The Next Best singer, Clones Of Rafi Saheb......! Options

[past21]

Room,
As u all know, Sonu started his Carrier as Copycating Rafi Saheb, like many other Singers(Mahendra Kapoor, Mohd Aziz,Anwar) to name a few........
But according to me if v exclude Kapoor Saheb(as he is the Only "Shagird" of Rafi Saheb, only Sonu fulfill the Requirement to be a Full Fledge Singer and a person 2(Rafi Saheb was a Gem of a singer and Person) leaving every1 far behind(V can only THINK of Anwar, but he is lagging far behind- thanks to his passion for WineS!
)
So can v rate sonu as Rafi Saheb's Best Clone or Will there b new ones?
Hope to hear a lot from u all
More to come.............

well, some points about sonu nigam ...

+(ve) points
1. very good in singing many rafi songs
2. very good in singing many semi classical songs
3. the range is quite good

-(ve) points
1. almost sucks when it comes to singing in high pitch, it seems he hardly
does the job and the melody & rhythm of the song get changed
2. very light voice, totally zero base.
3. whether it is romantic or sad, he uses his tipical style. i am not able to
describe that particular way singing, but that's his identity to me ...

only few singers i have found, whos voices remain absolutely masculine, 100% base no matter
whether they r singing in low pitch or in high pitch. kishore kumar(from old days), udit nayaran, abhijeet,
and yesudas ( among 2days ) r a few to name ... but it matters how versatile u r. 2days, udit has a different voice
and has 6 yrs of hindustani classical training but i doubt how good he is in singing even semi classical
songs ... and also sucks in singing songs where we find lots of ups & downs( i said that already),
simple and plain songs suit his voice better ... but i prefer his voice over sonu.

Aaj tak koi exact copy mili??? every one had some quality of Rafi's voice.but no one was complete.

oye sonu, exact copy agar mil jaaye to exact aur copy mein farq kya rah jaayegaa ? kuchh to
differences, dissimilarities hogaa naa ? after all, they r two different persons ...
