But, Gayatri, if you compare among females, you wouldn't find younger lot of them lacking in any manner from the veterans. ARR has introduced so many female singers,you can name any female singer and find that her first ARR song is great and doesn't give any slightest indications that it could be her first song. Then, why are male singers not comparable to veteran male singers. > With all due respect, Dr. SPB started of his career through a > rather adequate singing himself.
