SONU NIGAM - Abhi Mujh Mein Kahin Unplugged | Singer Songwriter REACTION 

I sure wish I understood this better. It has such a deeply emotional feel. I look forward to learning more about this piece.

If you want vocal flexibility, India is the go-to place for it. This is a fusion piece, Caleb. It has strong Western influences in addition to the core Indian perspective on music. They're constraining themselves - mostly - by adding a piano (superbly played) with its traditional Western scale and more or less sticking to that scale. But the added musical colors weren't Western at all, and the singer definitely isn't Western in his approach to music. I didn't sense that the song, thematically, was going anywhere in particular; it was more a soundscape than anything else. Quite pleasant. It checks my boxes. I like virtuosity in music, and it's here. I like innovation; a fusion of Western and Indian motifs is going to produce innovation. Cultural fusion isn't the first thing that pops into my head when I think of MTV. It seems they've discovered that there are terrific artists not residing in Hollywood or London. How about that.

Indian songs are Poetic......literal translation in English cant give you actual satisfaction..... lyrics are evn mo beautiful......😊

Sonu nigam.is not just a singer..he is near to god for all those who are aspiring singer's and wants to.sing in Perfect pitch..sonu nigam.is an industry himself

Beautiful voice and singing... go Sonu Nigam .. greetings from Malaysia 🇲🇾

A beautiful performance demonstrating the wonderful universality of music. 🌹

Your reaction seems genuine, unlike some other's.

He's paying tribute to the Late Ajay Jhingran, the lyricist of this song. He had passed away shortly before this performance, at the age of 42.

I am so glad that reactions to this amazing performance are starting to catch fire all over RU-vid.

I listened this song 100 times and i can listen it 1000 times more and never get bored.That is the power of this song.

I even cry

I see several foreigners talking about nasality. That is not on purpose. Hindi has nasal phonemes that is just how you pronounce those words. It is not ornamentation or particular style of singing.

Sonu nigam is an awesome songer His every note express beautiful Emotions...

He is one of the best play back singer in the world.. Singers should be learned this legend...classical,pops vocals is so smooth.. He also sing 56 type of voice in one song... The great sonu nigam

Sonu Nigam is a legend. You can also look for Arijit Singh who is current sensation and Shreya Ghoshal who is absolutely angelic. You can watch Arijit Singh's Gima awards performance of 2017 and Shreya Ghoshal's Berklee college of music performance.

The main difference between Indian classical and Western classical music is the idea of "notes". Indian classical music is based on the relationships BETWEEN notes rather than the actual notes themselves, whereas Western music tries to force certain frequencies as the "standard" and flattens out the idea of microtonal music before it can even be incorporated into a piece. That's why pop music sounds so overly bright and rigid, and why songs have been progressively getting shorter and shorter over time - you can only do so much within the conceptual framework used by Western music. But Indian classical music has been changing, adapting, and creating new works for hundreds, if not thousands, of years - and continues to do so in ways that surprise even today's maestros.

Disclaimer: You have now entered indian youtube territory, you are going to be overwhelmed by reaction requests on each and every platform of yours. Don't stress over it, just keep doing what makes you happy.✌️ :)

Beautiful Indian music, thank you 🙏

Sonu Nigam is an institution himself ❤️ , He is the God of music 🎵❤️ and Lord of chords ❤️

He is the rarest of the talents India has ever got, lucky to have Sonu

Check out "Sun raha hai rozana" by Shreya Ghoshal, she is indian goddess of vocal dynamic. You'll definitely get impressed by her voice...

Welcome to the World of Indian Classical Music.

He is legend of music, best vocalist ever

He is the real singer of this song and giving tribute to this "song writer" who just passed away. And bileave me is the best vocalist of this century who can sing anything.

