சாய் விக்னேஷ் பாடும் எல்லா பாடல்களும் கேட்க சுவையா இருக்கு. அதுவும் ராஜா இசையில் வந்த மெலடிகள் காற்றில் நறுமணம் கலந்தாற்போல ஒரு அனுபவம். நல்ல குரல்வளம். தோகை இளமயில்.. இதை அடிக்கடி சமீபகாலங்களில் கேட்டு மகிழ்கிறேன். விழிகள் மீனோ இதுவரை சூப்பர் சிங்கர் அத்தியாயங்களில் யாருமே பாடிக் கேட்டதில்லை. அருமையான தேர்வு. ரொம்ப ரசித்து பாடுகிறார் சாய் விக்னேஷ்.

on the final day of Kavignar Vaaram, Parvathi sings the sad version of then kizhakku seemaiyile
She sounds really good and gets good comments from Vairamuthu.

Madhumita sings mudhal murai killi paarthen ... lots of heavy breathing. She needs to lose weight . :p

Sai Vignesh sings enna solla pOgirai, difficultly.

Vairamuthu presents each singer with Rs10,000.

Soundarya

This week Thiru Vairamuthu did excellent to Super Singer competition.

After every contestant finished their song (of vairamuthu), before anchor asked him, Vairamuthu himself started to tell his 'malarum ninaivugal' about each and every song.

He appreciated all competitors with open heart and encouraged them.

He assured parvathi that, soon she will get an invitation to sing a new song in a movie. (menas he may recommend her to any music directors).

When Gopinath asked about the dispute between him and Ilaiyaraja, he answered in a matured and majestic level, without hurting anyone.

Vairamuthu also sang the unrecorded version of 'ponmaalai pozhudhu', and a song composed by singer Srinivas for a new movie, sang by Sujatha's daughter Swetha.

Finally he announced that, he presents for all Top-10 contestants, each Rs.10,000/- of total 1 lakh from his own money.

Hats off Vairamuthu sir.

I thought Arvind may be eleminated, because he did not sing 'enge nimmadhi' in kannadasan round well. Lyrics also thappum thavarumaaga, but managed in Vairamuthu round.

But unfortunately Soundarya got eleminated.

Nowadays elemination is a painful one, because all are good singers. But what to do?. three bedroom apartment is for only one participant, and infact 1 kg gold for the runner-up.

I had also hoped that Enge Nimmadhi was bad enough to get him eliminated, but NOT!!! I hope Srini doesn't promote him so hard that he ends up winning...God!!!

:rotfl: at your take on Arvind. One of the worst seasons in ASS where only few are talented among the top 10. Such poor state of selection, judgement. Anyway it's fun to watch those judges acting than singers.

I hope you are being sarcastic there, NOV. I have watched one Thyagu, a semi pro singer going around with a small TFM performing group, sing AND enact Enge Nimmadhi simultaneously on stage (and it's an auditorium with poor sound facility) and he nailed it. He may not be on Arvind's generation but he is not very old either. Somehow these talent shows rarely manage to attract the really good singers and highlight them for the public? Is there something wrong with their 'filtration' process?

Venki, irukkaradha vechu thaan edai poda mudiyum. I agree that this year's singers are quite ordinary. No Alka Ajith kind of contestants.
The best performance so far was neeye unakku endrum nigaraanavan.

Crimson, you have your answer in your question. Current generation of singers are not challenged enough.

Exactly. Good point also about the current generation not feeling challenged, might well be the reason. I felt a "We have arrived" smugness about most of these contestants this year except Sonia who seems to be more humble and generally does a tidier, professional job even if she is only occasionally sensational. I have given it time but this last week has convinced me that most of them don't think seriously enough, objectively enough about their singing. Which is strange because they must have made enormous sacrifices to spend time in the show singing when they might be able to further their professional career, if they have one that is.

crimson, I have been made to understand that most of the current contestants have already won several competitions in other states and many are in fact performing in stage shows.


