There was a time when Himesh Reshammiya used to be the most famous music director of the whole bollywood industry. That was the age when he sung so many super hit songs. But honestly telling I never liked his song. There were many reasons. First of all and world famous is that he sing from the nose. I did not like the nasal tone in the songs so I just hate those kind of songs. Secondly his songs were all full of noise and I like the peaceful songs.

Then he started acting also. This was just another failed attempt to show his talent which he did not have. His acting is very poor. He don't know how to act and many times we have seen him overacting in his movies.

Himesh reshmiya got first break in Bollywood by non other than Salman Khan, when every one rejected him.he started his career as a music director in salman khan movie.in his direction all the music sudden got instant heat, he earned a fame in short duration.

Then he tried to experiment with his fame, he shifted his gear from music direction to playback singing, in that process he wanted to project himself  more as a singer than music directer, this experiment got failed after some time, then he tried to project himself as all rounder like kishore kumar, by singing acting and music direction, this lead him to jack of all trades title without perfection.

Himesh Reshammiya is a person who is a great human being, a awesome singer, a brilliant music composer, and an impressive actor. He has given many superhit songs, with an impressive 38 hits in 1 year( his debut year) which was on the news( BBC). Some of his hits include:

1.Assalaam Vaalekum

2.Tera Mera Milna

3.Tanhaiyaan

4.Mehbooba

5.Jhalak Dikhlaja

6.Aashique Banaya Aapne

7.Tera Suroor

8.Aap Ki Khatir

9.Naam Hai Tera

My personal favorite is: Tera Suroor, in which he sung in a nasal voice( which is his style).

In spite of his popularity, Himesh Reshammiya has been the target of

criticism. In the past, his critics had suggested that success has gone

to his head, and that he had signed on films indiscriminately.

His nasal twang has been criticized by many. Reshammiya initially

defended himself saying that his voice is not nasal, but "high-pitched

singing". Later, in an interview with The Times of India, he said "I accept I'm a nasal singer."

In his debut film as an actor, Aap Ka Suroor - The Real Love Story, Reshammiya added a song Tanhaiyaan from Boney Kapoor's proposed film Milenge Milenge.

Initially, Reshammiya had composed the song for Kapoor's film but later

decided to use it for his own movie. Tips, which held the audio rights

of Milenge Milenge, accused Reshammiya of copyright violation, as audio rights for Aap Ka Suroor - The Real Love Story were acquired by T-Series. However, Reshammiya defended himself saying that he had made Kapoor listen to the song, but it wasn't included in Milenge Milenge.

He also claimed to have tried to get in touch with Kapoor for seven

months, and since there was no progress on the film, he decided to use

the song for his own movie. In June 2007, they reconciled their differences after Reshammiya apologized.

In November 2006, Himesh remarked that Mukesh, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and R D Burman

had a nasal style of singing. He also claimed that he had thirty-six

hits in a year, and none of the above mentioned artists "ever gave the

same number of hits in a year".

He said this in response to allegations that all his songs are

nasal-based. The remark invited the wrath of late R D Burman's wife, Asha Bhosle. Later, Himesh clarified that his intention was not to insult R D Burman and apologized several times to Asha Bhosle.

In November 2006, Reshammiya and his co-artists were questioned by

the Income Tax department about their income from a concert in Surat.

The organizer of the show, Nanu Ghaswalla, claimed that the IT

officials were upset because they had been denied free passes for the

show.

On June 27, 2007, Himesh Reshammiya visited the shrine of Sufi saint Moinuddin Chishti, disguised in a burkha,

reportedly to avoid crowd of fans. Some people objected to this, and

some even felt that it was a publicity stunt for his forthcoming film.

Later, Reshammiya issued an apology for "offending religious

sentiments", which was accepted by the Anjuman Committee that runs the

shrine.

The Khadims(servers) of the Anjuman Committee said that he had not

committed any offence, and there was no need for an apology.

Himesh Reshamia ... now here is a man who has brought about quite a stir in the Indian music market. First he got pretty popular with his hit music direction on various movies.  Almost everyone agreed his songs were good to hear and made him a hell lot of money.

Then he did something which got the whole of India divided. He began singing.

