Last heard her in Kandukondain kandukondain. She must have sang couple of other songs after KKKK, but none became a hit. Looks like our MDs prefer
Sujatha and Sadhana over chitra.None of the recent releases (except for dil)has her name.
Is her reign over?

She has sung one good song in Vidyasagar's 'Dhill' .,

But she is finding less no. of songs, thats very true (

KJY, IR, SPB, Now KSCyaa ?

Naga, neengka chonnathu unnmaitham. ethukum oru period undu. athai thaandi yaarum poka mudiyaathu. athanala avangka thakuthi kuraivu enru porul illai. neengka mela chonna athanai perum kodi kattip parandthavangkathaan. inaikuk kodi kattip parakiravangka naalaiku iruka maatangka.
in my opinion chitra is vani jayaram no 2. spb is tms no2. kjy is pbs no2. sj is ps no2. swarnalatha is lre no2.
now no3s are getting ready to loose to no4s. avalavuthaan.

g. raghavan: saNdai Arambam )) chithrA is vj no.2? no way (please dont insult ksc ). she is ps no.2 ) talking about spb and tms, even spb's voice sounds (to me) feminine when compared to tms's. i was listening to avaL paRandhu pOnALE this morning; pbs who starts the song beautiful starts appearing to be a wimp once tms enters! vidu joot )))))

Chitra....the P.Suseela...number2 is busy in malayalam and kannada films .Till recently she was busy in Telugu but no longer....In tamil she records maximum 10 songs a year...Avale Solrale...Enakkaga TFM il MDS wait pannina kalam malai yeripochunnu....
By the way she sang one good number with Mano ...BRAMMA..BRAMMA...in Ninaikkadha Nalillai...Which confirms once again she is next only to Suseela...TNS

Raghavan sir,
Enna neenga??Five comparison threads arambikka vendiya vishayathai oru postingla waste panreengaley??..
I was listening to "kannalane" from Bombay recently in which i could find Chithra gasping for breath inbetween.I have seen her in stage performances also struggling for breath..
But her voice is my fav till now....Her voice is like from a teenager and it suits Revathi very well..I love Chitra singing for Revathi..
I cudnt digest telling swarna as LRE num 2..Swarna is far more better in anubavithu paduthal than LRE IMHO.I hated LRE's voice as much i loved Chitra's voice..
Wont comment on other num2 and num1 comparisons..

The decline of chitra ia directly proportional to the decline of ilayaraja. She was at her best during Ir's SUPREME music in 80's and early 90's. most of the new composers are behind young blood now. No wonder many greats like SPB,KJY ....are not heard anywhere nowaday's.

Sad to hear that. Has she been totally side-lined? Please do not tell me that her replacement is Sadhana Sargam.

kannan even IR doesnt use chitra any more. She sang one song in kannukuL nilavu(which could be on fazils request). None of his other recent releases has chitra.
I hope ARR has a given a song or 2 to chitra in parthale paravasam, as chitra is KBs fav singer.

Please don't write off Swarnalatha already. She just gave some beautiful songs with Vidyasagar.
