To see a non native speaker sing one of the hardest songs like this is absolutely mind blowing you just made magic right here. This is why music has no barriers at all its the one language that everybody speaks and understands better than any other language.
Indian and Pakistani singer's has complex voice texture. Because they rehearse in that way from their childhood. But as a foreigner she did a tremendous job.
Complex voice texture......I have never , ever come across such a term in all my life. I didn't know voice has texture. We are all always learning. This is far too complex for me. If you guys travel out of India.... you will be amazed at the number of non Indians who can sing Indian songs.
@@malgudidays3311 I am not denying that non Indians aren't trying Indian songs! But you need to have that listening ability to differentiate . May be you can hear in this video, her voice is coming flat when the "harqats" are taken. This is not for her accent! It is about how her voice had been trained from her childhood. Indian singer or Pakistani singers when they start learning classical, they break their voice and restructure it. That's why I said that Indian and Pakistani singers has different voice texture.
Foreign ? She is not a foreigner, she is a musician, trained in Indian music. That word foreign....pffff.......i am sorry, my reaction is a bit too much i know, but i am a Hindu and i hate Modi, and i cannot tell anybody, so i will tell it here. You see, art is life, vedic is life, but in a huge huge countrie with so many flavours and languages, who the fuck is foreign ? Thes people who call them selves hindu but are caught up in rituals and superstition, i might give blood or a kidney to someone from Pakistan or Israel, and that kidney will work, so wtf is foreign ?
It's a very complicated classical song.... But how she sang the song is amazing.... Her voice is also so heart touching.... The guitarist is also fantastic.
@@SevenEyes I think, the female singer, does not practice, few ragas playing harmonium by herself with tabla "Teen Taal" after waking up from sleep, brushing teeth and without having any food/breakfast.
i usually don't comment on RUclips, but your pronunciation of the Urdu language compelled me to do so. Your performance was amazing, and the guitarist did justice to the song.
She sings as if she knows the meaning of each and every word. Very deep , soulful and she has given a new voice to the song which extensively touches your heart.
I am not Indian, but I listen a lot Indian music, and Indian technique of singing gamakas is amazing and also very complex. They are probably the most complex kind of ornamentations I ever heard.

Tanya Wells is classically trained and is the Bengali/ Hindi/ Urdu etc. 'voice' in all of Nitin Sawhney's hits. Thank you for your timelessly ascendant work Tanya. Stay beautiful, blessed and singing.
You're singing raags in my mother tongue. You're reaching straight for the 4000 watts power line that is Rahat Fateh Ali. Highly impressive. Keep walking....
This is not an easy song to sing, on the top of it if you are not a native speaker , what this beautiful girl just did is a wonder. hats off and very weldone beautiful girl
Western singers can never grasp the intricacies of Indian notes and it’s music as it’s in a class of its own. But her rendition is deserved of kudos of trying to grasp the tunes and pronunciations. Indian music is truly soul food.
I don't know what to say but I must. To sing such a difficult song by a great singer like Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in a language other than your native language and execute it so beautifully alongside just a guitar absolutely deserves huge applause. It takes huge courage and confidence to do that. Beautiful !! Thanks !!
Her voice took me by the throat and buried me.. It's so freaking beautiful, as an Indian I swear it's so soulfully sung. Felt this version stir my heart
Foreigner singing at this level that's insane 🔥😲😱 I'm a shocked.. Speechless! Especially the pronounciation and vocals control nahh, it must be taken a damn long time for her 😆
And you sang in non native language so beautifully with absolute accuracy in pronunciation......just wow!!! You didn't dishearten Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan; and a justice to this beautiful song. Guitarist no exception 👍👍👍
I had not heard the original song for some time now, after I watched the movie. Today, I played both the original and this one, trust me on this…with all due respects to Janab Rahat Fateh Saab, this rendition has placed the feelings at another level. As I am typing this, I am playing for the third time. Awesome. Thank you.
All these years i lived thinking no one, no westerner could sing Indian. that it was too much for them. Madam, you just proved me wrong. Wow. that was extraordinarily good. love from India
To all those musicians with with western influence who are here " you have a good taste of music and for those about to rock... I salute you!" -Mahatma Gandhi, Drummer, Nirvana..
Wow i am truly impressed! She's not even a native speaker of the language - thanks for keeping the spirit of NFAK the legend alive with this incredible tune!
that harkat in voice, that correct pronunciation. Just know the person who sang this song originally is professionally trained classical singer and folks in think very high of Mr Rahat Fateh Ali khan so if an Indian (me) is saying you did a great job that means you actually did. Loved this rendition.
Why is this cover not viral yet??? It's such a difficult song to sing even for us Indians! Yet she sang it in her own beautiful way. I really wonder why this video didnt come up any earlier on my suggestions...😅
A lot of pakistani can not even speak urdu properly. The fact that she is not a native speaker and delivers the song with a slight minute western tone deserve a lot of credit. Well Done
Tanya is just fantastic. I listen to songs sung in Urdu only by her and everything I go and listen to the original singer, I come back to listening to Tanya
Where was it since 1 year …. Randomly found it and I must say she sung fantastic ….. yes non native always had a problem in feelings and emotions but she is just awesome in every word of this song …. Take a big salute MAM
my mind is blown omg this is amazing her pronounciation and the way she is singing, if i heard just the audio i would be able to tell if indian/pakistani singer she did a tremendous job, even the alaps she took were truly amazing
I haven't heard Indian songs or reaction to Indian songs in like 3 weeks and RUclips recommended me this video, sometimes RUclips recommendations give gems.
@@randomoutdoors8872 this song was written by Jaideep Sahni in Hindi. Not letting the Muslims steal it by claiming Sufi or Urdu shit. Go google it. A Muslim just performs it and that is it.
You are awesome. I never imagined a foreigner to be this precise in notes, pitch and pronounciation of Indian songs. What u are doing is absolutely tremendous and difficult. May god belss and fulfill all your legit desires.
This is something amazing and beyond imagination...Literally got stunned to watch the song. I am a foreign language teacher and know very well how difficult it is to do such kind of superb performance in any another language. Thank you Seven Eyes"" for this amazing effort..
Wasn't expecting this at all. The diction, the pronunciation is so uncharacteristically close to the real deal. So good that it shifted my focus from how amazing the song was actually performed. Unbelievable!
yo wth I had to scroll up again just to make sure I was looking at non desi singing this incredibly difficult song. And I love to sing sufiana song so I know how hard it is on your lungs. Phenomenal job to the singer and classical guitarist too!!
She got 95% of the pronunciations absolutely correct wowzers. Impressive
99% of accent
@@sh69khar Of course she did! She grew up in India! She probably can speak Hindi and Urdu better than most of today's Indian youngsters! 😁
I give her 100%
Iltija (التجا) * not Iltiza
Better than screeching sub continent female singers
I give her 10/10
For the first time youtube algorithm did justice. What a performance.
same here. what a gem

She sings as if she knows the meaning of each and every word. Very deep , soulful and she has given a new voice to the song which extensively touches your heart.
She should know as she was born and grew up in India

Do you mean Rahat Fateh Ali Khan belongs to India rather than Pakistan?

I cried.
Beautifully sung, no one can believe this is not her language. A natural, she has a special gift...
