Who would you consider as the 4th best male malayalam singer after Yesudas, MG Sreekumar and Jayachandran. Right now I think its Vidhu Prathap or do you think its somebody else like Santosh Keshav, Venugopal, Kallara Gopan or somebody else.
Who would you consider as the 3rd best female singer after Chithra and Sujatha. I think its a choice between Radhika Thilak or Asha Menon, or is it somebody else like Renjini or somebody thats not malayalam origin.

  Your English is more like Manglish; your points are not very clear. Have somebody (like a real student at IIT) proof read it before you post it. May be then everybody will really understand what you are "trying" to say!!!

  FRIEND music has no language,no statistics,no worries,no competitions...you are making this forum as a field of battle.I guessed correct,you people will be demolishing the good threads.
  
  I know well, few among these who came up against PJ, are also aware of the fact, he is best musician so far in india.There are few north indian brothers who really are not so knowledgable to go through the magician of music's golden voice.Poor people,leave them with their thoughts.
  
  But..painful when keralites who know this musician are keeping quiet and starting up bad comments about him.They knows there was no other person who has such a touch in music upto deep.
  They lift up their worst character and what they preach here is like father's from church,is too absorbed by others who are fully ignorant about PJ's music.Enam,you are clever!You not only started up with praising yeshudas with wrong datas but also through undecent means tried to push down Pj's importance!

  Brothers don't quarrel in this particular aspect.You may agree or disagree i am introducing facts which i felt:
  Yesudas is undoubtedly a good singer.He is good in bhava,raaga or whatever you state abt him.But Jayachandran is a
  better singer than Yesudas.He is unmatched in classical as well as Carnatic as well as playbacksinging or melody
  singing.It is also truth abt kjy he tried to imitate P.JAYACHANDRAN to get that softness,melody,bhava and swarasthayi
  which was not achieved after this hard work.Sweetlad if you are jealous of the RAGACHANDRAN the king of music Sri
  P JAYACHANDRAN i don't mind.Even Chembai praised jayachandran and felt Jayachandran is a better singer than
  Yesudas.
  He is guru of Yesudas but Jayachandran sings well or he has the blessings of Chembai.Jayachandran easily reaches depth
  and vibrations compared to trembling shivering yesudas yet not getting the correct depth.You know,Yesudas is singing
  like strngthening his muscle but Jayachandran sings with cool.Yesudas takes it like a challenge in music to acquire
  wealth and to overtake other singers but Jayachandran don't have it.That may be the reason for Jayachandran being
  considered suitable for the best music director in our country A.R RAHMAN.There is no meaning in a dispute when it is
  obvious Jayachandran is a much much better singer than Yesudas.People like me don't have the power to comment
  about the best singer till now in earth P.JAYACHANDRAN.His raga,bhaava and shruthi was imitated by several singers
  including this singer Yesudas but were not successful.Can you think of any one song sung by Jayachandran singing by
  Yesudas?Yesudas always got best songs written by great lyricists but could not succeed fully to that extent.I find only a
  singer jayachandran in India complete in all aspect of singing whether classical or melody,In duets,In Group songs he
  proved he is a talented singer than Yesudas.
  
  It is undisputable truth that Jayachandran maintains Raaga and Bhaava at high pitches.K.S.CHITHRA recently is doing
  it.Jayachandran did it in Manhalayil mungithorthi in 30 yrs ago.Yesudas recently made a comment about good
  pronounciation in singing.He gave the example as Sri.P.jayachandran.Of course Yesudas don't have the good
  pronounciation as Jayachandran.PERUMBAVOOR G RAVINDRANATH mentioned the Singing talent to be initially
  following a GURU like Jayachandran.Yesudas's ALAPANASHAILI is never good as JAYACHANDRAN.But Yesudas
  tried to sing till now,what people like us can do is to pray to god to give him the talents like JAYACHANDRAN since he
  is trying to be like him.
  SARASWATHIDEVI is sitting in Jayachandran's tongue which makes him best singer in India.The lady with the same
  feature is Srimathi SUSHEELA.
  Jayachandran is having the features mentioned by Sweetlad.

  *******CHARACTERISTICE OF THE BEST SINGER IN INDIA*********
  1.MELODY:Jayachandran is melody,i am ashamed of stating about such a great person that "JAYACHANDRAN IS
  HAVING MELODY ALSO".But yesudas now and then had it.
  2.RANGE:Jayachandran's 90% songs had this characteristic.Let me point out some songs which have some less range
  Ninpadangalil
  Nunakkuzhikavilil
  Bhoolokarambhayute
  Yesudas's songs have range but equally there are songs which don't have range.It is like 2 faces of a coin
  3.SPEED:There is no speed in yesudas's songs.Noone can show a speedy song sung by him.He tried to sing sometimes
  like
  pavataprayathil
  which have not succeeded since it resembles a conversation.
  Jayachandran is superb in speed.
  Take for eg the song
  pa pa pa pa pa nisa manohari
  ma ma ma ma ma vikaramanjari devasundari
  To pronounce it properly and sing it speedily yesudas is not at all perfect.Jayachandran was fully perfect.
  4.VIBRATIONS:Vibrations are made by both singers.Both are equally good in it.Jayachandran's
  vibrations in prayam nammil was beautiful.
  5.DEPTH:Jayachandran has much depth than yesudas.In depth yesudas is nil in front of jayachandran.Even in a simple
  padam like karivarivandukal kurunirakal in DEVARAGAM take the part "kaikalo-o-o-
  jalapushpavalayangalo-o-o-o-o"
  He has the depth there.In all songs this is coming into picture.As Ajith show above,yesudas was unable to maintain raaga
  
  at high pitches is About this aspect.
  6.SOFTNESS:Even now when he is not getting chances as yesudas he maintains the softness like the song
  Ariyathe ariyathe-e in RAVANAPRABHU.But Jayachandran is not the master of this it is Hariharan.But Yesudas is
  nothing in this,he is always noty soft.But some songs like Kattile pazhmulam thandil ghe approached it.Jayachandran and
  
  Hariharan are 2 good in it.
  7.VERSATILITY:Altogether more versatile is Jayachandran but due to luck yesudas was more famous.It does not mean
  that jayachandran is less versatile.He was not recognised as he should be.
  If Jayachandran was given more chances he would have shown up the world.But when politics or other pressure comes
  against a singer what the most versatile singer can do?
  That is why i consider him as most versatile.If he should have remained there in bollywood,he would have been famous
  like his students.
  Jayachandran is the most talented singer ever India had seen.
