Sonu has so much command on his voice that he can sing a song in multiple different variations and with different voices.. still hit the notes and make it look better than anyone else.

That's a matter of choice, really. Sonu is good, no doubt, but to put down other singers to make him look good is ridiculous.

I find Ankit tiwari's singing better than Arjit's! Arijit is overrated! And of course Sonu nigam is a legend!

Why every one misunderstand him so much every time earlier majority of muslims thought and started hating him considered him anti muslim for his loudspeaker use tweet , his only point was about for him using loudspeakers are not necessary in religious places which is fine every one have rights to their opinion . and than his leaving twitter thing he didn't left twitter to support abhijeet he left twitter because he felt banning abhijeet account is one side sham u should have read his last series of tweets before he left it, as he was receiving many mother sister abuses after loudspeakers controversy he said if abhijeet deserve bann than bann all those 80 percent of twitter accounts on twitter who use foul langauge and abuses there is a lot of negativity on twitter and it have become gutter

Sonu Nigam is miles better than arijit Singh, his songs like Abhi mujh me kahi and kal ho na ho are classics. I don't think arijit has any such song in his record

Exactly! I mean yesterday i heard that saathiya title track again and woww! What a dreamy song and how beautifully he sings it. It seems like you're in a dreamland. And the way he modulates his voice throughout the song, like in teri bali hil gayi h line, wow! Arijit singh has a different style. He is definitely not as talented as sonu and is becoming repetitive 😵

Hi.. I was refraining from commenting over her because I knew that if I started writing I wouldn't stop. But some of the comments above compelled me to do so.

First of all, let us just all acknowledge that sonu and arijit are not competitors. They can't be. Sonu is miles ahead of arijit just by the body of work he has done. So comparing the two of them is stupid.

Secondly even at the start of his career sonu was way more versatile as compared to arijit. U just have to hear the three songs - yeh dil deewana, satrangi re, and sandese aate hain, to know that. Just to put it out there none of these three songs actually are mushy love songs for which apparently sonu is so famous now. And he did this when his voice was raw and he was some 19 or 20 years of age.

Secondly sonu is not defined by his film music. Film music is a very very small part of sonus repertoire. His albums range from the classic love albums with which he rose to fame like deewana, Jaan, yaad etc to a complete fusion of classic and contemporary album like classically mild (my favourite album till date) to a western Indian progressive sound album like the music room are all famous and well appreciated.

Thirdly he has been involved in various non-film projects ranging from a collab with Britney Spears or Jermaine Jackson that I know( there might be many that don't come to light) to a many complete classical projects with suresh Wadkar ji to jazz, blues and horror.

So the body of work that is behind sonu itself does not allow us to compare between the two. Im not syaing that Arijit is not as good as Sonu is, but where versatality is concerned he is far behind (as yet). Just like it would be foolish to compare Sonu with Sureshji, it would be even more foolish to compare arijit with sonu. They belong to different eras, period. maybe 10 yrs down the line you could ask who was better, but as yet sonu wins hands down.

That said sonu has his own drawbacks. His voice is thin and mellifluous as compared to arijit who has a husky sexy voice. The first impact with arijit is always more that's why. Does that mean that arijit is a better singer than Sonu?? No it doesn't. Nobody in their right mind will say so. But you need a couple of minutes to understand the complexity that sonu brings to the song before you fall in love. While you get hooked onto the first note when arijit sings. You just have to listen to the live performances of the two to know who is a better singer but I would say that a better voice in the current terms would still be arijit.

