Everyone had gone crazy since the time Justin Bieber’s concert was announced; however, after people heard the list of his high-end demands, they lost their cool and slammed him. Many thought that Jacuzzi, Play Station, Rolls Royce, ping-pong table, chopper etc. were meaningless demands.
On one hand we have people who are against Justin Bieber’s demands and on the other hand, we have Sonu Nigam who has extended his support to him. Yes, the singer is of the opinion that Justin’s demands are completely reasonable and there’s no need of creating hype over it.
Sonu says that if organizers are ready for his demands, people shouldn’t object it.
In an interview with TOI, Sonu said,
“I am surprised people make fun of Bieber. He is the most trolled artist and yet year after year he has been proving people wrong. People have been trolling him since he was a child. Kitne mean hotey hain log. Bacche ko bhi nahi choda. He is a billionaire and there is a reason why he is doing so well. It has to be his talent. Why should I not like him? He is a good singer and definitely not fake as far as his singing is concerned.”
He also said that Justin is not the only artiste who has put forth these demands; there are many others who come up with the same list. Talking about International artistes, Sonu said,
“Dene waley de rahe hain na, toh humko kya problem hai? Why are we acting so ignorant and why are we so amazed at what Bieber has apparently asked for? Every singer who comes to India asks for these things. Purple curtains, satin beds… they have their quirks, it’s their system. Even a Madonna or Beyonce would ask for it.”
After all this, Sonu once again tried to spark off the “Loudspeaker” controversy. According to reports, the singer also said,
“This happens here too. I know of Indians who do it as well. Certain music composers demand a swimming pool facing suite if someone else gets it. I would never ask for it as we don’t humiliate people who work with us like this. Do we stay in our homes like this? We don’t, right? International artistes do it. This is their ‘loudspeaker’. All I expect is a good sound system for my concert. Who has the time to enjoy Jacuzzi! The focus is always the voice.”
By mentioning the word “Loudspeaker”, did he once again try linking it to the Azaan controversy? Did he mean to say that just like he is habituated to the “Loudspeaker”, International artistes are habituated to all those things?
