The Maestro...


Sonu Nigam...the name itself is enough. This man is GOD. period. There are just 2 people on earth whom I idolise, one is Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar and the other is Sonu Nigam.

Yeah sure, I immensely admire and respect singers of the yesteryears namely Mohd. Rafi and Kishorda, but for me personally, Sonuji is the definition of singing. He is where it begins and he is where it ends. His euphonious voice, his ability to bring in immense emotion and feel in the song, his excellent vocal range, his versatility are all par excellence. He's someone who's reaping the rewards of all his years of struggle and he deserves every single bit of it. Picking out my Sonu Nigam favourites is a tough job but still, here's my list of Sonuji's best songs:
1. Kal ho na ho - Kal ho na ho
2. Yeh bekhudi deewangi - Tumko na bhool payenge
3. Tanhayee - Dil chahta hai
4. Saathiya - Saathiya
5. Deewana tera - Deewana
6. Chanda ki doli - Chanda ki doli
7. Chup chup ke - Bunty aur babli

There are definitely many more...but these are the ones that came to mind instantly...

Sonu Nigam...a legend in the making. Cheers!!