Now coming to the question of why sonu isn't given his due, believe me I've really tried to find out. Because I still can't believe that somebody can overlook Sonu. From what I gather the music industry has changed. While previously a music director used to decide now it's the music company who decides who will sing. They have their own camps and they promote their own singers so they get a cut from the remuneration. Why only talk of Sonu here? Neither is Shaan singing nor is kk nor is Sukhwinder singh to name a few. So if a singer like arijit belongs to pritam camp, pritam is bound to promote him, especially of the music company also desires his voice. They are all under contract now with leading music companies. One other factor is that, sonu is talented no doubt, but you can't deny that the guy is too blunt for his own good. And he has an ego. Whether you like it or not, if you are too talented you will be pulled down. He rose to fame too hard and too fast and was compared with the greats at the very outset of his career. And now with auto tune, many new voices come into play when previously only select few would. Because you don't now need a singer you need a voice. Arijit and Atif in my opinion have better current generation voices than Sonu. Nobody can sing the notes like sonu can.. but do you really need that anymore? About your very first question.. why is sonu not getting any love songs..? yes I agree that gerua would have sounded mush better if sonu sang it and safar would have sounded much better if kk sang it and hawaein would have sounded much better if Shaan sang it... but the bottom line is they won't get those songs because then they would be their songs while now it's Pritam who gets the credit and the limelight m. So seriously we should just accept that their time is over now .. because the definition of a singer has changed. Can we really ever hope to get the era of Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal, Sunidhi Chauhan, Rahat sahab again? I don't think so. Maybe in the distant future there will be someone who will change the face of Indian music, but till then I feel the only way I can think of for talent to be promoted is if we get out of the film music and start promoting non-film music.

P.s for someone over here who thinks that Kumar and Udit are not fit even to wipe the laces of Sonu, please do not insult legends like this!!

Phew.. now i am finished. Crap, never wanted to write so much but the current music scenario brings out the worst in me. Sorry for this excessively long rant!

its not about sonu is not being taken by music director but its about music director are now using the technique of recording 1 song with 20 singers and than select 1 out of them that is why people like sonu dont sing much infact sonu rejected dilwale song because pritam already recorded the song with 9 singers
here u go for the reason of sonu not singing much...although he is regular in kannada
[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RT7sBBYvT8[/YOUTUBE]

and by the way i guess as of now he is only melodious voice in b town rest are atif aslam alike voice mean raw leaving some like papoon . and sonu voice does suites new kids actors too he did mannat for aditya roy kapoor from dawat e isqh , or recently did mubarikaan with arjun kapoor

So basically Sonu has too big an ego, or he's not confident the film producers will retain his renditions. He should get over himself and turn up to Pritam's studio when invited, cut the track and carry on with his day.

When Sonu came in the mid-90s it was all about Udit Narayan + Kumar Sanu. Then he rose to the top and they soon disappeared. Now it's all about the Arijits and the Ankits. Music has evolved. Can't imagine Sonu rendering Nashe Si Chadh Gayi or The Breakup Song. ADHM title track was epic. Having Sonu on vocals would have dated it.

I am so pissed my fav singer Sunidhi isn't getting as much songs as a decade ago. Even Shreya is doing very select few songs these days. It's sad but we have to move on and appreciate the very talented newer lot.

Are you sure that its Sonu and not pritam who has the bigger ego?? Sonu has worked with pritam even when pritam sidelined him for other singers like when Mohit Chauhan sang the melodious song in Jab we met while Sonu was given a dance number. He could have easily refused that if it was just about ego. But he respected whatever Pritam said as Pritam was the music director and added an amazing flavour to nagada. From what i understand from the above converstaion is that there were a few songs that Sonu sang and at the behest of the music company they had to be removed and it created some bad blood between the two. Maybe Sonu felt Pritam didnt stand up for him. Who knows??? But the bottomline is, I can guarantee you that if Sonu sings any of these above songs, he will ace it..

If you've heard Sapna Jahan... does Sonu's voice date the song back or elevate it furthur? Have you heard taqeedein?? Should give it a listen. Also Goggle song - focus on the way he says 'khatarnaaq' and tell me that it dates the song back. You only have to hear his demonitised version of gerua to know how it would sound if it would have been actually sung by him. Definitely not dated! or recently his live concerts with atif where he sang atif's songs live like jeena jeena or pehli nazar mein to know what sonu would have brought to the table if he had recorded it. Im not syaing all songs need to go to Sonu, but some... should, based on the sheer talent he still has. And the very fact that they dont suggest that something more fishy than just ego clashes are not working his way.
