  The biggest compliment that I can think of for her is "the female SPB". There are a hundred different singers with sweeter, younger and more melodious voices. But I have not heard single one express as well as SJ. She'll always be my favourite. Some more SJ 'must-listens' -
  
  1. Kannan Vandhu Paaduginran
  2. Chinna Chinna Vanna Kuyil
  3. Oh Ho ! Megham Vandhado

  Poor lady! So that's the reason she not singing too much at the moment. I think she deserves this break after all this time, but fans like me are surely going to miss her.
  
  I haven't heard any other singer express so beautifully and sing with a natural ease (she even overshadowed SPB in some songs). I always thought her child-like, innocent voice was really sweet and attractive. She certainly demands our attention through her singing, though. I can always play anybody's song in the background and work on something else, but if SJ is singing, I unconsciously stop everything and just listen to her. She's amazing!
  
  Some more SJ favourites:
  1. Paadava un (Naan paadum paadal)
  2. Ooru sanam (Mella thirandhathu kathavu)
  3. Ayiram thamarai (Alaigal Oyivathillai)
  4. Roja poo aadi (Agni natchathiram)
  5. Raasavae unnai (Mudhal mariyadhai)
  6. Aagaya gangai (Dharma yudham) and many many more......

  Hi guys!
  
  Srinath, this is especially for you:
  
  You have not complimented S Janaki by calling her 'the female SPB', instead you have only....sorry to say that.
  
  It's not right to call her so, considering the seniority and the capability of the singer. She was quite well established as a singer when SPB had not even yet made his debut! If anything, the reverse will be true.
  
  It's quite tough to find a singer like S Janaki especially to sing at such an incredible ease in even great high pitches.
  
  Eg: Sangeedhame En Deivame
  
  Pick the toughest song ever made in India and give it to all the female singers in India: S Janaki would be the winner.
  
  To quote none other than the late S.A.P. of kumudam (arasu):
  
  "Andha vechchu, andha laavagam, andha thiramai...senior-ai nerunga mudiyaadhu." - in response to a query asking him to compare S Janaki with the then rising star Chita.
  
  Inevitably all the songs of S Janaki where she has given a husky touch, have been definite winners. Her voice itself is a husky melody.
  
  I am at awe whenever I listen to her in "Kalaththai Vendravan Nee".
  
  Some of her songs among others which are immemorable are:
  
  1. Thaara Avar Varuvaara
  2. Ninaithaal Podhum Paaduven
  3. Malaiyum Iravum Sandhikkum Idathil
  4. Ulagam Azhagu Kalaigalin Surangam
  5. Unnidathil Ennai Koduththen
  6. Veenai Meettum Kaigale
  
  7. Sendhoorappoove Sendhoorappoove
  8. Kuyile Kavikkuyile
  9. Adadada Maamara Kiliye
  10. Azhagu Aayiram Ulagam Muzhuvadhum
  11. Aagaya Gangai
  12. Indha Minminikku
  13. Chinna Chinna Vannakkuyil
  14. Chinna Thaayaval Thandha Raajaave
  
  Ofcourse, can there be an other 'Singara Velane Deva'?
