One of the finest singers in Bollywood today. Shaan has been the voice of countless amount of hit songs over his career. He has delivered everywhere from party songs to slow romantic songs. He is a versatile and extremely talented singer. He also has done a good job hosting many different shows from SRGM to Star Voice. He's a man fully dedicated to music.

He also has the accomplishments to show for his singing. Over the past decade, he has not 1, but 2 Playback Singer of the Year Awards. Just to give you a perspective on how difficult that is to do, Sonu Nigam and Udit Naryan were the other 2 to accomplish that. He won back to back years in 2007 and 2008. He's also been nominated countless amounts of times through all his hit songs. He's arguably the best singer from the last decade.

Truly a great singer!


Here are some of my favorite songs from him both as in favorite song and favorite performances from Shaan.

Most of us know and love Shan as a singer. All the captains are involved in some drama or the other, some more some less. After all it's a Gajji show! 😊 But I specially like Shaan as a captain because:

- He is humble
Who else can say "Ees team ko agar koi dubo sakta hai toh woh mein hi hoon"?

- He is intelligent
The song selection for his team is pretty good, and we have seen that most of the time the singers on his team sing the song that suit them the most.

- He is fair
He gives all his team members a chance to sing and makes sure that all of them are rotated in the different rounds, so they can show their talent. Whereas some judges make only some singers sing in the DJ round (which is the worst round I feel), whereas makes their favorites sing in the other rounds.

- He brings out the best in his team members
He whispered the thought of Debo's daughter in his ear before his performance, so that he would bring the maximum emotion in his song.

- Winning points is important for him, but his team members are more important than points
He let Harshit sing even when he was sick instead of making someone else sing two songs or singing himself, knowing fully well that there was a danger of getting lower points.

- He is honest even when it comes to comparing his team member with the team member from the opposite side
When HR was comparing Anwesha and Abhaas's song and said that "Abhas ne jo gaya woh har koi gaa sakta hai, par Anwesha ne jo gaaya woh har koi nahi gaa sakta". If he wanted he could keep quiet, but he immediately said, "Main yeh nahin maanta ki jo Abhaas ne gaya woh har koi ga sakta hai".

There's too much to appreciate in Shaan's singing abilities and I don't have time right now, so I'll just leave everyone here with a song that exemplifies the man's talent. After all, music is the highest of the arts and no number of words can ever give enough appreciation to good music.

I agree with sachin. The Shaan fans have been feeling low these days. Thanks so much for lifting up our spirits😃
Shaan is such an adorable and likeable person, his songs reflect his spirit. If I close my eyes and listen to songs such as "Musumusu haasi" or "Jab se tere naina", his smiling image appears in front of my eyes. The expressions in his songs are incredible. I've been recently listening to his latest 3 idiots song "Behti hawa sa tha woh" and the way he rounds off the words "Kaha gaya use dhoondo" each time somehow brings back the nostalgia of the movie and the rememberance of the love of the 3 friends. There are many playback singers out there, but there is something special about this guy. He brings out the feelings in you that not everyone can. That's why he is special!👏👏

dear @bambooshoot,

Why shaan's fan are feeling low. Shaan is one of the most versatile singer of India.. I loved all the songs u mention above , along with that I also recall the song chaan sifarish jo karta humari from Fanhaa..

U r right, when I heard his songs, his smiling face always comes to my mind.. His personality is very pleasant and his down-to-earth attitude makes him more adorable.. I personally met him in 2008 when I was traveling from India inside the flight .. I only interacted with him for 5 minutes, but believe me his humble attitude blown me away ... Shaan we love u all and for us u r always going to be one of the finest singers india has ever produced..

We salute u...

He is truly the best captain as he integrates the love for music with concern for all his fellow players. He always boosts up their spirits and tries to motivate them. Debojit's performance exemplifiesd this. Anwesha also seems happier with Shaan than she was in her other shows.
He and Shreya are both the most popular playback singers of today. Shaan has won two back to back playback awards and shreya has already won 3! They are both knowledgeable about music, but not in a loud way like Himesh.
Shaan especially has a huuge fan following and taht is well justified. His voice quality is fabulous- even Sonu said he wished he had a voice quality like Shaan's when he came to VOI-2. Kumar Sanu said that among Gneration X, Shaan is surely his favourite and beats other singers hands down.
Music composers like Shankar Ehsaan Loy, Vishal-Shekhar and Shantanu Moitra always select him to sing songs in their movies. Thye are all well-trained and renowned music composers. I think only A.R. Rahman hasnot yet made Shaaan sing, and the day is not far off I hope!
