Sonu performed here on Sunday.He had played in Johannesburg the previous night at Emperors Palace and the night before at The Good Hope Centre in Cape Town.This was his sixth trip to South Africa.
Whilst following his career path over the past fifteen years now, Nigam has undoubtedly perfected
the art of re-inventing himself. He appeared on South African stages two years ago and will most likely be visiting the country again after a two to three year period.
Whether it is wearing funky clothing,changing his hairstyle or eye colour through contact lenses; forays into acting as a Bollywood hero,or trying to break into the American English music market, Sonu always manages to stay one step ahead of any competition, and the latest shows were no exception.
Having perfected the art of playing to capacity crowds across the globe through innovative use of sound and visual techniques rather than formal repetition of the many hit sings he has done for Bollywood films, Sonu did a range of variations on those hit sings. He enthralled the audience with his sweet God gifted melodious voice and belted out a few songs in the classical music genre proving to the world once again that he is ultimately the king of the Indian music industry.
With his unique stage personality, there is absolutely no doubt that he is probably the best singing entertainer out of India today. Besides his flawless singing ability, Sonu also happens to be one of the most humble and down to earth personality's within the music industry. Having brushed shoulders with the star himself on several occasions I was quite taken aback by his kindness, sweet, soft nature and of course the high level of respect he had displayed to those around him in terms of fans and well wishers. He has always been my idol, role model and inspiration ever since I was a teenager and meeting him was certainly a dream come true not only for me but for my family as well!!!!
