Kahan Raja Bhoj aur kahan Gangu Teli!(I sincerely hope that readers of this post construe whom i 'am alluding Raja bhoj & Gangu Teli to, lest they think it is the otherway around😆 )

Lataji has sung this song when she was about 64 yrs and sounds like young girl & still going great. Kumar "Nasal" Sanu is nowhere to be seen nowadays & ppl are already started calling this Kishore copycat as "legend".  Only "jab koi baat bigad Jaaye" & "Ek ladki ko dekha to"(because of RDB) sung by Sanu da appeal to me.

This ordinary song has nothing special in terms of lyrics or compostion to deserve any special interest or attention.

And finally we say Lata & Rafi are the best not just because of respect but because they are THE BEST. Need i say more?

To me, Kumar Sanu's voice sounds better than Lata. I think his voice is better.

Better singer: Well, both are good in their own ways. Lata sings more classically while Kumar Sanu sings more like Kishore Kumar's style. I think Kumar Sanu still rocks.

Kumar Sanu is better. 😊

(I know some of you are probably going to disagree, but we just say Lata/Rafi are the best to give respect.)

You are just saying that Lata is better because she's old? To give her respect?

It is also true that Kumar Sanu is better than Asha Bhosle.

i dont think you have even listened to rafi saahab singing.. rafi can tear sanu apart in any type of song except exceedingly nasal songs...
As far as rafi is concerned, i will say 1 thing:
i have not seen god, but i have heard him.

Do you know what Rafi Saab once said?

he said "People listen to us and we listen to Manna Dey!"

Don't ever forget the living legend!

Kumar Sanu is better than Lata.

Lata is better than Rafi.

Get it?

They are all good.

Yes the old singers could handle diferrent song types in various voices. Rafi and Lata are established legends no doubt who dominated the music industry. Sort of a monopoly.

 

But I would praise the composers and the musicians for coming up with great music for the singers to sing. And also the lyricists.

Nowadays there are many good singers ( difference is that they are not so versatile).

at sandip : well rafi saab loved classical music i guessed and without a doubt manna is the best classically trained singer.

at best guy : we understand perfectly that youre🤪 trying to compare sanu (the yester year himesh reshammiya) to mohammed rafi saahab.
Lata is nowhere near rafi!
She's the best female singer, but  there have been lata clones..
but a rafi clone? naaaaaaaaaah!!
raif is god. only kishore da can be compared to him that too , just compared.

rafi , kishore,lata and asha are the 4 components of the sun.. evry1 else are just candles...

Can't Kumar Sanu be compared to Rafi and Lata?

of course not!!
Sanu is a diluted nasal version of kishore da...
rafi and lata were original voices who's career of 40 years lasted more than sanu's pitiful 10 - 15 yrs..
