I refuse to take up singing contracts if they have ridiculous lyrics: Sonu Nigam

Singer Sonu Nigam says that he refuses offers from movie makers if they ask him to sing songs with lyrics that are below standard or containing offensive words. 'Even AR Rahman was asked to compose a very ridiculous song for the film Robot and he took up the offer. I had suggested that he, being an Oscar awardee, should not be doing such songs', he says.

I was not born in era of Md.Rafi Koshor da, Mannade sahab.... But when I born... after that a singer came into bollywood . THE SONU NIGAM... I can say that I was born in the era of Sonu Nigam. Sonu is my alltime fav singer.

[@aapkifarmaishbydineshmirch9143]

He sounds like such a humble person, well grounded. His versatility as a singer and a musician is simply amazing. God gifted, and if there's anyone I like most after Mohd. Rafi Saab, its Sonu. Paka Sur with melody that hits the heart, not some very crazy high decibal notes just to prove a point.

[@tanimasharma7335]

@@pk-dx6sf with no rude intentions, I must politely tell you to never comment about great people without knowing the truth. To begin with lemme tell you I am also an Arijit fan. Arijit is great, no one is denying that, but just because you are Arijit fan doesn't give you the right to demean sonu ji who is undoubtedly one of the greatest singers India has seen. Respect music. Respect both Arijit and sonu ji. Sonu ji has been singing on stage for the last 44 years ( since he was 3), his voice is still beautiful as ever. He never ever sings out of tune during any live performance. And obviously he has given super hits from 1997-2015, and still sings amazing songs whenever he gets a chance. All this is possible only because of the Riyaaz that he does for hours. So please I request you to not say such things about a legendary singer.

[@amitabhmaheshwari]

Sonu Nigam is undoubtedly great and really humble too. However I didn’t find that comment on specialised ghazal or classical singers as safe players in good taste. The singers like Jagjit Singh, Talat Mahmood and Mehdi Hassan were giants of music and they really went very deep in the kind of music they indulged in. You see, Ustad Bismillah Khan played just one instrument- Shehnai but how many Bollywood singers can match the status of this Bharat Ratna musician ? I believe that one artist should never run another artist down.
