  • What an ignorant stupid uploader this is. Western Standards of Music are completely different to Indian Standards of Music. And as far as South Asian or Eastern Music is concerned like Ragas - Nelly doesn't even come close. She can't even pronounce the words properly.

  • why are u cussing ur own kind for. u sayin people like gurdas maan and satinder sartaj are shit?

  • No she hasnt . i must admire her courage and interest in Indian music . its not easy to sing a song of a language ,you even cant speak .

  • bad nelly. 

  • Putting Indian Artists to Shame? Wiered...huh. Probably who put this title didn't actually listen to Indian great singers like Lata Ji, Asha ji, Great Mh. Rafi and Kishore... List is too long. Manna dey and all late singers and today's gener like Sonu Nigam are too far and high to even compare with any such attempt. Spitting on sky will only end in spitting on your own face.

  • no where close to an indian artist-----but a fair attempt though

  • i think its just her accent, which makes this song sound weird..... otherwise she is very nice singer....

  • Ah,, Nelly.. comon. This song is so awesome..But you ruined it.

    It would have been much better, if you would have sung in your original voice rather than imitating Lata..

  • 1 the title is wrong, not because she shame or whatever, you guys should be proud for a "Western" like you so racist like to call. 2 she sing in her version in her way, since her style is different, which is different from the original. 3, she is not copy nobody, and like someone said its bollywood that copies a lot of music and films from the "Westerns". 4 please don't compare traditional hindi music with hip hop\pop western, and study the real music and you see that is complex too.

  • Shame??? I dont agree..... i think u are naturally complexed person!

  • Nelly Furtado puts Lata Mangeshkar to shame? yea...right....retard!

  • stupid description!

    

  • ewwwwwwwwwwwww................­............... its the worst thing i have ever listened to. she's a shame in the name of singer. she can't sing ANYWHERE near our Indian singers. i can bet anyone and this "singer" is just making me really get mad over western music. western music is NOTHING as compared to INDIAN. and its a shame for us that SHE is trying copying us. i just hope people understand what REAL MUSIC is.

  • @NiharikaVats Brother this brings pride to Indian culture. She can't sing (in your opinion), but she definitely does not insult Indians in this. The fact that she is singing makes me proud and lets the world know about Indian songs.

    BTW, most of the current music out of Bollywood are copied. The good ones are copied from other songs, the non-copied ones are crappy. So don't go yapping about real music and real singers from India.

    Lastly, I am into old Indian songs that are classical.

  • @NiharikaVats You clearly are brainwashed into thinking that Indian music is Indian. It is taken from all over the world bro. Know the facts before making comments.

    You clearly don't know what music is. Music has no boundaries and this isn't even imitation of the so 'real' Indian music. It was only meant to be sung like the way you would. I bet you sing this song. That doesn't make you an inferior singer.

  • I just hit the disklike button..not for her attempt but for the title....

  • I don't think so. Sounds terrible. Good try though.

    Lux

  • GOD! she sings BEAUTIFUL! not every woman can do that!

  • I guess the Title is suggested by a Pakistani

  • No she doesn't put them to shame. She doesn't sing the words well enough.

  • She has a very nice dress~!

  • LMOA!!! hahahaaaa

  • you have to know the culture to attempt to compare the two types of singers. she did SO well for someone that's not indian. but like others have already said...she doesn't come close to lata, asha, or any of the current indian artists.

  • What a stupid title. Her attempt at singing an Indian song is decent for a non-Indian singer, but it doesn't come anywhere putting any average Indian singers to shame, let alone the good ones.

    Besides, her Western singing style is very unsuitable for a traditional Hindi song like that, since the melodies and tone system in Indian music is generally more complex than Western music.

  • @Jagged85 The funny thing is that traditional Indian singing is extremely grating to Western ears. To me, she sounds better, not worse. More complex? I'd say unnecessarily ornamented.

  • All you Indian people getting so defensive.Get a grip! Nelly Furtado is a Canadian singer/songwriter.She wasn't born in India or with this culture.This is probably something she learnt during her tour in that part of the world in a short period of time.Keeping this in mind,Nelly sang this beautifully.I've heard the original and its great.I wouldn't say Nelly puts Indian artists to shame but this is a wonderful. performance.I also suspect she did it in the spirit of fun so don't get all serious.