Well I have to admit , I am not a fan ... atleast not of him as a singer. Some of his music numbers which he directed are quite the music for our ears but once he started singing , he got the people divided with two mindsets. One bunch taking him to be the next Indian Elvis or something ... while the other bunch hating his nasal singing from their guts.

I always hated his looks which got complemented with his nasal singing and I hated him all the more. He somehow managed to pose an air of arrogance about himself.  It could be the way he acted as a judge in those music shows or it might as well be his bearded look with a red cap irrespective of whatever dress he might be wearing. In a nutshell I began hating him ... like half of India.

I have always been a part of the later group. Always hated his songs , well the ones he sang.

I always wanted somebody to tell him that he might be a good music director but then thats where it ends. He should stop singing right now.

But as time passed, I figured that I may have been too judgemental.  Maybe , there is a whole sect of people who love his singing and that if I didnt like his singing , I didnt have to hate him , I could .. maybe just not listen to his songs.

Then I happened to watch him on a interview and I was pretty humbled by his reactions to the questions. He gave pretty simple and straight answers. He didnt have a bit of arrogance like I thought. He had been given a pretty hard time both as a music director beginner and as a singer.

He admitted that he didnt have much talent especially as a singer and that whatever is happening is because of his mom's blessings. I couldn't agree more , it had to be something beyond his talent because I didnt see much .. not as a singer ... and a person who was humble enough to accept it could not be arrogant.

As time passed more of his songs became immensely popular , especially with the middle class Indians and the kids. So try your best to write him down as much as you can but the truth is there is a large sector of people who love his songs and there is absolutely nothing which can be done about it. Not anyone can give 38 hits in his debut  year.

So I would suggest this to the people like me , who do not like his singing , try changing the channel of the TV or the radio ... but bewarned .. there would be a lot of changing of channels which would be required . Love him or hate him .. he is here to stay .

“Ooooooooh Ooooooh………”

If you have lived in India during the last couple of years, you’d recognize that nasal humming instantly. The capped-crusader has been everywhere since late 2005 when Aashiq Banaya Aapne (ABA)was released. That was the first appearance of Himesh, the star.

For those of you who were following Zee’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2005, you’d know the startling image makeover in Himesh before and after ABA. The shoddy wig gave way to a hep cap. The dumb gujju look had been smartly replaced with a grunge stubble look. The soft, shy Himesh had metamorphosised into an aggressive, confident, vociferous personality. HR had arrived!

Since then, he has gone from strength to strength, churning innumerable hits, as a composer and as a singer. The nasal twang in his voice is very pronounced, but the masses simply loved it, and lapped it up with open arms.

The so-called connoisseurs of classic music dismissed HR’s singing as cacophony, and sniggered at his success. But that didn’t deter HR who continued playing to the galleries, and in the process, even notched up a Filmfare Award for best male singer, much to the chagrin of the Bollywood elite.

With so much success, HR had to change, and his arrogance and overtly melodramatic outbursts on the new SRGMP series is rather irritating. Especially when he berates a Pakistani Sufi singer in his Gharana for trying to sing other genres, and screams at the top of his voice “Mujhe tumhare ghar mein roti chahiye”. If that isn’t proof enough of success having gone to his head, he boosts his ego further by carefully promoting his “mystery man” image, that “HR never smiles because of some mysterious reason”, and “HR always wears the cap because of some deeply shrouded secret” etc.

When the suspense and the hype reach proverbial proportions, the egomaniac in HR decides to encash on it by actually making a movie “loosely based on his life”. And yes, he stars in it, composes music, and croons too. What else? And the cap doesn’t come off, contrary to the pre-release hype that HR’s publicity team created about “Watch the movie to find out why HR always has his cap on”.

And so “Aap Ka Surroor- The Moviie. The real luv story” releases to a packed audience. Within a couple of days, all the trade pundits unanimously declare HR’s debut to be a massive hit. The music had already been declared a chart-buster anyways. In short, for HR, the dream just doesn’t seem to end.

