got the Kadha thodarunnu CD and also pazhassi raaja original DVD (moser baer) from star trak ! The hariharan song in this album is perhaps the first hariharan song i liked on the very first listen. Awesome melody, so unique, so fresh, and so unheard of...hariharan sounds at home (like he does with his gazals)..
Maybe only you and me think this way. Probably Hariharan himself or the new generation audience things this is a voice from heaven. Dammit..from the days of MKT we have had amazing voices in the south indian film industry. the lack of high-quality recording in those days probably did not do justice to these voices. I am completely underwhelmed. Listen to SPB now..people say he sounds like he is getting younger..no the recording is better now.. IQuote:

Hariharan is not one of the current breed singers who make it to the top with one hit song. He is from the old school as well. He was introduced by the legendary composer Jaidev way back in 1978. And he has learnt Hindustani as well as Carnatic. And his rendition of Ghazals too, has some warmth. I dont say that his voice is suitable to a great variety of songs like SPB's voice, but he has got a good voice for certain kind of songs and the talent too. His understanding about Urdu pronunciation is amazing, something none of the current gen singers display. and some of his ghazals are so melodious that fit his voice very well. But yes, I dont like everything that he sings. I think he is more suited for soft numbers. There is a song from his "Colonial Cousins - The Way We do It", called "Dekhoon Main Jahaan". Please give it a try, to understand what I am talking about and where he really shines.
Even for IR, his renditions such as "Meetadha Oru Veenai" is amazing. The kind of depth and base he brings out in charanams is beautiful.
What's with this thing against Hariharan? Just curious...
P.S: I also have problems with his style while singing certain Thamizh songs, but as a singer he is right up there IMO
Raagas, Bala:
I have nothing against HH personally:) I have attended his ghazal concert in '90 or '91 when he came to KREC. I don't mind his ghazals. I can't seem to warm up to his thamizh pronunciation and singing. I don't want to flame anyone, but HH suits ARR's music better than IR's.
lets move on.
Kiru,

ah! i dont understand tamil. so probably thats why it works for me. :-)Quote:

Trust me, I just thought about this one when Kiru spoke abt HH's tamil. I mean, I also drew the same parallel :-)Quote:

I've started liking the mazha mEgham song more than the other two now, thanks to excellent singing by both! Just watch out for how Vijay renders the மான் மிழி when the pallavi is sung between saraNams. He has the flow of yesteryear singers! One wishes that IR used orchestration like the one for ArO pAdunnu for this song also.
ArO is good, though the vocals do not stand out that well in that (I think there's some "hear-from-far-away-effectu", but it gets on my nerves)
