  • Are aap log sonu nigam aur rafi sahab ki comparison mat karo .. Sonu to sirf tribute de raha hai rafi sahab ko...ye concert ke bad usne khud kaha tha ki jin logo ko rafi sahab pasand nahi un logo ko sangeet hi nahi malum...aur rafi sahab sabse mahan singer the....sonu him self told this ...so pls dont compare.....and we cannot compare any one with RAFI SAHAB....

  • Sonu my be grt singer but he is nothing compared to Mohd Rafi.....No mardangi in his voice....

  • the song is kiling me looooooooove it

  • who r those son of a bitches who disliked this such a brriliant tribute to god from anoter god...................:)))))

  • THIS MAN IS NOT ONLY RAPING MOHAMMED RAFI"S SONG.... but also fucked his accepted brothers wife ...spoilt a kids life in name of SARASWATI mata name... the brother in question was .... BABUL SUPRIYO... for this DOGS unknown people runs to wathc a show....MOHAMED RAFI WAS THE MOST CLEAN HABIT SINGER EVER IN BOLLYWOOD... and his voise had depth and not shaking like this ...

  • Mohd. Rafi is far better then Sonu.

  • I reckon Sonu tries to sing like Mohammed Rafi. I don't think there is a major difference in their voices if you compare.

  • Rafi is not legend he is a miricle legends may changed with times but mricles happned once in centuries so sonu is good no dount legend of his time but RAFI is ever lasting as etrnal .............

  • who are those 5 stupids? Sonu is the best! the under rated star

  • Tm log rafi or sonu ko compare kyun kar rahe ho sonu to rafi kotribute de raha ha wo koi competition thori kar raha ha wo khud rafi bhai ko apne se acha manta ha.....

  • no comparison .......rafi iz far better..but sonu iz far good

  • He is a joker....

  • Sanu is not Rafi ...He may be trying with new tech.sound systems...and there never ever will be one like him in a natural sound singing. Like wise Elvis Presley there never ever will be one like him.

  • Calm down dears! No one, not even Sonu by his own admission, has ever claimed that he is a better singer than Mohd. Rafi. All this man is doin is paying his respect 2 the extraodinary talent which Rafi was blessed with. Rafi's voice has been measured at 7 ocatves...if u know anything about music then u'll appreciate that this is an incredible range normally found only in opera singers. Sonu's vocal range is no more than 4 ocatves. & remember, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

  • Really really Boring

  • sonu is best yar. he can do any thing in singing

  • sonu is a All rounder sonu hi kisi ka song ga sakte hai kao aur nahi ga sakta hai!!!!!!!!! kya rafi ji sonu ka song unki stile me ga sakte the ye bahut badi baat hai ..

    I love Sonu ji Best..........

    yaha only class chal raha hai studio recording nahi ho raha hai

  • I think he is doing a good job for general public.. But if he wants respect of people who have listened rafi for years, he needs to do proper justice to rafi's songs and thats something sad about this legend. I never heard rafi singing somebody elses songs and not singing them equally good. :)

  • Sonu is in a class by himself... He's not Rafi he's Sonu, the best around right now!!

  • sonu you are awesome raa I LOVE YOU SSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCHH...... you are the best singer in world...........

  • no one but sonu is everyone

  • i like Sonu coz hez a real music lover God bless him.

  • I also started to love Rafi Sahab only because of Sonu Nigam.

    and Because of Sonu Nigam I started respecting the Legends of Indian Music, much more than before.

    I like his attitude towards music and the Legends.

    He is the Singer what a Proper Singer should be like.

  • Imitation is the best for of flattery, besides the person who imitates can never be as good as original. Sonu's imitation does not lessen Rafi's matchless talents. All of us have tried to imitate Rafi daily at some time or another, don't we all wish we could sing Rafi's immortal songs in his voice ? Sonu is living his dream, doing what most of us dream of only.

  • Please Please Please Sonu. Save our Souls. I humbly request you Not To Imitate Rafi and disgrace his voice.

