Brett Lee goes Bollywood
When I learnt Brett Lee hired a linguist to teach him Urdu a few years back, I thought it was to help with his sledging on the Indian tour. It turns out he was actually preparing for a career in Bollywood, having just released his first single. Doesn't the music industry know cricketers and music just don't go together? Didn't we learn anything from England's Jerusalem single? Andrew Flintoff with Elton John? Darren Gough, anyone?!
Watching Brett Lee singing to an admittedly hot Indian girl (the young one, not the mother) gives that same cringe factor when watching the Wiggles - you're embarrassed for him as he checks his dignity at the door but also have a grudging admiration that the guy will probably make a million dollars from it all. Well, I guess it could be worse - he could be toe tapping in a full Bollywood dance musical (maybe that's where his recent heel clicking came from). Or even worse - he could be a ex-footballer - they seem to take every opportunity to dress in drag on the Footy Show.

Well, I heard the song the other day. What is this? It is pretty sad to see Cricketers losing concentration in Cricket. Lee has made the biggest mistake, since he has entered Bollywood media. It is something that gives you too much fame and takes away everything of yours. I am certain that Lee won't be able to focus on his cricket, IF HE CONTINUES TO STAY IN MUSIC!
That is what I think. Shoaib did some commercials in India, out of country, that caused him to lose his focus on cricket, and turned it only to money. So, lets see how it goes with Lee.

His voice is actually not all that bad, though they haven't found a really hot Indian girl for him. (Clearly, my taste does not match with JC's.) The old woman is a famous Indian singer. The music is good and it may become pretty popular in India.

Awww come on. Lighten up people. This is a great (though somewhat dorky) thing for Brett Lee to do. It's typical Bollywood pop and he sounds pretty good, as well as shown respect by making sure he knew how to pronounce the language. That "old woman" is amazingly good-looking for a 74 year old. Brett's attitude to her and comments about her show he has more class than a lot of Aussies when it comes to other cultures and older people. My admiration for Lee has gone up a few notches with this, regardless of how silly the video is.

That was a very highly embarrasing video for me to watch, I swear the first time I saw it, i could feel myself blsuhing.
But you have to admit, for Brett to partake in this song, and act in the video as well, (that I think everyone, even Brett, realized was extrememly silly)is really gr8 thing, simply beacuse it is a testament to his character, and generous sprirt do do it fro a good cause.
I'm from India, and I know not everyone shares such an optimistic view of India as a nation, and most times even I dont. Im really glad that Brett's around.
ANyone seen a photo of his adorable baby?U guys definately should.

That was the most pathetic video clip i saw. Brett i strongly suggest you to stay and in Australia and concerntrate on ur cricket that is what ur are for. Singing in English and Ending with Hindi my God is seriouly hilarious. Stay away from Bollywood it will not only destroy your cricket fame but make look like a dumb singer if u don't get sucessfull.They are only making u look good since u are a famous cricket that is why u rae recognised so pack ur bags and hit back to Australia.
You are handsome and woman in Aussie land needs u.

Have you guys who think this video is shit have any idea why brett lee might have chosen to do this video because hes not a racist bastard and also it was his bloody decision thats probobly why hes so well of today. unlike some people and fair enough if you dont like the video good for you no one will stop you from not likeing it ok!!!!!!! but these racists comments people put up i mean come on anyways i dont think brett lee gives a shit about the stupid things which are racists some people put up

I don't see any racism in the comments. Maybe a bit of homophobia in some comments but no racism. It's more a reaction to the "cringe-factor" of a sportsman attempting to act like a heartthrob popstar.

You did a great job in the video.I am so much in love with you since five years that i can't even think of another guy in my life.It's true, i have not dated even a single guy since i took birth.I think i'll die as a nun.After this musical i've developed more craving for him.
