In her prime, definitely Alka.  Shreya's voice is too sugary for me.  Alka's voice is sounding old now but in her prime its no contest for me.

In Alka ji's primetime Shreya was not even born I think lol.....Now if I compare shreya and Alka as Shreya is in the industry post Devdas .....I would say Shreya ....I sometimes find Alka's voice shrill at the high notes ....
 
So shreya for me ...

Alkaji has given many beautiful songs, thats her legacy, Shreya is yet to make her own .. but she has got what it takes to make it big. Personally I like Shreya's voice better.

it's hard to say who is better..........i don't have the knowledge with respect to assessing someone's singing talent with regards to the technical merits of singing.

to me, from a leyman's perspective........both have transparent and soothing voices.

the only thing i would say is that i think shreya has her own identity...as in i can tell when shreya sings a a certain song..that she sang and say yes...shreya sang that song

with regards to alka, i think you can make the argument that to a certain extent.....her voice has some similarities to lata

Indrahaunash:

"Hmm I think Asha ji and Lata ji are singers of two different style completely, so actually we can't compare them"


I would have to disagree with your comments here........although i do not have substantial evidence to refute your comments................so i guess you can say that i am giving a subjective preference
....not a factual argument..................other way i do like alka's voice also............but since the question is asking to give a preference between the two singers............i would choose shreya!!!!!!!!!

LOL..u r echoing what Sonu Nigam said in AVOI today .....He said aajakal classical singing is not appreciated ....composers search for voice not singing and then the sync sound and other techno stuffs do the trick......
