Ok does this ever happen to you that you listen to a song and suddenly go like I wish it had benen sung by so and so..?? It happens sometimes with me. So just for fun what is the one song you wish would have been better in another singers voice? Absolutely no disrespect intended for the original singer.

From the current generation- past song and past generation current song.

I wish Arijit had sung yeh gore gore se chore from hum-tum. I loved what arijit did to the song palat!! There is an intrinsic mischievous and sexiness to his voice that if he plays with is so so good. And I feel it would have been a bigger song had it been sung by him.

Papon for maana ke hum yaar Nahin as a solo song. That song has been wasted on parineeti. I really wished that we get a papon version for that song.

I wish Sonu had sung the duet with Shreya for thodi der aur theher ja. It would have been a way better song. I think you really understand the song when you hear the Shreya part but get lost with the male singer. Sonu would have got the nuances for that song much better.

And solo version of gerua in Sonu's voice. As soon as I heard the demonetised version I'm not been able to get his voice out of my head for that song.

So do you have any songs like that??

I too get this feeling sometimes :D
Right now I cannot recall much... but a lot of times I find myself wondering what such and such song would sound like if Shaan had sung it.. maybe it's my soft spot for him.


Will write down as I can recall..

The song would've been better :p

@red -- very true, the song would've sounded melodious if Sonu did the male part...

^^^ thank god there is atleast someone who feels like me. I was beginning to wonder if I'm the only one who has so many wishes while listening to music 😆 . About Shaan.. I loved him when he sang behti hawa sa tha woh. Can't recall any song right now for him.. but he is such a good singer and so melodious that most songs would sound amazing on his voice!!

i wish sonu voice in that song saans main tere saans mele infact music reivew writer said this in his reviews
"Saans has all the hallmarks of a Yash Chopra song! The composition is rich, melodious and high on emotions so expect it to make a strong impact on screen. Rahman's use of the cello and beats is effective but it's also reminiscent of his music for Yuvvraaj and consequently you feel he's either picked a song not used in that soundtrack or he's been stifled by Yash Ji's insistence on having traditional melody. To satisfy these requirements Rahman uses percussions and his favourite flute artist (Naveen Kumar) who provides a nice piece in the interlude. The end results are positive but the wow factor is missing. As expected Shreya Ghoshal helps elevate the song to a different level with strong vocals but she is let down by her singing partner Mohit Chauhan who struggles to keep up the high standard. I know he's a favourite of Rahman but why Sonu Nigam wasn't utilised is baffling, even more so given that it's a Yash Chopra film. Gulzar's lines are intense and very romantic. Overall this is a decent effort and will probably turn out to be a hit especially on the big screen but memorable? Get real folks. Incidentally "Saans Reprise is a solo that arrives later in the album and has some nice percussions for those interested.

^^^^ there are many songs of ar where I feel that the song would have benefited with sonus vocals. But afte the guzaarish fiasco I don't think Rehman has ever collaborated with sonu. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't remember a single song of the duo after that.

^^^ wow had no idea this song even existed. Such a melodious song. Do you know all the songs ever sung by sonu??? But this just proves the point that AR and Sonu are a fatal combination. And i have no idea why Sonu nigam is so under-utilised these days..
