Aaja Nachle ( cover version)
Aaja Nachle ( cover version) Lyrics & Chords
A total contrast to my last post Maargazhi poovae :)))
Heard this song once way back a year or so ago. Liked the tune and more so Madhuri’s moves in this song, probably the best bollywood dancer ever. Added to it Sunidhi’s vocals and who IMO, undoubtedly the most versatile singer on this side of the planet. When I was searching for a Sunidhi song to do, got this track and decided to give it a try. I have changed my voice a little, tried to be a little rustic and raw at the same time, given the image this tune evoked in me :-P
The usual disclaimers apply as with all my other numbers, improvs here and there, haven’t heard the original much, just a skeleton is what I worked with. So your tolerance is highly appreciated LOL
Movie: Aaja Nachle
Originally sung by: Sunidhi Chauhan
Music by: Salim-Sulaiman
Main vocals/backing harmonies and mixed by Meera Manohar
Thanks folks for listening, and just so you know I am still working on my Hindi pronounciation, given this is my 3rd Hindi gaana on Muziboo :)

Smitha Passanha said
Meera,
I am pleasantly suprised by your choice of song. I completely agree with u……Sunidhi is extremely talented and I think its her voice that makes this song something.
I liked ur singing a lot as usual. U never disappoint us :-) I feel the diction is the only negative here. Its more noticeable because the song has lot of words like “JHumka”, “THumka” etc. Other than that, your singing, expressions were all fabulous! Great work!

Krishna Tangirala said
Well done, Meera!
- Haven’t heard the original but your rendition was superb.
- Pronunciation was great
- I liked the gamakas in the anupallavi (lines ending with Jhankar and Baazaar)
- I was imagining Madhuri with your voice and it turned out well :D
I can probably suggest more songs for you in Hindi ;)

Oh yes….a special mention for the way u sang “Mujhko nachake nachleeee”….superb!!!

singing is fantastic, the energy was missing from the song, AAAJA NACHLE portions has a lot of punch and that what makes the essence of this song….that punch was missing to make it specific……diction is one thing u can improve A LOT…….
expression wise it was perfect in the 2nd antara……good job Meera but could have been much much better, ur last tamil song rocked bigtime……
one place there was timing issues too, which was very surprising……
keep attempting such hindi songs as they will help you in improving ur diction……

Rahul/AJ

Thanks Smitha & Krishna…. that’s was real quick :)
AJ: Thanks for taking the time to comment. Agreed on the diction part. However that being said, beg to disagree on the other points though. Timing wise, whatever you heard was intentional since I like to play around with rhythm in most of the covers I choose. I didn’t hear any timing issues when I mixed it, it was just the way I envisioned it to be :-)

Meera,
Well, with timing of the section i meant with the taal…….check back 3:39 to 3:43 (Aage jake gali pe balkha gayi)….that is what i meant…….i appreciate u trying variations but if they are not done tastefully, they sound odd……that is what i thought in this case……the music directors always create a tune to accommodate certain structures of words, which should be done that way……if you can do it better then feel free to do it but then it should sound smooth…….that way u can make any cover ur own song………Well, i dint feel it that way in ur rendition for 4 secs, but thats my opinion which you have already disagreed……so no worries……keep singing……

Hey George,
Thanks for pointing out my voice being different in this one, forgot to add that in the description that I had changed my voice a little for this song LOL
thanks for the comment! And, yeah the diction needs to be on my 5 year plan to get somewhere. Will get there soon…. hopefully !!!

Meera …very nice attempt ….you have sung this very well…and also Kudos to stepping out of your regular genre. Sunidhi chawan songs are all about punch ……your expressions were pretty good but will fully agree with AJ on the punch ….and also thought that you reduced the scale by a note ….which probably took some energy of this rendition ….again this is my view ….you dont have to necessarily agree with it;-)

Sreeharshan,
Thanks for taking the time out to listen and comment, appreciate it. Actually this is the original scale, and I just double checked it now as well :) Other pointers noted. I might not agree on it 100% :-), but will definitely keep it in mind for future Sunidhi renditions, in particular.
AJ: thanks for letting me know the time stamp for the timing issue you talked about. Still don’t find anything odd or non-tasteful about that place. But, thanks :D

Heyyy Meera, glad to see you are trying different genre. I really liked it!!! You sound really good. I think the punch was there, and the expressions were good too. Only small issues with the diction here and there…
Hope to hear more such covers!