Why the expressions and smile of this guy reminds me of Sanam? :-)

Indian classical music is unparalleled.....it takes 10-12yrs of training..... India is vry diverse in music as well...... Indian classical music needs 3 octaves which is considered as actual human voice..... whistle register and falsettos are not considered as vocal range coz u dont have full control on them.... react to Lata Mangeshkar Kaushiki Chakraborty Shreya Ghoshal Arijit Singh Salman Ali......😊

Sonu Nigam is Lord of Chords....He is LEGEND.....He is unmatchable 👍👍👍

Sonu nigam is called lord of the chords cos he can pick notes and manipulate them while singing.

Your reaction quite alot better than Justin burke especially when pause the music and talk (he talk too much while reaction), after that resuming your reaction.

It hit different when you understand the lyrics

most beautiful voices are sonu nigams and shreya ghoshals

Please react to another Indian singer shreya ghoshal berklee performance on aap ki nazron ne samjha..

The legendary Sonu Nigam 🔥

Shreya Ghoshal is an amazing female vocalist here in India...you should react to some of her stuff as well... U won't regret😁😁 You should react to her live performance at Berklee Institute... It's amazing 😍

Indian songs bring agility in your voice ! That's why I can mostly do any western song runs and riffs within my range quite comfortably.

Lyrics: Still, somewhere inside me, Still, somewhere inside me, there is a little life remaining.. A new heartbeat came up, I got to know that I am still alive.. Some such tenacity is there in this moment, where was this moment of mine.. now it's in front of me, should I die or should I live a little.. should I kiss joys, or should I cry a little, should I die or live for a while.. Still somewhere inside me, there is a little life remaining.. (as if) the body burning down in the sun got the shade of a tree, like the smile of an angry kid came back on a little cajoling.. something like that is what my heart is feeling now, on the years old wounds, there is some balm applied some such mercy is there in this moment, where was this moment of mine.. now it's in front of me, should I die or should I live a little.. should I kiss joys, or should I cry a little, should I die or live for a while.. like a kite with broken string was this life of mine, today I'm there, whether tomorrow takes place (for me) or not (is not known), was my story everyday.. (he was unsure of how long he'd live) now a new bond calls me from behind, why does a worry for tomorrow trouble me, such a prickle is there in this moment, where was this moment of mine.. now it's in front of me, should I die or should I live a little.. should I kiss joys, or should I cry a little, should I die or live for a while..

Sonu nigam is living legend ❤️ React his rock qawali performance in iifa 2011

Caleb I've been watching your channel for a while. I usually watch all the Dimash reactions but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that you reacted to Sonu Nigam. I'm Indian and I can tell you that almost every person here knows about him and please do watch more of him and I can gurantee you won't be disappointed. Please also react to another amazing Indian singer who has been ruling everyone's hearts here! Her name is Shreya Ghoshal! Once again, thank you for the wonderful reaction! ❤

I loved the piano in this piece.

React to sonu nigam rock qawali iifa performance

Finally u found the gem 😍

Hi - im new to the channel , Im a big fan of Sonu Nigam and I would very much like to learn about him and his songs , I would really recommend reacting to his own written song " Kal Ho Naa Ho " - he wrote this song after the demise to his mother. Kal ho na hoo is such a meaningful song ,you will be able to feel the pain in his voice.

U just reacted to a legend. Check his song that he had tributed to M.Jackson Sir.

Have been watching you caleb since your dimash reactions , it feels great to watch you react to an Indian singer, am not a singer myself but feels to great to watch you analyse these musicians and also your own music,much love from india

Goddd listen to his performance with Jermaine Jackson! It's phenomenal the song and their voices! ❤️ And do listen to Shreya Ghoshal and Arijit Singh Great singers ❤️❤️👌🏻

He is our beloved ❤️Legend❤️😊 always in every Indian's heart, love from India

Now if you think it was beautiful knowing the lyrics will make it even more beautiful Every time I listen to this it brings so much of my emotions out It is one of those songs which you will not be bored of hearing

You are the only person reacting to a song without talking while singer is singing. Appreciate that being a singer myself.

Great reaction. Hopefully, you react to more Indian singers. My recommendation: Berklee Sun Raha Hai Rozana by Shreya Ghoshal.

He is called beast of Live Singing in India. He is the most talented and soulful vocalist. We are proud of him .

