6 Kishore Kumar

Kishore Kumar was an Indian film playback singer, actor, lyricist, composer, producer, director, and screenwriter. He is considered one of the most successful playback singers of the Hindi film industry.

I think there is something mysterious in his voice that increase his voice quality and prefer him as the talented Indian male-singer ever

Upon reflecting on the movie industry between the 70's until the 80's it will come to light that many heroes benefited in terms of attaining popularity with their cinematic fans attributed to the playback voice of Kishore Kumar. This sentiment is seldom acknowledged by these actors. He was a star worthy of infinite praise. In my opinion he ought to feature as number one on your list.

He was the god among them

Kishore had the richest voice

He is best is Asia. He has like 60 or 70 awards. He has also charged Rs.7 million for a song in an upcoming film titled Mastaan starring Naseeruddin Shah. It is the biggest amount paid to a song artist in Bollywood to date, making Honey Singh the highest-paid musical artist in Bollywood.

HE IS VERY GOOD SINGER. HE SING THE VANDE MATARAM OF LATA, MERE DESH KI DHARTI, GURUDEV DAYA KARKE, AYE MERE WATAN KE LOGO AND MANY MORE IN THE REPUBLIC DAY OF GURUKUL SCHOOL. I GO THERE AND HEAR HIS SONG. HIS VOICE IS VERY MELODIOUS

25 Kunnath Krishnakumar

Why isn't K.K. on the top? Listen to any K.K. song, and you will be mesmerized and feel intoxicated with the melody of his music and voice. Gosh he is so much better than singers like Atif Aslam, Kumar Sanu, and Shaan. He should at least on the top 5 along with the likes of Sonu Nigam and Udit.

K. K is worlds best singer... Great great great great voice & very down to earth personality, real artist who loves only and only music.. No show off...

No other Singer as Best as K. K in the Bollywood...

26 Mukesh

Please put the name of this greatest singer in top position. Only people who have not heard his songs or do not have any knowledge regarding rating a singer can do such injustice to all time great singer like our beloved Mukesh saab. Please do not vote without knowledge. This is my humble request all those who vote
.

With that dulcet voice which gives you goosebumps every time you listen to it, with that soulful peculiarity that no other singer can match and with that humble manner which makes us awestruck, Mukesh deserves a spot in top 5. Annoyed and astounded at the way the singers have been ranked. Popularity cannot be used as the sole basis for judging a person and his skills. What else do you want to get a spot in Top 5- I mean, he has 4 Filmfare Awards and 1 National Award. Surprised and shocked.

His voice is just amazing. And what's more is his style. He sang every song with full effort. He entertained us for more than 3 decades. Wonder, why he isn't included in the top three.

Of course he is a muslim

27 SP Balasubramaniam

SPB is the greatest ever singer in India.
Unfortunately he was recognized as a south Indian singer inspite of his best efforts he had done.
The biggest fun is here whenever anyone asks him who is the best singer?
He answers there are many great singer than me in the past and present.
He is an uncomparable singer.

The greatness of SPB, as I have seen, is in giving life to compositions of even lesser known composers. -music director
I think India may or may not produce such a genius singer in upcoming century.
He is the singer of the century. - Koti.
I don't whether the two greats KJY or SPB are comparable. But SPB can sing any type of song and that too he can make audience think that the actor himself sung that song so well.

He should be first on the list his music is the best

My favourite singer
