Initially even I had mistaken Papons identity to Hariharan, they have similar textures, but Papon is more Bass heavy, whereas as Hariharan is slightly open throated and has better range than Papon. Papon has ideal voice for Ghazals, whereas Hariharan can sing almost everything, right from Ghazal to something like Hai rama yeh kya hua. No, I don't agree that Papon is better than Hariharan.

Well I guess it comes down to tastes and preferences. I myself a huge fan of Hariharan. His " Ay hairathe aashiqui " from Guru is one of my all time favorites. But Papon's voice gives me more joy than Hariharan. Just like no matter how highly people rate Lata Mangeshkar or Shreya Ghoshal, my personal favorite by a long shot is Alka Yagnik. Almost all my favorite Bollywood songs from the 90s and 2000s have been sung by Alka Yagnik. Under_Score 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_rules Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 VQ of both are good, they both are classically trained and have a great sense of Shruthi (sur) . Hariharan has sung great ghazals as well and has a batter repertoire of songs than Papon, Papon’s Bengali and Assamese folk songs are pretty awesome Only issue with Papon is he is tainted, I hope he has realized his error in judgement in that controversy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find Papon more balanced. Under_Score 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bharathh Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 His best song IMO. Got a lovely voice.. got pulled into some stupid non-music related issues just when he was taking off in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
