TANA MAA TV Indo American Super Singers Contest
TANA MAA TV Indo American S... Lyrics & Chords
First of all apologies to everyone for not listening/leaving a comment to anyone’s songs from a long long time, Needless to say that I was busy (I think in this world everyone is busy), but I was really busy with work and other stuff. I am now back to my normal routine. I wanted to share some news with you guys.
In my musical journey, I took another step towards my dream. I won the TANA MAA TV Indo American Super Singer contest held in the first week of July 2009 at Chicago IL, USA.
It was a week of pressure, excitement, constant practice and opportunity to perform in front of esteemed judges, Mano (Nagur Babu), Suddala Ashok Teja(National Award Winning Lyricist), Chandra bose(Telugu Film Lyricist) and Goreti Venkanna(Telugu Film Lyricist).
The competition was started off with auditions in seven different cities in North America. We had ours in Toronto Canada. From each location they chose 2 singers (regardless of gender) and All Semifinalists traveled to Chicago for Semifinals and Finals.
First round of Semifinals was contestant’s choice round and after that they chose 7 for the second round of semifinals. I sang Mallelu Poose from Intinti Ramayanam sung by Sri.S.P.Balasubrahmanyam Garu. Here is the video of that song.

Second round of Semifinals were held on TANA Main Stage, which was filled with respected dignitaries and other popular film personalities along with over 2000 curious music lovers. In this round they asked every contest to sing Patriotic film Songs in Telugu. I sang Vedam La Ghoshince Godavari from Andhra Kesari again sung by Sri.S.P.Balasubrahmanyam Garu. Here is the video of that song.

Their initial plan was to have two rounds of Finals, one Melody and other Fast Beat film song. But due to time constraints (the show ended at 2:30 AM) they have decided to go ahead with a Melody song (Pallavi and Charanam) with no background music. I sang Chukkale Tochave from Nirikshana sung Sri.K.J.Yesudas. Here is the video of that song.

I updated my blog with embedded videos from youtube.
*Note: All these videos were shot using our Canon Digital Camera by my Wife, I think she did a wonderful job with the limited resources.

I was following these TANA celebrations and many of my friends were there from Bay Area. When they told me that Dhiraj won the Super singer contest I kind of thought it might be you (Muziboo Dhiraj Barla) for a second and IT IS YOU!!!!!!.

Jokes aside, Great job Dhiraj…….Really commendable performances on all three occasions. You totally deserve this reward.