  • Come on guys she is not indian so forgive her

    i like 1SCHARKY comment man but how come u grew with indian music

  • whats up with the title? any true appreciator of Bollywood music knows that this is nothing compared to the superb and sensational Lataji and all the rest of Bollywood's great celebrated singers

  • I was born in Afgahanistan, raisd with indain and Afghan music. No one on the planet puts indain artists to shame. You better do more research about indain music. The orignal singer is "Great Lata". You campare the light bulb to the sun. Ofcourse Lata is the sun.lol peace

  • @1SCHARKY I dont see this so called sun of your selling millions of cds worldwide..

  • no one can come close to mukeshji or lataji.. least of all an untrained singer such as herself.. her voice quality is lacking, and she lacks proper execution of indian classical technique. but, certainly, props to her for attempting! it was nice to see.

  • WOW not bad nelly!!

    and what's up with the title?

  • FUCK HER

  • wtf..she sounds funny...nice attempt but please dont try that again nelly.

  • You can not compare her to even amateur Indian singer, her accent is so funny. She sounds like someone drunk before singing

  • ALL NELLY NEEDS IS A REAL PUSSY POUNDING FROM ALL INDIANS!

  • Duh? When a indian speaks English,that sounds great!

  • Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayaal aata hai

    Ki jaise tujhko banaya gaya hai mere liye

    Tu abse pehle sitaaron mein bas rahi thi kahin

    Tujhe zameen pe bulaya gaya hai mere liye

  • This funnnnny

  • Hardly putting indian artists to shame. You blatantly have no idea LOL

  • She sounds better than most Indian artists? I mean, I thought that was a great attempt, but let's not go overboard with the flattery.

  • WOW. I already loved her, after hearing that and being Indian i wanna marry her.loool

  • Ok she is beautiful but if she sing this song like that in front of Indian audience probably everyone will sue her. She made a hit song sound like shit. And i can say that cause i am an Indian who understand this language and have listened to the original song which sounded beautiful. No hard feelings

  • why tp put such bullshit title she sing very well and we must appreacite it

  • Nelly is gorgeous and got a great vocal range

  • UMMM..........

    She did a great job with the song but Indian singers have way more talent at what they do.

  • Very good singing. You should hear Indian singers singing in English..........anyways she is Portuguese

  • look up dil de diya and listen to that song....u would be amazed

  • she sang ok for someone who doesnt speak hindi, but in no way putting indian artists to shame! come on man... she could never ever be trained to sing even close to these indian artists. they are gifted singers who are the best in the world no doubt. just listen to how indian songs are structured and u would realise...she cant even be compared to them....

  • all indian songs sound the same and all indian singers sound exactly the same.

  • Hey, I am an Indian and can confidently say that she sang the song better than atleast 99% of the Indian population can. Listen to it yourself she hit the notes so well that's what singing is about not language end pronunciation. Commenting about a singers talent based on a couple of words is stupid and disrespectful to music itself.

    Great effort most won't even dare try she's so genuine and great..

  • @aluri1971 she hits the notes for sure.. but would she be able to sing it as well as lataji? of course not.

  • lol , the one who named the title of this video is a fag totally , or is one of zillions of dumb americas

  • Seriously, the person who posted this clearly has never heard the original version. Indian playback artists just exist in some other league altogether. On top of that, Nelly Furtado truly doesn't understand what she's singing. She's 'belting' it like a Western pop song! (Her enunciation also sucks a little.)

  • um no she doesnt put indian artist 2 shame cuz she sounded type akward singing the song but she did do a nice job

  • err stupid title idiot

  • She sucks.

  • Its a matter of taste,right? I think some of the comments are hilarious.Singing like a Westerner,foreigner? What a hoot! I have never heard a person sing like a location or like they are from some other place.I could also never imagine me seeing an Indian sing a pop song and saying they sing it like an Indian.What a truly dumb statement.You have to have the talent to sing any song nicely,no matter what genre.She's talented and sang this song beautifully..period!

  • If you're going to skip half the words, anyone can do it.

  • I'm sorry, but you are absolutely incorrect. She is singing this song like a westerner and thus losing the beauty of the song. Foreign artists are far more versatile singers than most western singers. By your standards, she sings this song well. However, by Indian standards, she does not do the song justice.

  • She didn't put Indian artists to shame. She was just having some fun and the people seemed to enjoy it. She sounded pretty good for a non-Indian though. ;o)

  • ???????????????????????how????­????????????????

  • Shes amazinggg (:

  • its not putting them 2 shame. she did good 4 some one not indian. but she doesnt meet there standards.

  • She is not even in league. Its good for her that she at least managed to sounds correctly.

  • agree, "what a crap/bullshit heading"... our indian artists puts those goras to shame, as these ghoras (ya horses lol) are singing our indian songs... plus our indian artists sings their english songs way better than those ghoras.. "take that stupid dumb heading off yo clip"... ur downgrading us indian... hate uuuuu ....

