Great effort, Radhika…. very nice singing…… the lilting mood of the song came out very nicely…. the only place i feel (very small though) which i wud have changed if i cud is the part between “aiyeeeee” and “Meherbaan”…… there is a very small pause in between these two…. where u take a breath…. that happens, only when u r pulling the “aiyeeee” part…. but otherwise, brilliant rendition…. a classic song, rendered beautifully… 5/5… and my fav :)
Regards,
Bodhi

Hi Radhika!!!
Very very nice singing…. Specially capturing the style….with a few of changes in the original modulations…. Donno whether those were intentional or not…. Awsome effort…. But felt the volume of vocal was a lil more louder than it should have been…. 5/5 from me….
Regards,
Shampak.

Nicely sung Radhika! The start “Aayiye” could have been a little better. Nice expressions otherwise. U also seem to be an Asha fan like me :-)

Lovely! I haven’t heard the original but it was very nice to hear your version of it. Well sung. I have a couple of comments (minor issues)
(1) I think your voice was louder than the background music
(2) There were one or two places where the words could have been a bit more clear but it could very well be because I haven’t heard the original.
I enjoyed it and 5/5 from me.

Hello Radhika……
Sweet & expressive rendition with lots of feel ! I feel that it would be much better if you can re-do the mixing especially the voice balancing in certain places.
Hearty Congratulations ! Full marks to you !
Yet another one going into my favourites !

Nice job Radhika. You’ve captured the feel of the song perfectly. As Sowmya has pointed out, the delivery of words is excellent. The mix is better too (still a long way to go though… so keep working on it :) ) 5/5

Thanks for your feedback, Soumitra . The nasality you mentioned surprised me though – its hard to sound nasal on that word :). Thanks for listening and commenting.

Radhika – ‘aan’ in ‘meherbaan’ sounded a bit nasal too me :) if you open up your mouth a bit more i feel it would sound better…ofcourse its my point of view and others might differ :) keep singing :)

Dhiraj Barla said
Another awesome choice of song Radhika, I think you mastered the art chosing the best song for your voice. Your expressions and the ada with which you sang certain words in this song were great. First “Dekha Machalke Jidhar” hasn’t gelled with the rest of the song (may be its the way you mixed it or you re-sang that part)…
Radhika Nair (away) said
Dhiraj – glad to see your feedback. Thank you. Need to see what you have said about the Dekha machalke line. I didnt do a patching there, but will check it out. Thanks again,

Radhika, you are awesomely talented, have sharp musical skills and a unique voice. You surely have to go to greater heights and should not be stuck in the realm of the virtual world. You will surely succeed at the professional level. I do no deliberately comment on small mistakes as I see that you have the insight to see where all you have gone wrong. That’s the ultimate difference between the real singer and the wanna be’s. The Laptop song Jalashaiyyayil, was enough for me to see your inside and your potential. God bless!!

Radhika Nair (away) said
Pradip – thank you very much for your very encouraging feedback. Means a lot to me when it comes, especially from someone like you! Thank you also for adding jalasayyayil to your favs – love that song very much myself!

You sang this one beautifully, Radhika. Got the expressions right which is crucial here….and the ever-so-slight gap between Aaiye and Meherbaan is prominent only coz the rest of the singing is so smooth :)
Well done!

Rajeev Onv(away on a long break) said
Hi Radhika,you are singing all my favourites! And doing a wonderful job at that. You have found the soul of the song. good work!
However, next time you sing this please correct the portion ‘shokh se leejiye’-the notes are not correct.
I would like to listen to you singing ‘Chain se humko piya’-the OP Nayyar-asha version of waqt ne kiya.

Radhika Nair (away) said
Thanks again, Rajeev. Good to know that this is one of your favs too. And thank you for pointing out that error – never noticed till now.
And Chain se humko kabhi is on my list. Will surely do it sometime. Thankyou for suggesting,
