Adi aathadi (IR Cover with Srini)
Adi aathadi (IR Cover with ... Lyrics & Chords
Another evergreen folk hit by the Maestro. I discovered most of the IR melodies in the late 90’s. I had envied my college mate Anitha sing this song beautifully, its range n melody n harmonies were pretty challenging to me. More challenging was recording this with my son growing naughtier day by day. Here is my attempt. Thanks Srini, you did a great job.
Guys, you all know mixing is a trouble for some ppl ever since. We mixed our voices separately. So please bear with it, listen n leave your thoughts. Thanks.
Movie: Kadalora kavidhaigal
Music: Ilayaraja
Originally sung by: Ilayaraja, S.Janaki

Very good singing Ramya and Srini. Mixing and vocal balancing took away some of the listening pleasure.
Ramya, the higher notes sounded a bit strained, although I feel if you sang it open throatedly, it would have sounded much better. Expressions were very nice.
Srini, very good job – well adapted for this song. Keep it up.

Ramya Harish said
Thank you Kumar. Agree with mixing issues. And I did sing it open throated. Better mixing wud hv made it sound better I guess.

Ramya & Srini – havent heard this song in a very long time and hence cant comment on the nuances.
Ramya – felt your opening could have been slightly better- but later you caught on fine. In the mix – yours and Srini’s voices didnt sound well balanced. Loved your voice in la la bit espec…And harmonies though well done, will sound better if made a lot more softer in volume, IMO.
Srini – liked the roughness in the voice in the rendition.Munne pinne could have been a bit better, i thought. Well sung overall.
A good cover , both of you.

Hi Ramya and Srini,
Enjoyed your cover – nice pick in Shivaranjani.
Don’t know the nuances that much either, but I liked it overall – liked your low notes Ramya…

Uthra said
Ramya:
You have a very sweet voice. Well sung. Padapadakkum…. was very sweet. Harmonies were nicely done. It is a high pitch song esp. pallavi and felt some strain in your voice. Povadhenna in anupallavi was slightly off. Low registers were good.
Srini:
Nicely done. Santosam as in the original (and not santosham) brought a smile on my face.
Keep singing.
Ramya Harish said
Rahul – thanks:)
Vidya – Thank you vidya!
Radhika – Thank u, hope to imrove on mixing in the future:)
Kumaran – very glad u liked it:)
Sudha – Thank you. Glad u liked it.
Uthra – Thanks a lot. Yes, Pallavi was the most challenging for me. And srini’s slang as u mentioned was damn gud thru out the song.

Nice range and harmonies. I am not going to nitpick on mixing after seeing your disclaimer Ramya!
Ramya,
I gues, I am listening to you again after a short hibernation! You should upload more frequently. Very nice singing. The ending of the first aathaadi was a little pitchy….Btw, this song is from early 80s (not 90s)!!
Srini,
I thought you have Ilayaraja voice/style for a very long time. But, after listening to this song, I strongly feel its not true. You have your own unique voice and style…. very impressive…!
Keep it up guys!

Srini …. i think there is Telugu version of the same? Is it?
Smiling all the way.
Just seeing the name ‘Aathadi’ came here felt curious.

Ramya voice is sweet. Tamil songs comment panna many Tamil gurus are there. I did enjoy the rendition.
Thanks a lot for sharing.

Ramya & Srini,
So late here :( Sorry guys!!
Such an awesome pick from IL’s stable— so many memories :) So, kudos to picking this song.
Your start was commendable Ramya, that scale is not easy. You did a pretty decent job at holding that note. Most of your brighas were nicely done. Harmonies in the 2nd BGM was awesome!! However, the mansonnu rekka part was sounding odd. Thinking the ending 2/3 notes are not the correct ones.
Srini— nice job, your aaa at the end of the pallavi, think has an extra note at the end of each bend :) Sorry— swaram theriyalai, so solli kaatta mudiyalai LOL
Great job on a tough one, breath wise mainly!

Well rendered by both of you. In the initial the ‘Aathaadi’ could have been more bold ramya (SJ is simply superb). Otherwise, you have done a very good job of this great classic.

An awesome pick guys, brought back so many memories, Srini you actually sounded just like IL… kudos to your modulations man, great job.
Ramya, hitting that initial note is not that easy… you have handled that really well, i like the harmonies and also “Laa Laa” in the middle, keep singing.
Krishnan N v said
Ramya….Sorry for being so late here…
It is a lovely song I like very much …You both have dne a good job of it…
Ramya…you sounded quite good though as said above you sounded strained a bit at high notes and also felt the ending notes could be better may be with better breath control(like at 00.30)
Srini you were too good quite sounding the Maestro himself at places.
