I have started watching it only now after they selected the top 8. And I also had some doubts about the judging but last 2 weeks were excellent and judges did a great job, especially last week. Except for the comments on Gopalakrishnan (he is being favoured by James and Hari but Sharath is doing a good job there), I felt it was accurate (naan nenechathum - judges sonnathum 100% match aachu :P) Favouritism kandippaa irukku (for Gopalakrishnan and Lakshmi in particular) - but still 100 times better than Airtel Super Singer. Since I have no idea about the people who had got eliminated - I am unable to talk more on the judges. There was this guy named Vikram who is a very talented person. I was surprised to see him out of top 8 and instead to see the likes of Bhargavi who is just ordinary. But fortunately she was the first to get eliminated from the top 8 (Vijay Athiraj's comments when she got eliminated confirmed as to why she was dragged up to top 8.. namma janangaL :sigh: ) . Nancy is also not very good but she is still there (and i heard she is a relative of some one prominent in the production team). Vijay Athiraj romba scene pOduraar and all contestants should be coached properly to take the comments in a positive way. Negative'a yaethum sonnaa moonjiya thonga pOttukuraanga and it looks very unpleasant and it irritates the viewers.

Been a regular watcher (after top 20 I think). The judging is excellent but could not match the standards of mallu channels, which is understandable. But million times better than any thamizh reality show. And the judges are hilarious too, supremely entertaining. And I for one think the contestants are far from being playback singers. Most of them are ordinary. I like Nancy's voice though. I think she is Subashree's sister or something but I think she will be eliminated this week so thats OK I guess. And I think there is some favoritism (Lakshmi, Niranjan (I can't stand him) and Ravi). I would be happy if Sharanya wins it.

Ravi is technically very good. Hardly any flaws. He lacks the feel. Nancy is a typical light music troop singer, her singing is basically through experience and not through skills/talent. Niranjan is passable but not as great as judges project. Gopalakrishnan makes quite a bit of mistakes with pitching and tempo (tempo is always a problem but not highlighted by the judges). I dont want to talk about Lakshmi - I am just unable to stand her. She is an obvious pet of Hariharan. Bhargavi ellaam top 8-ku vanthathu only through favouritism. As of now my picks are, Saranya, Ravi and Karthik. I like Karthik's attitude, feel and style. He tries to do something different and he did really well with that Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan song last week. What ever said much much better than Airtel Super Singer. As Nerd said judges are really entertaining and it's just lovely to see Hariharan singing few lines of all teh songs the contestants sing. And I also agree that contestants are far from being play back singers.

I love this show. I personally don't think sharanya and Lakshmi are that good. Sharanya screams a lot but always gets by :x. Karthik and Ravi and niranjan are my favorites :)

I feel there's favoritism with lakshmi and Sharanya. I hope Karthik will win it, but lately he's not been performing too well :(

+1
She has music knowledge, but just that. Last week did you see her performance?. What a graceful song that was (chinna chinna aasai), and she totally spoiled it (mostly those fast songs, she just reads it), no elegance and excellently pointed out by judges. Her falseto is just intolerable. Sharanya, on the other hand does not possess musical skills (I mean didn't learn much classical) as Lakshmi, but her performance is way too good (except at higher octaves her voice becomes 'screach') atleast she brings the feel to the song unlike any other contestants and she is versatile too. I too vote for Sharanya. About judges, yes Venkkiram, they were little partial otherwise many from these 8 would not have made it at all. And overall, all these contestants performance is in the mediocre range, inspite Hariji giving lot of tips and training. Very gifted, but not utilizing the opportunities. Even younger singers sing better than them.

Good thread Venkkiram!

>> And overall, all these contestants performance is in the mediocre range, inspite Hariji giving lot of tips and training. Very gifted, but not utilizing the opportunities. Even younger singers sing better than them. >>

Very true ! I noticed that most of them are unable to catch certain very simple plans/sangathis when the judges sing for them and ask them to repeat. Gopalakrishnan is worst among all. Sharath repeated a simple note many times of nilavae ennidam nerungaathae but Gopalakrishnan could not get it right even once, despite several attempts. This is the case with all except Ravi. Ravi is technically very good.

