I think Shreya's fast number perhaps would be yeh ishq hai, from the film jab we met.

My dear bellvue

something like ek do teen (Tezaab), Yudh kar (Yudh), mere angne me tumhara kya kaam hai(Lawaris),
I agree Shreya can do this but somehow she is not getting these numbers.
And can some one point out why Nihira is not getting great numbers like Shreya..? I think they are of same age, pls correct me if I am wrong.

You can't compare Alka ji. She has been reigning for a very long time and for us to compare Alka ji to someone more recent in the singing industry is very unfair and just not right. Even though Shreya is a fabulous singer she has a lot more to learn from her elders, Alka ji being one of them. Each singer has their strong points as well as weak points. As far as which of the two is a better singer, its not right to pick one. You just can't compare the two.

I have compared because they are singers of same style, mode and thought this could be good food for musical discussion, I am myself an oldie (not in 20s)and a fan of Alka Yagnik.
Hope you will understand my POV..😃 and let me get away....😳

Everyone thinks differently and that's ok. For me, I don't think its right to compare two great singers especially when one has been in the industry for so long compared to the other. 😛

I agree with Rani...you cant compare them..its like comparing Ashaji and Lata ji(ok maybe that's exaggertion)

for me..since I'm a "younster" I prefer Shreya and Sunidh over Alka...but I LOVE some of Alkaji's songs...some of them she sings perfect...I like both of them..and I reallt dont know the technical aspects..for me both have sweet voices and are pleasant to listen to

Hmm I think Asha ji and Lata ji are singers of two different style completely, so actually we can't compare them.

I agree on this point that Alka ji is in the class of 'has been there, done that' in Bollywood. On this basis she is ahead no doubt.

Thanks Tani.

Indradhanush, I respect your POV. But all I have to say is that its not fair to compare a singer who's been in the industry for a long time to a singer who's just recently made her appearance. Shreya has a lot to learn. However, she is a fabulous singer and just amazing! She has so much sweetness to her voice!

unable to upload............ Alka on reality show singing

'Young aspirants get enamoured by showbiz'
29 May, 2007

Priyanka Srivastava/TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Alka Yagnik talks about the many upcoming singers who make it through talent shows.

Singer Alka Yagnik minces no words when she is questioned if the talent shows on TV actually unearth real talent? "As a judge, I always try to bring talented people to the fore. We aim to explore a perfect combination of good voice quality, singing potential and the energy to sustain stardom," says Alka, who is on the judges' hot seat for a second time in a row. After the Lil' Champs, it's now for Voice Of India. How different have the experiences been? "They have been very different. In Lil' Champs, we interacted with kids and so, had a different way of handling them, but in Voice Of India, we have mature voices and seasoned singers," she says.

But, what is the fate of these singers once they win? "It's true that once these people get recognition, they get exposed to stardom and glamour. Many of them get distracted and lose their focus. They get too enamoured by showbiz and thus are not able to sustain themselves for too long here," she adds.

With the number of singers increasing with various shows, is there place for everyone on board? "Yes, the number of singers have increased, but, I see no harm in that. In fact, the monopoly of a few singers in playback singing has really reduced because of that. The scene is different now as there are several fresh voices and these new singers are trying out innovative styles," says Alka, whose voice still has the magic to turn songs into hits.

Winner of innumerable prestigious awards at almost every awards function, she says, "It's always a pleasure to receive awards. An award is always so encouraging and it is a recognition of your work, so I'll always look forward to receiving many more."

In a scenario, where most star-parents are busy promoting their children to come into limelight, Alka prefers being different where her 16-year-old daughter Syesha is concerned. "My daughter is too young to handle the limelight. She has taken up singing only as a hobby. Syesha is more interested in directing films." And since Alka is such a disciplinarian, she maintains that she will "never promote but just encourage my daughter in whatever she takes up."

Shreya, hand down. Alka Yagnik is too shrill for my liking.
