I am G.Suresh for those of you who don't know me, this is my second posting in this forum , it is unfortunate that my earlier one 'Has Arr not copied Narumugaiyae' has to be deleted due to some controversies.

Coming to this latest one , We have lot of singers who resembles SPB in singing, closest being Mano, Arun Mozhi and on one song by Ramesh "Rahde en Radhe.." in Japanil Kalyana Raman, Can we identify here who comes next to SPB in terms of Soft voice and versatality. My choice is Arunmozhi , Awaiting response

  Hey dudes..cool it please..It is not a question of jealousy.
  
  Amit - ARR is a southie. U listen to him. dont you ?
  
  I am a southie and I listen to LM a lot.
  
  It is just that SPB has achieved much more than Kumar Sanu has. That is the point people are trying to emphasize. Kumar Sanu has till date not sungs ANY classical number. All his songs are run of the mill ones. Mostly recycled from the old junky tunes. Some examples are:
  
  (1) kyaa tum mujse pyaar karte ho
  (2) soldier soldier..dil ko udhaa le gayaaaaaaaa..(Man... I feel as if he is strying to sing while somebody is strangling him )
  
  He ofcourse has his share of good songs too which are overshadowed by the trite numbers he sings most of the time.
  
  good numbers:
  
  (1) saans ki zaroorat
  (2) do dil mil rahe
  (3) rooth na jaanaa
  
  But the point is that the effort I have to put in to search for the good numbers of Sanu equals the one I need to put in for the bad numbers of SPB.

  Please let us shed this COMPLEX out of us...UDIT has very melodious voice and when he sings for Aamir khan....UDIT ...voice melodu munnal...SPB...verum KAALTHOOSU dhan...
  Just like that we are cheating ourselfs by unnecessarily degrading Udit and Kumarsanu...

  I am amazed and upset that such grossly different and inferior quality should be compared at all with legends like SPB.
  
  Kumar Sanu thought/thinks he is Kishore kumar's successor and has forgotten to sing thru' his mouth.he is absolutely abysmal.
  
  the much hyped udit is a shade better than Kumar sanu but no comparison at all to any of the good singers in Hfm or tfmi(past singers). let us not insult SPB by comparing with these bunch of nasalists.
  
  HFM has not had really a complete voice after the demise of RAFI, Kishore or a good ranged voice like Mannadey.it is very unfortunate tht HFM has to be content with Udit/Kumar sanu/sukhwinder etc.,
  HH is good only in ghazals.he started off well in TFM/Hfm but today he is terrible in higher octaves.Shankar mahadevan has a powerful voice but he is not very consistent. perhaps with some sustained efforts he can render good songs.
  
  Also Charan is no replacement to SPB. He lacks shruti control and no originality.
  
  we will probably have only one or two like Rafi or SPB in a Millenium.

  even the combined voices of rafi,kishore,jesudas,hariharn,uk,srinvias,etc cannot match that of spb who is the most versatile genius in the history of indian film music with a voice that has no paralles

  I am just so upset 2 c people who do not have any sense in music(A.A) talks of junk singers like Udit, Hariharan, Shanker mahadevan, Sukvinder singh. these nasalist only survive in music world cos of ARR, he is the one who introduced these nasalist to TFM. although ARR introduce some good singers like Unni Krishnan, Unni menon, SPB.Pallavi, Anuradha Sriram, Sujatha.
  
  Dr. SPB is the one & only intermes of :
  
  1. Most beautiful voice, that is so sweet
  2. most divine voice
  3. ability to modulate extremly well
  4. Ability to sing from rock to classical without any difficulties
  5. his voice is so sweet when he talks as well
  6. He talks 4 so many actors, if the films are dubbed in other languages (Kamal, Mohan)
  7. Famous Music director
  
  I do not know if any body realises the fact that SPB has directed for 25 films!!!,(Sigaram, Thodikum karangal) that is an awful lot 4 a singer , out of all 25 he directed they were all super hit.
  
  I know for fact that S. Janaki directed for one film in tamil.
  
  Questions:
  
  1) How many films did M.rafi direct music for?
  2) How many films did KJY direct music for?
  3) how many films did TMS direct music for?
  4) how many films did hariharan direct music 4?
  5) how many films did lata or Kishor kumar direct for?
  
  I need answers !!!
  
  also that AA idiot says that "the nasalist Udit's khaal thoosu SPB, when it comes 2 melody", that just shows how stupid & idiotic he is when it comes to music!!!.
  
  I can not imagine IFM without SPB, it would stink like shit!!
  
  SPB is the lord of IFM!!!

  @webcache01a.cache.pol.co.uk - first pick up the courage to use a regular ID and then come to discuss music. Agreed Kumar Sanu is not in the league of SPB right now but that is because of the time SPB has spent in the industry. And unfortunately most of the stuff that is popular is usually worthless trash composed for him. Have you listened to KS in Maya Memsaab? Kumar Sanu has DARD in his voice and he has excellent vibratto. TFM has always gravitated towards male singers of less than manly voices. Witness TMS,UK and even SPB at times. HFM on the other hand always goes for MANLY voices.

  //"? Kumar Sanu has DARD in his voice and he has excellent vibratto. "//
  
  what crap is this whats DARD and vibratto! dei english'la pesuda...
  
  
  //"HFM on the other hand always goes for MANLY voices."//
  
  like saif ali khan, salman khan, r manliest guys to sing to..
  
  
  Maya mehmsaab is the biggest junk i have seen on the planet. anyway u seem intent on talking nonsense.
  
  u want people to notice u thats why u r talking trash.! best if u r ignored like kumar sanu!
  
  as i told u b4. HFM with its infinite lack of wisdom will welcome any such inanities that u vomit. so keep all ur vaccous opinions in hfm and stop boring everyone here.
  
  I dont think that people like u should be accirded the common decency given to other forumers

  "Kumar sanu has dard in his voice "..ha ha ha ...he sure leaves a dard in our ears while he sings...even i doubt this Amit is an IMF incarnate ...
  
  Honestly guys..i have heard a couple of blind singers in the Madras electric trains sing better than this Kumar sanu...if anyone listens to the junk he sings for Nadeem shravan and Anumalik they will sure know what not to listen again..ever in life...

  vandhuttAnunga pa edhO discuss panna. I suppose HFM and its singers are not worth discussing. So they come to TFM and try to trash all our musicians.
  
  Comrades, your good male playback ended with Kishore. Your good female playbacks will end with the Mangeshkar sisters. Your good composer line ended with Panchamda. If you guys want to listen to good music nowadays, your only option is to listen to the music of the south or a south Indian music composer like ARR. But knowing you guys, all that you will listen to will be the likes of Annu Malik. AndavA!! ivanungaLa needhAn kAppatranum.

  dear amit khanna:
  
  Kumar S does not have dard AT ALL. He causes "dard" to his listeners though :-)))
  
  And dont quote Maya Memsaab, please. Thats probably Hridaynath's most pedestrian album. I wish he had NOT done that, considering his high level of talent. But atleast know which examples to quote.
  
  PLEASE STOP INSULTING EVERYONE HERE BY COMPARING A THIRD CLASS KUMAR SAANU TO THE GREAT SPB
