and I dnt expect him to win any Indian award simply bcz he is a Pakistani...

I don't think the Pakistani factor is at play, BW awards are highly biased and some actors/directors/singers/music directors have always an advantage over others.

i am a pakistani and i belive no one is better den Sonu Nigam :) but rahat deserve it the only overrated singer is Atif Aslam

He made Rabba Main Toh Mar Gaya from Mausam a 100 times better than how the original one was sung. They should've kept his version in the movie.

I am not a good judge of music. Rahat, Atif both sound the same to me. So I find Rahat as overrated as Atif. Only Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan had some uniqueness about him. I personally prefer Indian singers especially Sonu over Rahat and Atif. They are a lot more versatile.

i cant beleive you just compared rahat fateh ali khan to atif aslam😳

Oh god no way is he overrated. Damn I remember sitting through Bodyguard (oh lord, there's a couple of wasted hours I'll never get back) and just rolling along with Teri Meri---a perfectly nice, pleasant song---and then I don't know if it was the theatre sound system or what the F but suddenly this Voice came ringing through the movie house and it was like WOW!!!! Holy crap, it was just the purest, most powerful sound

no atif or rahat jee is not overrated. I like both...

Good question.

^^^ Agreed!! sometimes versatility is given too much importance! If an individual is good at something then they should continue doing that! I've not heard Sonu Nigam singing a sufi-kind of song

listen Tera Deedar hua frm Jannat 2 , Rahat's version and Javed ali's version ... Javed Ali did much better job than Rahat ...
