Hola friend!

Let's Rock the Party Come on everybody , come on everybody...
I came across this song few days back on weekends and loved the beats so much that I could not stop myself from singing. OH YES I DANCED TOO!! I had to really work hard on this song from creating backing track to singing and adding effects that would match the original song somehow. This is an energetic dance song from movie 'Aa Dekhen Zara' (2009) sung by Sunidhi Chauhan. Sunidhi must be using atleast a dozen RED BULL bottles (or perhaps ecstasy pills who knows ) before singing such songs! I've used Flanger, Chorus and Harmony as special effects and all the song/chorus is in my voice except the last bit where female chorus was used as part of music mix. Please share your thoughts on my work and leave feedbacks on song and profile.
This might be my last song before taking long break due to professional engagements so please everyone try to leave comments!

Thanks for your support and feedbacks in advance!Rgds, Blue Star

Dear friend!

A young female could better understand the depth of this song released in 1969 from movie Talaash (Quest) originally sung by Lata ji. One can always understand the intricacy of Pyar, Ishq aur Mohabbat when heart is caught up in the net of love. This song could for a short while lessen the sweet pain of love. It goes to all the love birds and lonely hearts This song was suggested by Zagar, my good friend from eSnips.
Kitni Akeli Kitni Tanha
Please share your views and suggestions how did I do in this rendition.
Theme : How lonely and secluded I felt today after I met him…

Dear friend,

Spring has come and flowers are blossoming but your sweetheart is away What will you do then? I guess there is nothing better than listening to this melodious song Jiya Be Qarar Hai (Since my heart is restless) and anticipate your beloved would join you This song is from old movie Barsaat (Rain) sung by melody Queen Lata ji. This is a difficult song due to too many modulations. I've tried my best to render it in my own style. Please evaluate my singing/mixing and copy your feedbacks to my folder else they would disappear after 10 comments on song! Hope you'd enjoy my rendition.
Theme: Since spring has arrived, my heart is restless. Come my love as I'm eagerly waiting for you.

Thanks for your time and support,

Dear friend,

Please spare few moments to listen and comment on this romantic duet with Afzal who's also my first duet partner from eSnips. (We did 2 duets before) He's returned 2 site after a long gape. Hope you'd like our performance.

Duet from movie Don originally sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha.

Jiska Mujhe Tha Intizaar (The moment and person I waited4)

Theme: Female part- The moment I waited 4, the person my heart yearned 4has arrived. I will cross all the limits in love, either I will kill him or die. What I went through u don't know-I'd avenge 4 this parting. I've come 2 quench fire with your love. O u killer where'd u go now? U will get what u gave me. The moment has arrived 2 pierce in your heart like a dart. Either I will kill or die...

Thanks for your support and feedbacks!

Best Wishes,
Blue Star

Dear friend! GET READY TO DANCE WITH ME!

Yessss... I have come back after my recent flu and gave maximum nasal touch in this dance song ;) Do I need to tell you how much fun I had doing this song?? hahaha- I've spent about 70% time in editing and mixing effects to vocal and track so you can imagine my dedication behind this rendition. I also did background chorus throughout the song.

This song is from 1982 movie Disco Dancer and it's all about fun, ecstasy and dance. So enjoy and let me know how did I do? The music is composed by Bappi Lehari who's one of my fav musicians/composers.

Thanks for your time and support in advance.

I noticed that you do have the songs in mp3 as this is a compressed file and will load faster.
Do you have DSL high speed internet ? It can affect the speed between your server and Esnips.
Very good that you created another folder for upload. It should not affect the folder according to how many songs you have in the folder. The whole purpose is to designate what type of folder that the music is located according to where you want them to be found.
Esnips sometimes goes out of whack. It takes a while for them to fix whatever is wrong. Sometimes they don't know about it until someone informs them.
You can notify them if it continues. They will answer you by e-mail. I have done that before.

Dear Lotusgirl,

I know how you feel about copyrighted material.
You need to first remember that this is a free web site and they own it.
Now to get around this copyright thing, there are 2 things you can do.
You can upload the music into a private file and move it to a public file. You won't get a problem until later and they will take it off without any notice.
Second, you can change the name of a song by leaving off a word which will change it in it's title and do not explain who really sang the song. This they won't detect. Eg. Rocking Robin --- to GO Rocking Robin.
As for the up load speed, see if at the end of the title it is a wav after it is uploads and in the file it is stored in the folder. If it is , you can download a free program called SWITCH which changes the file by compressing it to a mp3. Before you upload, change to mp3 and the speed is faster. Otherwise, it is the server that you have or the traffic of ESNIPS that sometimes runs slow. Just wait until it uploads.
There is alot of hunt and peck with programs and the way a computer or web site works.
It takes practice.
Whether you sing a song perfectly or makes mistakes, it doesn't matter as you are doing what you want.
That is why you have friends to help you as I have been helped. If you have a problem it doesn't hurt to ask .
Just do your thing and let the world enjoy you just the way you are. Don't get frustrated.
God bless,
Jeff October 2, 08

Hi

Nice of you to come by and I want to thank you for your appreciation of the vid Lord of the dance. I have been quite busy with this one to make it. I'v made this vid for people to wake up and think. The earth is the only living one who gives us a life, that was the basic meaning of this vid. We need to take care and nurture her. I know it isn't God and that she is in a way the right hand of Him to give us a home and a life. He has giving us the responsibility for her and look what we do! I think when we are 100 years futher we are living only on a big coin, filled with only material. We are on our way to become a new sapiens, a new evoluation, called the material robotica human and along with it we are making our mother Earth also to a stinking rotting iron holding place, where only that kind of people can excist. THe ones who can pay for oxygen machines and filters to keep the air and water clean. The rest of us wil then be fenished. Let be wel its all about money in this world and that wil never stop solong we keep asking how big the costs are to prefend it.
