I find it unbelievable that the host should have to ask the audience to give Lataji a standing ovation after that performance - especially when they are there to pay tribute to the legacy of her magical voice (which they were not expected to hear anyway that night). It's amazing she can still sing like that at her age. Incredible!

URDU language gave respect and status to the lata ji and other indian singers, but they are ingratitude kind of people, who always try to name it "hindi".
In case you didn't know, Urdu and Hindi are dialects of the SAME LANGUAGE, called HINDUSTANI, if you didn't know, go look it up in any linguistics book. What is this stupid fuss about useless things? A language doesn't give status to anybody, artists give status to languages.
I wonder then why the music directors of those times stuck to Lata ji. Maybe they had a personal perception about Lata ji which matches with my perception. :-)
She may not be the best for the whole world. There are people who think Himesh is the best singer around. All his songs become a rage.But alas, she is the best female bollywood singer for most of the people alive.
Lataji- is the best singer in the world- at 78yrs she sounds better than a 16 year old
Meenakumari362 talks rubbish- lata is as versatile but more choosy than asha- have you heard lata singing cabaret- aa jane ja, mere naseeb me etc is mindblowing. Geeta dutt has a thick voice and never heard of sudha. Lata has been untoppled from th e top for the past 60 years and will never be
Lata is choosy because she cannot sing all type of songs. She can only sing easy type of cabaret songs. She is not fit for disco song either. She sang one disco song in Kuddaar and sounded as she had gone mad. Geeta&Asha are much more versatile.Maybe you haven't heard of Suman Kalyanpur, Madhubala Zaveri either. They sings like Lata as well.
Can Asha Bhonsle sing Beedi jalayle as Sunidhi sang? Can Asha sing Aayega Aanewala? Asha cannot. Even her husband chose Lata for kuchh na kaho as Asha could not give justice to that song. So where is your versatility comes?
Don't get me wrong Lata is good but not the best. I am fan of her songs as well. Yes I am sure that Asha also can sing the song you have mentioned. Her voice will fit also. Suman Kalyanpur, Madhubala Jhaveri sings like Lata as well.
Singing wont suffice. Singing with conviction and making an impression is what required. If Asha could have sing all kind of songs, we would not have heard Lata at all. I feel Asha is too good. I am too a fan of Asha but she is not the greatest too. Suman kalyanpur , I have not heard , I think, I have heard Lata and I need not have to find Suman Kalyanpur's songs.
dear friend, sweetness of sugar, honey and sugarcane is uncompairable. everybody is great and one of the kind. These people are the diamond of the Golden era. Now the days have come where we want to hide ourself from them. Have pleasure and enjoy!
Hey I think u dont know about music or melody,If she is screaming still she is doing it with melody. I have never ever seen some1 who doesnt put her on the top. Lata means melody, dont ever think of camparing others with her.
versatility:She sung fantastically for madhuballa when she was 20 and now she sings even better for preity zinta at 80 greatness:The actreses of the old used to mention in their contracts that they wud act only if lata ji did the playback , bt tumse baat karke kya faayda?u say lata ji screams?well i'll c how u sing when u get to 80.u dnt knw nething about music and jis cheez ke baare me pata na ho na bolna nhi chahiye log haste hai got it?
Can't understand how she is the best female singer as Suman Kalyanpur, Madhubala Jhaveri can sing as good as she can. Asha, Geeta and Sudha malhotra are more versatile than her. I don't think that Lata can sing mera naam chin chin choo or other Geeta/Asha cabaret number. Her sister Asha is better as she can sing sad, happy, classical and many other kind of songs. Lata is good though but not the best.
r u kiddin'? lata is an institute in herself, all the artists u mention don't even come close to lata in stature or versatility. they should not b even mentioned in the same sentence as lata, let alone b compared 2 her. 1 can argue that suman or geeta will never b able 2 sing 'mere naina sawan bhadon' or asha can't pull 'allah tero naam ishwar tero naam' off. try listening more of lata to get a handle of her range, her grip on tune, and her versatility...

Are you joking? Geeta, Asha can sing sad and many other type of songs and even that song that you mentioned but as said Lata can't sing piya too ab..or mera naam chin chin choo and many other cabaret number. Her voice will just not fit in.. Suman Kalyanpur, Madhubala Jhaveri is as good as Lata. Lata on the other hand don't even come close to Asha&Geeta. Lata only screams.
i have no doubt that all other singers u mention r unqiue: who can forget suman's melodious voice in "aap se humko bichre huwe", or geet'a legendary "waqt ne kiya kya haseen sitam", or asha's immortal ghazals in Umrao Jaan. every1 has their favourites, but calling lata's singing screaming tells me that it is not really a rational discussion, but simply an argument for argument's sake. i think that such a rigid view effectively closes any reasonable discussion.
How can u compare anyone with Lata? if u want to argue, i can tell thousands of songs proving Lata's versatility.... be a sad song, romantic song, gazal, raga based classical song, devotional song,
Incredible and evergreen as ever....
