If he is that good how come he hasn't won a filmfare award yet? The only talented singer, composer that we have amidst us is HIMESH RESHAMIYA, everyone else pales in comparison.

Shaan, Sonu, KK and Kunal are just ordinary singers when compared to the genius of HR.

agreed there is no one like hr

shaan sonu kunal and kks voice are very soothing to the ears😉.how can we compare "the great hr" to them😉

The other K factor
The three Ks of playback singing in Bollywood - KK, Kailash Kher and Kunal Ganjawala - have successfully made ground for a generation of singers with no formal training. Here is an update


ON A HIGH Singer KK is a voice to reckon with now in playback singing
It needs no coaxing to make KK say what he has to say. An out and out raconteur, a delight to any interviewer for sure, this Delhi-bred Keralite in fact begins by admitting, "I have been very lucky. I have got songs that have exposed my voice to a good range. Be it "Tadap tadap" in HumDil De Chuke Sanam Aapke Hain Kaun or the title number from Dus, it has offered me opportunities to check myself." The bonus is, they all have become hits, he adds. To add to the shimmer, one can note here KK's hit film songs like "It's the time to disco" from Kal Ho Na Ho, "Tu aasman" from Jhankar Beats, "Awarapan" from Jism etc which have made the nation either drool in emotion or tap feet. "I always attempt to do a few projects, something that allows me to be different," he maintains. With no formal training to count, KK aka Krishna Kumar Menon from Delhi's Alaknanda one fine day got himself to release a music album Pal with support from his friend, philosopher and guide, Leslie Lewis in Mumbai. The songs - "Aap ki dua se" and "Pyar ke pal" in no time ruled the lips of the youngsters and KK's quick march to celebrity-hood commenced. "After coming to Mumbai, I sang ad jingles which gave me money. I always wanted to become an Indi-pop singer. Playback singing was never in my mind. So when Vishal Bharadwaj asked me do a number for Gulzar sahab's Maachis, I was not keen. Then A.R. Rahman had called me and he was too big to be told no," relates KK. The journey soon took him to the high road of success as he began to deliver one hit after another. "I wish Is had undergone some formal training. Music for me as a youngster in Delhi University was Pink Floyd and Guns & Roses," he says. Fame Gurukul Now on the panel of judges along side Javed Akhtar and Shankar Mahadevan on Sony TV's talent hunt for singers, Fame Gurukul, KK feels a long-time desire has got some fulfilment here. "I agreed to get involved in it because I thought it could also teach me something that I might have missed by not getting into any formal training of music," he adds. Having already sung in no less than nine languages, KK says, he is at present busy recording songs for Illayaraja's son Yuvan Shankar Raja's films and Subhash Ghai's 36 China Town. "I am singing a Punjabi song in Ghai's film. Despite being a Malayali, singing in other languages has never been a problem for me. You have to have your diction right and get over the initial inhibitions," he explains. New album But what is indeed keeping KK busy now is his second music album. "Hopefully, it should hit the market by this October," he informs. Vishal Bharadwaj, "a good friend", who provided lyrics for Pal, has again done the lyrics. "There would be eight to nine songs in it," he adds. Knowing his singing, you know already that more than one of them would hit the bull's eye.

Cheers to this Delhiite!