  • @24satish buddy listen the original songs, you will find that he is not copying Rafi Sahab, he is singing those great Compositions as a tribute to Rafi sahab.

  • @24satish 24 hey 24satish you don seem to know anything about music...please stop from giving meaningless comments...Sonu nigham is paying a tribute to Rafi by learning Rafi's songs which cannot be sung in any different way in expression but like himself if someone tries it would sound just different but not better. Rafi saab set a standard which probably cannot be bettered. Why don't you try to learn Rafi saab's songs and sing it in your own style?

  • ape.

  • we saw in Manchester awesome

  • whts the second song called?

  • not even close....

  • he's awesome but can never compare to rafi

  • Fat Sonu makes Rafi like sound , really!

  • He maybe a good singer but has a weak and thin voice... especially when hitting the higher notes. You can hear the voice tighten and strain!

  • no energy and vry immature voice ...!!!!

  • Sonu Nigam jas a superior talent and is fully deserving of all his great success. And his youth and showmanship are extremely attractive!

  • There are too many singers in India and Pakistan who sings Mohammed Rafi's songs and copying his voice, but I think only one person is very near to his voice and he is Anwer, who sang too many songs in Indian films, even in the life of Mohammed Rafi sahab, of course no one can sing as Rafi, it is a fact. U can watch the song of Anwer, click the link

  • @canadianguy1957 with all due respect to sonu, thats not a bar for being a good artist. while sonu is a good copier that does not mean anything.

  • guys no one is questioning rtafi sahab here.... but the fact that sonu can sing it so well and so close to how how a legend sings is commendable... just chk out the videos in which he mimicks other artist...or maybe he singing in a female voice ...its ultimate

  • Sonu is a good singer - credit to him. BUT nowhere Rafi ji - Abhaas is better than Sonu on Rafi's songs.

  • Sonu Nigam is an ordinary run of the mill singer that one finds dime a dozen in India.

    Rafi Saheb is a once in a millenium singer.

    His excessive vibrato and thin weak voice is simply ruinous.

  • @ahmedhemani88

    ordinary? Run of the mill? I beg to differ. Yes, Rafi Sahib was supreme, but Sonu is great in his own generation. He is wise and a terrific entertainer, so give credit to him for his dedication.

  • Comment removed

  • sonu nigam Rocks....!!!!!!!

  • it was a disaster !

  • i agree we cant compare this performance with rafi saab but consider facts:-

    1) Orchestra was fast n sounding bit western, without tabla,

    2) We cant compare recorded songs with live performances

    3) By singing 10 songs in 10 minutes u cant generate full feelings

    3) We hav heard mohd. rafi's voice to these songs since child hood can't digest new voice

    4) Yes he is the only one who has calibre to sing mohd. rafi's songs , see old sare gama clips or search yaad-e-rafi , kal aaj kal album

  • a good try!! i am not sure what Sonu is trying to proove by singing only Rafi,s songs, not just one or two, but hundreds of them. there must be a motive behind it. i doubt if any other singers are also trying to copy Rafi. Sonu is talented and can sing different types of songs. but, when one listens to Rafi, others are like eating bheli after burphy. i am a fan of Mahendra Kapoor, but, i admit he is not in the same class as Rafi. Udit has a good voice in the present crop of singers.

  • He is not trying to prove anything. This motive thing is in your head. From what I have seen he just seems to be a very very big fan of Rafi. He admits as such and these comparisons people make here are thus meaningless.

  • true say

    he has said timeand time again tht Rafi sahab was and still is his inspiration and goes as far as calling him his 'bhagwan'!!

    SO DNT COMPARE PPL!!

  • HE IS NOWHERE NEAR RAFI.

  • He don have to, Sonuji has his own voice and great style....both are Fantastic singers...im great fan of both..

  • Fantastic

  • Sonu Niigaam is da KING..

  • tere maa ki choot  jangli

  • I'd love to see him, wonderful singing!

