I agree with Shalini there below (who may I add, having heard an example of her singing in another thread, has a beautiful natural sounding voice) when she say's she doesnt't seek to 'imitate' traditional singers.

Me too.
I have listened to them, but I don't live in a bubble and so my singing (uncless trained otherwise or at least 'consciously' altered) will reflect to a degree the type of singing that I hear in the music I listen to.
I do however feel it is indeed worthwhile exploring and discovering more traditional styles of performance, but whether or not one might wish to attempt to adopt such a style, is IMO another matter.