V_S

10th February 2011, 09:19 PM

Yes, Ravi has got a very good talent overall among everyone. I prefer either Ravi or Sharanya to win (if at all Hariji selects only one and not five). Ravi can reproduce what judges tell. But somehow, he concentrates more on the notes, sangathis rather than the mood/soul of the song, which makes him ordinary sometimes. Last week 'My favorites' round, he was given a PBS number, which he sang as if it is a pathos song. If he improves on those aspects, he can do better. May be he is concentrating more on composing skills rather than singing skills.

Karthik on the other hand has good grasping skills, I was amazed when he repeated the swaras sung by Aruna Sairam in Carnatic round. But he has problem with the range especially lower octaves (even Niranjan has the same problem) . Also he prefers to sing (and also sings well) only particular style mostly peppy, trendy songs, which makes him less versatile.

Ravi's so-called improvization and the annoying pauses while singing puts me off. Especially when he does add something extra for Raja sir songs. What a show off. :twisted:

Apart from the judging (judge's comments) another reason why I like this programme is for the choice of songs, mostly chosen by Subashree. Simply superb.

Last week 'My favorites' round, he was given a PBS number, which he sang as if it is a pathos song. If he improves on those aspects, he can do better. May be he is concentrating more on composing skills rather than singing skills.

He was given 'Yaar antha nilavu" - a TMS song not PBS. That was a mistake by Hariharan. He paid very good attention to every person's strengths and weaknesses and selected the songs accordingly but he missed that with Ravi. That song will not suit any one. If at all there's someone to do justice to it , it can be only SPB not any one else. Good choice of song but badly misplaced. As James said, though it is a sad song TMS would have sung with some kind of majesty that would suit Nadigar Thilagam and that was completely nil in Ravi's rendition. But again it was clean singing in terms of other aspects.

Karthik on the other hand has good grasping skills, I was amazed when he repeated the swaras sung by Aruna Sairam in Carnatic round. But he has problem with the range especially lower octaves (even Niranjan has the same problem) . Also he prefers to sing (and also sings well) only particular style mostly peppy, trendy songs, which makes him less versatile.

Agree and I was literrally shocked when he sang Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan song from the movie Bandit Queen. I thought he would sing a very popular/trendy number in Hindi. Generally it is James who target Karthik a lot in giving negative comments but James himself said hats off for this particular rendition. Karthik was too good.

I dont know who is Harini. Gopal'kum favouritism nallaavae irukku - poongkaatrilae song nallavae paadala, he missed on the tempo and also on breathing. Adha paththi ethuvumae sollaama moonu paerum - rendu sentence'la nallaa irukkunu mudichaanga. Even yaethi yeathi song was dragging a lot due to tempo problem but Hariharan pattum padaamayum sonnaar. James went gaga over his nilavae ennidam nerungaathae song - which again was not up to the mark. But Sharath pirichu mEnjittaar and James had nothing to say after that. For poongkaatrilae song, I was disappointed with Sharath too. It is he who picks on Gopal and points his mistakes out very well but this time even he didn't. Sharath is my favourite too. Once he said to Gopal "nee ennathaan muyaRchi paNNaalum, intha south indian carnadaga sangeetham appappO vanthu anga inga ninnu thaandavam aaduthu. Carnatic thaevaiyE illa.. adha vittu thaLLu" - the way he said, I was ROTFL.

Totally agree! My only fear is she might even win the competition with these vazhisals :oops: She definitely does not belong to top 8.

Carnatic thaevaiyE illa.. adha vittu thaLLu" - the way he said, I was ROTFL. Sometimes he complicates too much for a song that has to be sung simply. Also his voice does not suit for soft numbers eventhough he tries hard. But he is a good singer.
Thanks Roshan for correcting me on the TMS song.

