Let me first say very good analysis by Sinhaji as usual...
Uselogic I think is one of the few guys according to me who lives in reality, or else uses logic ;)
I agree with both uselogic and Sinhaji about Nihira, she is bound to be successful, just like shreya ghosal and I also want to say that there is a good chance that Himani will as well....You have to think about the amount of songs Sunidhi Chauhan sings....people are bound to turn to Himani for the same, cos I think she matches Sunidhi's skills and I dont think she is any bad classically..
SO winners....are
1)Nihira and Himani
As far as the guys are concerned no one is going to be a hit...
Reason being a lot of quality singers are around..
You have got Shaan, KK, shankar, Kunal, Udit...
and of course the one and only Sonu...
Debojit will be a hit in Bengali but I dont think he will get more than 10 songs in Hindi (MD other than Ismail)
I think the only guy who can succeed in this "GHOR KALYUG" is Vineet.. :(
Wheras Hemu If he is lucky will get a few songs, because of his Carnatic track..(only Shankar Mahadevan has that in the current range of singers).
This is life where Aashiq banaya Apne is a bigger hit than 1942 a love story...where Shahrukh is a better actor than Amir..where loud music is better than good music..
This is the same world which accepted Shabbir Kumar(worst singer ever after HR) and did not accept Suresh Wadkar.
But for true music fans like us we have the previlege of listening to SD, RD, Salil, Khayyam, JL, KA and LP.
Sinhaji, ..one correction, Md Aziz was a big hit(and number during his times)
