Technology can help anyone be a good singer: Sonu Nigam

Sonu feels one must move on with times as the culture of albums has died down, with more focus being on singles.

At a time when several Bollywood actors are going behind the microphone to record songs, Sonu Nigam is unfazed as he feels technology today helps anyone to be a good singer. Sonu feels there is nothing wrong in actors attempting to sing, but the litmus test of a singer is during live shows. "Technology has facilitated everyone to be a good singer. They (actors) can sing in films, there is demand so it is ok. But performing live is something else. Stage is the true litmus test of a singer," opines Sonu.

The 42-year-old singer began his career by singing in the 1990 movie Janam. He shot to fame with songs like hits "Acha Sila Deya Tune Mere Pyar Ka" 1995 "Sandese Aate Hai" from Border, "Ye Dil Deewana" from Pardes "Satrangi Re" from Dil Se and released his album Deewana.

Sonu feels one must move on with times as the culture of albums has died down, with more focus being on singles. "Earlier, album making was treated as films. There were two dance tracks, two romantic numbers, one sad song. It was a completely different, fun procedure. Today, nobody buys albums. People download music and we have the age of singles," he said."So, all the energy you were putting in all the songs of an album, now you have to put it in one single. Make sure the song is good, the video is perfect and other details. Things have changed but you can't complain about it. You have to move on," Sonu added.

Example hamgover was pretty fsmous but after sallu sang on big boss , sacchai samne aai 😆

I agree sound mixing and different techniques can help anyone to become a good singer ...

i am not sure - some where melody and soul gets lost

Sonu is taking a dig at Salman who scrapped his song Hangover from Kick and sang it himself with the "help of technology"

Stage is the true litmus test of a singer.

No, it can't. Listen to that "song" from Sultan that SK sang. No amount of technology can salvage that crapfest.

Why suddenly I see all articles against salman? First Salman was shown in bad light because of the Arijit fiasco then his statements against Sachin and Rehman and now Sonu Nigam indirectly mocking him.

Shraddha has a soulful voice too. Did you see Adi-Shraddha's KWK where they both sang Tum Hi Ho. OMG, it can put AS into shame 😳