Somehow I think for this show, unfortunately they didn't get right people right from the start. I was expecting someone like Raginisri (who sang thesulavuthe), Ravi (another Ravi who sang 'Udaya Udaya', 'Oru Naal Pothuma' in Vijay TV competitions). I don't know why they did not participate.

Because if you take a similar competition in north, by this time (last 8), you would easily admire their talent without any second thought and it would be difficult to pick the winner, as everyone would have sung amazingly well. That's why they are singing in films at their very early age (best examples: Shreya, Anwesha). Here I don't see it happening. We are definitely missing something.

Yeah naanae ippO oru one month'a thaan paakkuRaen - and I have noticed a few times judges asking what song is this, from which movie and also saying that the choice of the song is not good. I think you are referring to that Something Something movie song Karthik sang. That was a very bad choice and that too at this level. I was expecting him to sing an ARR song and sizzle the stage but he disappointed me thoroughly. Nevertheless the Fateh Ali Khan song was too good and made me not to think much of his 2nd performance.

And I agree that they didnt get the right people for this show. If they maintain the standard in this season and go for a 2nd season, chances are high for them to get some very good contestans.

Just now ended up watching the show. Ravishankar's performance brilliant ever. Pinnittaan! That too a very difficult song 'Amudhum Thenum Etharkku'. Sarathji even offered him a singing chance.
Everybody, especially Sudha Ragunathan was amazed by his performance. Good show. On the other hand, Saranya's weekness got exposed. She could not even repeat the sangathis, which is very sad. Lakshmi performance is just so so. Niranjan also pulled it off brilliantly by another brilliant IR song 'Sridevi En Vaazhvil'. Overall good round so far.

Ravi pinni pedeleduthufied with Amudhum Thaenum Etharkku - Sharath said he has already offered him a chance in the movie 180, but Ravi has sung only a few lines .. (he said "adha avan 5 nimishathula paadittaan) but he would very soon offer him a good full length song :clap:

Saranya was bad..Very poor performance.. she gets out of my list of top 3.. (and why does she looks like pEi adhichufied when judges are giving comments.. oru maathiri abnormalaa moonja vechutta irukku - it looks really odd)

Lakshmi - also very ordinary performance with vocie cracking many times.. it is a PS song but antha inimaiyE illaama a very careless performance IMO but again the judges tried their best to cover her up. James vazhinjufied a lot and was hyping her even before she started singing :evil:

Roshan, I think Lakshmi's chances are bit difficult from now (unless there is politics as you said), as her weakness was also exposed yesterday. Did you observe when she sang those lower swaras, there is no strength/force as Sudha Rghunathan said. Similarly in higher octaves. But I don't know why James is praising her unnecessarily. That too yesterday, even before her performance he was asking, if that was her home turf (sangathi round). Even she was not confident, why do you want to give unnecessary credit?. That showed in the song as well. These are the kind of remarks makes us think in political angle.
Ravi should win far and straight from now on and I feel boys have better chance this time, as they are better singers, assuming no other political twist happens.

I agree about the singers highlighted by you. But if you take those days even legends like SPB learned classical only after he started singing in films. Just compare number of singers those days and now. Nowadays singers are born daily, here survival and competition are fierce. Unless you are immensely talented, there are plenty of options nowadays. Even I doubt the above singers will stand the test of time, and you can clearly see the limitations on the genre of songs they sing. When classical songs come in, I don't think these singers will get a chance, composers might opt for better singers in those genres. It is better now to get equipped and learn mostly all genres rather than being typecasted. That's the reason we call SPB, KJY, Rafi, Lata ... as legends as they can switch to any genres easily.

I agree that this show mainly projects on light music, but just two rounds of carnatic/classical sessions (in whole series of episodes) doesn't make it a completely classical show (still I don't consider this round as completely classical). These rounds just showcases their versatility and also their limitations as a singer, which is encouraging, I believe. There are lot of positives they can take from the show.

