One thing about singers struggling in NEPV - the portions aren't that easy.

There's no question the prior-gen singers like SPB-SJ, when in top form, would have oodhith thaLLified the job (and would have even made it appear as if those portions were not tough)...but those portions are not cakewalk when I try to sing along

Right.. I miss the legendary singers in IR's albums. I am not fond of Karthik. To me he sounds as bland as Tippu on the softer side. It was very difficult for me to hear him sing the hits that the directors wanted. Yuvan, made a mess of what he sang on stage, even my wife who was doing some chore elsewhere in the house, said, "oh my goodness, he is really bad at it". (but I think he did ok in the studio).
I did miss SPB specifically. I think he would have taken ennOdu vaa vaa to greater heights.
