yes Hariharan is the orijinal singer ....i heard Hariharans version first so when it was remade in Hindi it was not the same ......i did not feel the same magic .......i like sonu but for this song i prefer Hariharan .....as for Hema he is still very young .....it would be unfair to compare a new budding singer to sonu or Hariharan who got their fame only after struggling for so many years.😊
maam, i think a lot of how we perceive music, beauty, literature, poetry etc has to do with "us", the "receivers". like they say, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. if i am a texas yahoo who's grown up around a texan accent, it wld be hard for me to appreciate the nicetes of a different dialect or language, no? sonu nigam could give the best rendition in hindi, but some of us would still find something lacking there, no?😛
