Round 8: Anuradha Paudwal - Page 3

No one is comparing her to Udit Narayan. You are acting like Alka Yagnik sang with her and overshadowed her.

I've said that Uditji overshadowed Anuradha - i.e. she didn't express her lines as well as possible, because right next to her was a singer who was singing those same lines with more feel.

Alkaji expressed her lyrics with more flair and consistency.

And you're right - JUST because Anuradha got overshadowed by Udit in expressions, it doesn't mean she was automatically worse than Alka too.

But the fact is, Anuradha WAS worse than Alka in the expressions department.

Here we go again. Himesh ji and Anu ji are at loggerheads again. Ek Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag thi aur yahan Risingabove Ki Aag...😉

Yeh toh batao Gabbar kaun hai yahaan??

It'll be really interesting if there is a tie-break between Alka and Anuradha.

In the 90's Anuradha Paudwal would use her influence at T-Series to dub others' songs. So even though music directors would choose Alka Yagnik to sing their songs, they would be forced by the casette company to dub the songs with Anuradha's voice. (She even forced Anu Malik to dub over Lataji's voice with her own, but that's another story...)

Then when Alka was a big name in herself, she could afford to resist these dubbings - and we ended up with two versions of the same song - one by Alka, another by Anuradha.

So if we could compare them on the same song, it would make the tie break round very interesting!

Ohhh...can you tell me any song now which has been sung by both of them?

Yes I might agree with expressions, but the singing aspect, no.

Off the top of my head, the 'Dil' soundtrack by Anand-Milind comes to mind... Lemme check up on that....


UPDATE:

1. Anuradha dubbed over Alka in Anand-Milind's 'Dil' and Alka was unable to get her songs retained.

2. Anuradha also dubbed over Lataji in Anu Malik's 'Radha Ka Sangam' and Anu was too small a name to put up a fight.

3. Anuradha again dubbed over Alka in Dilip-Sameer's 'Itihaas', but this time Alka protested and her versions were retained too.


Check out smashits.com, where 3 songs are by Anuradha and 5 by Alka. (http://ww.smashits.com/music/hindi-film/songs/18356/itihaas.html)

But planetbollywood.com's music review for Itihaas says that ALL 8 songs are by Alka.
(http://www.planetbollywood.com/music/itihaas.html)

So there is a possibility that 3 songs were released with BOTH singers.

Gabbar is one and only Producer ji...😛

Ohh..lemme check...

I guess now I really have to justify my ratings since some people just can't learn to respect what other people have to say. Its like everyone has to be on the same page and rate exactly the same. And thanks for putting all the blame on me, SSK. What great sportsmanship you show!

Ahh Rani song! <3 Anyways I agree that Udit ji totally overshadowed Anuradha ji in this song. The opening of the song was so well executed by Udit ji. I think Anuradha ji is really good with the slow, sad songs. For example I absolutely love these songs:

I felt she lacked in a lot of portions in this particular song. She made a really good attempt at singing the song. It wasn't a bad attempt, but Udit ji really did overshadow her. Udit ji hit every note on the right key, whereas I felt Anuradha ji struggled a bit. I don't want to give Anuradha ji a low score because I think she attempted the song really well, but if I gave Sunidhi 7, I must rate this one a 6 unfortunately.

Final Rating: 6

Yeah guys, CPR giving Alka a 8, and Anuradha a 6 has nothing to do with her being Alka's biggest fan, and seeing that Alka might get eliminated this round. It almost seems like I saw a +1 for Alka added at the end, and a -1 for Anuradha. But that can't be the case. It has nothing to do with who is her favorite singer. Nope, nothing to do with that. Nothing at all. I mean, BIG coincidence here. That's all.

Alka Yagnik would lose to Anuradha Paudwal