The Bollywood hotshots continue to snigger, and discredit  HR’s success as a flash in the pan. They even liken him to Altaf Raja who, a decade ago, churned out one of the biggest hits in Indian music with the interestingly worded “Tum to Tehre Pardesi” and created a rage among the masses only to disappear in a couple of years. The critics simply panned the movie, and dismissed it as trash. In fact, it became fashionable among the sophisticated elite to actually catch a scene from “that ghastly HR movie” and talk about the nightmares that followed since.

With every intention to shred the movie to pieces, and with a deep desire to finally be accepted among the elite, I embarked on the torturous mission of watching “Aap ka Surroor” last weekend. As I waited for those ghastly scenes to haunt me, I realized I actually started liking the movie. HR is not a great actor by any stretch of imagination. But he has done such a fabulous job in creating and nurturing his brooding, eccentric, arrogant, egotistic image that when he does the same act on screen, you don’t find it unnatural anymore. In that sense, HR was definitely decent. The movie had some great locales and the music was very good. All his songs anyway grow on you after you’ve heard them a few times. There are some pretty faces thrown in, and the movie is really slick at just over 2 hours. In short, “Aap Ka Surroor” is definitely watchable.

If you are surprised that I am recommending it after my tirade against HR, let me assure you that I am equally surprised for having recommended it. However, if you are expecting to know why HR wears his cap, the movie doesn’t reveal it. Instead, just watch HR on the “Koffee with Karan” show where he very candidly confesses that the cap is intended to hide is baldness, and nothing else. In fact, the chat show also portrayed HR in a very different light, and HR actually came across as a humble person.

Despite all his eccentric outbursts and odd mannerisms, one cannot deny the man his due. He is the only composer, singer, hero in Bollywood who has been successful at all three at the same time. Not even the great Kishore Kumar can match that !

PRESKRYPT: This review continues from where The Krypt’s previous review, which crunched some abysmal numbers(yeah, he just admitted that; yeah, he doesn mind talking about his failures; yeah, for that, he can also be called “Saint Krypt”; yeah, this thing within the bracket’s getting too long; yeah, he’s gonna end it; yeah, this’s the last one; yeah, he fooled u; yeah, THIS’s the last one; yeah, he fooled u AGAIN…errm.ok, that’s it), left off. It’s an amalgamation of fact and fiction. U decide which’s which. LIVE.

*CIRCA 23rd JULY, 1973

*The Krypt switches off the T.V, stretches his bony arms, gets up and walks over to the window, peerin out aimlessly. The skies were fiery red, it was blazin hot and the roads were well aflame.ahhh. PERFECT weather! He decides to head out for a lil stroll. He walks n he walks. He gets outta Hell’s gates and onto wot’s called the ‘Common Corridor’. He walks past the Gateway To Heaven. St.Peters is positively mortified and slams the gateway shut. The Krypt grins and continues walking. He reaches Hellen(for souls too angelic for Hell but too evil for Heaven), signs his name in the register and enters the Gateway. The place’s fulla beautiful fairies flyin around- with red horns and poisonous fangs. The Krypt recognizes a long bearded, super frail man seated a few yards away on a bencha spikes.

“Hey Nozzie, ” he calls out and sits beside him.

Nozzie shakes his head and sighs, “How many times, Krypt? It’s Nostradamus. PROPHET Nostradamus.” The Krypt shrugs.

They begin chatting. Of angels, of devils, of the Ramsay Brothers’s sickenin make-up artists… suddenly Nozzie freezes, as if in a trance and prophesizes:

“Earth, Heaven, Hell, all constrict,

In fear of the birth of the Evil One today,

Heed Nostradamus’s warning, oh Gods, oh Krypt,

Heed all, for the Dark Lord is on his way…”

He slumps for a coupla seconds, shivers violently and, then, is back to normal.

“Wot?” The Krypt asks, puzzled, “You talking about Lord Voldemort, Nozzie? But it’s only 1973, there’s more’n 2 decades left for Harry Potter to be written! Nozzie, dude, accept it. You’ve lost it, u’re goin bonkers, u’re just-”

“Oh, shut up, Krypt, ” barks Nozzie, “It’s not Voldemort.It’s.It’s someone else.”

The scene freezes. The words “someone else” keep echoing in the air like heartbeats.

