It's amazing how she sings in so many languages with such authenticity. As a South Indian, I feel she gives as much respect and effort to Tamil or Malayalam songs as she does to Hindi. That's real artistry.

Her journey from a small town to becoming the queen of playback singing is so inspiring. Shows that with talent and hard work, you can make it big no matter where you come from. More power to her!

While her talent is undeniable, I sometimes feel her newer songs don't have the same timeless quality as her earlier classics like "Bairi Piya". The music industry's shift towards faster compositions might be a factor. Still, she's the best we have.

Five National Awards! That's no small feat. Each award-winning song is a masterpiece. "Maayava Thooyava" from Imaikkaa Nodigal gives me chills every single time. She doesn't just sing, she makes you feel the story.
