The awards for 2007 did not happen . This year's event is trying to cover two
years worth of work. I am sure a little more googling would have told you that.
Sure, but it's still odd to see works all the way from 2005 appear in what is
publicized as a 2008-2009 awards.
The facts are clear my friend. The credibility of this organization is only as
questionable as our credibility in questioning it.
That's a valid point. I make no claims about the JPF organization. I will only
construe the humongous list of nominees, with the works spanning many years
(and with classification errors), and the seemingly unrestricted voting process
as not lending much credibility to the award.
I think Krosswindz is a respected band that served Bangla music for a long time
now and so, I care about them. Care is a subjective thing ofcourse and depends
on each Artists' and his fans' priorities.
You didn't understand the context. You were trying to justify the
legitimacy/credibility of the awards by pointing out that Krosswindz had issued
a press statement about their nomination so it must be credible. I'm saying
that one shouldn't use that logic. Just examine the facts. Of course, in this
case we both can agree to arrive at different conclusions. As an example you
might be aware of the Vote for Taj campaign that ARR composed a song for. Have
you looked into the background of the organization behind the New 7 Wonders of
the World? They came out of nowhere. The Taj Mahal was lagging behind in votes,
and there were multiple calls for people to sms their votes. Now just because
ARR composed a song for the campaign doesn't mean that that the award has the
merits that one would associate it with.
Ramesh, I would like to find out more about your personal work in music. Do you
happen to be an independent music producer as well? If so, would you not be
happy if your work got nominated next to your icon's ?
This has nothing to do with what we're debating here. My point was only about
the nominees and the award process.