  • @KILLERandSEXY Racist much?

  • @emwill02 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz BORING !!!!!!!!! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • @emwill02 uuuuuuuuurrrrrrr UGLY &&&&&&  BORING !!!!!!!!! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • @KILLERandSEXY You make me feel so good! Oh yeah and BTW my BF is from the Sub-Continent so I'm not the racist one, I'm sure you can't sing, it matters not what race you are, all can sing. Look up Emily Smith.

  • what they trying to say is the guy in the end didnt know the part of one of my classic songs ever made

  • For someone new to hindi, that was surprisingly really good. but putting indian artists to shame? i dont think so.

  • yoo that was crazzzyyy !! damn she really put indians in shame . lol GO NELLY !!!!!

  • if you don't like the title don't blame her, blame the poster

  • apples and oranges.

  • I don't see how this puts Indian artists to shame.I think she makes indian artists and india proud that she is interested in hindi and hindi songs being a canadian

  • @cuteefeezee thery're trying to say she's better cuz she doesn't have a clue what she's saying

  • agreed! 

  • wow shes really good :)

  • Comment removed

  • LMFAO jus stick to singin in English!!

  • @nashp

    she was awesome

    you know it

    i know it

    we all know it

    u just have hate in you, you need to get out

    people like you shouldn't be allowed in human body

  • sing a punjabi song

  • She asks an Indian guy to sing the last part and he does not know it.. that explains the title.

  • @greenpinetrees whoa hold up..so wut are u trying to say that u expect us indians to know every song ..that has been played throughout the media..is that it..do u know all the words to american music by heart...oh okay then..noo this still does not explain the title...

  • putting Indian artists to shame........are you fucking mental?

  • If You Heard Indian Music You Would Understand, She Can Sing But Not As Could.

    She And The Other Canadians Let Justin Bieber Out Of DayCare.

    Just Saying.

  • my god...

    seriously. stupid title

    its called diversity...we should be proud other people like our music and stuff

    get a life..

  • what a fucking gay title. seriously she's trying out there, way to be a complete idiot and diss someone's who's trying!

  • OMG she was excellent she has such a good voice and how did she put the artist at shame ur such a retard

  • isnt she italian? lol shes good to sing a hindi song

  • come on ..... the singer looks hot and the singing was really cool ....... but what's with that lame heading...... putting indian artists to shame!! .... saying that is so lame ..

  • lame

  • haha Nelly furtado VS Lata Mangeshkar?

    U wished.

  • how the fuck does she sing better?

    this song was originally song somewhat 50 YEARS AGO!!!

  • good attempt nelly, but FAIL! she puts to much wiggly stuff in the voice. that's not part of hindi music.

  • Good attempt, but def. not putting Indian Artists to shame as the title suggests...

  • she sounds arabic lolll..stick to habibi ..habibi...isn't their a copyright infringement...

    stupid idiots ruining indian songs...

  • hey thats mean shes really good for an amatur

  • gosh menq she ruined the whole song and its like my fav

  • Is this ruining?. Indian chick sing like hell, I am surprised Indian men dont jump out of the window more ofthen....watching a bollywood movie is horrible

  • omg...she sounds like an indian singer!

  • pathetic

  • lol i love the way she sing this is so awesome! <3

  • she sounds like a retard .. wrecked the song completely .. nelly .. shut up and stick to english songs .. u aint that great a hindi singer coz there is no place for ur whiny style there ..

    its like asking ja rule to sing opera ..

  • Considering she doesn't know the language - she was superb. And please, you're criticizing her for being whiny?? Have you even heard hindi songs or watch hindi movies? Don't make me laugh.

  • i have heard indian songs .. some singers are whiny some are not .. but that song was a classic that was wrecked by her awful attempt .. the whole heading of her putting indian artist to shame doesnt go well .. the same way if an indian artist attempted one of her songs .. it would be an epic fail ..

    didnt mean to step on ur tail bout it .. but if she didnt know the language and couldnt say anything right in the attempt .. it isnt superb at all :)

  • I guess we're looking at it from different angles. The way I view it, is that she made an honorable attempt to sing a song in a foreign language in her own style and was so gracious to her fans and her South Asian friends. That kind of class and cultural awareness, to me, is superb.

