Another reason is because in the song Sabse Alag, who are the male singers - Shaan and Kunal, two leading singers today.. in female, Gayatri Iyer is good but she doesnt sing much.. Nihira is also new to this.. so it makes a difference..
I thought Ujjaini was super in Soul of Alag.. her and Hemu were just a class apart..just doing the different alaaps are great !
