You have just displayed your 'great' knowledge of music by the above heroworshipping of the 'most overrated singer of the century' KK.
Before I go any further I would like you to listen to songs of Lata M in the film Lekin (1991). Lata M was clearly past her best in 80's , yet she was able to sing two very difficult (impossible by KK standards) songs. The songs are:
"suniyo ji araz hamari"
"kesariya baalma"
I would consider the above two songs as a litmus test for any film singer(there are other great songs also,but for starters this is enuf). I would love to hear KK making a pathetic attempt in singing those 2 songs with his not-so-great ability.
Please do not come up with standard lame excuses (typical of KK fans) that LataM learnt classical music while KK didn't and hence he could not sing classical songs. Who prevented KK from learning classical music and sharpening his skills.
No doubt KK was a fine singer and he could sing very well,provided all songs were light and demanded no special ability on the part of singer. This is an unpalatable truth which every KK fan has to accept, whether grudgingly or as a matter of fact is left to the fan.

anil i thinkkishore outshined paeveen sultana ++totally in "hume tumse oyar kitana"
kishore totally wiped lata in just one stnza o "tere bina jiya jaye na". thus is not on record but in movie jut this 1 stanza is here.
i hink rafi spb, yesudas wont be able to render "zindagika afar","ye jevanhai", "kaha takye manko ndhere chalenge"
their voices donot have that depth and softness
Kishore Kumar's range and technical skills were limited. He could not sing numbers which were as classically oriented as the ones Mohammad Rafi or Manna Dey could tackle with aplomb. Rabindra Sangeet is not demanding at all technically. The Robithakur
numbers KK sang therefore do not count as a measure of his skills. KK fans are reluctant to accept this. But that is the sad truth. Deal with it.
