Rafisaab's voice is out of this world. I have seen him singing 'Madhuban me radhika naachi ' live, He used to sing toughest songs with such ease.
Vineet does have a long way to go. Even though can sing good, he cannot be compared to Rafisaab. For people who DARE compare Vineet to Rafisaab...
Can Vineet do classically powerful numbers like:
O Duniya Ke Rakhwale (Baiju Bawra), Man Tadpat Hari Darshan Ko Aj (Baiju Bawra), Binti Suno Bhagavan (Taj), Duniya Na Bhaye Mohe (Basant Bahar).... all of those songs are single raga-based. Try the very difficult multi-raga-ed song Kuhu Kuhu Bole Koyaliya! Can the same wonderfully well adapted classical singer can sing songs that touches the heart and make it weep like "Babul Ki Duayen" (Neel Kamal), "Yeh Duniya Yeh Mehfil Mere Kam Ki Nahin" (Heer Ranjha), "Gam Uthane Ki Liye Mein To Jiye Jaunga" (Mere Huzoor). Can the sentimental and classical singer make people excited and laugh like in "Main Jat Yamla Pagala Diwana" (Pratigya), "Congress Ko Vote Do", "Mere Desh Ki Ladki" (parody of the famous Upkar song), "Do Jasoos " (title song) and "Band Mutthi Lakh Ki" (Chalti Ka Nam Zindagi) and the Tel Malish song. What about all of the love songs? Rafi saab was a genius.
Rafi saab was an all rounder. A legend and an institution of sangeet all in himself. Vineet is just a beginner. He is definitely inspired by this institution (which music lover wouldn't be?). But to compare him to Rafisaab or any legend for that matter is just wrong.
