Arunita might want to consider practicing singing in other languages since she's the popular choice for a Shreya Ghoshal replacement now 🥱 Shreya does Malayalam songs better than Malayalis themselves 🤣
@bold :- you said it, about shreya. Some composers were criticised for ignoring local talent & signing up Shreya. May be they are justified from their POV. But I feel, what matters is the outcome - you do justice to it, you get offers. Chitra , for that matter has sung in Hindi too. Music, after all , will transcend across all barriers.
Apart from the finesse it is the diction that matters. Yesudas fared badly in Hindi diction, SPB though with a slight southie bend, still found his niche in Hindi, more so since his voice suited Salman in his hey days.
And shreya’s Malayalam pronunciation is also bang on. She works on it, by making notations etc in the lyrics. And it pays 👌👌. Such a pleasure to listen to her mallu numbers. 👌
