Janaki the most versatie singer in South Indian FIlm Music has given her fans thousands of songs which are really good. Her voice has a unique and rich timbre which I really enjoy. lets take this opportunity to discuss songs by her in Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Telugu.Her songs sung under the tutelage of Ilayaraja, AR Rehman,Vijay Bhaskar, Rajan Nagendra, Shankar Ganesh, Upendra Kumar, T.G. Lingappa, MSV, KVM,VIdyasagar are really excellent. she done a great deal of Hindu devotional albums in Southern languages...lets discuss those. My favourite Chitra song so far remains "Kaartril Endhan Geetham". What a voice and that sharpness! So please, lets discuss her songs!! :-)
Lets make this an encyclopedia of S.Janaki's songs.

  Read shankar's post in http://newtfmpage.com/forum/19832.touched.html
  
  If S.Janaki had sung nothing else other than Azhagiye kanne song, I will still call her a MATCHLESS GENIUS!!

  hhhw, your opinion is also shared by the evergreen Sridevi. In one of her interviews, lo.......ng back to a Tamil weekly, iam not sure if it is kungumam or idhayam, she said her fav MD was IR and SJ was her favorite singer(Probably , now to NI stardust or filmfare mags, she might be pretending by saying Lathaji or Ashaji :))).
  The next question posed to her was which song of SJ she liked the most. For this, she replied "Azhagiya kanne" - Udhiripookal.

  We should invent a toggle switch that plays "Azhagiye kanne" on one input and "Katrukenna Veli" on the other - SJ fans will make us millionaires :-)

  S. Janaki has no parallels or peers.
  
  Some which influenced and impacted me a lot are quoted below.
  
  "RojaOndruMuthamKetkum Neram" from "Komberi Mookan", I suppose
  
  "Oh Vasantha Raja; Thaen Sumandha Roja" from "Neengal Kaettavai"
  
  "Chinna Kannan Azhaikkiraan" from "Kavikuil"
  
  "Oru Ragam Paadalodu" from "Ananda Ragam"
  "Megam Karukudhu; Mazhai Vara Paarkudhu" again from "Ananda Ragam"
  
  "Devan Thantha Veenai" from "Unnai Naan Sandithaen"
  
  "Pen Maane Sangeetham Paadava..."
  "Sandhana Kaatrae Sen Thamizh Ootre..."
  
  "Kanmaniye Kaadhal Enbadhu Karpanayo ...."
  "Kanmaniye Pesu Mounam Enna Kooru ..."
  "Kanmani Anbodu Kaadhalan Naan Ezhudhum Kadidhame..."
  
  and lot more.
  
  She is the only one who can provide variety.
  
  Her Hummings not to be forgotten.
  
  "Isai Arasi" Ival Oruthi Mattumae.

  Ooru sanam thoonkiruchu is an excellent song by the greatest janaki amma, I heard that Dr.IR composed for the BGM, while Padmashree MSV composed the songs, is it true?
  
  I mean the tunes were typical Ir ish songs, u can hear IR trademarks every where in these songs!!
