Sonu Nigam Tickets

The artists have soulful voices. They care about their craft. Their humility, despite their deserved fame, is obvious as displayed by their desire to impress their fans and gratitude to God for bestowing opportunities upon them. My mother & I have enjoyed Sonu Nigam concerts. My mother was familiar with Atif Aslam's music but I had not heard of him at all. Based on my mother's description, I was expecting a concert with romantic songs. I found Mr. Aslam's songs to be filled with longing. But, since I was unfamiliar with his songs, I had great difficulty deciphering the lyrics since the accompanying music drowned out most of his voice. It wasn't until he sang the Mehdi Hassan ghazal that I could appreciate the true quality of his voice. My mother & I were hopeful when we noticed that the musical arrangement was being changed prior to Mr. Nigam's portion of the performance. The rendition of the first few of his songs did not disappoint. He could be heard clearly despite the accompanying music. My mother & I were, however, horrified that Mr. Nigam decided that classics from Kishore Kumar & Mohammad Rafi needed to be modernized. While I was glad to see these classics introduced to new generations, I found the arrangement of the songs to be disrespectful to the musical directors who were geniuses in their own right. Much like the sun, the brilliance of these artists of old needs no amplification with electronic manipulation to appreciate their greatness. Not wanting to listen to another minute of heart pounding, headache inducing noise, I wanted to leave, but my mother convinced me to stay. I am glad she did. The best part of the show was when Mr. Nigam & Mr. Aslam sat on stools and sang songs to minimal musical accompaniment. We marveled at how exquisite their voices are!!! That is what we wanted to celebrate that night. They evoked wonderful memories such as my first dance with my husband at our wedding reception to 'Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Me..' some 21 years ago. As your careers flourish & your repertoires increase, instead of singing a compilation of different songs, please choose a select few songs to sing in their entirety. This way you will do justice to each song and set a mood instead of running through song tidbits. Please start your concerts on time so that you do not have to disrespect your fans who had to leave early so that they could get their kids ready for school on Monday before heading off to work themselves. REMEMBER, regular people do not have the luxury of your lifestyle. Please don't be disheartened by this review Mr. Nigam & Mr. Aslam. While my mother & I will pause, ever so slightly, before we purchase tickets to your concerts in the future, we remain curious about the evolution of your artistry. We wish for you eternal, fulfilling partnerships with your respective wives, children who you raise to be happy adults, and continued success in your careers.

Great great show!! I wud go again and again!!!!!!!

The event was great and Sonu did a great job of engaging the audience. It was mostly peppy songs and melodies took a back seat. The good thing was he sang few 'unplugged' numbers although it was short-lived. I would have preferred more melodies but it is my personal opinion A word of caution: I didn't enjoy the event to the maximum because I don't know many Hindi songs. So I wouldn't call this event to be worth the penny if you do not follow Bollywood numbers. There were times when I couldn't relate to songs at all but it's just me Final verdict: If you regularly follow Hindi music (black & whites, 80s&90s and the last decade) and you prefer crowd entertainers then this event is just for you!

Loved watching Sonu Nigam live. He is a complete entertainer. And a great Orchestra. The only thing I would like to see next time is for him to sing more of his own songs. It is never the same to hear a song in someone else's voice. He has an amazing collection of his own songs. Need more of that. Also the second half after the break was smaller than expected and appeared very abrupt.

It was a great show put out by the super entertainer but I would have enjoyed it even more if Sonu had sung his own songs rather than other artists'. Klose to My Soul concert that happened in LA on May 31 seemed more for older generation as most of the songs sung by Sonu were from older era. All those songs were great but I went to hear Sonu's own songs which didn't happen and so was a disappointment.

Good program. Well organized. Enjoyed the songs. The accompanying orchestra was good. Sonu Nigam was entertaining.

Fun! Sonu Nigam has an funny and lovable presence. My first time watching him in real. Played my favorite songs - too many other performers and speeches.

Klose to My Soul was AWESOME! Sonu Nigam is a fabulous singer. It was worth it!

Sonu Nigam is a great artist. But he did not sing his own songs that made him a star. He sang extreemely old songs. The concert was boring...

Concert was great! Sound was clear and the orchestra was magnificent! There were 3 huge screens to give everyone sitting anywhere a great view! Negatives: It started about an hour late He talked mainly in Hindi, which was a bummer if your spouse is American or non-Hindi speaking :(

The songs were old and was originally sung by other singers. Sonu ji did not sing any newer song and in his previous shows he used to play with songs and mix it amazingly. This show was tired and lacked anything worth remembering. I remember attending his show in melbourne , Australia in 2012. He was amazing and that made me come again. But after this show I will think a second time henceforth

Sonu Nigam has a magical voice and I enjoyed every minute of it. Live orchestra was excellent and Sonu is a great entertainer. His song selection was a surprise as he picked lot of songs from other artists (from 70's and 80's), but still enjoyable. The only only negative was he didn't show up until 40 mins after the show started (which started 30 mins late to begin with), so it got frustrating for people who got there on time for the show. Overall, a great musical evening to cherish....

I thought he should have sung more of his songs than other singer's songs. not that what he sung was not good but I wanted Sonu Nigam to sing his songs. I was waiting for songs like Saathiya, Suraj hua maddham ( was sung without music), Soniyo, tumse milka dil ka hai jo haal, ishq bina and more of his hits.

I took my mom and my aunt as it was my mom's 75th birthday and my aunt gave her ticket as a present and they both really wanted to go. I have never seen them look so happy. Like they were taken back some 40 years with the songs he was singing. Both of them are widowed as my dad and my uncle passed on a while back and it so much fun to see them so happy. I thought I would be bored but truly enjoyed the show. Sonu's voice is one of a kind and his symphony wowed the crowd. I also loved the dancers... I would definitely go again!

Sonu Nigam is a great entertainer and a great singer. It was not just a concert but an overall entertainment show. In addition to the variety of song selections from various singers and music composers old and new, Sonu Nigam presented things like "how songs are made", "how people from different regions of India interact", etc. which made it a very engaging show.

Not a great show if you do not understand Hindi. However, music part was entertaining and oh man he had the energy and it was worth the time, money and effort.

A most enjoyable performance. Loved every minute of it. I did miss the fact that he did not sing at least one Bhajan. I listen to his Bhajan CD's nearly every day, so it was a disappointment that while the concert is labeled " Klose to the Soul" --- it does not even have one number acknowledging the Almighty.

What a remarkable show experience. Sonu Nigam truly is a an entertainer. There are lots of artists very good at doing what they are famous for (singing, dancing, acting, comedy, etc), but very few actually qualify to be an "entertainer". He kept the audience alive and involved most of the show. I spent $112 per seat as I bought the ticket late in the game, but felt very satisfied in return for the entertainment value.

One of the best shows I have seen in a long time. His voice is unforgetable and choice of songs was fantastic. I cannot say enough about him except that he is a truly an artist and entertainer in every sense of the word. His father's presence and voice lended depth to the entire performance as well.

Sonu Nigam is an awesome performer and entertainer. We were never bored during the show because he kept the audience engaged. The audio was clear and not too loud. We had kids with us and they were engaged for most of the show. I would recommend this to any Sonu Nigam fan who have yet to attend his concerts. He sings a lot of oldies and also some of his own. The live orchestra was great.
