Top 10 Best Music Artists of the 2000s
Out of the many artists that put forth music from 2000 to 2009, which were the best?
Krishnan Nair Shantakumari Chithra, often credited as K. S. Chithra or simply Chithra, is an Indian playback singer from Kerala. She also sings Indian classical, devotional, and popular music. She can sing anything and everything, as proved by her works from the past 40 years. She is an excellent mentor and trainer. She is the best singer in the world. Her position should be at the top of this list, I think.
Versatility should be her name because there is not a genre of music that she cannot sing, and sing well. She is superbly talented and very underrated. She is and always will be timeless.
Chithra is still incomparable and unchallenged. Her voice quality and range have not been matched by any singer to date. She is a God's gift for music lovers.