  • sonu sb kya baat hay sara banawti gana gatey heen saf pata chalta hay k bari shokhi say mood dalne ki koshish kar rahay hen sorry aap sirf rafi sb ko suna karen gana ap k bas ki baat nahe sirf surila hona kafi nahe hay feeling kay khuda thay rafi sab

  • A million doller observation

  • to realmantra -madarchod ganwar behan ke lund pata hai tujhe sangeet kya hai...

    kutte ka pilla sala...

    sonu u r greattt...

  • kya laand jasa geet gaya behenchod sonu nigam

  • hahaha.,..only idiots do comparisons... others just listen and appreciate ;-))

  • ugly voice,,Rafis voice is full of LIVE. this stupid kido need his feeder. and sonus fans,,start crying buhuhuhuhuhuuhuhuhu aaa buhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuu

  • stop taking dope and you should be okay! Hope you are feeling better! Listen, stupid, you have no idea of music so just stop being a Rafi fanatic and get back to being normal, I doubt if you can do it, though! Sonu is very close, if not perfecting Rafi's voice. You and other idiots who don't understand "sur" cannot understand it

  • aaahahahahahahahhaha

    "Sonu is very close"

    hahahahahahhahahahahhahaa

  • You are Rite Rafi is best

  • What i fail to understand is why do you guys compare Sonu with Rafi? We all know Rafi was legend of his time and Sonu is legend of this time.

    Sonu has never claimed to be as good as Rafi so why do we always leave so negative comments?

    I have started to love Rafi because of Sonu.

  • The comparison is unnecessary.. Sonu grew up listening and singing Rafi Saheb songs.. he said in an interview that he never met Rafi Saheb but Rafi saheb is like God to him... When Sonu worships Rafi Saheb then why do we need to compare both of them. Sonu is a great artist.. I hope he will continue to legacy of Great Rafi Saheb...

  • a little thing: --sonu is the legend of his time and Rafi is the legend of al the time.

  • @koolgul please dont mind but if u would have liked mohd rafi before u woudnt even think about sonu nigam

  • @koolgul Absolutely Correct...

    I also started to love Rafi only because of Sonu Nigam.

    and Because of Sonu Nigam I started respecting the Legends of Indian Music, much more than before.

    I like his attitude towards music and the Legends.

    He is the Singer what a Proper Singer should be like.

  • i meant songs not song

  • i don't agree with your language but this guy is only 10% there with his singing in this song compared to the maestro

  • You have to understand that this is a live concert and now Sonu has developed his own singing style...

  • i love the orchestra....

  • In 1965 he was honoured with the Padma Shree, a coveted award of which any Indian citizen would justly be proud. In 1977, Rafi Sahab received the 'Rajat Kamal' award from then Indian State President, Sri Sanjiva Reddy at the 25th National Film Festival Awards.

    Humble, unostentatious and soft spoken, and yet a giant among musicians.

  • Rafi Sahab was the sort of genius who appears once in a life-time ; unique, his golden voice continues to flow like essence drawn from several jewels, a constellation which enriches, in a mystical way, the firmanent of music, the spiritual peak of eternal silence and of the celestial world that listens to itself through the voice of cherubic Mohammed

    Rafi, the immortal singer who is interpreter of that very sublime silence.

    great effort by sonu , but not even close to the legend!

  • Rafi Sahab was one of the greatest forces in the history of the Indian sub-continent culture.

    His Immortal Golden Voice still rules the hearts of millions of Indian music lovers the world over.

    In his music circles he was simply known as 'The Voice', because he was so famous for the way he put his heart and soul into every rendition.

    Humble, unostentatious and soft spoken, and yet a giant among musicians.

  • Rafi Sahab scaled heights of fame and popularity that no other Indian singer ever has or ever will with his haunting melodies that enchanted lovers of music all over the world. He had an unblemished illustrious career and retained an untarnished and highly dignified reputation in an industry which at times is more known for its vices than the good it produces.

    Humble in the extreme, soft spoken, a gentleman like no other and an embodiment of refinement.

    Rafi sahab R I P!!

  • are you a nerd or what?repeating the same thing over and over again.

  • Rafi sahab was a man of tremendous integrity and very often sang without charging a fee for struggling music directors.

