Jasleen Royal, who made history as the first Indian artist to open for Coldplay during their Mumbai concert, is facing a wave of criticism. Several concert-goers took to social media to express their discontent, calling her performance a ‘mismatch’ and even ‘unbearable’ and ‘out of tune.’
Antara Mitra Calls Out The Performance
Following Vishal Dadlani’s criticism, playback singer Antara Mitra has also voiced her thoughts. On Instagram, she shared a video of Jasleen’s performance and called out the act, stating, “I am shamelessly calling this out! Because someone from the same field should! I have an iron gut so I am doing it! Please all you biggies out there taking decisions of this level! My only request is please put music on top and then your number game.”
Vishal Dadlani’s Earlier Critique
Before Antara’s post, Vishal Dadlani had also criticized the performance in a now-deleted Instagram story. While not naming Jasleen, Vishal expressed his disappointment about a “basic-to-bad” singer performing before a large crowd. He pointed out that such performances only highlight the lack of quality control in the Indian music industry. His comments, though deleted, sparked a conversation on social media and raised eyebrows among fans and fellow musicians alike.
A Historic Event For Coldplay Fans
Despite the controversy surrounding Jasleen’s performance, Coldplay’s concerts in India were a monumental event for fans. The British band’s ‘Music of the Spheres’ tour performed in Mumbai on January 18, 19, and 21, drawing thousands of fans to the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. The concerts were a dream come true for many, leaving fans thrilled and satisfied with Coldplay’s electrifying performance. However, the opening act controversy has become a hot topic of discussion among music enthusiasts.
