1 K.S. Chithra Krishnan Nair Shantakumari Chithra, often credited as K. S. Chithra or simply Chithra, is an Indian playback singer from Kerala. Chithra also sings Indian classical, devotional, and popular music.

To listen at her voice she sings with great feeling and passion what touched your heart and brings tears to peoples eyes.

She is adorable unique singer of our time, she can do more than everyone expected! So young at her age to have platinum certificate and competing with all popular singers. She have divine voice, pure and fearless. She is just a new comer but doing lot of concert and record in just a short years of her discovery! Heaven can tell how good and magical confluent her song bring to the world. Love this kid so much!

When I look at the list of those Jackie is compared to, she is ahead of all of them by a very, very long mile. There is no comparison. And she is only thirteen. No wonder that, not long after the beginning of her professional career, renowned female performers in her field supposedly refused to appear with her or after her performance. They just could not compete.

In 2012, Jackie sang at the "Wedding of the Century" for Yara and David Shoemaker. She recorded her new CD "Songs from the Silver Screen." Then, before she even publicly performed those songs in concert, she taped a PBS Great Performances special featuring those songs. She did all of this within a few months of turning 12 years old. I'd say 2012 was a pretty good year for Jackie, even before she went out on tour.

Jackie is in a class of her own. And if she is allowed to mature at her own pace, while in the process of growing up and passing from childhood to womanhood, she will astound the world even more. At least, that is my hope, if not my vision.

3 Nicki Minaj Onika Tanya Maraj, known professionally as Nicki Minaj (born December 8, 1982) is a Trinidadian/American rapper / pop music artist.

Despite her controversial songs, Brent Staples from "The New York Times" claimed her to be 'the most influential female rapper of all time', presumably distinctive for her fast flow and her use of alter egos with Cockney accent. She has endorsed Adidas, MAC Cosmetics and Pepsi.
