I am surprised that we are always thinking of male singers as the best. In my thinking, Yesudas is the best in malayalam, Chitra being a close second.
In a bigger picture, I would say Yesudas, SPB, Chitra, Hariharan, Sujatha in that order.

Yesudas gets paid 1 lakh (oru laksham) rupees per song. And I heard that he got even more for (harimuraliravam - aaraam thamburan) I know this because my uncle owns a recording studio. I don't know if he gets paid more now or not.

jeevan or true_music_lover or ... u seem to be posting under several names too. Thats fine, but atleast try to post something new everytime, dont need 4 identical messages from u everytime, unless u r still struggling to master the rocket science of webposting.
Besides, Vidhu's greatness (or the lack of it) shows itself thru his songs, opinionated BS notwithstanding. Now, can we have a decent and educated discussion here, instead of musically disinclined wusses jerking our chains?
So, like I said, all new singers in Malayalam get 5-7 grand per song. The shows bring in the big money.

Before 2 years, the rate for Jayachandran's ganamela was Rs.75,000/- I understood this when he came to conduct a Ganamela in a near by temple here.

Yesudas charges 5 lakhs for a ganamela.
Jayachandran charges 80 thousand for a ganamela.
MG Sreekumar charges 3 lakhs for a ganamela.
These are their rates according to their popularity.
Anyone could book a ganamela for Vidhu Prathap for a total sum of 25 thousand!

North Indian singers suck compared to South Indian singers, especially Udit Narayanan and Sonu Nigum.
South India has and still producing the better singers of India. Take a look at KJ Yesudas, SP Balasubramaniam, P. Jayachandran, MG Sreekumar.
So many excellent singers with divine voices in South India. North Indians could only dream of such talents!

Vidhu Pratap is a charming singer n i'm his gr8 fan . we need not keep on passing comments. do we have such gift of singing so well. vidhu pleases everybody thru his voice. i've talked to him n i've understood that he is very good as a person. like most of the singers being proud coz they have fame. we can understand vidhu thru his simplicity . but some fools feel jealous n keep criticising others..
