Lata has a better quality of voice & correct urdue accent.

Nur Jahan could put more emtions into her voice & excelled in Punjabi.

Both have an extra-ordinary control over their voices.

Zeeshan/Anti:

...recall reading this when you put it out on the unplugged...

...see you have not changed your mind about the title:)...had and still do have problems with dueling in the title...the two divas were not dueling at all...(and if they were they ceased to duel after `47)...

...if anything the two legends were complimentary...

Hey Ms. Shah!
I agree with your viewpoint, hence the title of divas dueling. There has been a trend that I have noticed almost invariably. Punjabis and Lahoris love Noor Jehan, whereas Indians and Karachiites love Lata. Maybe that has something to do with it.
Thanx for your reply and your compliments!

Both Lata and Noor Jehan were played in our house and car...but too be honest Lata just a bit more....why just one queen and not two?

Great piece!