    Words cannot do justice to comprehend what this artist was about.

    Alas, there is no substitute today to listening to his voice.

    His style truly reflected the man's character.

  • Rafi Sahab was the greatest and it is impossible to conceive of another singer ever attaining the range,  the versatility and the awesome emotion that his golden voice always contained.

  • teri ma di fudi,zorajumblebean.that means fuck your mother,zorajabeen.you think what?you know alot about mohd rafi,is it?don't try to sound so bombastic when talking about mohd rafi otherwise the bomb will explode over your head and send you to the heavens.

  • Not only the nation, but Indians aswell as the millions of non indian fans, the world over were stunned on 31st July 1980 when Rafi Sahab left this world to indulge the heavens with his silky voice.

    His 'last journey' commenced from 'Rafi Villa' in Bandra on that sad and wet day as tears from heaven fell on earth, but The Voice never left us. To his ardent fans Rafi Sahab will always be immortal, for The Voice will always remain with us.

    R I P RAFI SAHAB!

  • These people wouldn't be singing these songs, if Rafi sahab wasn't a legend.

    These concerts etc are TRIBUTE to the great legend.

    SONU Nigam calls Rafi sahab his idol and is a massive fan of Rafi Sahab like any of us.

    But there was and always will be only one Mohd Rafi  and nobody comes close!

    HE is the BEST...... period.

  • ramsis11,you are machod haramzada pariah dog.i challenge you to a fight you bastard.i want to see who will be beaten to death.you or me.but before you fight,go and masturbate and drink your own poisonous sperm.ramsis11 is a filthy dog.

  • sonu nigam is the master of ruining mohd rafi songs.

  • Uh come on just be yourself, just do not ruin the songs....Please thank you..

  • Pagalbudha, I think it wasnt Sonu Nigam fault, it was the music it was more classical west there was no Indian, desi, Pakistan rhythm..

  • Comment removed

  • what?sonu nigam brilliant?don't make me laugh till i cannot laugh anymore.sonu nigam was simply pathetic and plain lousy when he sang mohd rafi's song on the stage.i cannot comprehend how the audience could even sit down and listen to this horrible,paper-thin voiced singer and clap at his performance.

  • Pagalbudha, your name suits you. lol

  • so what it the name suits me or not.the fact is that sonu nigam disgraced the great name of mohd rafi with his terrible rendition of mohd rafi songs at the concert.we can make do with less of this kind of concerts.

  • It was a flop. There was no tabla or rhythm. Just a flat concert with no life.

  • sonu nigam,what do you think you are?the next mohd rafi?stop your nonsense immediately and don't destroy mohd rafi sahib songs by trying to copycat his songs.you will never succeed by attempting mohd rafi sahib's voice.

  • This man is the re-incarnation of the great

    Rafi. There have never been such a singer.

    The problem is he does'nt want to imitate Rafi

    more and he is singing the Rafi-songs without any practise, too easy and sometimes not 100%

    Just check his Volumes 1 till 8 cd's, he sung.

    He's singing 8 songs a day for a cd and Rafi

    did 2 weeks for 1 song.

    So the wonder boy has became too easy, but still the greatest Rafi singer, ever.

  • I personally feel people should not sing others songs, in public, especially when that other person has passed away. If you are talented, you should be able to come up with your own lyrics and songs. I'm condemning the jumping on the success of others for self-promotion. Good songs need not be sung by others to bring them back to life.

  • sonu nigam not only tear apart my beloved mohd rafi song,he destroyed the holy temple of my dear mohd rafi's voice with his own ugly and horrifying rendition of the great mohd rafi songs.can any judge kindly pass the death sentence on this useless singer of a sonu nigam.

  • Pagalbudha, you are are a pagal donkey's ash-hole.

    Sonu is singing Rafi songs 100 % correct, so there must be to much donkey-sheet in yr ears

  • i think ur the one with crap in ur ear, y dnt u ask sonu wht he says abt Rafi saab , he calls Rafi saab his bhagwaan and says tht he not even 1% near the legend Rafi saab!!

    so if u sad tht crap infront of sonu he'd smack u in the mouth!!

