    KV, great detailed analysis

    One example that instantly pops up in my mind is Machchi mannAru. Raaja’s singing is bang on the buck, sAvadi singing. And almost sounding lost, Chitra renders it quite meekly
    never heard of machan manaru song before...
    Janaki would have been just as expressive and candid as Raja in this song...

    you can hear Chitra trying to fit the character of the song in these lines:

    "ada sammu sammunu vaasam
    sallu sallunu thookkum
    sammu sammunu vaasam
    sallu sallunu thookkum"

    "nOvu oru nOvu puriyaama aeRum "

    Her voice and singing has an unmistakable ‘chammathu ponnu’ quality to it, the flipside of being technically top-notch, maybe.
    Janu’s voice, on the other hand, can oscillate between the timid-girl to ultra-hottie with baffling ease, albeit a shaky/screechy tone; the effortless versatility easily weighing down the not-so-good aspects.


    even when Chitra sang "Madura Marikozunthu Vaasam" with Mano on Junior Super Singer she was very bashful...but the punch is what makes this song...

    especially when singing lines like:

    "idhu ippOdhu vaattudhennae
    paattu oNNai avuththu vidu "


    well atleast she is not completely emotionless...she certainly is soulful when it comes to melodies and sad/yearning songs.
