Good one George. But frankly you seemed little strained at the higher registers and some minor off’s here and there quite unlike you and so affected the throw and flow:) You could have reduced the scale a wee bit. That would have given your voice the weight it requires at the highs and it would not have gone thin. Still great effort. Singing at ARR’s pitch is never easy.

Good rendition George….You beat me up to this rendition. I would be doing it soon too.

At the start you goofed up the lyrics a bit:) Also the start volume of ur vocals were a bit lesser as compared to the track. The lower notes need a bit of volume tweak as its difficult to hear it in the mix.

Urdu pronunciation of Phir is PHHir not Fir.

Nice energetic vocals, Some off’s here and there but I liked it overall.

Regards,
Amu and Rahul (AJ)

Hi George

Nicely done. I do agree that lower nodes need a tweak in volumn because the background music covered it all. Rest was really good!

Thanks everyone for the kind comments… I wanted to sing in the original scale itself. I think there was a reason why Rahman picked this scale as it suited the theme… It was a little bit of a stretch, but with that said, I think A R Rahman was stretched thin too on this song. The scale is just as such and maybe thats how he wanted it to sound…

I tried doubling the track on this for vocals to get the Rahman effect for the song. Doubling ends up being a double edged sword sometimes as there are changes in pitch, timing etc between the two tracks…

Rekha swaminathan (on and off...) said

Thank you so much, for attempting one of my all-time favorite songs!

More than just a good attempt. I liked your improvised Vande Maataram. At one time, the Vande ‘E’ sound hit a different note than the original, but it sounded right in the melody. Don’t know if it was a deliberate impro, but it sounded good. Also, liked the sudden energy spike in the ‘Vande’ at the end, when the scale goes up. Guess that is where you probably simply let go… :)
ARR’s scale in this is a slight overkill indeed. And I’d tend to agree with you on the doubling voice. I think the result is better without risking it…
A few small diction stuff which I wouldn’t bother to touch upon, the song did all the magic for me… :)

Two thumbs up….Am FAV’ing it…

Hi George! :)

Thoroughly enjoyed this rendition of yours! Loved every bit of it! Really difficult a song to sing, this one… Stupendous task to sing it!

HATS OFF to you for singing this magical composition by the great ARR!

Hey Bro…… Wonderfully done….
Indeed a killler song…. I couldnot find an evident glitch as such…. I may only agree with the low volume in the initial lower registars…. which may be increased…. Hats off for the harmonies at those high ends…. The sharpness of the vocals specially in the high mid area may be reduced to get a smoother result……… Thumbs up from me…. U can try the C4 compressor for that purpose…. Thumbs up from me….will wait for the revised edition for the fvorite option :)

Excellent Vocals…Lame track…I thought it was pitch perfect, and since you’re most at home at this scale, I know that you’d intentionally incorporated the strain in your voice…Glad you did, it would’ve sounded blah otherwise…Wish you’d sung mataram as ARR did 4:35 onward though…but oh well, I likey still – flaws n all :)

Absolutely brilliant singing, George! It is not an easy task covering this song in the exact high pitch without spoiling the beauty of those nuances. Loved it! Did not bother too much about the offpitches since the feel was amazing throughout.

To favs!

Thanks for covering this one.

Monstrous pitch in the first place- and given that, think you did great, and enjoyed most of your improvs a lot. And honestly, think the strain kind of adds a weird niceness to this number.

Hope you were able to find your voice after having done this number :)

Thank you Smitha and Subbu… Subbu – I dont think the pitch was the issue in this case. High pitch as such does not bother me…The common theme I’ve heard from my friends is that I sound tired… Maybe I was just not in the right frame of mind to sing this. This is a very demanding song as you can imagine.

Seeing the enthusiasm from all of you, I will definitely redo this. I do agree that this is not to the same level as some of my other covers and I am determined to get this there :)

total praises for trying this song. extremely tough song in terms of pitch specially and other nuances. u have done well although ur voice was strained at many places especially towards the end.
having said this….u have given the song a little different feel and style of ur own….which is very nice to see. hard to tweak such a BIG HIT of ARR and do it well.
