The crowd was getting
impatient.
People had come from far to witness their home-grown band 'Next Talent' that had achieved much success.
Pappu and Team were also waiting.
The organizers invited them and had a word with them.
They were soon on stage giving their performance.

They were rock-stars!
Each song was better
than the one before.
The crowd went crazy!
The concert was
super-hit!
After two hours, there were still shouts of "once more!"
Pappu and Team had tears in their eyes.
It was redemption time.
Their talent had earned due recognition.
'Next Talent' had actually
copied their songs.

Will the copycats be exposed and punished?
Do you believe that those who have been wronged will get their due recognition in this lifetime?

Stay home. Stay safe. Take care.
So disappointing. I feel for them. Maybe they'll create something even better.
ReplyDeleteNext Talent are going to have a hard time when they go on, playing exactly the same set
ReplyDeletePerhaps a legal challenge is in order!
ReplyDeleteDear Anita,
ReplyDeleteThat had to have been upsetting. it sounds like the copycats will soon be playing a different tune. Well played.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Time for them to take action and get the recognition they deserve!

As long as they get the royalties, do they care?
ReplyDeleteI think it's pretty rare for those who have been wronged by copycats to get what they deserve. Besides, if New Talent can perform the songs successfully, Pappu and Team presumably weren't particularly good performers.
ReplyDeleteA story of mixed blessings. I'm sure this happens a lot.
ReplyDeleteI hope Pappu is not Rahul Gandhi :) and Modi stole his lines?
ReplyDeleteThis must happen way more often than we think.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame.
ReplyDeleteNot another tribute band!
ReplyDeleteHere's mine!
As long as the crowd doens't assume they're a tribute band, they are made!
ReplyDeleteI always cheer when cheats and thieves are exposed.
ReplyDeleteWhoa. Some say that mimicry is the highest form of flattery, but I don't buy it ... Not while it also includes disrespect ... So ... Oy.