Also if you observe the same shows in North India, the singers usually pick up old songs which are mostly classical which have larger depth in tunes and much better scope for these sangathis and singers are ready for this. So there is no need for a separate classical rounds, even if it exists, it is good for singers.

Also, this is Hariji's show and we all know how great a singer he is and he expects atleast someone will turn like him, hence all these efforts.

Just my thoughts....

Gopal was good today. Nancy got eliminated. Again judges equating Lakshmi with Ravi is intolerable. James saying the same concerns as Ravi had, forgetting her range, elegance problems (lower and higher pitches, emotional content in her singing) is truly a biased opinion. Also comparing her with Gopal, Hariji was saying only she has improve 15%, but it seems Gopal has to improve 30% again clearly proves the judging fallacy. If these changes, we can expect a good and deserved winner.

Gopal sang IR beautiful folk number 'Malligaye Malligaye Thoodhaaga Po'. Karthik sang an MSV excellent song 'Pottu vaitha mugamo' from Sumathi En Sundari (what a great song by SPB). He somehow failed to impress the judges on the sangathis, but he was ok. Nancy sang 'Vanthathe Vanthathe' from Kizhakku Vaasal.

Watched the video.. Gopal was good. He managed the tempo well this time, however slipped a couple of times inbetween. Finishing was handled badly in most of the lines and I was surprised when Hari, Sudha and James failed to mention it, but as usual Sharath bestowed hope on judgement. He pointed it out and also spoke about the tempo issue. Sudha said "Sangathi ellaam laddu maathiri vanthu vizhunthuchu" and Sharath responded "aana sila laddus expiry date thaandi vanthu vizhunthuchu" :lol:

Again I liked Karthik - he missed a few notes in the sangathis but as every body said he sounded very professional and pleasing with a nice voice. James was more appreciative of Karthik this time and said he sounded like a playback singer while rendering the Charanam (2nd Charanam was very good). Even if he doesnt win, I feel he will have a bright future in music compared to others.

I saw only 3 lines of Nancy's singing - it was horrible. She only tries to mimic the voice and style of the original singer. Glad she is eliminated.

சுதா ரகுநாதன் வருகை தந்த "சங்கதி" சுற்றினை பார்த்து முடித்தேன். பசங்க எல்லாரும் நல்லா பாடினாங்க. ரவி கலக்கிட்டார். தேர்வு செய்த பாடலுக்காகவே அவரைப் பாராட்டலாம். அவருக்கு அடுத்து எனக்குப் பிடித்தது நிரஞ்சன். "ஸ்ரீதேவி என்" பாடலை தேர்வு செய்ததற்காக அவரையும் பாராட்டியே ஆகணும். கோபால் பாடிய "மல்லிகையே மல்லிகையே" பாடலும், கார்த்திக் பாடிய "போட்டு வைத்த முகமோ" பாடலும் மனத்தைக் கவர்ந்தது. கார்த்திக் குரலில் பாடலுக்கான ஜீவன் தெரிந்தது. சரண்யா தேர்வு செய்தது கடினமான ஒன்று. ஓரளவிற்கு பாடினார்.

லட்சுமி வழக்கம் போல ஜீவனே இல்லாமல் பாடினார். வழக்கம் போல ஜேம்ஸ் சொம்பு தூக்கினார். "சங்கதி சுற்று" உனக்கேற்ற களமாக தோன்றுகிறதா? என அவர் ரவியை கேட்டிருந்தால் ஒரு நேர்மை இருந்திருக்கும்.

இந்த நிகழ்ச்சியில் நடுவர்கள் ஒரு விஷயத்தில் ஒற்றுமை. அது பசங்களை தோண்டி துருவி அவர்களின் முயற்சிகளை ஆராய்ச்சி செய்வது. பாவம் கோபால், கார்த்திக், ரவி, நிரஞ்சன்.

