Really enjoyed this one Meera and Jo. Meera, I thought you voice sounded a little different in this one. A tad bit more nasaly as compared to your other work. Dont know if its an artifact of the mixing. But gr8 singing. The parts where you have doubled your voice could have been mixed better.
Jo, great singing man. Your voice is perfect for this type of music.

George, I did see your comment on Jo’s post of Kaatril varum geethamae a couple of months ago. Interestingly the nasality was probably due to some processing during mixing, although I am unsure what or how :)
Thanks for the comment!

wow……………….it was really amazing

plz listen to my latest update and give ur feedback

Meera & Jo fantastic performance.
Why is whole song recorded only @ 64 kbps??
Minor suggestions: Meera – Pasu Ariyum Andha Sisu Ariyum (don’t pronounce Pasu ending with a “U”) also it is “Sisu”, I heard you as “Chisu”.
Jo – Can be little more expressive (sounded a bit flat) especially “Tandai enben”.
Since you guys take so much pain in recording & mixing, I am giving you these comments. If it were average singers, I would have just said well done.
Need more from you guys….BTW, your voice combination is great especially for this song.
God bless.
Cheers….Gops

Beautiful rendition Meera and Jo. Enjoyed listening to it.
Meera, felt you slided from Kalyani to Pantuvarali at the tail end of your humming portion right after varundhum uyirkku. Not sure if it was intentional.

Beautifully sung…One f ma favourite songs…
Ur sound suits the feel….
both of u sung well…infact!
Arvind R said
Sorry for my late comment, still catching up on muziboo maze!. You are a good singer Meera … and I can see you take a lot of care in your singing to be perfect. Jo complemented you very well. Actually it was very good to hear. Congrats on this one.
On the improvement suggestions … your voice shows caution and restraint … you just need to get a bit more bolder to be honest, if possible. You will sound awesome then. Secondly some tamil prounounciation refinement is required BUT compared to some playback singers these days, you are sounding pretty good.
Great!.

Bharathi Dinesh said
Excellent rendition by both of u! Great voices!
Regarding the pronounciation for ‘sisu’ I would like to clarify :
It is Sisu…. when it is single word …when it is a compound word as ‘anthasisu’ we got to pronounce it as anthachisu….because of the mei ezhuthu we add in between those two words antha and sisu. This is the general rule of tamil.
This applies for most of the compound words.
Thanks
Cheers,
Bharathi
