oh, but voice comes into sharper focus when one sings. cant tell who has a good voice for singing until they sing all kinds of stuff.😉
as for the other stuff, well, this aint some olympics kinda competition where one should be able to stretch the chords this way and that, get this in sur and that in taal.😛 it's about someone who can sing well. and i think that means at a bare minimum someone who's pleasant and easy on the ears. not someone like sarika😉
