no one complaint about sonu nigam being overused since 97 almost he was the main voice of srk , salman , hirtik roshan , shahid, fardeen khan , aftab shdivsani , akshey kumar and to extent ajay devgan as he sang some of memorable song for ajay in 2000... in that time period ...no one complaint when udit narayan was every where ...but for arijit every one is complaining about him being overused ...i dont think over used is a problem since rafi sang for 3 decades no one said any where that he is overused😛

I don't think being overexposed is the reason why people are vexed with his voice...He isn't anymore overexposed than Sonu Nigam was at some point...Sonu Nigam sang every song in the bollywood for almost a decade , except a few songs here and there...Every chartbuster was his...Every top album was his...But I have never heard people complaining about how overused his voice is...Like the others have mentioned, its genuinely about the voice...Arjit is getting beautiful songs and hence he is getting popular along with those songs...Ask him to sing some of the mediocre songs that Sonu sang and still made them memorable...I bet he will fall flat on his face!

No one complained because there was no twitter or many social media sites where people could give their opinion easily. You can't compare Moh Rafi with the current lot of singers. Rafi literally became the actor for whom he sang... one singer had many voices. None of the current or 90's singers displayed this quality. During Sonu, Udit era there was a proper distribution of songs amongst them. Plus there were many singers. There was Sonu, Udit Abhijeet, SP Balasubramaniam, Hariharan, Daler etc etc So much variety.. A movie contained a song sung by each of them. But these days the whole album is sung by Arijit.. that's the reason I said over used.

really :P u know all of them udit , sonu , shanu had been the permanent voices of actors of their time ...thats why sonu is considered as voice of shahrukh at same time voice of salman at same time voice of govinda ...same goes to udit shanu with these actors...when u compare current domination with eariler here u go starting with sonu Mast had all songs of sonu and music was superhit specially ruki ruki thi zindagi ,Tum bin had majority of sonu songs 1 udit and 1 jagjit ...refugee had all sonu songs ...muskaan had mostly sonu songs , kabhi kushi kabhi ghum sonu had 4 songs dominated the album , tera jadoo chal gaya had all sonu songs , rehna hai tere dil main , dil mange more , khakhe, janeman , sangharsh, koi ap sa , chal mere bahi of salman khan sonu dominated the album , haseena man jayege sonu dominated the album , dulhan hum le jayenge of salman khan sonu dominated the album , tumko bhula na payenge sonu dominated the album, jhoru ka ghulam sonu dominated...lucky of salman khan sonu dominated , 3 idoits sonu dominated. Jodi no 1 sonu dominated ...etc etc etc now for udit kuch kuch hota hai udit dominated the album , dil toh pagal hai entire udit , mohabbatien udit dominated the album , tere naam udit dominated the album , vivah udit dominated the album , etc etc ...and for kumar sanu 1990 to 1995 kumar sanu had mostly all the albums ...so everyone have dominated the soundtrack like arijit is doing now but the difference is kumar , udit , sonu songs are still remembered ...i.e suraj hua madham , kuch kuch htoa hai , tujey dekja toh yeh jana sanam lets see how long does people remember geruwa or o zalima ...i still remember when hangover for tum hi ho was over people stared disliking that song that bas yar bhout hogaya pak gaye hain sun sun ke...😛there is something lacking with current singers be it expression , voice quality something which doesnt let them to make their songs ever green like earlier days singers...

btw sonu followed rafi in this area of being different voices :D listen this u will never be able to recogzine him

I am not saying that there were no exceptions. If there was one album where Sonu dominated then there were other albums where Udit or Abhijeet etc dominated (as you have mentioned) . We had a variety of voices to listen to and there was a balance. Today Arijit sings most of the albums. You put on FM and it's mostly Arijit singing. Also a plus point that the earlier singers had was there were mostly duets. A female voice was used in the same song which added to the songs value. Even this is seen less and less now the whole songs are sung by either. There are exceptions of course. I have heard that song Vinod Rathod and Sonu have sung it. Sonu was and is talented but he has not used the variation ( by variation I mean changing his voice) in his voice in many songs is what I feel. How much ever I like Sonu or for that any other singer if I am put on a diet of songs only sung by a particular singer I will get bored. Plus as you said many of the recent songs can be easily forgotten. But there have been some exceptionally good songs too that have repeat value. I am not saying Arijit is bad or Sonu is bad..both have sung memorable songs. the problem is that there is no variety.. ghar ki murgi dal barabar jaise halat ho gaye hai.

thats what i am saying there is something lacking in current music ...and i have a strong feelings its vocal quality and expressions these days singers lack this ...arijit may be a good singer but he can not express the song it should be expressed the feeling he just sing every song in same sleepy or drunk voice ...he can not express the happiness , the pain , the badmashi element that well ...its because he dont follow muhammad rafi school of thought ...any singer following rafi sahab know this quality which make them extra ordinary ...you dont get anything extra ordinary from arijit songs ...but if u listen to this sonu number there is so much feel so much passion so much junoon so much depth at the same time so much romance in one number plus his voice complimenting srk unlike arijit
