  Enakku nenavu therinja naal mudhal.. naan KJ's devotional songs dhaan kettu valarndhen...
  
  Engamma kooda...adhey keppa... KJ has so much of strong history in devotional field not only in tamil and malayalam but also in hindu as well as christian songs...
  
  KJ really brings out the devine feeling out of you... (saami pidikka vachiduvaar..!!!)
  
  SPB's voice is sweet but not that suitable enough to sing devotional songs like KJ...
  
  But I am a deep lover of SPB's film songs.. he is my most favourite singer, though..

  SPB is versatile (Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and to some extent Hindi) and a fantastic singer.
  KJY is fantastic singer more suited to Malyalam and Tamil music. Ofcourse we can't discount his Hindi songs. Overall, there is no way to measure who is better than the other. SOme like SPB more than the other and likewise vice versa. Both are the best in South India.

  I was highly impressed by the devotinal songs of yesuds, in his songs he brings God to our mind and heaat, in otherwords our heart are raised to heaven.Yesudas cannot be compared to anybody,he is a unique creation of God.His voice unique ane divine.SP is good singer but he is a child bifore yesudas.I have noticed several times that when yesudas sings a special beauty comes over the song.Moreover, it is said that his voice is the best male voice in the world.But like this nothing to speak about SP.

  KJ is more suitable than spb in devotional songs..
  may be in film music SPB performs well but not in the devotional side..
  KJ makes a very tough song look so simple(ex:enthan nenjil neengatha from kalaignan)becoz of his strong carnatic background.but SPB decorates even a simple song by his natural ability to add life in any song he sings...
  two greats of south india..
  but my vote is for KJ when it comes to devotional songs..

  I like both SPB's and Yesudas's voices but when I compare both, Its Yesudas's voice which I would give more marks!
  
  Its just beyond comparisons!!! I wouldn't say anything more...

  Dear readers,
  Yesudas has released marvellous albums devoted to Hindu gods/goddesses inspite of the fact that he is a Christian. That's remarkable open-mindedness inspite of stiff opppostion from priests of both
  religions.

  samuel:
  KJS is a tremendous person in these aspects. No one can doubt his bhakti to Lord Aiyappa. He worships Jesus as well as Hindu Gods. Probably, he is one of the few gifted persons in the world who have understood who is God or what does it mean by God.
  
  I think he was once refused entry into Guruvaayur Temple for the reason that he is not Hindu. I really condemn this act by those responsible.

  Well, I agree 100% with u. Looks like we are having a total match of wavelength. Well done!

  KJY has released Ayyappa devotional albums in all the 5 South Indian languages, Tulu included.
  
  His new album 'Ahimsa' also seems quite good
  
  
• From: LV (@ 203.197.81.177) on: Wed Jun 13 23:56:42 EDT 2001
  
  I loved SPBs Telugu devotionals like his 'ShivaStuthi','sai bhakti mala','bhakta Ramdas', 'swamiye saranam ayyappa'. They are all divine.
  
  However, I feel KJYs voice has some strange devotional appeal, it really puts u into a trance.
  I cant explain exactly what,but theres a starnge divinity in it, thats it!!
  
  I agree with Samuel. I wish both the religions show some openmindedness - especially to a man who has done so much in devotional music - whether Hindu,Christian or Muslim.

  Hi
  Rajesh R ;
  peep ;
  mohan;
  
  KJY is more popular when it comes to Devtional more than SPB, but the reason for that is KJY is carnaticaly trained singer, he has been singing Devtional songs (not devtional songs, from films, but pure devtional albums, like "murugan songs", "ganapathy songs") for a very long time, but there is a better choice than KJY when it comes to devotional songs that, Dr. Seerkhali Govinderajan!!!.
  
  But has any body heards "sivamalai", "sivan padalghal" by Dr.SPB, clearly if you have heard them you will realise that SPB outperfoms well than Yesudas(no hard feelings), KJY is a proper trained carnatic artist, but we all know SPB is not hence he sings carnatic songs as well or even better than KJY, no problem.
  
  KJY's voice often sound nasal at "aiythan kattai" to "ettank kattai", but he does not sound nasal at low pitches like "muthalan kattai". But spb never sounded nasal, SPB's voice has a better bass & punch than KJY's.
  
  KJY's singing talents are limited (carnatic,devtional,some melodies), but SPB singing talents are unlimited, SPB is a legend when it comes to any thing, he already broke the world record for singing more than 40,000 songs, no singer in the world had achived this.
  
  SPB voice is lot heavier & deeper than of KJY, so I conclude by saying "SPB voice is the best in the world"

  I prefer KJY to SPB in devotional songs. I have thirupukaz concert by KJY. It is fantastic. The bavam pushed even the pronouncation mistakes back. I vote for KJY.

  spb voice may be manly, but kjy's voice is purely divine.
  
  he is the greatest ever.
  
  if anybody found the song 'HarivarAsanam Vishwa Mohanam' pl. share the information.

  Mahabs;
  
  Have you heard "Sivamalai", in sanskrit by SPB, if you have, you would not remember KJY when it comes to devotional!
  
  KJY is great, I agree, but his talents are only good (carnatic & devotional, some melodies), his high pitches are terrible, often sounds nasal.
  
  But SPB singing talents are Unlimited(from classic to Rock,duets,devotinal etc), KJY lacks the punch & manlyness voice of SPB, but nevertheless kJY is great, but certainly not the greates ever.
  
  SPB is the greatest ever!

  Has any body heard SPB's "sivaarpanam"(devotional), the entire songs in this album are in sanskrit!, SPB have scored 100% as usual, but this time in devotional songs, you will forget abt this material world & enter the heavens, once you listen SPB singing these songs!
  
  Amazing man