Now, here is the best performance of this season:

Which might explain what I observed as a lack of learning over the period of time from the auditions to the top 10. That might make them think they don't really need to improve too much; they have just been waiting for this competition to project their talent - that kind of mindset. Arvind still has problems enunciating consonants. Niranjana had too, until she got eliminated. Sharad Santosh is 'good' but still hasn't figured how to project more volume. He is still not singing with his natural voice and that is a general problem that most of them seem to have. Even Parvathy who has participated in Super Singer Junior (I think?) made a very strange mistake on Unnai Ondru Kettpen..I don't expect a pro to make such a miscalculation on stage, they usually know how to cover for any weaknesses or issues with the voice on the particular day. Only Sonia has the polish expected at top 10 level and she only fleetingly produces the wow factor that say Sathya Prakash generates all the time, even when he comes over as a guest on this same show. But I am truly sorry that yesterday I included Diwakar in that group; I can do nothing but salute his efforts in getting thus far and hopefully much further in the competition given his circumstances.

haha.... Diwakar is celebrated because of his background, Arvind because of his good heart and Syed because of his good looks. All three are finalists by the way.
no one is being judged on how they sing. :roll:

btw, I like Krishnan because he mostly sings old songs ;) (but he will be eliminated in the coming weeks)

Crimson, the contestants are suffering from fatigue and over use. I dont understand why the show has to be daily. Looks like the contestants have no time for anything else. :sigh2:

I empathize with that partly but not entirely. Professional singers do need to sing every day so the finalists have got to be able to do it and in fact thrive in it. I like Krishnan somewhat too but he's kind of sleepy, lacks energy and that will be the reason he has to go eventually. I think Syed is going to get up pretty high by carefully avoiding overly melodic songs and only projecting his strengths. I appreciate Arvind's big heart and I wish he would show a similar big heart in being faithful to Kannadaasan's lyrics.

Not any more crimson. Name me one singer who sings every day, today. Forget 365 songs a year. How about 30 songs a year?
Those golden days are no more. Now anyone and everyone can become a singer...

Since you like Krishnan, here is his fantastic performance in a Kerala show. (don't worry, its a Tamil song :) )

That is a fundamental problem then, which goes back to what you said earlier about current gen. The voice is an instrument in its own right and should be trained to withstand whatever you subject it to. I am sure this is what the 'golden' greats must have done because even now when they come to these shows as guests, they sing well in spite of their age.

And good performance there from Krishnan, thanks for sharing.

வைரமுத்து அத்தியாத்தில் கிருஷ்ணன் பாடிய "என்னச் சத்தம் இந்த நேரம்" நன்றாக இருந்தது. ரொம்ப அனுபவித்து பாடுகிறார். அதிலும் ஒரு நேர்மை இருக்கிறது.

சோனியாவிடத்தில் நான் காணும் ஒரே குறை என்னவென்றால்.. அவர் பாடும்போது ஒரு அமைதியே தென்படாது. அடிமனதில் ஒருவித வேகத்துடனே பாடுவதுபோல இருக்கும். இது திரைப்பாடல்களில் மனோ பாடுவதை ஒத்தது.

சாய் விக்னேஷ் பாடிய "சந்தனத் தென்றலை" சிறப்பாக இருந்தது பல இடங்களில். ஒரே ஒரு இடத்தில் குரல் ஒத்துழைக்கவில்லை. இருந்தாலும் பரவாயில்லை.

Aravind Srinivas has already recorded two songs for the film Meyyazhagi :happydance: :cheer:

What a pity. That special violinist told this song was well sung by Trichy Loganathan. (Even a child knows it was by T.R.Mahalingam).

My God, pesaamal engalai special guestaaga podungappaa. thappu thavaru illamalaavadhu past history solvom.

Today's show begins with a stunning performance by Diwakar, Parvathi and Krishnan. Sheer entertainment!

Parvathi sings paattu solli from Azhagi

again true... total waste.

My ranking for two days:

1. Sai
2. Diwakar
3. Krishnan
4. Parvati
5. Sharath
6. Sonia

திவாகர் குரலில் "காதல் கசக்குதய்யா" பாடல் அருமை. சாய் விக்னேஷின் "சிந்தனை செய் மனமே!" தேனாமிருதம். சாய் மீதான ஸ்ரீனிவாஸின் தொடரும் "அப்பத்தான் you can be super singer" விமர்சனம் சகிக்கல. அப்புறம் எதுக்குப்பா அந்தப் பொடிப்பயலை இன்னும் வச்சிருக்கிங்க.

சுத்தம்! இதுவரை Danger Zone-ல் சாய் வந்ததாக தெரியவே இல்லையே. ஸ்ரீனியின் லீலைகளில் இதுவும் ஒன்று. சரி சரி.. இந்த வாரம்தான் இந்தியாவின் நீதி தேவதையே பல்லிளித்தது. அந்த சுனாமியில் சாயும் அடித்துச் செல்லப் பட்டிருக்கிறான். நல்லாயிரு தம்பி. இனி வைல்டு கார்டுக்கு ஒரு வேலை கூப்பிட்டா காறி உமிழ்ந்து விட்டு அடுத்த வேலையை பார்க்கப் போய்டு.