  • HAHA, wacha talkin about?. Indi movies slaughter music, those make me feel suicidal...this vixen sounds cool

  • its an aquired taste i guess .. but as i said ..if she couldnt sing in the language the attempt is not superb at all :)

  • haha i love nelly furtado

  • no she didnt put indian artists to shame i bet this person dont even noe what she is saying she is terrible i can sing my favorite song better than her twice as better sorry for being a hater but stick to ur own

  • LOL, when are you going to release your record?. I guess you are Sharukan or someone like that haha

  • She definitely doesnt sound better than most Indian artists.

  • nice she is good at indian songs keep it up

  • wtf shes not indian so how could she put it to shame and plus she sang really good

  • wow... nice :D

  • she sang this song really good...bt hw can b video named as puts indian on shame as she's nt indian she cant sing hindi as good as indian artists do..its bt natural...so plz she did not put indian artists on shame...

  • well, thats what it is: She's couraged enough to do this as well she can and she made a fine job here!

    @63goldengoal : nelly is born in canada, but she's speaking nearly perfect spanish.

  • give her some credit for trying... I know she is not spanish, but I love it when she sings in our language cus even tho u hear her accent she tries!!!

  • that's cute!

  • she sang this well, but didn't even come close letting this sound better than Lata did.

  • So you're saying this sounds better than Lata's version?

    Because no, it doesn't. She's putting an Americanized style on it, and it just sounds...bleh.

  • very ture!

  • lol That was funny but she did well as a foreigner...

  • very very good effort well done

  • Awesome !

    Really appreciate her efforts to sing in a foreign language.

  • @chuckbuck8 its hindi(hindu) if u cant tell

  • She did a better job than Deevani did w/Daddy Yankee. Much love to Nelly!

  • she is out of tune!

  • ThT WAs Good !!

    Being a foreigner she tried and it was good !!

    U've a shit knowledge about music dude, U cant sing that betta being an Indian

  • . She's supposed to be a professional huh ? She is Portuguese Canadian . I'd like to see a professional bollywood singer Sing in Portuguese. I'm proud of her for trying.

  • she wassoo gooooood

  • Agree with "denzelnolet". Also, the indian tone voice is just unbeatable!

  • Come on guys!! she's like recognizing some admiration of your Pop culture and you just critizice her!!

  • she raped the song....damm

  • Im sorry to say this but she is better then the orginal er voice

  • nice try but you aint any where near the original singer Miss  better luck next time

  • nice attempt...but sucks

  • DO YOU SING?????

  • she sounded beautiful, but she definitely cannot compete with the original singer. and i highly doubt she would even what to compete with the original singer.

  • Anyone who thinks that Nelly Furtado did not sing the song well is being stupid. She sung it beautifully and she could sing overall. In terms of other Indian artists, she is a little above average but considering the higher standards for Indian artists and their vocals, she is a lot better than other artists in the world.

  • wtf Indian singers are way better i cant eve understand wat the bitch is tryin to say!! :s

  • Indian artists to shame? lmfao Indian and Pakistani singers/poets are some of the greatest that existed in our past few centuries.

  • @denzelnolet I AGREE !!!

  • Nelly cant ever be compared with anything written in your poor barbaric countries! :-)

  • get the title right. that person is just one from crowd - no artist

  • asha bhonsle lata n stuff are way better than this chick!!

  • she sounds horrible

  • I don't see how this puts Indian artists to shame...

  • @fandanstan

    look in the info box lol. shes better than most of the indian artists at singing!! :} lol thats why they feel ashamed of themselves :S lol

  • @fandanstan yehh i dont get how she's putting them to shame

    she did a good job juss cuz she's not indian

  • @fandanstan It's because Indian artists are moving away from the originality they once had to imitating other forms of music....

  • @fandanstan bahahahahha

    i know ayyy...

    

  • a very gud effort...

  • Where was this?????

  • She sucks .. not putting shame to any indians.. she is way behind indian standards

  • she doesnt necessarily suck...her style is VERY different from most traditionals...but she's good from where she's coming.

    hurray for crossing cultural boundaries!!!

  • better mind naming the vids right dude......shame is on U

  • To the person who titled this clip as "Nelly...puts Indian Artists to shame". What exactly were you smoking? I mean I give Nelly full marks for attempting to sing this in an alien tongue - and on stage. Great. But, that apart, the end result is pathetic.

    To say that Nelly puts Indian artists like Lata and Mukesh to shame, on the basis of this performance is atrocious.

    I love Nelly, but her rendition here is comparable to (as also stated by someone else here) beggars singing on mumbai trains!

  • It's ABSOLUTELY awful and embarrasing to hear. I applaud the effort but the result is mangled version of the original and VERY BEAUTIFUL song.

  • wth is everyone raving about?..she sounded horrible..cant even get the words right..i have seen videos of japanese people on youtube singing better than that.