  • i will smack you in your mouth.

  • Comment removed

  • the music is great, but something seems to be missing

  • i know whats missing hhh...

    rafi sahab's awaaz

  • tabla !

  • I think he did great. He has done much better before but singing live is tough let alone to singing Rafi's songs. Because people will compare. Keep it up Sonu.

  • I only want to say this much Sonu Nigam couldnt sing even to his own good singing standards. He didnt do justice to even one song sung by Mohammad Rafi . All websites in india, Pakistan , or else where are full of comments of his bad performance. Its not about comparison as there is no comparison because Mohammad stands tall and undaunted and its the reality that nobody matches him even comes closer to him as far as his singing is concerned. Sonu Nigam is no doubt a good singer but failed here.

  • Sonu is a brilliant singer, granted tht he doesnt come close to the legend tht was Rafi saab, but he doesnt make such claims. Besides sonu i dnt see bollywood making any attempt to pay tribute to the master Rafi saab. This was sonu's love and admiration for his idol and i think he done a superb job, especially as he takes every opportunity to pay tribute to the one and only Rafi saab.

    Well done Sonu!!

  • Anyway your comments are welcome but I believe you need to understand my comments. Sonu is brilliant singer and he has been doing great but in this particular show he sang even below his good singing standards. I didnt talk about claims or no claims. Its the difficult part to master the variations of singing. I hope you would understand.

  • i know wht ur saying and of course your entitled to ur opinions, i also understand where ur coming from wen u say it was below sonu's usual standards, yes maybe it was not his normal singing but its easy for us to make comments, not so easy to perform live song after song of the legend and master Rafi saab. Again i say , well done Sonu for a wonderful tribute.

    thnx for ur comments and discussion.

  • Its not song after song evaluation and this is not the first time he has performed live .. you need to know that he has been singing since 1993 actively. there are many live performances on very bad kind orchestra and he performed superbly. You need to buy the live performances he had given in USA and India may be then you would understand. Yes thats true for us its difficult but for his calibre and for his love for Rafi saab it is definitely below the the standards even from the very first song

  • again, its easy to talk, talk is cheap, but i dnt think you or me could do better than sonu, do you??

  • Hmmm .. it seems a bit personal .. hehe. there are few who can sing better than him.yes as far as me or you concerned we cant .. may be 15 years back I could .. but i know sur, taal, raag, pitch , variation .. just for your kind ifnormation even music directors can not sing the way a singer sings but he still directs .. do you know any reason? Its the knowledge and creation of songs.. anyway take care

  • it wasnt meant to be personal...lolz,

    and i dnt think there is any singer better than sonu at this present time so i think i'll have to say tht we shud agree to disagree!! again hats off to sonu for his love n devotion to the one and only legend tht was Rafi saab!!

  • hehehe... my dear emotinal friend .. nobody is degrading sonu nigam , its the way he performed. anyway if you think it is good and you feel better this way .. then ok you are saying right... i dont want to make it a war of words .. i am here to make good friends who love singing and singer like Mohammad Rafi

  • This is so different to Sonu's previous work when he did Rafi songs (in the early/mid 90s).

    The former was better imo.

  • Don't get me wrong guys, I acknowledge Sonu as a terrific singer but the Master was and still is ustad Rafi Saab.His songs have been tried to be sung but are never matched! The magic is just not there. Rafi could send a shiver down my spine by just his voice and this without any music. That is real character and depth.Sonu is in a different league to the Master.

  • yr only saying that cuz U grew up hearing him

  • actually Rafi saab's fans include young kids, who were born after he passed away!!! his songs will liv on forever and sonu nigam is a fab singer who idolises Rafi saab, hats off to u sonu for paying such a brilliant tribute to the legend Rafi saab!!

  • i totally agree with u... Sonu did a good job.... but im sure even he knows there is no comparison! Mohammed Rafi is a Legend!

  • you idiot! no tabla ?

  • excellent

  • YOU WELCOME BUDDY

  • i just missed that bcas of my JOB...
