I found this on youtubehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFCwdUA6WW0
Beautiful jawari and perfect akaar. Good range and sustain of voice..
I like the fact that she is singing without the usual drama and
histrionics (no twisting of the mouth, knotting the brow, or excessive
hand movements).

A study in contrast (as far as gestures and mannerisms go). My God I
feel sorry for that Tanpura!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HxrT55r-MI

Agree with the observations - this was the first video I have seen of
her and it is satisfactory to see the no-gimmicks appraisal from the
audio translate to the overall presentation as well.

There are some ho-hum moments - IMO it simply takes too long for
Gorakh Kalyan to emerge from the alaapi

I am not a big Gorakh Kalyan fan. But also the youtube was edited kind
of randomly and the flow was broken.

and the 'bareek' work (murki/khatka, etc is not very clean, but overall very nice.

Can you elaborate on the bareek work? Is it just missing or is the
execution bad? Also, do listen to Mausam's clips - for one, the audio
quality is far better than the youtube. I liked the Shree a lot, the
other pieces are also nice.

I'd like to listen more to her music.

Why don't you get her invited to Austin / US for a concert series :)

The link works for me. I like the Aakar and jawari in her (Aditi
Upadhyay) voice ... but ... in the lower octave the Lalit at certain
points sounds more like Puriya, with a clear Shuddha Dhaivat. It's not
uncommon in Lalit, and that's one reason why Lalit is counted among
Marwa thaat too, but this Puriya-like formation is new to me. Overall
good rendering, nice temparament.

Actually, the link I was referring to was Mausam's link to download
Purnima Bhat.
