The "Oscar"music director in my opinion is not a true or right appraisal of Rahman`s musical talent, and the "Oscar" label is somewhat misapplied and was fluky. I say this because I heard him singing our national anthem and just could not overlook that as far as the first things of "singing" are concerned, he did not know them, although, of course, he did appear as if he was a singer, gestures, neck craning etc. Though not a singer of any standing (just as Amitabh is no singer at all) He is a good composer for Hindi film dancing sequences i.e. he accomplished a fine blend of beautiful attractive body movements/gestures/mudras with musical notes and rhythm. He should stick to that and not give singing performances. Far greater music directors avoided "singing" in public performances.
