Comment on Asha vs Himesh by manali

Ashaji is really a great singer,i like her.But i did not expect her to try to underestimate someone like Himeshji,who has earned the same in only 2years,for which she took around 40 long years.Himeshji is so down to earth that he himself agrees that he is not too great..but his compositions are far far greater than anyone elses.And thats the reason why people love him.i love himeshji…keep doing well And let others be JEALOUS of you.

Ashaji is the most versatile and she can be compared to Rafi sahab the great legendary n most versatile playback singer in the Male category………..
Both of them have sung the most number of duets and that is a big bonus and are experts in Classical, romantic, comedy,masthi,sad, ghazal,quavali etc to give us listeners unending pleasure.
This statement is not to belittle the sweet combination of Lataji with Rafi sahab with whom the living legend has sung the maximum nummber of duets also but it is less compared to Asha-Rafi….

Dear Mr Dand,
Hello again! More heart burn for you as i have just recollected a couple of further endorsements on the Asha Bhosle front vis a vis her sister Lata Mangeshkar.Mohammad Rafi the greatest male playback singer of all time was featured on Filmfare magazine’s cover in the early sixties.When asked to comment on the two clebrated divas Rafi Saab proudly declared for posterity:”My head bows down before Asha’s talent and versatility”.He further placed Asha second only to the great Noor Jehan and relegated Lata Mangeshkar to the third slot.Also Shammi Kapoor the biggest superstar of the sixties often referred to Asha as “The male Mohammad Rafi” and said that had it not been for Rafi Saab providing playback for him he would have definitely asked Asha Bhosle to do the needful!!!! Besides was it not Talat Mehmood who had said that”Asha’s voice has more variety than that of Lata”? Sudhir Phadke the greatest of the greats-the man who was in no small way responsible for shaping the Asha Legend also maintained about his brilliant disciple:”Asha is her own rival. She compares to no one but herself”.Finally let us all hear Ghazal maestro Ghulam Ali’s evaluation of Asha Bhosle’s larger than life place in the history of songdom:”What Ashaji has managed to achieve in one lifetime other singers would perhaps need ten such lifetimes to come anywhere near”
Warm Regards ,
Darius kakalia

Dear Mr Nimesh Dand,
For your sake I do wish that I could generalize your rather over the top claim of “Lataji’s
voice” being “superior to any other singer in the world”!!!! but unfortunately dude the bitter reality of the matter is that people of merit and substance think quite differently.Ironic is it not that Naushad Ali the composer responsible for propelling Ms Mangeshkar to the top should have stated in India Today that”ASHA’S CAREER ACHEIVEMENTS READ MORE THAN LATA’S”.OP Nayyar the greatest coposing legend of Cinema Music referred to Ms Bhosle as “A SINGER WHO COMES ONCE IN A CENTURY”.Anil Biswas a maestro no less himself told me once that he considerd Asha to be a much superior artiste than Lata. - a view endorsed by V. Shantaram,Ustaad Ali Akbar Khan and the Mallika-e Tarranum Noor Jehan along with Khursheed the legendary diva of “Tansen” and “Bhakt Surdas” fame to name just a few. Now tell me who should we believe? all these greats or a non entity such as you
Kind Regards,
Darius Kakalia

People have this tendency to firstly praise somebody to the sky and then critisize them to no end.Just for record till 1991 Lataji had sung 5250 hindi film songs and Ashaji 7500 and not 12000 as claimed by many.And source of this data is Harminder Singh’s Saat Suron Ke Saath only which Mr.Darius Kakalia so proudly refers.How would these sane fans of Asha Bhosle react to S P Balasubramanium’s claim of having sung over 14000 songs?If Lataji was so powerful how was it possible that a composer like O P Nayyar came up with his unsolicited and nasty comment about her at a time when she was at her powerful best.And why composer after composer (S.D Burman,C Ramachandra and Shankar to name a few)came back to her after having vowed that they would never work with her?

IT seems that some people think of themselves as greater musician than almost all the yesteryear bollywood composers (except O P NAYYAR) taken together.Firstly the belief that Lata Mangeshkar laid any claim before Guinness Book of World Records is a wrong.Only the publication is responsible for the wrong entry and not Lataji herselves.Secondly if she has not sung as much as 30000 songs she has not sung as less as 3000 either.Going by the comment of some it seems that the music companies,the media,the whole of Indian Public and all the music composers were in some conspiracy to deny Ashaji her share.
