The Top Ten

1Shreya Ghoshal
She is a versatile singer who can manage all type of songs and she has such a voice that everyone is attracted...
When I am in a sad mood or in angry mood I would listen to her music that I just forget everything...
She sings really well.
she is truly a best singer of india
she also receives many awards
She is the best singer I have ever heard. She knows all the techniques and her style of singing is really unique from the else's. I think so she is the top of every singer today. She is the versatile singer. She can sing in any phrase of style. You can compare her chikni chameli with mere dholna, you will get the idea that she can sing every thing and whenever she sings in the regional languages she gets involve in that as if she of that region. She is the best and she is the unique and for these reason many people and contestants are trying to copy her.

2K.S. Chithra
She is the most versatile singer after s janaki.. Very sweet voice.. Chinna kuyil...
I like the voice of Chitra, Alka, Sadhana Sargam and Shreya. They are the highly talented 4 female playback singers in present.
But Lata Mangeshkar, P susheela, S Janaki and Vani Jayaram are the past highly talented female singers.
Saadhanaji and Alkaji I love your voice. I give my first mark to Chitra because Chitra can sing any language like Yesudas and Shreya Ghoshal.
She is a very good singer with respect to getting the right emotions in her voice for the actor that she is singing for. Just cannot imagine " Uyire Uyire ", ' Raat Ka nasha " and a whole lot of songs where she has emoted so well through her voice.

3Lata Mangeshker
She is a great singer she should be on no. 1 position that's why I have given vote her. I want all other song lovers to vote her and listen her songs which are really impressive songs. So I wish best of luck to you lata ji please sing some more beautiful songs fir your fans.
She is the best...
poore india me unki barabri karne wala koi singer nahi hai. Inko to first par hona chahia...

This is true, she is the mother of all singers... She is the best in all times songs. She should be on number 1 position. Any way she is already in number 1 position, so doesn't matter here. She is first and last the queen of songs.

4Asha Boshle
She is the best female payback singer as she has sung every type of song which is difficult a singer to sing. She has versatile talent of singing but one more thing I want to say that I can't compare her with Lata ji, because if have chance to vote for both I definitely give equal vote to both, but due to my choice of song is different I prefer to listen songs of Asha Ji.
Asha boshle are a good singer.
I love you.
She is so cool

5Alka Yagnik
If lata is queen of melody then alka is princess of melody. She has completed more than 25 yrs in film industry. Not only hindi, she lended her voice in other languages such as bengaly, telugu, oriya, bhojpuri etc. She ruled during the 90's.
Alka has won 7 filmfare awards and 2 national awards.
She has the voice of all generation...
Alka is the best
Love you alka g you r the the best singer in whole world I am the biggert fan of you or plezz ap agy b ganey gati rehna all the best my favorite alka g

6S.Janaki
Lataji always below than S. Janaki, P. Susheela, Vani Jayaram, Ks Chithra. Lata and her sister Asha feared Vaniji because of vaniji's quality. That's why when Burman introduced vaniji they forced him to send back vaniji saying if he gave more chance to vani They won't sing. It shows Lata and her sister hAS NO TALENT. ONLY EGOS AND FEAR. THE GOOD QUALITY OF ANY SINGER IS TO ACCEPT AND APPRECIATE OTHERS. LATA DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OTHER FEMALE VOCALIST. IN CASE OF S. Janaki said in one program chithra is better than her in singing. It shows her quality, her simplicity, and she knows manners, and what Lata does? She doen't know how to respect others. Majority of the people in India is Hindi speAking that's is the reason she got Bharat ratna and not to S. Janaki. Our Govt also give more priority to Hindi People. That's why the great people like Sivaji sir, Ms and ramamoorthy sir, Janaki Amma, Vani Amma do not gave Bharata Ratna.S. janaki contributed more than Lata. If the real talented people like MS subbu lakshmi, Dk Pattammal, Janaki Amma, Vani Amma, Chithra sings Lata can not stand before them.S. janaki is mother of all female singers in india not that bloody Lata. MS subbu lakshmi, Dk Pattammal, Janaki Amma, Vani Amma, Chithra are Godess Music they are saraswathy ma, vani devi. Shame on You Chappathi Eating People. You don't have the brain and not ready to accept real talent. Only complex is there. Please change Accept real talent.
Lata ji got Bharatha Rathna and padbha vibhushan... By the Govt. But People Choice always JANAKI gi... Lata never be than Janaki... At least not be equal to janaki ji..
All may not know about Lata ji.. She sent vani jayaram ji out from mumbai. Even she doesn't agree her sister... Too.
She was one of the greatest female singers of India... But I was disappointed that Lata Mangeshkar was awarded Padma Bhushan, Padma Vibhushan and the greatest Bharat Ratna also.. I'm not blaming her talents.. She was great... But The Govt of India must not only give priority to North Indian Artists but it must also consider the South Indian Artists... She (S. Janaki) was very old now.. In this time, If the Govt would honour her, it will be considered as a greatest achievement in her career... Awarding awards Posthumously is meaningless and utter waste...

9P.Suseela
She is best female singer in the world great voice she is queen of melody
Susheela is the greatest indian female playback singer ever.. Even lata comes only second
No words to say about susheela amma... Becos no need to say about the goddess for music. Living god for music in the earth is none otherthan P. Susheela.
If she sits on the white lotus with VEENA... She is the saraswathy of Hindu God for music.

17Mahalakshmi Iyer

19Amrita Kak

20Sujatha Mohan
Sujatha or Suju is one of the best playback singer of this generation. Fortunately or unfortunately She did get a national award due to lot of politics inside the National award Jury. Twice she missed out once in a Tamil movie another in a malayalam movie. Her voice is sweet and melodies especially duet songs. She has rendered many songs for A R Rahaman and Vidya sagar lots of hit. She is one of the eligible person to be in top ten. Even after completing 50 years she is amazing. May god bless her to be in this industry for so many more years.

Thanks & Regards,
Your loving Fan
