atif aslam Rocked the 2007 Lux style award show
|
It was the mega finale that followed the grand finale. Naheed Akhter
and Meera had already created magic but when Atif Aslam stepped up to
perform live for the very first time at the Lux Style Awards, it was
historical. The magic of live music, the riffs from an electric guitar,
that thumping bass and that high voltage drumming… with Atif Aslam
crooning his first mega hit 'Aadat', it was one of the most
unforgettable moments LSA can boast of. Atif Aslam brought the house
down with his live energy and that signature raw charisma . He followed
'Aadat' with 'Mahi Vey' ending with the phenomenal hit 'Tere Bin'. He
would finish one song and then shout out "More?" and the girls in the
gallery would go wild in anticipation. He would hold up his arms and
they would scream at the top of their lungs and when he ran up the
auditorium, they held out their arms hoping for contact. Atif showed
off his skills superbly… not just as a singer but also as a performer.
Atif was the star that night and by recreating music's magical moments
of 2006, the LSAs truly arrived like never before. The hidden talent of
dancing… If you think Atif is a great singer, wait till you see him
dance. He created electric chemistry with the stunning Aaminah Haq
after he flew down from a flying carpet onto the stage like a fairytale
Prince reincarnated rockstar. From the slow 'Kuch Iss Tarah' where Atif
flirted his way around with dancers to the plethora of remixes that
came one after the other from 'Tere Bin' to 'Doorie', Atif moved
comfortably and most importantly naturally. His confidence level was
palpable in the way he and Aaminah moved together, in sync penetrating
into the hundreds of eyes on them. There wasn't a single glitch. And
here it must be said that Aaminah Haq was really phenomenal. She
matched Atif's star power with equal grace… oozing oomph as she went
along. What a stellar performance! There was no doubt in anyone's mind
that Atif would pick up the Best Music Album award for Doorie, which is
tsill selling across Pakistan. Where Atif does lose marks out on
originality, one has to give him his due for attempting something that
no other musician has done before – make a full-fledged remix album
with pumping beats. And when the country is dancing to it, dare we
complain? If Atif created rock magic, Ali Zafar strummed out acoustic
charm. As Ali walked onto the stage with his guitar, stood before the
mike and belted out 'Sajania' in those unfathomable vocals, that impish
smile and boyish charisma that only he holds, Ali Zafar proved why he
is the other pop prince this nation loves and cherishes. When Ali
launched into 'Sun Re Sajania/Tere Sung Dunya', claps resonated and
people sang along and Ali gave them his version of raw live magic.
Between Ali Zafar and Atif Aslam, the bigger crowd puller was
undoubtedly Atif. That said, if there was any other musician who came
close to matching his performance, it was Ali. And as far as dancing
goes, Ali moved in Masty. Throughout his career as a musician, he has
charmed the ladies and even the men because of his ability to create
stage drama. That night, he came out of a huge guitar, rode a bicycle
with Reema, one of his co-stars from his new video, 'Dekha' and took
the Lollywood diva in his arms, held her close and danced. If he showed
off style in 'Sajania', he enacted a romantic tiff with Reema on
'Dekha' and with 'Masty', Ali Zafar was all live wire energy. In that
black ganji (vest), Ali Zafar looked like a true star, flanked by
dancers all around. Even though, his performance was not as spectacular
as Atif's but it was enjoyable and entertaining nonetheless. He is the
youth icon... Ali Zafar may not have won Best Music Album for his album
Masty, but he did pick up the newly introduced Youth Icon award. One
wonders whether the Lux Awards Office looks for nominees for various
categories or develops categories to suit certain people. Last year
Wasim Akram was given the Most Stylish Sportsman Award probably for
being the face of Rexona and the same seems to apply to Ali Zafar who
is the new face of Lux. He hasn't really done anything else to merit
this award. 'Youth Icon' is a title that sinks deeper than album sales
and with musicians like Abrar ul Haq and Shahzad Roy handling massive
philanthropic concerns, they set better examples for the youth than
Ali. Most Stylish Sportsman was a one night stand that wasn't repeated
this year and one wonders if there will be another Youth Icon to
rejoice next year too. Did this award ensure Ali's presence and
performance? After all, it's no secret that many stars refuse to attend
shows unless promised an award ... guess he dancez really well. |
