I disagree with most of the people on this..Poonam is a very good singer no doubt..But she choses the songs very aptly, otherwise she is not versatile. She cannot sing a soft romantic song with her voice. So many times she exerts unnecessary pressure on her voice which is why it seems quite strained and not soothing. U must be remembering Vishal has pointed out the same thing twice and he was very right in saying so. Her 'mujhe rang de' started hurriedly and the musicians had to play the track faster (than required) to cope up with her song. But yes, certain songs go really well with her strong voice like Vande Mataram, Hungama Ho Gaya(all Asha Ji's fast numbers she can sing nicely) and some sad songs like 'Maula'. But I'm sure she can't do playback singing for heroines(especially romantic songs). May be she can go for those sad songs in background..
She also sang "Tose Naina Lage Re" which is a soft romantic number... not sad.. nor fast...
The track is not being played by the musicians in AP... The track is pre-made (sort of like karaoke) so she could not have gone faster unless that is how it was supposed to be.
Below are the songs she sang.. to prove the versitality point..
1. Babuji Zara Dheere Chalo (Sonu Kakkar)
2. Hungama Ho Gaya (Asha Bhonsle)
3. Sanam Mere Humraaz (Kumar Sanu, Alka Yagnik)
4. Ae Dil-e-Nadaan (Lata Mangeshkar)
5. Mere Maula (Richa Sharma)
6. Tose Naina Lage (Shilpa Rao)
7. Meri Saanson Ko (Lata Mangeshkar) this was a romantic number as well
8. Baras Ja E Badal (Sunidhi Chauhan)
9. Mahi Ve (Richa Sharma)
10. Tadap Tadap (Kay Kay)
11. Shubu Shubu (Asha Bhonsle)
12. Tare Hai Baraati (Jaspinder Narula)
13. Humesha Tumko Chaaha (Kavita Krishnamurthy)
14. Mujhe Rang De (Asha Bhonsle)
15. Laila Main Laila (Nazia Hassan)
16. Vande Mataram (Lata Mangeshkar)
I am sure after this list you will agree that she can sing all types of songs as most of these singers are successful playback singers and versatile as well..
