Noor Jehan vs Lata

Noor Jehan. I'm not being biased, I always found Lata's voice too wobbly and high pitched, but that might have been because she was old.
 
What was Lata's performance at home?
 
Now I was never a Noor Jehan fan, although she was probably representative of Punjab where most of my family are still based. They love her over there, a bit too rough and ready for me. But she had some real soul in that voice, I would describe her as Pakistan's Aretha Franklin.
 
In there peaks , Lata was ahead of Noor jahan . In latter years Lata was not that good but still kept going because of big name.

I hated her through out my childhood too :))
Yep, some of the songs leave a great impression on your soul Ae rah-e-haq k shaheedo , Zulam rahay aur aman bhi ho, mujh sa pehli si muhabbat are some of those.
 
Its like asking which country's mangoes are better.

Lata has a huge following in Pakistan, I am not so sure about Noor Jehan's following in India. Both are great and legends.
