Bingo Vithur .... I got the feeling I was listening to ColdPlay when I was listening to Meherbaan. Kwaja mere Kawaja is a rare beauty of a song sung so soulfully by ARR. He as followed it up on a quick succession with this beautiful piece " Meherbaan". These 2 songs will remain evergreen in one's memory. Would love to hear many more such melodious pieces. While on singers. Its easy to find replacements for shaan n sonu nigam....but its tuff to find a replacement for ARR's voice.

Not even inspired.). This is one song that gives me goose bumps everytime i listen to. Piano riffs, soft beats, Guitar and the voice of boss to top all that - what more can you ask for? I like the way he goes "Meharbaaan" and the humming that follows it is heavenly. I sometimes get the feel that no one else can sing certain songs like the way Rahman sings. I cant imagine a SPB or a Hariharan or a Sonu Nigam singing "Khwaja mere khwaja" as graceful as the way Rahman did. And the happy news these days is that we get to listen to atleast one song in his voice in every album of his these days. One thing that amazes me the most is that though he is not a naturally gifted singer like a Sonu Nigam or a Shaan, he is able to pull out songs of all genres effortlessly and soulfully like no one else can. Look at the range of songs that he has sung, from Humma humma to maa tujhe salam to lukka chupi to Khwaja mere khwaja to New york nagaram to vellai pookal to Pray for me brother to Tu bole. Theres nothing that he hasnt sung yet, probably except a punjabi stuff. And all the songs that hes sung are the kind of songs that you would call as awe-inspiring stuff. People may call Shankar mahadevan as the best Singer- Composer, but if there is one Composer-Singer, its only Boss. http://benlyboy. blogspot. com/2008/ 06/meherban- and-r-rahman. html regards, Vithur HELP EVER; HURT NEVER; LOVE ALL; SERVE ALL
