Didn't use pitch corrector for Tendulkar: Sonu Nigam
Mumbai,
April 2
Singer Sonu Nigam, who has collaborated with Sachin Tendulkar
for the iconic cricketer's debut track "Cricket waali beat", says
he is a very good singer.
The song will have its world TV premiere on the grand finale
of singing TV reality show "Indian Idol 9" on Sunday night on Sony
Entertainment Television.
Talking about it, Sonu said here: "I am glad to be part
of Sachin's new innings. The song that he has sung with me is called 'Cricket
waali beat'. I was very surprised to see the way he was pitching right. That's
why I believe that when God blesses someone with genius, it spills in other
faculties too."
Sonu can now vouch for Tendulkar's singing skill.
"He is a very good singer. We did not use pitch corrector
on his voice as he was singing in the right sur (tone) and (despite being) the
shy person that he is, he got extremely comfortable the moment I kind of increased
the masti (fun) quotient while we were shooting the video. It was wonderful
and I am very happy that people are loving the song," the singer said.
Sonu judges "Indian Idol 9" with composer Annu Malik
and choreographer-director Farah Khan. The finale will see three contestants
-- LV Revanth, Khuda Baksh and PVNS Rohit -- competing with one another on a
stage, which will also see a comedic act by Sunil Grover as Dr. Mashoor Gulati
and Rinku Bhabhi.
About having Sachin on the show's stage where he will also
announce the winner's name, Sonu said: "'Indian Idol' is my family, my
house, my domain and Sachin coming in and releasing the song for its world TV
premiere, is a matter of pride for all of us."
"Sachin Tendulkar is a phenomenon not just for India,
but for the world, especially for the world of cricket. When he is given the
title of god, it's not just by chance. His whole demeanour, whole career, entire
reputation and the spotless career that he has had, is the reason why he is
called the God of cricket," Sonu added.
The Arjuna Award winner had earlier released his autobiography
named "Playing It My Way", and recently he launched his digital app
100MB.