Nerd, "மல்லிகையே மல்லிகையே" பாடலை இரண்டு முறை சன் தொலைக்காட்சி சப்தஸ்வரங்களில் பாடிக் கேட்டிருக்கிறேன். ஆனால் "ஸ்ரீதேவி என்" புத்தம் புதிய முயற்சி. அருமையான தேர்வு.

ரவி விட்ட சவாலில் கார்த்திக் கலக்கிட்டார். ரவியும் நல்லா பாடினார். நிரஞ்சன் விட்ட சவாலில் சரண்யா ரொம்ப நல்லா பாடினார்.சரண்யா விட்ட சவாலில் லட்சுமி நாராசமா பாடினார். சரணம் சகிக்கல. பள்ளி மதிப்பெண்களில் சொன்னால் 50 மதிப்பெண்களுக்கு கீழே.. "கம்பசித்திரம் இல்லாத பாடல்.. கொஞ்சம் அழகா பாட முயற்சி செய்" என சரத் சொன்னது நெத்தியடி. ஆனால் 65 மதிப்பெண்கள் சுலபமாக வந்தது எதிர்பார்த்தது தான். கார்த்திக் பாடிய "ஒரு தேவதை பாடிய" பாடலுக்கு 60 மதிப்பெண்கள் கொடுத்தார்கள். முரண்பாட்டின் உச்சம்.

"மகாராஜன் உலகை ஆளலாம்" பாடலை தேர்வு செய்த நிரஞ்சனுக்கு நன்றி. இந்தப் போட்டியில் தான் மகாராஜன், ஒரு தேவதை இரண்டு பாடல்களையும் முதன் முதலாக கேட்கிறேன். பழைய பாடல் அப்படியே மனதில் பதிந்து விட்டது. புது பாடல் இருவரும் பாடி முடித்தவுடன் சுத்தமாக மறந்து விட்டது. இது தான் இரண்டிற்கும் இருக்கும் மலையளவு வித்தியாசம்.

ரவி, சரண்யா இருவருக்கும் வாய்ப்பு பிரகாசமாக இருக்கிறது.

எனக்கு கார்த்திக்கின் குரல் பிடித்திருக்கிறது. மிகவும் அரிதாக தென்படும் மிருதுவான குரல். உணர்வையும் வெளிப்படுத்தும் திறமை இருக்கிறது. இருந்தும் கார்த்திக் நடுவர்களின் பாரபட்சத்தையும் மீறி அடுத்த சுற்றுக்கு தேர்வு செய்யப்படுவது கொஞ்சம் கடினமான ஒன்றுதான்.

I didnt like the song selections too - including Maharajan. Lakshmi is unfairly favoured. Karthik's singing was much better than hers but he got less marks than Lakshmi. And it is very obvious that the decisions are already made - singing, comments, points are all just an eye wash. They will take both females to the finals - Niranjan and Gopal are in for sure. Even Saranya was not great in the Maharajan song - 90 marks ellaam remba over.. her voice was strained and when she was reaching the highnotes it didnt sound pleasant. NaanE naanA was so so..

Not much impressive so far (yet to see saturday's episode). Judges (except Sarath sir) were not upto the mark in their judgement and in their marks.
Only good thing IMHO is the 'Maharajan' song selection, which made me go back to hear Karnan songs. What an album! Hats off to Vishwanathan-Ramamoorthy sir. :notworthy: All songs are in loop, especially the 'Iravum Nilavum', Aayiram Karangal Neeti (SG, TMS, PBS, no words on this composition, only to touch their feet) and Seerkaazhi's 'Maranathai Enni'. SG voice, and the depth in the singing captured my heart all over. That too with the video (questions asked by Arjunan and Lord's answers, wow!) even more gripping. Not to forget all songs penned by Kaviyarasu Kannadasar. Great depth in composition, lyrics and singing.!

Thanks to Subashree Thanigachalam for bringing back those memories!

