What do you think about Yesudas' voice now? Eventhough he is old, he is better than all other Mallu singers. His voice is suitable for all kinds of songs unlike Jayachandran.

  It 's really sad that people fight on whether one singer is better than the other...Actually what u gain by proving to others that one is better than the other?I admit that it is we who created fame for these singers and acclaimed them.But no use in establishing ur self centered views on their singing.It will be good if we learn(I sing and have been practising music for more than last 15 years, i am not joking)something from their singing.
  Eventhough it is futile to weigh these 2 great singers let me tell u what i noticed..
  
  1)Their voice.
  
  Yesudas' voice has many quualities like the excellent tone, Pitch involvement(in malayalam it is typically "sruthi sudham"),very good range(u might have noticed that he sang hi pitched songs and very base voice songs.I think u need not much clarification on this.),the flexibility of voice(His voice's flexibility is more pronounced in his Hindi songs like "Jab deep jale aana";i noticed that even the intricate patterns of sangathis can be heard clearly through his voice).May be i spak abt a little bit technical abt singing but these are the things which clearly differentiates a good singer with a great singer.
  On the lighter side:i doubt whether those evergreen songs can be sung exactly like that agan by anyone,even Yesudas.
  
  JAyachandran's voice has good tone and range (i did not hear he going very high in a song), but a less amount of flexibility in voice than Yesudas's.
  
  Feeling in singing:I think Jayachandran scores a little bit over Yesudas in this category.Plz don't argue with me.
  Type of songs they sang:
  Yesudas had sung
  Classical
  Semi classical
  Ghazal type songs
  Qouvvali type
  sad songs
  love songs
  Beat songs
  
  
  What abt Jayachandran?U can comment on this; because i am not sure abt the whole list.
  
  And after hearing some of Yesudas's songs i certainly felt that No more improvisations is possible on that song because he has done it that perfect(May be u can count this as my limitation in creativity!!!)
  I didn't feel that after hearing Jayachandran.
  
  After all if the song is good we all appreciate the music and henceforth the singer...
  Let their songs bring u peace and joy..and most importantly if u are serious abt music, there are a lot of things to learn from their music.So listen listen listen... without the cheap biases

  All that songs are very well and much better did by Jayachandran but were hidden by some music directors.He sings better than yesudas not once..always!!!from my experience.I saw Jayachandran singing in open air programmes where he sings the favourite songs of yesudas better than yesudas.The perfection..the true music..is none other than p jayachandran.

  It is in the beauty of the songs that counts..and not...arguing about which one is better than the other other

  Surely.In our kerala,people with broad mind like DJ must come up.He knows the truth.
  
  Sree p jayachandran sung more good songs,but was not given awards for such great works,why DJ what is your opinion?NO,This is not for just quarreling.
  
  Please,those who want to quarrel don't post...

  Both are great singers.i used to be a great admirer of k.j.y 's sound, at that time i never took ear p.j's sound.but once i heard his voice i became a great admirer of his voice too.Infact another astonishing fact about p.j is that vat ever song i come across of his,i likes to hear it more and more that song.this has came across his lot of songs.to be frank i like a lot of songs sung by k.j.y. but i likes to hear almost all songs sung by p.j. also now i feel p.j in no way inferior to k.j.y. coz i find some quality(i don't know how to describe it, may be a little bit more manly sound,may be a bit more bass) in p.j's sound that k.jy's sound trails.indeed it it vice versa too in some other qualities.so both are on a par with each other, and ofcourse way above the rest
