakir, unki soch waisi hi thi ekdum hi minimalistic insaan aur kafi achhe, and Lata ji ka point on royalty valid tha

Her success is fully deserved... Peace

bro is more consistent than congress nowadays

Hey Vedant, I know the pronounciation of Lata Ji's brother name might be new to you as its a common marathi name. Its called as Reedainaath

Runa laila in Bangladesh always have been denied Such acquisition that LM did any politics Against Her in Mumbai

it doesnt matter whether you have praised her or not or what you have told about her in this video, but bro you have to change the thumbnail of ths video!!! cuz it sucks!!! its kinda demeaning the stature such an iconic and inspirational, respected and THE WORLDS GREATEST SINGER Lata ji

When someone achieves something extraordinary through talent and hard work, we can always expect hundreds of youtubers and other social media 'acheivers' to produce videos downplaying their greatness. They don't have to spend thousands of hours to reach excellence and recognition someone worked hard for. Appreciate your effort to make the video.

Legend ek hi bar paida hota hai… bharatratna lata ji music industry ki legend thi.

i think we can call shreya ghoshal as todays generation lata mangheshkar

Great video bro ...I would like to see more videos on singer like Zubeen Garg who sang Ya Ali , Jaane Kya, etc and why he left bollywood

Lata ji’s voice in 90s was so peaceful and calmed . She added value and weight to music albums of 90s . At that time she was no more a singer but a BRAND ! Ever listened to O palanhaare ?

Nothing in this world can challenge the combination of talent and hard work and Lata was the example

There can on;ly be one Lata Mangeshkar. ---------- VANI JAYARAM.

Lata Mangeshkar was a staunch nationalist and a supporter of Savarkar. She also publicly appreciated the Ayodhya Ram Lalla Mandir judgement of 2020. Hence, the mudslinging by the leftist cabal. We are proud of Lata ji!

I don't appreciate the title and the thumbnail of this video. Don't call her a bully. My humble request.

Bro the thumbnail is disrespecting the legend. Please don't use such thumbnails. We all know what kind of lady she was so...

Amitabhi bachchan and salman khan are no less bully

Bhai, badhiya research and awesome video.Keep up the good work.

Hip Hop Culture vs Good Music her reply was very sweet: "Sur na ho to mujhe takleef hoti hai"

And 1 one biggest reason is leta mangeskar was a proud Hindu nationalist 🧡 from Maharashtra

Vedant brother one video on Jaya Bhaduri ji. She was so talented, eloquent and elegant. How life has changed her so much...

Bhai lata jesa talent Kisi ke pas nahi hai unho ne Apne talent ke base pe yeh maqam hasil Kiya hai unki awaz unka Andaz unka Kamal Andaz unki kamyabi ke wajah bani

suna hai tun tun bhi bahut accha gati thi , par unko kuch khila diya gaya --- tuntun ka ek gana "afsana likh rahi hu , dil-e-bekaraar ka , aankho me rang bharke , terey intzar ka " --- ye itna popular hua tha ki lataji tuntun ki success se der gayi thi --- ab mai iske pichey kya sach hai kya jhooth ye to nahi keh sakta --- par mere bachpan ke dino mai ( i am 55yrs old now, and a fan of lataji ) ye baat khoob chali thi !

Now we know why every movie had their voice such as muhabbatain

Mr Ghulam Haider from Pakistan was Lata Mangeshkar's godfather.. how many people knew that, and imagine if this was in today's day and age 🤷🏻‍♀️ e will be a riot if she admitted him being her godfather

Lata ji & Asha ji both are the goddess 🛐

Renowned singer usha uttup once said in an interview how Lata manageshkar deliberately used to avoid her which broke Ushaji's heart.

0:03 The song lag ja gale is from the movie "woh kaun thi" The movie "woh jo haseena" has little same title lyrics which is "lag ja gale se aye tanhai...'

ज्या विषयात आपल्याला अक्कल नाही त्याबद्दल बोलू नये

Lata jee is a legend and so are you 🌺The research, delivery, themes, topics, titles and thumbnail designs 👏🏼love your channel. Keep shining

Do a video on goat KK Sir. He's the best male voice and we also lost him in the same year as of Lata g

Ralph Waldo Emerson famously said "To be great is to be misunderstood". Lata ruled the hearts of MILLIONS. Nobody will point out Asha's 90s song, Suresh Wadekar's voice not fit for many actors same applies for Nitin Mukesh etc (without questioning their singing abilities, which btw i am a fan of). So its common. Lata Mangeshkar is Great. Final Words.

your story-telling abilities, the research and the script, is what sets you apart....

I think the 1st vedio clip is from Movie wo kaun thi not wo jo hasina And she is sadhana mam

In 90s lata and asha ji only sang 20 to 30 percent of all decade and those songs are perfect in all manner and result of determination of movies director and music composer for specific choice of singer and nothing is wrong in it. And once again all songs sung by lata ji in 90 are outstanding.

I was about to say you wrong words but thankfully I watched whole Video then. Lata Mangeshkar & Asha Bhosle are great institute of playback singing. They are Masters. Lata & Asha are Pride of Nation. Everyone listen their beautiful and immortal songs. No one can replace them.

cassette and vinyl sale would also be another reason. If i am not wrong back in the day these sales act as a secondary or parallel income by which movies which flopped also could make some money back. Having lata mangeshkar on the song, who is widely know (by that time) and established might help them sell it. Kind of optimising the factors. But then again the question becomes then y didn't we see similar situation with male singers?

It's the first time I got to know that she had so many controversies. No wonder why this Bollywood pushes people as saints despite them having dark reality

World's best singer lata ji ❤

Lata ji sing in 90s era evergreen songs specially when she sings for yash raj film company and rajsri production .. that era was magical era .. i love and miss her so much respect u lata ji ❤bharat ratna...love from NEPAL🇳🇵🇳🇵till now all young generation love her voice ... i think that is not monopoly she ruled bollywood becoz all people love her voice crazily and undoubtedly all actrees and filmmaker film distributor musician lyricst want a sing song for them... that called stardom and successive career of magheskar sister not a monopoly😪😥😏 So respect them 🙏🙌
