Hey guys!!

It was pleasure listening to your cover of such a beautiful song! I liked it much.

Karthik, As Ramya said the clarity of words is very good! I’ve always admired the same with singer Unni Menon. Keep it up!

Jenefa :)

Adithi Devarajan said

Hmmm…….Fantastic choice, first of all!
I have always felt that Sriram P outshone Sadhana in this one and also that her portions aren’t as enthralling as Sriram’s- my personal view.

Karthik
You were brilliant! Your improvisations were excellent and your voice suited this song to the T. Although I would have liked more “nayam” in “Yemaattri”. :)

Sindhu
Another feather to your cap! Have always envied the clarity in your voice.

Great job! Definitely one of the best duets in Muziboo in recent times.

B R I L L I A N T !!!!!!!!!!

Just Brilliant. I loved it. You guyz are an excellent combo. Just LOVE both of your voices. Never heard this song before. What movie is this?

Karthik,

The sangathi @ 0:55 was just brilliant.

A slight off @ 1:07 and same note all the way. You got it right @ 0:43 though. Nothing major or nothing YOU cannot correct.

Ending the Second charanam you just rocked!!!!

Sidhuja,

Nothing for you!!! you were just brilliant.

Nothing more to say….straight to my favs…Definitely 5/5. Excellent guyz….Keep singing.

Ahaaa…. what a song to pick? :=D

Karthik— very nice overall, some subtle brighas ( like when you finish the pallavi for instance) thought could have been better. Sorry to nitpick, but then you are generally very good at subtleties :)

Sindhuja— Nicely done as well, but the end of the charanam @ 2.19ish could have been a little smoother I thought :) Higher registers sound a little strained….

Mixing could have been a little brighter IMO.

However all that said, it’s an awesome song and these are just nitpicks since you both are stellar singers :) Kudos…. and congratulations on completing 3 years of audioblogging Sindhuja!

Karthik and Sindhuja:
This is a melodious song and you have sung very well. I enjoyed listening to it. I like songs rendered with a good clarity of words and yours was one. When I listened to the track, I really liked how the guitar has been used in this song.

Karthik: kaNNE was very nicely done. The variations/improvisations were good. You have a natural gifted voice. I think in charanam, I felt that one place was slightly rushed – right before poo vAsam begins but didn’t spoil the rendition in any way.

Sindhuja:
Very nice. Kaadhal endrum ulladhu or some such line in charanam was superb.

Keep giving us more melodious songs like this.

Karthik:

If I were to shut my inquisitive ears for a moment, I would claim your rendition as flawless just for the sheer magic of your tone and the way you caress the syllables. However, even while one is drunk with all the senses out of action, ears are supposed to remain active. That is why, a friend musingly explained to me that we say “cheers” (to the ears) over a drink.

Hence, the rendition is beautiful but not flawless. There are marginal slips which ideally, if a recording engineer were sitting in a studio and monitoring your recording, would easily make you do a retake for some portions and rectify. Anyway, I enjoyed it nevertheless.

Sindhuja :

Sustenance in the only issue. Excellent otherwise.

Very very pleasant to the ears…. !! Though I don’t know the song, enjoyed it… !