Thanks for your reaction. His voice is like warm melted caramel to my ears.

i can, feel his emotion from his music

I love to watch you collect every details, I am sure you feel the rhythm. Love from India🇮🇳❤

He tribute the the song writer of this song...Which passed away in age of 42...And Sonu Nigam ji is greatest in music line....He has sung 28 language..Sonu Sir Is GOAT❤️

Tears comes in my eyes whenever I hear this song

The first song chalki chalki chandni,is from the sonus self composed album,classical mild.

this songs give me goosebumps. I love Sonu Nigam and Song.

One of the best reaction... You were actually listening to it and feeling it unlike others who just react in order to attract Indian audience... Best wishes brother...❣️

Sonu is love😘 legend for reason 😍😍😍

The trills in Hindustani music come from the throat/neck not the mouth.

You should look for "Sukvinder Singh" the pitch in his voice is higher than Mount Everest, he is just more than amazing.

arijit singh - laal ishq, aayat

Sonu Nigam is a singer with phenomenal singing abilities.

He has given this sing as a tribute to the song writer who is no more in this world .

Love to hear dat singer👍

Those subtle shifts are a part of Indian music though... Beautiful

Sonu nigam sir is a Inspiration for all indian classical sing

He is paying tribute to one of the finest lyricists in India, Ajay Jhingran. I belong to Ajay’s hometown Saharanpur.

Caleb seus fãs do Brasil 💞💞💞💞💞💞

He is all time....luv u sir

He gave tribute to the lyrics writer of this very song.

Good discription of Sonu's voice Caleb..

Finally you found a gem.....!! Sonu nigam is God of Music.

Sonu nigam is our musical father... My idol... My teacher... Love u sir...

This gentleman looks like Chris Hemsworth from some angles 😁 Btw react to Arijit Singh- LAAL ISHQ ❤

He is a Legendary Singer 💖💖

your facial expressions showed how much you were enjoying the song....... :)

It just hits you...❤❤

Well, he is brilliant. U know he's got immense control and so people call him "Lord Of Chords". So since u asked for some recommendations I have one, A live performance by Sonu nigam at IIFA Rocks 2011,'RockQawali'. Its a brilliant Qawwali song infused with Rock music!

There are thousands of reactors on you tube but yours is perhaps one of the best reaction i have seen from a non-indian for an indian music/song. Technically very correct. By the you also have an awesome voice and talent...keep it up. Incase you want to enrich your singing more then spent few years in India and take training under any indian classical musician..you have great potential. Let me know if you want me to guide you on how to obtain such training.

This performance was tribute to the lyricist of this song who died at the of 42.This song is from a bollywood movie Agnipath originally sung by himself sonu nigam

Very emotional song. I love this song ❤❤.

For this song sonu nigam sir got best singer of the decade 2 times he is more than a singer my inspiration forever😌😇🙏❤

Nice analysis. The lyric is equally compelling with a subtle romance and sadness

Sonu is our pride. He is also a Legend.

he dedicated the song to the lyrics writer of this song who passed away 1month earlier this performance

What a great song!

Hez a legend , even auto-tune needs him bro ... plss react to his others songs also and react to arjt singh soul ful voice also .. ul love it gauranted❤

You guys will be surprise that this guy is known as the Prince of melody from India😊😊

it is so beautiful

My favourite singer....

This is my 15th listening you react to this song, your comments are splendid

He is the living legend of Bollywood

You should react to more like this like "Chaap tilak" this is a Pakistani song but India and Pakistani songs are the same we share same type of music. This song is beautiful. It's a classical song.

A LEGEND LOVE FROM INDONESIA 🇮🇩

You should go through more indian classical music stuff and the way they sing and also observe how the Indian classical music teaches the singer to play with different notes n overtones. A trained Indian singer can sync his voice with any musical instruments in terms of notes with that same tempo or speed n can changes notes as well that's why some western musical experts called Indian singers a Vocal Gymnastics..

Lots of love from India

Very genuine reaction...
