there is difference between eastern and western music.....main difference is of bass and scale....westerns sing in sharp and straight voice.........but there is a lot of viberation, up and downs and melody in indian singing........sonu has mastery over it.....but here we should appericiate his effort...and don't forget that here he is singing live.....
Don't know where to call on this one. Sonu is so well established as an icon within the Hindi Playback genre that perhaps he feels the need to experiment and seek challenges elsewhere. This performance somehow does not add up. I have heard Manna Dey sing Bing Crosby's version of ' Oh Danny Boy' and reveled at the sheer versatility of his voice.. This one isn't one of those performances. Sonu himself keeps a very high standard.. an hence as fans we expect better things off him... fingers crossed!
This is hilarious.... c'mon man you have a good reputation in what you are meant to sing, but this is bad as fuck... westerns are good in their own way, and eastern has it's own class, but sonu can definitely can't mimic sting and talking about cheb mami, not at all.... and if you say's that can stig or cheb mami sing any eastern..... go fuck yourself you stupid as bitch..... english is a universal language. y the fuck sonu couldn't sing arabic??? BTW no disrespect to sonu..
FTW!! Why you fuckin embarassing urself man!! tha was totally horrendous Sonu bhai!! these songs not meant for you bro....you dont have the accent even, so beta stick to your hindi songs, please please please!!!
he is a grea singer and probably the most talented indian singer at present time... but he sucks at this song.... he dint rather i should say couldnt give the intro properly...
even in some part of the song... he was making sargam of his own...
the man should stay in his own genre .... he is best in that field
chutiyapnti.....sala kisne bola tha isko achche khase gane ki maiyaa karne ke liye......chutiya sala...!!! o bhai....tu hindi gane he theek se gaale yahi bahut hai hamare liye....!!!!
orignal song name is desert rose sung by sting feat.cheb mami.its also avaliable on youetube listen it its owsome and also compare to sonu desert rose the bull shit.
The best thing about this guy is that he can imitate any singer around, almost !. See his video with johnny lever, you will go MAD! . Talent=Sonu nigam.
I love sonu, and never missed any of his concerts. I will say, it was definitely a good attempt by Sonu. But there is something that can never be copied from Cheb Mami, and that is his accent. I have had shawarma in every region of the world made by arabs, but none of them got even close to the original taste of shawarma as in Lebanon. Thats all I am saying. But it was an excellent attempt by Sonu, but the biggest thing missing is the Arabic accent!!!
an open challenge to all English artist to sing just one Hindi or Udru song.
English people has proud of themselves, though they r just nothing, Pick all the english music and observe, they all have the same meter usually, an open challenge to English people to write and explore Eastern Music.
Im thinking to give a more Hard reply against all those post who says that "It was not good"
Well said, Sir!! A very true observation. Most of the so called "singers" from the west couldn't carry more than one meter in the same song. Forget about the vocal range. They couldn't hold a candle to any one of the Indian singers. And Sonu is still young. I am not even considering the more mature singers from the past & present. Le Viva, Sonu!!
Both SOnu & Matthew Gordan Sumner are different singers and both have done justice to this song. I cant put one over another. Cheb Mami was super too with his Arabic.
I think it was a nice effort from Sonu. Truth is that Sting is legend, Cheb Mami is legend and Sonu is legend as well. So please don't compare them. He just tried to do something new. Obviously he can't get 100% of Sting and Cheb Mami but still appreciated. Keep up Sonu. You are the king. Love Sting, Cheb Mami and you all.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
sonu rooocks and he muuuch better dan sting...he is singing much betta main... he is da king..sting don have da energy like sonu has...sonu da king..remember
Sting is Sting, and Sonu is Sonu. Sting is legend, and Sonu Nigam cannot even sing the Arabic singer's line very well. Sonu Nigam is a good singer, but he is the best in India. Like Kumar Sanu can never be Kishore Kumar; Sonu Nigam cannot be better than Sting. Sorry!!!
I don't think Sting can sing one of Sonu's songs, let alone a line from them. Still, there is no real comparison between the two. Cheb Mami's voice though is amazing.
Sonu Nigam proves himself again... gosh this one was awesome... considering the fact he is singing alone compared to the original where in 3-4 different singers are singing in parts...
Look at the rhythm he maintains throughout the song... simply comendable

yuck - i think the guy is great at his hindi songs and he's totally hot, but he killed this song - desert rose with an indian accent is terrible!! at some points it's tolerable but mostly terrible - lemme go see another song so he can redeem himself

I've admired sonu from some of his great songs, but he can't compare himself with Cheb mami, he's not of their competition. SOnu shouldn't have tried that...or should have paid mami for fame
Sonu Nigam Is The Best Singer!!!!

He's making a fool of himself. He is such a good singer and should stick to his own songs. Why does he have to sing someone else's song.
