I like kk ... But kk isn't voice that would justice as play back for likes of Salman , srk , govinda, akhsey, saif sonu voice matched every actor he sang for plus kk is not made for songs like suraj huwa madham, do pal ruka, kal ho na ho, taal Pe jab yeh zindagni chali, abhi saans leni ki fursat nhi hai.. These songs need Rafi sahab texture and deep expressive yet melodious touch n not raw n rock like kk voice ... Kk can not put as much soul like sonu does with sau dard hain , soona Mann ka angaan from parineeta (vidya and saif) not even in tarap tarap ki .. Kk can sing in sad mood but sonu can express sad words in the lyrics ...like mere duniya me ake mar jaa kahin mat jaa from tum bin...or the silence of romance in mujy raat din bas mujy chahati ho kk just can't put those emotions of romance the way sonu says " aaah mujy raat din bas mujy chahati ho even the aaah had helplessness feel of lover to it"its not kk department at all n the helplessness sonu put in tu hi tu satrangi re ... Or passion in yeh dil dewana...U can't compare a singer with different moods n expressions... to a singer who is expert in rock... Can't imagine kk or even Udit or shanu singing Kahan raja bhoj kahan gangu teeli where sonu change his voice the way it doesn't sound sonu u can not tell who is singing without reading the credit title ...rehna hai tere Dil ne kk sounded bland while sonu sang same lines in smooth expressive way..

He deserves more. Singers like Sonu comes once in decades. He is a legend and most versatile modern day singer.

It's your opinion and I respect that.

But this is the first time I'm hearing someone say he is not versatile.
😉

Anyways a couple of songs for you -

1) satrangi re

2) Jane nahin denge tujhe

3) Mera rang de Basanti chola

4) kahan raja bhog kahan Gangu tell

5) just chill chill just chill

6) Dhire jalna

7) Sapna Jahan

8) tees maar khan

9) kill dill (falsetto)

10) abhi mujh mein kahin

11) Naman hain

All of different genres, and in every one of them his voice is different! And I'm not even including all his epic songs on that. Nor his album songs.

out of the list, my favorite ones are only those which are either sad song or love songs... this makes him non versatile for me.😳