=-=-=

*SAME DAY. A MATERNITY WARD. SOMEWHERE IN BHAWNAGAR, GUJARAT

*Doctors surround the woman in labour pains.

“Its comin, ” shouts one.

The surgeon helps the baby outta the birth canal, with his gloved hands, dangles it upside down and whacks its you-know-what. They all shrink in astonishment as the baby cries not the usual “Waaaaaaaahhhhhhh”, but “Uuuuuuuhhhhhhhhnnnnnn”.

=-=-=

*PRESENT DAY. HELL.

*The Krypt’s comes and stands beside his fiery red Porsche, ready for the journey. He’s dressed to kill. Actually. Wearin a black rubbery jumpsuit(The Krypt’s anti-leather) with sockets and pockets all over the place for weapons, he’s finally gonna get the guy who killed his loved one, recently(there is a pause here. If u dont know WHO the Evil One killed, go read The Krypt’s previous review…. And u thought MouthShut’s the only one who can place ads in between reviews). He opens the back door oh his Porsche(he’s got ze styyyyyyyyle…ok, ok, he knows u know), drops in the weapons, hops into the driver’s seat, pops in the key and with dollops of anticipation, starts. A thousand thoughts rankle his skull, as he thinks about the Evil One he’s gonna erase…

~~~

When veteran Gujarati music director, Vipin Reshammiya, named his son Himesh, he’s no idea he’d just made giants and super-devils go seek refuge in far-away caves, flowers suck the crap outta bees that came to suck their nectar, angels have catfights amongst themselves, tearing each others’s wings. He didn know that far, far away, a mute donkey brayeth.

But then, the devil wasn’t born.he was made.eerie silence

There were, though, several instances, right from childhood, before full-fledged Evilhood, where Himesh flashed his evil side. One very important incident occurred while he was still in school- Hill Grange School, Pedder Road, Mumbai. A coupla seniors called him over to rag him. They asked him to recite the alphabets, reverse. He, scared as he was, complied. Then they asked him to sing… the ambulances rushed to take in the 2 youngsters who were still in a state of shock and fear.

But, the evil flashes, back then, were rare. Even when he joined showbiz, in the early 90s, he was still pretty ok. He started off as a producer on Zee TV. Then went on to do some on DD as well, producing and composing the title songs. One evening, in some celebratory party, the still-not-entirely-evil Himesh met Salman Khan, Bollywood’s answer to Pamela Anderson(.errm…ah, whatever!). Himesh knew wot he had to do. He tried to hypnotize Salman Khan through that old look-into-my-eyes trick. Salman Khan laughed thru it and commented, at the end of it, that his pet dog’s fleas could do it better and went towards the bar. That’s when Himesh sneaked up from behind and cooed into the ear, softly, “Uuuuuuuhhhhhhhnnnnn”. It did the trick. He turned Salman Khan around, the latter was in a deep trance.

“Thou shalt introduce me to Bollywood in ur next film, ” ordered Himesh.

“Yes, master, ” said Salman, robotically…

And so ‘Bandhan’ happened, where Himesh shared the music space with another evil guy called Anand Raj Anand Raj Anand Raj. oh, damn! The Krypt’s sorry- it stops with the second Anand. So, anyway, Salman Khan’s yes-master relationship with Himesh continued and he offered him more films. And with ‘Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya’ in ’98, Himesh finally got noticed. Point to note, Himesh at this point was still part-nice, save the rare evil outbursts. After PKTDK, he got more films and delivered more hits, the biggest of them bein ‘Tere Naam’. However, he was just another NadeemShravan-soundin, everyday music director. Nothing big.

And then, ‘Aashiq Banaya Aapne’ happened.

BANGKOK to BARODA, but the creativity worm is missing, that existed once copiously.after a somwhat slow start,HIMESH's career went on an up-swing with KAHIN PYAAR NA HO JAAYE. then he got some catchy chart-busters to his credit from HUMRAAZ and KYA DIL NE KAHAA. and an year later, the enormous success of TERE NAAM took him among the enviable slots among the composers.

But in 2005, came AASHIQ BANAYA AAPNE, that brought the singer out of HIMESH RESHMIYYA. and nothing was same ever again. the songs from this film became such huge hits that HIMESH became untolerably cocky. and thats where equations started changing. Next year, he released his albumAAP KA SUROOR , featuring himself in all the songs with same tunes almost, but that album outdid the success of AASHIQ BANAYA AAPNE. And there was no looking back for HIMESH now.

