Sangeet Awards...Sonu Nigam leading nominee!

Sangeet Awards happening in Oakland on Sept 24! and...Sonu Nigam got two nominations! Amongst the Best male singers, Sonu Nigam has scored two nominations for Chup Chup Ke (Bunty Aur Babli) and Sun Zara (Lucky).Yayy!!!! I love both the songs! Of couse he should have gotten many more...He also got nominated in the best album category for his new album Chanda ki doli...double yayy! I really really really hope he wins! I dont know other singers in the best male singer category, but those competing for best album are Abhijeet Sawant for Aapka Abhijeet and Tera Mera Pyaar by myriad artists, and Teri Kasam by Adnan Sami...oh and Abhijeet is also nominated for best male singer...he's good, yeah, but Sonu Nigam is unbeatable...a Best New Voice award should suffice for Abhijeet Sawant, I think...
