In the animal kingdom the males have the special features, manes, plumes, colors, feathers, tusks, horns and whatnot to attract the females.
But in human race it is always the female which tries to attract the male.
The male singers appear in a white shirt / simple kurta and look presentable.
Why is it that the female singers have to apply heavy make up, dress in matching colors from top to toe and come loaded with matching jewelry in addition to all these???
Often these things distract the audience (the ladies for sure) from enjoying the music!!!
When the heroine is selected to act in a movie it is made sure that she remains beautiful - even when she sheds glycerine tears.
After all that is what a heroine does - besides running around trees chased by the hero.
Somethings are good to be seen and others are good to be heard.
My father used to say that children are made to be seen and NOT heard. They are angelic to look at but their cry is devilish.
Some singers are to be seen and not heard and a few other are to be heard and not be seen.
So I close my eyes and just keep my ears open when I listen to the concerts by such persons.
Minus the scintillating puccaa (well rehearsed and well synchronized)
pucca-vaadhyams and minus their colorful clothes and blushing make up, most of them will fail miserably to enthrall the audience with their natural sight and sound.
One reason can be most of the sponsors of current Music Programs are Big Clothing Shops( Silk Saree Shops to be specific ) and Jewellers and so they must me indirectly advertising their products through these musicians . The big banners behind the artiste will reveal who the main sponsors are .Why is it that the female singers have to apply heavy make up, dress in matching colors from top to toe and come loaded with matching jewelry in addition to all these???

1. Oh! Have you not seen some fashion conscious male singers? At least they put a decorated shawl on their laps!........ 1. The male singers appear in a white shirt / simple kurta and look presentable.

Dear Renu,............ A singer is not merely a voice..he/she should be a performer and be expressive on stage to capture audience.
Music is not only an auditory delight..it is a delight for all our senses..so do not shut your eyes.
Dear VR ji,
I do not think female humans need to attract males humans..males will follow females anyhow.
In fact keeping them away is more difficult to handle!LOL
It is kind of a false believe that a female dresses up attractively to attract a male.
I do not think so..if you ask me why I love dressing up..my answer will be cos "if I look presentable I feel better and more confident"..that's all ..nothing really for any male!
Dear VR ji,
Why not keep eyes open and watch the expressions of the singers?
Some singers have a slight smile as they sing and that is nice to watch cos then we know that they are enjoying the song and not just preforming mechanically.

You have yourself mentioned below whom it is mostly targeted for
Today in Cricket you can see how many Logos and Stickers around a Batsmen's T-Shirt , Bat , Gloves , Helmet , Pads etc .Sunil Gavaskar said during their times i.e in 70s/early 80s this was not there but after Televsion became very popular and facility for close up shots came , lot of sponsors found an excellent "Ad Space" on the body of the players themselves and hence all these Logos ,stickers all around a player and his kit .
The same principle can be extended to Classical Music Concerts also with wide TV Coverage of the same and also webcasting it live to people world over .

2. Nalli and other silk stores are there to give WOW sarees to the singers. Now there is a Nalli jewelry too!
3. Do you know that many Sing. Chennai mAmis go to the concerts to find out what new colors saree and jewels are there
in the market? :spy:
Dear Renu,
Very true. I love to see and listen to Priya Sisters! They are a lovely pair of singers.
If we wish only to listen, there are programs on the radio and many pre-recorded cassettes and CDs.
What about the girl who has to play the role of boy also??? :noidea:
Dear Renu,
I myself had written earlier that women dress up ONLY to make the other women go green with jealousy.
I have seen many times the dramatic transformation that comes over women when they wear good clothes and jewels.
Well put sir! :clap2:
So the players and performers become mobile ad boards-
with or without their knowledge.
More than sports and music are being promoted / pushed up by the sponsors!!
The public learn more about the top quality products from their heroes and divas.
Three birds in a single stone!!! :thumb:
Dear VR ji,
I disagree... I do not really think that we women dress up to make other woman jealous.
I still feel most of us dress up for ourselves.
Yes you are right when we dress well..we feel more confident but I do no feel confidence is the same as arrogance.
Arrogance is a sign of low self esteem most of the while.
