So far, it's Sonu Nigam. Arijit has only just started to get noticed post Aashiqui 2. Sonu Nigam has had/still has (I hope) a very long and successful career.

Arijit's voice is more suited to sad/slow songs. Not saying that Arijit's voice is bad but just that if he is singing a slow song like Tum Hi Ho or recently Muskurane, the song comes out better and you actually notice his voice but if its a peppy number like songs from Main Tera Hero then his voice just disappears and the songs don't leave as much an impact as any of his other slow songs like Tum Hi Ho. Even the one he sang in Murder 2 "Phir Mohabbat" you can actually notice his voice, it's distinct and impactful even when there are 3 different singers in that song.

On the other hand, Sonu Nigam is lucky, I guess, that his voice suits most all genres of songs be it peppy numbers, sad, slow, item songs etc.

Sonu Nigam was and is overrated. I never liked his voice, felt it was too boyish - whereas Arijit sounds mature. In terms of voice quality Arijit is def better.However it will take some time before anyone can say Arijit is better, he has to prove his sustainability. We've had many singers who have come, been praised to skies and then suddenly they have no work, such as Himesh, Adnan Sami, Atif Aslam, Mohit Chahuan, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan they all had their peak and then they slowed down- some of them barely sing anymore.Anyway my main point is that Arijit will need to sustain himself in orders to be considered better than Sonu. Although IMO he already is



:p if u go back to era rafi sahab too had the boyish voice and kishore kumar had a heavy voice even though rafi sahab is considered as musical mastero today any singer who would want to be great have to listen and learn from the great rafi :) ;p and for arijit to be considered better den sonu not only he require sustainibility but had to have a courage to sing in as many generes i.e qawali , ghazals, semi classical and that too on live stage :)

Lmao.. jealousy? 😆😆 Like I'm some sort of singer that would be jealous of him, I can't even properly sing in the shower. I just don't like the guy, plain and simple. 😛 He's a bad actor and a pretty average singer.

He can be 'versatile' and all that shit but he's not nearly as good as some of the other singers. 🥱 I'll take Udit Narayan, Kumar Sanu and even Anu Malik over Sonu Nigham. He's very over-rated!!

FYI - not everyone puts Nigham on a pedestal and does his puja.



😛Come on that pretty average singer ( in ur views) is technically better den Udit Naryan and Kumar Sanu they both were just crooners ( a singer, who sings sentimental songs in a soft, low voice.)...both of them were 1 dimensional and had a melody kinda songs all there carrier ..they never sang songs of different ranges and which have a true classical element i never heard classical stuff from Udit Narayan till date ...but i love udit naryan because of his happy and smiley voice by d way ...:P but as a singer they both had limitations ...in Sonu case he is a one singer of multi dimensional qualities ... you are just getting biased and nothing else ...

None are winners. The music houses are. They call the shots and pay the singers peanuts.
Why would Sonu and Arjit and for that matter, all playback singers not stand together to have their renumeration increased???

Those comparisons are such a joke. I bet even Nigam will laugh at those. I hate all the things or 'harkate' that Nigam does to the songs. Pretty funny to see the fans think he's some icon of the century. Give me a break.


give me a break as well :p not just fans but legendary singers like Lata mangeshkar, mana dey or to say SPB or abida parveen to quote some " No singer born in india or pak who can surpass the talent of Sonu Nigam" says Pakistani sufi singer Abida Parveen ... "i think shankar madevan and hariharan are two great singers but there is a singer who is even greater then these two dat is Sonu Nigam" SP BALA SUBRMANIYUM :p :)

Music houses like T series have become Don these days they are on fight with singers who are demanding royalties and contract verfication thats why people are heareing less of sonu these days as many of his songs got dub this year and will be getting dubbed unless or untill he sign the contract which have illegal clause in it :D the fight with music companies are now for a long run God knows what will be the conclusion and when it will be :)
