Lets us discuss more here as there are some real music fans here. It is worth exchanging ideas rather than talking about stupid HR and AS .

The only fact I disliked about Lata and Aasha is that during their peak days they never let any other female singer succeed in Bollywood. Suman Kalyanpur, Krishna kalley, Mubarak begum, Sharada. and a few others were nipped in the bud.

When you come from a school of hard knocks, that happens. It is even said that Lataji did not want Ashaji to suceed b'cos of the competition, I disgree with that, I think it was more of their internal house matter

anyways

comparing a Lata and Asha

or Comparing a Rafi/Kishore is a neverending argument

regards who outsang the other, you will find equal songs in the Rafi/Lata or Asha/Kishore modes

actually the point should be who jelled well together

I think Rafi/Lata jelled well in songs, and so did Kishore/Asha(and you can find examples of Rafi/Asha and Lata/Kishore but they would be fewer in comparision to the Rafi/Lata or Kishore/Asha)

regards the voice detoriation, you should hear the live shows and when they are performing their own songs, you can see how good they were when they sung the song originally and how bad(in comparision) they look now. What is up with the great one's and retirement? why cant they retire when they are on the top?

Just my POV, you can have yours

I am in 100 % agreement with Sareg (perhaps the first time 100%)

That's why I never attend live shows! Almost every singer performs below par in live shows, I feel. I would never buy even Lata or Rafi's live show recordings. For one thing, the instrumentation is not the same as the original song and that takes away some of the effect.

I think Lata and Aasha stop singing now. We are tired of their OOOOOOOOOld voices. At least not for films. Bhajans and private albums OK

But you hurt multiple million of their fans by stating the obvious, such comments are unwarranted

You got me wrong buddy. Lata and Aasha were my favorite female play back singers. But now they are not. Simply because they are old and no longer have the magic they once had. Aasha is doing slightly better than Lata. I have a huge collection of both these singers which I regularly listen to. I do not buy any new music at all other than listening on the radio.Creative and classic music was lost after 70's. But still there are good pleasing numbers coming out in the voices of Alka, Kavita, Shreya, etc.The songs that remained etched on one's mind were all that were composed before 70's. All the songs after that were instant hits but soon to be forgotten. In comparison to Lata or Aasha's new songs, the new singers are fresh, youthful and are doing a good job. Eveb an ordinary singer like Roopkumar Rathod sounded better than Lata in the great Madan Mohan's songs in Veer Zaara. THey should leave the stage when we still have good memories of them
