There are many good male singers in India but Sonu is all in one package - buttery smooth voice, broad vocal range, key (sur) control etc. He just sings effortlessly.
As an Indian who can understand the meaning, depth and feel the lyrics, I can vouch this is one of the hardest songs in the modern era and Sonu Nigam killed it...a living legend!
At the pinnacle of his career, Sonu fought against the monopoly of Music companies, fought for artists' rights, sought pension to retired elder artists amd thus made all these biggies his enemy. They even boycotted him, esp. T series and Zee music. Learn about his great fight. The last time who fought for royalties was Lata ji in 1960-70s.
I once had the privilege of meeting Sonu-ji. I only had a pirated copy of some of his songs with me, which I admitted to him, and this legend said... "it's ok, I'll still sign it." He is a great, great man, a national treasure.
Again whenever i see foreigners react to Indian singer i wish they understood the lyrics because they r just so deep and beautiful. West, Koreans nobody can ever compare lyrics of Indian songs.
In case you're wondering what the lyrics are:- Still, somewhere inside me, there is a little life remaining.. A new heartbeat came up, I got to know that I am still alive.. Some such tenacity is there in this moment, where was this moment of mine.. now it's in front of me, should I die or should I live a little.. should I kiss joys, or should I cry a little, should I die or live for a while.. Still somewhere inside me, there is a little life remaining..

He is the guy to whom all professional singers say is more melodious than any musical instrument. No one can sing like him ...After Rafi Saab & Kishor Sir he is the most talented versatile 👩🎤 singer in Indian cinema.
Probably the most melodious voice of India ever! Guru of likes of Arijit Singh! King of kings!!! He is the only one that can also sing classic songs with full justice!
Bro he 'might' top them all? He is the Guru of all current Indian playback singer. His voice is god level. He is the new age Mohd. Rafi. Rafi was God level in 1960s in India.
His Michael Jackson of Indian Music industry... I have been listening to him since the 90s, and he's still the same as before. His voice never gets old.
Ok,so u were about to react to arijit singh,but u found the last of the legends sonu nigam. U r so lucky. U got the sun in search of stars. I really love the way u listen so peacefully to the music,otherwise, other RUclips reactors speak up a lot in the middle and don't listen to the the actual music. U r my most favorite RUclips reactor and I will love to watch u react to other Indian singers too.
AFTER MOHAMAAD RAFI AND LATA MANGESHKAR ..HE IS MOSTOMOST VERSATILE LIVING LEGEND...SONU NIGAM ..MANY SINGERS IN INDIA ARE GOOD BUT THE VIBRATIONS IN VOCAL HE HAS INSIDE HIM NO ONE CAN BEAT HIM ..HE STILL DO PRACTICE AND HE SUNG HIS FIRST SONG FOR 150/- INR.❤❤❤
He is my favourite singer. When he sings, you can feel the emotions of the song. Straight from heart. He started as an achor to singing talent show and later became playback singer. Of course he is not Arijit Singh, he is SONU NIGAM! He sings in various languages but when he sings no one can tell that he is not from that region. He sounds like a local guy with perfect accent .
You know he started singing at the age of 7 years and he is so versatile that you cannot even imagine. He has a very controlled voice with different tones. You know, he is proud of every Indian.
_EXPLORE HIM. He is the only singer in the world who can sing in any zone and any language. The best and one and only SONU NIGAM._ Edit: We want more reaction videos of him. WE WANT SONU NIGAM.
How many of you remember the 1st album of Sonu Nigam? It was Album Deewana and my most favourite 2 songs from that are i) Deewana..... and ii) Ab mujhe raat din.....
No,his first album was not deewana. Deewana came very late.His very first album was 'Rafi ki yaadein' in 1992. But ya,deewana is his one of the best album without a single doubt.
He is my favourite and The living legend of Indian Music Industry No other singers come nearby either it's traditional (Indian classical) or modern day any kind of songs
You are not out of line. Sonu Nigam is a living legend. His range, talent and how he pours emotions, his heart and soul into the song is unparalleled. He is a KING!! 💜💜💜
Now I consider myself a great judge of great singer, because a few years ago I accidentally heard this same song from Sonu Nigam , and was amazed by his ability to sing so beautifully that it could touch the soul , and I don’t know anything about Indian music , but I can tell what its like to hear an amazing song from an amazing singer , God bless you Sonu Nigam🙏🏽
This man has been singing from the age of 10 in front of audiance... His voice is almost like every child of the 90s and 2000s childhood memory in India
Bang on Duffy! Sonu Nigam has insane control on his vocals and he is a performer par excellence. I am more pleased that you got it so right. No one to replace him in this department in Indian music even today. Thanks.
Haha wat r u comparing ? New batsmen with old when fields were bigger slower, bats weaker and no playoffs and different fielding rules? Singer is judged from live singing. Arijit don't have such control in live .
Arijit still has to come a long way to stand next to sonu nigam. He is the legend mann. No doubt,arijit has a lot of potential and I am sure,he will make it some day,but since then,sonu nigam is a class apart performer.
Yes he is the best he is The Sonu Nigam he has been singing from 90s still sounds so fresh. Arijit Singh is also one of the best we have in the industry.
Hey Michael, let me tell you more about Sonu Nigam sir, we indians are super fan of this guy and his voice.. As he is himself as smooth, humble and innocent as his voice.. If u really wanna listen to his versatility just listen his album 'Classically Mild' and a song he wrote for Mr. Michael Jackson and performed by himself with Mr. Jamie Jackson tribute to great MJ. 🙏Namaste.
He is Sonu Nigam - the best singer of our generation. He is the closest we ever got to the greats like Kishore Kumar, Mohd. Rafi, Manna De, Hemant Kumar, Mahendra Kapoor and Mukesh (the Golden era singers)
U are talking about Shreya Ghoshal. Listen to her some interviews she says Sonu nigam is untouchable in this generation. U will find some comments about Arijit Singh being a legend but he also when sung Sonu Nigam song live, Swore by god and said "Im trying to touch Sonu Nigam song please forgive me if i don't live up to the mark"
This performance of him always brings tears to my eyes. And look at his face when he sings, there's 0 stress even at the highest notes you can see him hitting. Most singers would find it incredibly hard to even reach those nodes. He's an absolute God that's descended to this earth to sing. I love him a lot.
The lyrics are so beautifully and deeply soulful, and his vocal presence are both so sublime and a perfection in graciousness that truly elevates this expressive art form into a deep appreciative presence.
I 'phrase-to-phrase' agree with your reaction. The end was a 'holy cow' moment indeed and he truly has complete control on his voice. Try listening to his 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' Coke Studio version.
Sonu Nigam is one of the best legend in music industry .. a rare versatile singer with enormous talent as well as knowledge and successful in industry as well… really respectful singer..
He is one of the most talented singer in the history of this planet... feel sad for those who can't understand the language and don't know anything about Indian music...!!
He is Sonu Nigam. If he says he is the second best singer in India right now, nobody would dare to claim the first position.
Yeah,I completely agree with u.

Lata mangeshkar ji was, is, and will always be first. Everyone is second to her. May her soul be in peace.

Sonu is my favourite. He is class apart. I wonder what this foreigner is really understanding.. Sonu's range , voice is Magic
Sonu nigam sang songs in 33 languages over the years...he is also great in mimicry