Ever since, HIMESH overlooked all the other singers whom he used till know for his compositions. Okay, changes are welcome, but if they cross the limits, the eccentricity of those things seem wierd then. Same happened with HIMESH. The once peculiar voice had become irritating now. Though the devotees had still kept the faith, HIMESH - the self-obsessed singer had killed HIMESH - the talented composer long ago.

To make the matters worse, his snobbish attitude on the TV show SA-RE-GA-MA-PA distracted one and all, and he soon became the most-shunned persona in the film industry.   But one thing is for sure. He can't be ignored. Love him, Hate him, but you can't ignore him. He is still raking in the moolahs, he is still very much in news for his never-changing attires and cap, and he is still topping the charts with NAMASTEY LONDON and SHAKA LAKA BOOM BOOM [ though the songs still sound the same as his off-late work.

Still, I am hoping against hope that someday, HIMESH dishes out the sheer melody as that of TERE NAAM, and regains his catchy quality all over again.cheersharsh

No news is good news these days… the Indian Cricket Team isn’t playing too well, and that affects the mood of the nation, the abject surrender to the Springboks still rankles.  More taxes are in the offing in the new budget and that means more stress and less sleep.  There have been accidents galore… some natural, some by the aid of deliberate human intervention, can’t say I really feel sorry for the victims given the quality of life a common man is forced to lead these days.  For all the love-struck fans of'Abhash', it’s downright heart breaking news… they are, indeed, getting married.  There are extortions, murders, scams, and the mother of all Indian sex crimes… the killing drains of Nithari.

Reading papers or watching the news gives no joy these days… hey, wait!  I just came across a piece of good news after an excruciatingly long period of time… Himesh Reshamiya has decided to stop singing.  Now, that must be a relief beyond one’s wildest imaginations.  The news seems almost too good to be true.  Ah, thank God for small mercies!  Just imagine, how many people would benefit from that?  The noise pollution levels are definitely going to come down and that too with the intervention of one man who really counts.  Three cheers to Himesh… he is a hero in my eyes, now.

Mia Resham(he likes to think he is Mia Tansen) has decided to spare us all from his ‘na(u)s(e)al’ crooning and I wish to spread this piece of really good news to all and sundry shouting from the top of Charminar. I feel like humming that catchy jingle again… “Happy days are here again…”

Not long ago, Himesh Reshamiya was an exciting and promising music director.  He had delivered some great compositions and I respected him for his talents.  A shy, young lad was out there in the industry among the wolves trying to establish his credentials.  He was doing alright, I thought, until he came up with this highly ill-advised gambit of singing his own compositions.  Sniff… that’s when I began to lose my sense of Indian music.

Here’s a man who leans so heavily on his nose to get the job done when in fact he should have been, like all others, using his throat.  The result - a whining, high decibel cacophony!  If there was a law against singing through the nose, then Himesh would be the “Most Wanted” in India for playing havoc with the ears and lives of innocent people.

The people who advised him to sing were not his true friends, or well wishers.  I mean, it beats me when I try to make sense of it all.  Why would any artist flaunt his weaknesses more than his only strength consistently for such a long period?  Why would he wish to become the laughing stock of the nation, and the inspiration for sing(ular) jokes?

Watching him croak and squawk away to oblivion in one music video after another and with a penchant for the same kind of jeans and cap, and with a wooden face and a disagreeable beard was beginning to take a toll on me.  Admittedly, his music was good and it was lapped by the younger generation who didn’t care two hoots for the way a song was sung as long as it was embellished with foot tapping music.  Alas, poor Himesh took that as an acceptance and an open invitation from the public to sing more, and sing he did.

Himesh is an excellent music composer and has a gift of coming up with raunchy numbers, but why would he want to use his ‘violin’ to strike at his own ‘nose’?  I don’t entirely place the blame on Himesh for the way things have turned out… after all he was only trying to offer what the Generation Next wanted.  The question is… what did GenNex want?

