Tara …beautiful and expressive rendition …great job. Your diction was very good for your first malyalam cover …some words like unjhaal, payuntha, namuk …needs improvement :-). These are just improvement areas …doesnt take the charm away from this rendition one bit …also your daughter did a great job too :-)

Tara,
Amazing rendition! The only diction issue I found was the way u pronounce “na”…but its normal I guess. The way u sang the high notes is just phenomenal. Beautiful!!! You are my favourite female singer on Muziboo! Goes to my favs…

Awesome rendition Tara. Diction is pretty good :-). Great expressions as always. Iniya sounded very sweet living upto her name. You could have let her sing a couple more lines of la la la :-).
From a recording/mixing standpoint, the table volume could have been lowered a bit.

Tara – very well sung. Sumeetha and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it; Inia’s contribution was the icing on the cake. I have a special connection with this song; as a guitarist in children’s orchestra during my schooldays (which are long long long ago :-)), this was one of my first songs to be performed live. More than the lead, the bass guitar accompaniment is one of the most appreciated part of the composition.

I like the malyali version because of the ease of language (though I dont understand)
You have done it quite wel Tara…Nice work..
I wish the guys who made the karaoke long ago, would have tuned the Tabla and dholak for the song…Turns me off!!! Not your bad :)
P.s. – I loved your little one’s voice more than yours :)
Kudos!!!

What a composition!!!!!!!! What a singing!!!!!!!!! Amazing Tara! A magnum opus from Raja sir and You have done justice to this classy song…. You inherit that quality to bring out the feel and expressions. superb and ur daughter’s voice adds cuteness to this song. God bless you, both. I will ever remember this song in ur voice. And in Tamil, he has used this tune for Vijayakanth-starrer AUTO RAJA and the song goes like this, ’Santhaththil paadaatha kavithai… sung by IR himself and it did bring the same feel. Hope to see many numbers of IR covered by you. All the best for ur renditions in the ensuing days.
Thanks & Regards,
RAJ.