Best and enjoyable round so far in Hariyudan Naan (even there is no elimination).
Hariji has given a beautiful explanation for ghazal singing and art,and how it communicates to audience.
So much impressed with Ravi, Niranjan and Karthik. They picked up a lot within the short duration. Excellent, especially Ravi, great improvisation on 'Kaalaiyum Neeye' at the end.

Still lot of complaints on Ravi's singing, as if his voice is at one place and his mind is at another place, I cannot agree to this. Definitely anyone who is seeing this programme can see how Ravi is far far ahead of other contestants, but these kind of comments makes us believe he is ordinary. Strictly no appreciation at all for all his hardwork, they are thinking he is competing with Hariji, which is not the case.
But not even a single comment to Lakshmi. Hariji even compromises that since she has carnatic background and it is in her blood, so could not avoid that influence in the ghazals, which is sad, but the same comment is not true for others.
The highlight is James comments on Lakshmi's singing. He didn't even comment much on her singing, rather he was praising her personality, "Mughathile thelivu, angelic cherubic smile" ithellaam thevaiyaa. Even James comment on Sarath sir, please keep them offline.

Apart from these, the song selections 'barsan lagi sawan bundiya', 'Mein Khayal hoon', 'Yu Na thi Mujse Berukhi Pehele' were excellent.
Hariji's tips and demonstration were amazing. Especially 'Mein Khayal hoon' demonstration, and how many different ways of rendering just that word 'Phirtavum' (demo to Karthik). Wow!
And Hariji's "Yu Na thi Mujse Berukhi Pehele", what a rendering! Definitely my eyes became wet when he was singing. How beautifully he brings the mood of the song.
He is THE King of ghazhal. :notworthy:

Everyone's speech was very moving and from their speech, it is very clear that this is just not a reality show and how much pain and effort has gone into every judges and other gurus to shape them up. No show has done this kind of effort so far. Even calling them judges is not appropriate, as they have taken care of each participants like their kids, which is why I like this show and way way ahead of other reality shows.

+1. But I don't like their logic. So from here it would be either Anush or Bhargavi. But from viewer's vote if someone who gets entry, then they were saying these two will be part of top 5. That means from current top 6, three will go out? So, that will be 3 (from top 6)+ 2(one from wildcard+one from viewer's choice). If this is the case, that doesn't sound good, as we will loose three participants which who already proved their performances, compared to the twos coming from backdoor.

This program has got the poorest quality of contestants even at final stage. ennathaan arasiyal irunthaalum Vijay TV Super Singer had always tried to maintain some quality when it comes to top 5 (though they screwed it up quite a bit in SSJ 2). And the concepts for each round in this show leave a lot to be desired. entha kattathula entha concept kondu varanumnu sariyaa theriyaama - oru vivasthaiketta thanamA paNRaanga. I also have problems with the song selections. Looks like too much of interference from Subashree and Judges on selection of songs and they go with their own personal preferences rather than analysing how suitable the song would be for each contestant. It's a complete mess and a completer bore and it needs a great level of patience to sit through an hour. That's the reason why I quit watching

Gopalakrishnan and Bhargavi got eliminated at the top 20 level itself in Super Singer Season 2 and were not even given a chance to participate in the wild card. AvvaLavuthaan avanga talent. inga ennadaanna thookki vechu kondaaduraanga.

I hope either Karthik or Sharanya wins it. Ravi win panninaalum OK. But if either Lakshmi or Niranjan wins it, naan tea kudippEn.

The judging has been (except Sharreth of course) pretty poor in the last few weeks but certainly thats not the programme's USP IMO. I watch it only for the song selections and the highly entertaining judge's comments (Sharreth and James. Hari is usually very bland). Singers/judging ellaam secondary to me.

V_S

21st March 2011, 08:33 PM

Yes Plum, completely agree on your word Sharath's talent and his honesty. His certain compositions are truly outstanding. Since he was there as judge, we thought, only deserving participant would win this competition. Somehow it didn't happen, as Roshan mentioned the reason :lol:.
Sharanya is a far far better and versatile singer than Lakshmi. Inspite Lakshmi having classical background, it definitely did not help her and she has not used that background properly. If Sharanya would have won jointly first place with Ravi followed by Karthik, this show would have gone to greater heights. It seems Karthik also got eliminated before Gopal which is also not acceptable, but we will have to see how they performed.

