Some where i heard that comparison between artists is wrong as music is like a museum and each item has its own uniqueness in a museum and can't be compared. But still i want to point out the strength and weaknesses of all time great singers of Hindi film industry.
Lata: In my opinion Lata is the greatest singer of all time in this world. Technically she is perfect and nobody can put a finger towards her capabilities. Although in rare occasions i felt she lacks putting emotions in her songs and it may be true that she is not that emotional, but still she is so flawless that we tend to ignore the emotional factor and enjoy her voice.
Music directors like O.P. Naiyyar and R.D. Burman selected Asha Bhosle for most of their song when Lata was considered the only choice. It is because of the fact that they think lata cant create childish emotions for fast songs as she used to be considered a serious singer.
Rafi: Rafi is a singer that could take a song to a new level by putting his emotions in the songs. I have listened to atleast 10000 songs till date but still do not know any singer that can touch the height of emotions that rafi did. Rafi was a all rounder and can sing any kind of songs.
Kishore: The level kishore touched in singing fast numbers rafi couldn't. please listen to "janu meri jaan" of film shaan, sung by two best male singers of india. In this song kishore takes the cake away, while rafi could not keep up with the pace of kishore. That's why he became the primary choice of R.D. Burman. However in song "tum bin jaun kahan" of film pyar ka mausam which is sung by both Rafi and Kishore seperately, the one with Rafi's voice is far better as kishore could not achieved the melody created by Rafi.
I have tried to explain my opinions, if any body has any objection please feel free to say but give a example with ur point.
