The Outsider Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 Shabbir Kumar used to top my charts, but I watched Jodha Akhbar and Sonu Nigam takes the title now after saying "Koi Koi" instead of "Khoi Khoi" For your listening pleasure around 1:01 in this video: qTfpaIe76zQ
Ram Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 How does this make him the worst "singer"? He maybe a very bad pronouncer of the Hindi word "khoi" but I bet sonu nigam sings better than 99.9% of the worlds population.
punjabi_khota Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Yeh Urdu kaafi complicated hai, but yeah, nice catch.
akshayxyz Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 I think its "Koyi Khoyi". someone can confirm from officially released lyrics.
nikred Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 I think its "Koyi Khoyi". someone can confirm from officially released lyrics. koyi khoyi makes more sense than khoyi khoyi. Note to self : Never speak to Outsider in Hindi, you could end up dead. :nervous:
Sooda Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 He is very good, that one bit of mispronunciation aside. Great vocal range. Great song too.
Utalk Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Shabbir Kumar used to top my charts, but I watched Jodha Akhbar and Sonu Nigam takes the title now after saying "Koi Koi" instead of "Khoi Khoi" For your listening pleasure around 1:01 in this video: qTfpaIe76zQ Song is sung by Javed Ali who is a fantastic singer. Sonu is good but his voice is like a girl. Prefer kadak style of Kishore and Kumar Sanu. I also rate Suresh wadekar and Udit very highly.
Number Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Jashn e Bahara is sung by Javed Ali. Sonu Nigam has sung In Lamhon ke Daaman me in this movie.
rkt.india Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Sonu Nigam worst singer This song is not even sung by Sonu Nigam, by Javed Ali.
DomainK Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Sonu Nigam is a good singer. He is probably a better classical singer than most other singers of this era. He has done a lot of hard work even after he found success. However, sometimes he does eat up his words. Sometimes the pronunciation is not very clear.
Rajiv Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 He's saying Koi Khoi = some lost, not koi koi or khoi khoi Also, its sung by Javed Ali ( Sonu Nigam ?? , not even close ) and here are the lyrics http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/jashn-e-bahara-lyrics-jodhaa-akbar/ Soye soye vaqt ke dhare hain Aur dil mein koi khoye si baatein hain
ganeshran Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 The worst singer for southie songs is Udit Narayan. :wall:
DomainK Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 The worst singer for southie songs is Udit Narayan. :wall: South has this ability of turning a great ainger into a bad one.
nikred Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 South has this ability of turning a great ainger into a bad one. So, if a singer screws up a northie song its the singer's fault. If a singer screws up a southie song its the southie's fault? Haterz :finger:
ganeshran Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 South has this ability of turning a great ainger into a bad one.
The Outsider Posted August 11, 2012 Author Posted August 11, 2012 Chalo, I gave Sonu Nigam a hard time. I thought it was sung by him, now my worst singer is this Javed Ali guy - "Koi Koi" instead of "Khoi Khoi"!
Rajiv Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 ^, he sang it right mate. It's Koi Khoi ( or Koi Khoyi )
The Outsider Posted August 11, 2012 Author Posted August 11, 2012 ^ Yaar "Koi Khoyi" doesn't make lyrical sense in the song. Maybe I should turn my petulance towards the lyricist?
