I was listening to an old Kumar Sanu song today and it got me thinking about what such singers as Kumar Sanu, Udit Naryan, Shaan and even Abhijeet B. are doing now? Bollywood has opened up to a lot of new singing talent and you don't hear from the older ones anymore. It's a bit sad actually because they are exceptional singers. Don't get me wrong it's great that new talent is emerging but it's also a bit sad to see the older ones being sidelined. Even Sonu only sings a song or two.

I checked Shaan on Twitter and he seems to be doing a lot of shows and stuff and had tweeted how the music of today is so mediocre that it makes the older songs (I am assuming the 90s and 2000s) seem like gems.

Even Udit Narayan tweeted how if they had twitter in the 2000s he would be constantly tweeting about all the new songs he was singing. Now a days he's singing a few songs down south and seems like he doesn't have much on his plate.

No idea about Kumar Sanu considering Aashqui was huge for him, same goes for Abhijeet.

Read a 2 year old interview of Kumar Sanu, he said something I totally agree with I understand technological advancements, but now a days you cannot tell a singer by his voice much, back in the day I could easily differentiate between who is who, now a days I have to google it to see who the singer is, Kumar Sanu is right, they all sound pretty much the same😆

Any idea?

I think these singers all got sidelined with the emergence of new talent and new voices. The singers of the 90s were still imitating Rafi and Kishore while the new ones were trying out something new. Then there were various fads that emerged like Pakistani singers were preferrred. Apart from this many of the older singers started focussing in reality shows rather than singing while newer voices made a headway. All this did them in.
Plus Sonu has mentioned this several times and I think he is right-the best songs of an album are these days sung by music directors themselves leaving singers with the worst songs. All this is kinda sad especially when singers like Sonu are sidelined.

Udit Narayan sang for Radha (SOTY) didn't he? I miss Kumar Sanu's voice. Love his Ek ladki ko deka song from that Anil Kapoor + Manisha Koirala movie. Sorry I forgot the name

I miss them, especially Udit ji.

But with time, generation changed, new singers emerged, and new identities and favorites were created.

I miss them. Sigh.

You're kinda right about not being able to tell the voices apart now. A few years back, I could tell who sang what song immediately. I really irritated my friend with that. 😆 Now I can't really since I can't keep up with all the new singers.

I guess it happens everywhere, old talent makes the way for the new generation. I guess somewhere their voices don't end up suiting the new types of songs =/

You're so true about the technological advances hiding the singer's flaws.. Few days back I listened to Arijit's MTV unplugged version of Raabta.. gosh, he ruined his own song! Even Harshdeep Kaur, Shalmali etc, their real voice is nothing like we hear in the videos.