The answer is as diabolic as the question is naïve.  I think the average youth on the street(read as bathroom singer) began to believe that if Himesh could achieve so much of success as a below average singer then why can’t he also become a hot shot singer in Bollywood.  Many bathroom singers began to believe and identify with the bearded toupee clad Himesh.  They really believed that their time had come.

Imagine any below average crooner with a heavy nasal slant enjoy such huge patronage in the golden era of Mohd Rafi, Mukesh, Kishore Kumar, Manna Dey, Hemant Kumar, Mahendra Kapoor, and Talat Mehmood?  Each of those singers was adept at his art and always strived for perfection.  At least, try imagining someone like Sonu Nigam, Udit Narayan, Kunal Ganjawala, or even Abhijit replace the vocals rendered by Himesh and you will get the drift.  The songs would have been a runaway success and Himesh would have got greater credit for his music compositions than the kind of mauling he is getting from music maestros and the press for his slipshod singing.  Himesh's real talent in music composition is overshadowed by his insipid rendering of the songs which have earned him more notoriety than real fame.  Wanting to sing is one thing, but thrusting one’s singing, time and again, down the helpless ‘ears’ of others smacks of an insensitive “take it and bear it” attitude.

Himesh, after tasting initial success, decided to croon almost everything that came his way.  He was under the grand illusion that the public was in love with his voice, and image on the screen.  Now, can you beat that?  Sonu Nigam had a great future as a singer, but he also harboured an itch to act.  In spite of his ‘chocolate’ good looks, he soon found out that his aspiration of becoming a hero would actually make him a zero.  After that immensely forgettable film “Love in Nepal”, Sonu realised that he should concentrate on his strong points, which he did, and we all know where he is today.   Sonu has carved a niche for himself with his singing abilities but no body remembers his atrocious fling on the silver screen.

Think of Himesh Reshamiya and the image that conjures up in our mind is not music but his nose and not because it is a piece of art which, of course, it isn’t.  The first thoughts I get about him are the countless funny jokes deriding his nose… I mean his voice.  The participants in “The Great Indian Comedy Show” never had it so good and used every opportunity to regale us while having a go at Himesh.

I am afraid, things have changed.  Himesh is not the tragedy… the tragedy is that we have failed to appreciate good music and encouraged people with below average talents in singing to take courage from that and come out unabashedly flaunting their croaking throats and squeaky noses believing that they are entertaining and serving the people.   Yes, we don’t appreciate good music, anymore, and when third rate singing efforts, where flaws are camouflaged by expensive modern audio technology, are passed off as masterpieces then it’s time I looked up to God to grant me the courage to hold my peace against the merchants of dissonance and discordance.

Why everyone loves to hate Himesh Reshammiya?

This guy gave 20 odd hits in a year and everyone seemed to talk about him. The established contemporary singers criticized his nasal singing but their comments reeked of jealousy and utter contempt that their words spit made envy more obvious. If somebody asks you “Do you like Himesh?” and you say “Yes” just to find the other guy smiling or probably even laughing as if you have said the worst three letters of your life. Well, the guy who popped the question likes him too but is not willing to accept this. Why? Why, it has become fashionable to criticize this man with a cap who has taken the Indian film music scene by a storm; the man who kicked the reigning singers southward. People feel embarrassed to admit that they listen to Himesh Reshammiya but the truth remains that you cannot avoid this man – he rules the lounger bars, discos, pubs, auto rickswaws, taxis, paan stalls, music shops and malls. You listen to him at home too. Then, why do you feel compelled to say that don’t like him?

The same phenomenon happened when Altaf Raja became a rage in mid 1990s. Every truck driver, every local vendor, every shop played it. In the movie KKHH, they made fun of this song and suddenly, people who liked “tum to thehre pardesi” went into hiding to never come out. It was fashionable at that time to laugh at anyone who liked Altaf Raja. Unfortunately, a great career for Altaf came to screeching halt. This wouldn’t happen to Himesh, fortunately, very fortunately!