Overall I liked the show, just because of one main reason. The participants have been trained individually right from top 20 stage till the finals which is noteworthy. So some these participants might have been eliminated in other shows at earlier rounds (no training given in other shows), but here we cannot judge their same capability just by other shows, as here the training definitely improved them a lot and I could see Karthik, Niranjan, Bhargavi, Gopal, Anush and many others have improved compared to what they performed at initial rounds, eventhough they were not up to the mark.

This mark of difference in their performances after the training, is the biggest asset and take away from this show. They are truly gifted and now they will not take singing lightly and Hariji has atleast made sure that they now got the path and direction to travel, which no other show has done so far AFAIK. Hats off to him :notworthy:

I don't know why judges didn't realize how bad their decisions were even after hearing thundering applause during and after Ravi's performance. Almost everyone stood and applauded him, which clearly tells how he performed. Still they want to share the top most award with Lakshmi inspite of her mediocre performance. Even the Lakshmi's song selection was not so complicated to sing compared to Ravi. Leave out Sharanya, even Niranjan was way way better in his last performance co pared to Lakshmi in 'Oru Naal Podhuma' and he was perfect in sangathis. But he was pushed to fourth without anything.

Also I thought it would be a better idea to include two new judges for the finals, so that a fresh ear will atleast balance this bias, or atleast they would have opted for a poll with audience (why are you inviting them, just to enjoy, but not vote their favorite?) on who's the best singer. Nothing happened. :sad: and :irked:

Thanks Nerd for 180 film trailer, looking forward to Sharath sir's all forth coming films. He is truly a gifted artist.

ஒரு வழியாக இறுதி நிகழ்ச்சியை இன்று பார்த்து முடித்தேன். நிகழ்ச்சியின் நாயகன் எனப் பார்த்தால் அது சந்தேகமில்லாமல் ரவி தான். என்ன ஒரு ஆற்றல்! அவருடன் லட்சுமி முதல் இடத்தை பகிர்ந்துகொண்டது "ஹரியுடன் நான்" தொடருக்கே இழுக்கு. நிரஞ்சன் "ஒரு நாள் போதுமா!" பாடலை ரொம்ப நல்லா பாடினார். மெட்லி சுற்றில் கார்த்திக் தேர்வு செய்த பாடல்கள் சரியில்லை. அவராக தேர்வு செய்தாரா இல்லை பாடவைக்கப் பட்டாரா எனத் தெரியவில்லை.

இந்த நிகழ்ச்சி மூலமாக நடுவர்கள் மீது வெறுப்பு வந்ததுதான் மிச்சம். வாழ்க ஹரி, ஷரித் மற்றும் ஜேம்ஸ்!

ஒரு வருடம் நடந்து முடிந்து நிகழ்ச்சி இறுதிப்போட்டி வரை வந்தாலும் ஹரிக்கு ஒரு நடுவருக்கான பக்குவம் இன்னும் வரவில்லை என்பது நிரஞ்சன் பாடிய பாடலுக்கு பொதுவாக ஓரிரு வார்த்தைகளில் கருத்து சொல்வதை விட்டுவிட்டு, "நீ எப்படி பாடின?" என ஆயிரம் மக்கள் கூடி பார்க்கும் அரங்கத்தில் பாடகரிடமே கேள்வியை வைப்பதிலிருந்தே தெரிகிறது. இறுதிப் போட்டி வரை வந்தாகிவிட்டது. இனி குறை என்ன? நிவர்த்தி என்ன? நிரஞ்சன் இடத்தில் நான் இருந்திருந்தால் "நல்லா பாடியிருக்கேன்!" என நெத்தியடி அடிச்சிருப்பேன்.
