what happened to K.S.Chitra?

[Oldposts]

in short,
my list of

lady singers who need to be given lesser opportunities than they are getting now:
sadhana sargam, malgudi Subha(when used in all those gana songs), bhavathaarini, Vasundhra das(she has learnt hindustani, please test that side of her..ayoo pathikichellam kudukaatheenga pa, venumna hindila paadattum), Anuradha sriram(overrated thanks to Deva and Karuppu thaan pudicha colouru)


singers who badly need to be given more songs:
KSC, Swarnalatha(badly used by anybody except IR), Sujatha(she is not high in my list though)

I also think that these singers being given less opportunities is due to a lot of things:

1. trend of present day songs - more of pop, less classical, melody-oriented songs..

(when is the last time an album like Sindhubairavi was released in the last 10 years?? no music based films, plain insipid love stories coming out one after another with no scope for good music..)

2. ARR the trendsetter, introducing dime-a-dozen singers and all of them vanishing after 1 or 2 songs? Caroline, Anupama, Febi, clinton, noel, and countless others..I feel that ARR does this for 2 reasons..one to have HIS stamp firmly on his songs and not let someone like SPB overshadow with his sheer singing abilities and secondly its a cheap "gimmick"..like how people fell for Suckwindher Singh in salaam gulaamu..

and others are just follwing suit..

Chitra is my favourite singer and I believe no one can replace her.I firmly believe CHITRA IS THE BEST.Its true that she is not getting so many songs,may be 'coz she is busy with her kid.All other reasons are non-sense.She is a very talented person and can sing any type of songs.She is still the no:1.

It happened for many right from P Leela, Jikki, Jamuna RaNi, L R Eswari....P. Susheela... Vani Jayaram... S.Janaki. How about the downfall of TMS and even KJY and these days for SPB. We all can say that they are legends and no one can replace them. Fully agree with this that no one's voice can replace the history creators like the above mentioned singers. But we need to accept that young talents are to be encouraged and new voices to be in the rise. Obviously the old will slowly vanish and new comes in.. It so happened in PS, SJ and KJY that they played very long innings than any other artists. But now, their span is just 10 - 12 years, which may even reduce as the time goes. So, instead of cribbing that the legends are not being given songs, let us be happy with listening to their good old melodies besides cheering the young artists.

Hope I have not hurt anyone's feelings

Shut-up. Do you know what play back singing is all about ?. Please listen to her songs before making any wild statements like this.

1. Kannallanee... (Bombay)
2. Uyireee.... (Bombay)
3. Enesai Padivaram (Tullatha Manmum Tullum).
4. Ethetho Ennam Vallarthen...

Please listen to these songs before making your judgement.

Sam,
You don't like any TFM singers including KJY, SPB, UnniK, Hariharan... Tell me what your expectations are ?.

If you rate KSC as zombie, then the whole bunch of bollywood singers are nothing but crapy....

Sam:

Chitra is a zombie huh? Tell me what do you mean by that? She is a singer of superlative calibre and great commitment. A person who values music will find her voice and her singing style/ presentation to be quite literally miraculous, emotion-filled and unchallenged in its own right. In thread after thread, you keep insulting talented and legendary artists . We all know you hate all these singers, and since you have voiced your opinion, please stop it, will you? Allow people who enjoy and value Chitra's calibre to discuss her music.

I wouldnt mind if you were to be objective in your criticism of her singing, but you are not. You are just posting to irritate others and insult great artists!

Congrats on KSChitra's new daughter.
