Geeta Or Meena Kapoor, identify the voices Options

[mahesh]

hello friends,
i am uploading two versions of ''ek dharti hai ek hai gagan'' which occur at two different points in the film ''adhikar''picturised on two different actresses.
hfgk lists the songs as asha and meena kapoor.'' the meena kapoor version was relesed in a compilation of meena kapoor about a decade back.
while asha has sung not sung the song.one of the version seems to be by geeta dutt.can experts identify and confirm the singers.
i feel song 1 is by geeta and song 2 is by meena kapoor.
regards,
mahesh

Both the parts are sung by meena kapoor. She had that peculiar habit of pronouncing "N", "T" and "R" without giving any stress...somewhat like the people speaking hindi in english style.

Bappa da....this is the reason you could find flaw in her pronouncing the word "nata". Also listen to the words ambar...saagar...dharti...tutey.
Moreover, the words dharti, gagan and mun in the starting of both the parts have been sung in that peculiar style...had there been two singers the pronunciation would have been quite discernible.

There was no distinction between the voices in both the songs. The song is a wonderful collection for a music lover like me!!!

Now for my personal opinion:
Yes, but I like her pronounciations better than Asha Bhosle's as well as I felt her voice quality is better than lata ji's. I think I have become a Meena Kapoor fan after Geeta dutt obvioulsy!!!!