Let us see what makes Himesh Reshammiya click. His brand of music is contemporary. He has learnt music and he sings well. His tunes are catchy (and more often than not original). He is sincere – completes his work on time for producers. Gives producers and directors a wide range of tunes to choose from (he has 1000 odd tunes in stock at all times), he improvises (listen to the track “Viraaniya” from Namaste London. He has used the word *Jaana *from the lyrics to blend it with the tune. Amazing.)!

Recently, Pritam has been called a great music director. Pritam has successfully been able to fool the great Indian audience by stealing songs from all languages other than English. Recent ones – “Kya mujhe pyaar hai” (copied to the T from a Spanish song), “Yaa Ali” (copied with all the beats and musical elements from an Arabic song) – from Pritam have been raved about. What pity, we (the people) don’t want to stand apart and follow the crowd as long as possible. Talking what everyone else is gives one a feeling of safety that a child has inside mother’s womb.

Sony Nigam thinks Himesh is an awful singer. A brief bio of Sonu here – he started singing the remixed (with jhankar beats) songs of Md. Rafi. It took him a long time to establish himself as a good singer. He sang bhajans (again with jhankar beat). [For the uninitiated, jhankar beats is the form of remix where you play the exact tunes of an old song but replace and add shrill instruments to the arrangement. It makes it good to hear on a low-end audio system (especially the ones in trucks, auto, taxis, paanwala’s shop to name a few). It is not a thing that people who can afford to read this article on internet would know. It is a poor man’s remix]

Sonu has struggled hard – he deserves his success but then how could he even criticize Himesh. Is it lack of humility, success –gone-to-head, or something else? They say humility is like torn pants which hide but nothing. Oh! Sonu believes in shouting from his rooftop that he is a great singer.

I have noted the following things about this great'musician'.

1) He has popularized vowels.e.g. au huzoorrrr, tera tera tera suroooorrrr oooo. See what I'm talking about?

2) His lyricist won't have to  do a lot of computer work.when he's writing the lyrics on his computer, he can just write'uuuuu' or'owwwww' and then Ctrl+c and Ctrl+V it wherever fillers are required.

3) Except for the a, e, i, o, u keys on his computer, the rest of the keys must be a little dusty.

4) He's coming in a movie?'Aap ka suroor - the movi'ee'.that's how its spelt.

.For some reason, lots of his songs sound all similar to me.there's a dhinchak dhinchak loop playing in the background.to which some other occasional sounds are added coupled with some'howling' sounds.after watching'Werewolf' on TV, if somebody locked you up in a dark room and suddenly played ANY of his songs on a powerful music system.which would undoubtedly start with a trademark howl.AUUUUUU, then you'll probably jump out of your skin coz you've still not recovered fully from werewolf.Sometimes when the puppy next door howls in the middle of the night, half-asleep, I pick up my remote and try to switch off the(already switched off) music system.

His music is still okay.not good.but reasonable, but he doesn't really HAVE to sing in each of his songs and make a splendid display of his vocal chords.er.nasal chords, I mean.

Himmeshbhai.please don't sing. Mr.Nigam, Mr. Sanu, Mr. Narayan and co. are going to get complexes.

Then, he HAS to appear in the video.WHY? Oh.I forgot.common sense.koi bhi video main, eye-candy toh chahiye hi naa.yes yes.

Disappointing. Genuinely.

Himesh.a singer who don't know the Sur and Taal. Just differnt voice and he became star singer. I think everybody know Altaf Raja, who became popular just because his different voice but he is no mare popular.  Himesh also like this, I am sure that he will be popular  for few days only. actually he should leave singing otherwise people will leave listening his songs. he can not be a ever-green singer like mukesh, rafi, lata ji, kishore da, abhijeet sahab and sonu nigam.I don't know, aakhir iski cap ke neeche kya hai...

He doesn't has variety in his songs. everytime he uses same SUR and it is obvious that people can't listen hin for long time. his singing style style and his voice are also very boring.overall he is not a good singer and people will throw him out very soon. haaaaa...... hoojoo. Bhad me gaya himesh ka...... suroooooooorr...........ye lagta hai... langorrrrrrrrrrrrrr.............Actually he should change his profession because singing is not the bed of roses.

Cheers