Meera,
Don’t listen to anyone putting you down as far as singing goes…you are absolutely fantastic !!! All you need to do is work hard on your diction….that’s all. I don’t think that will be an impossible task for you. All the best. Again, GREAT sing. Enjoyed to the fullest.
Ramyaa Narayanan said
Very well sung meera. Nice song selection it suited your voice well. good expressions too.
As krishan said I was picturing madhuri doing het Thumkas in your voice :)
Diction has been mentioned by others but I should say that you have improved a lot and I can see the confidence in your pronunciations.
Keep them coming

Thanks Soumitra, Surajit and Ramyaa— points on diction deeply embedded in my head. Will definitely work on it :)

Krishnan N v said
Meera…
That was an excellent rendition. As per me the energy was quite right. And just felt some words like ‘Jhumka’ , ‘Thumka’ etc., could be said with little punch in them….But considering the overall performance I would ignore these slight points.
Great singing Meera….Keep it up…Al;l the best…

Meera….honestly surprised to see this one after that wonderful “maargazhippoove”. When comparison comes into act, this is average according to your calibre, I liked your improvizations though.
Yes meera, AJ and Harshan sir was right! With my very little knowledge on music I also felt the “punch” or “energy level” could have been better.

Instead of 5yr plan, your diction should be in 5months plan. I found that to be only issue in this song. Otherwise, you have sung it beautifully. I hope to be hearing more of hindi songs from you in future. Agree with you 100% on Sunidhi Chauhan – may be you should try some from Chameli, one of the finest works of Sunidhi. ‘Bhaage re Mann’, ‘Bheegi hui’, ‘Sajna ve sajna’,‘jhuki jhuki si sham’ – all these are great tracks, and hearing your rendition, they are right in your alley.
Best wishes,
- Satyajit

Awesome one! Great choice (haven’t heard the original). You sound completely at ease.
Do try and pay as much attn as possible to the lyrics, coz when a rendition is so perfect on all other grounds (including the “northie” feel- if u know what i mean- u havent made it sound carnatic despite the brighas, which is great!) the shortcoming w.r.t lyrics hurts even more- u know, its like climbing up a mountain almost up to the peak and not reaching it as against being somewhere midway :)
Again, bold choice and you sound so nonchalant. You rock :)

Thanks a ton Solu, NVK, Satyajit, Ramya, Srujana, Vamsi and Sindhuja— I am so so glad you liked it :) Pointers on diction… yes yes… I am listening and will work harder and harder :D
Ashraf:The energy “bill” or the lack of it has been touched upon in the first couple of comments. And as I said before, I do beg to differ there! However that being said, I do welcome your opinion on this number and shall sure bear it in mind for future renditions. Thanks for your comment!
Thanks guys… really feel encouraged to do more Hindi songs, thanks to all of you!

Sorry Meera took me a while to get here, but was pleasantly surprised with this energy filled and very well sung song. I heard this before for sure.
The way you modulated your voice is awesome, it suited the song, will not agree with above that you lacked energy, agree with others on diction, but these things are minor as long as you got the feel and the voice. Great job Meera, goes to my fav*….

Great work! Your voice has this smooth tonal quality that sounds wonderful….I thought it actually enhanced a rustic number such as this one…
Nice expressions as well…. a lot has been said about the diction, so i’ll let that go :)
Keep trying out new stuff.

Shampak Chakravorty said
Hello Meera!!!
All of them are absolutely correct except from a few…. Singing is superb undoubtedly…. n the timming issues in classical singing while singing singers do create their own variations but return to the taal back again in Dha…. So this is absolutely in the laws of singing…. Very very good…. Yes diction wise no hard needed but just practice those typical words before recording them…. It should come good then…. Awsome otherwise….do keep me updated with your latest uploads…. I would love to hear your voive again….
Regards,
Shampak.

Loved the ‘wild’ effect in your tone! I felt the energy was lacking a bit considering the foot-tapping energy of the song. I have not heard the original. Did you scale down your vocals?

Thanks Shampak, great to know you liked it :)
Balamurali— Thanks…. and pointers noted, no didn’t scale it down.
