What a romantic song, lovely lyrics..!
Coming to the singing part, the low-notes are a bit shaky for me esp in the starting, Kunal goes great in the high-parts, but the lower notes go flat sometimes they do not seem as effortless as the high ones. The middle-notes are nice and pleasant.
The uniqueness of Kunal's rounded soft voice is high-lighted in some parts of the song, it has not been properly utilized in this song, for me, it does not work its magic if we compare his voice in his other hit numbers. however, the words are emphasized well upon by the singer, pronunciation is fair enough. the expressions are nicely captured.
Summing up, my score for this song will be 9 out of 10.

Hmm...

Boring song - the mukhda is good but after that the song just can't hold your interest. But I listened to the whole performance, so that I wouldn't miss any good bits in the singing.

Kunal had a good opportunity here to present his command over sur, his expression and his voice. Unfortunately the shakiness in his voice, which somone999 also mentioned, got on my nerves by the end of the song and did little to capture the mood of the song - it sounds like someone's crying!

This could have been Kunal's 'Kal Ho Na Ho' but he failed to show the multidimensional voice that Sonu showed.

But there was a lot going for Kunal's performance, too - the small falsetto section was good, he was in tune. His voice quality is not as versatile as that of Sonu, Shaan or KK, but it was adequate for this song. Had any of these three performed this song, I'm sure they'd explore the emotions in the song more deeply.

I am underwhelmed, but that doesn't mean it was bad singing. Will give the singing 1 point less than Mohit's 'Tumse Hi', which makes it 7/10 from me!

And for Uditji I have chosen an occasionally-heard song. The best thing about the singing is how many expressions, feelings and moods Uditji manages to fit in just two words 'Ram Jaane'. Music by Anu Malik. Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik make cameo appearances too!

Kunal is hardly heard these days. As we have been saying, only versatility lasts forever.

Is that why Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is still singing strong?

Great singing by Kunal Ganjawala!

I've always said he is one of the most talented male playback singers in bollywood, and I thought he was better than at least one of the 6 singers selected initially. He has great singing ability.

In this song, he performs well. This song required a lot of feel, which Kunal Ganjawala brought out. His high pitches, when in the main like "dedo naa" were well done. Overall, the singing was great, he has great voice quality, and throughout the song he displayed his great singing ability. One of the best singers in bollywood.

Well I think you don't consider Rahat saab as versatile. I consider him as versatile.
