genesis,
'thenRal vandhu ennaiththodum, AhA saththam inRi muththam idum' is in my all-time-great-list :-)
BTW, I used Kovai & Saree only in the same sentence :wink: That "kanji-pOtta-cotton-saree" (organdy) was typically associated with Kovai in 80's:-)
Thinking about the IR-KJY-SJ combo, I don't think there is any song I can dislike :-)
Ofcourse, there aren't as many as SPB-SJ-IR combo songs but every one that I can remember is a personal fav!
Same for me on most cases with only one exception. On the way back to home yesterday evening, I was listening to "kaattukkuyilu manasukkuLLa" in a loop. I wish SPB-MV would have been a lovely pair. SPB is simply in a way beyond our imagination and KJY is not meeting the expectations. IMO, ennamaa kannu > kattukkuyilu manasukkuLLa (just because of KJY). I am not sure KJY sang in that mode just because of Mammootty's body language. But still, his tone is very flat and kills the mood of the song!Quote:

"Kaalai Thendral" head and shoulders above "Enge En Jeevane", in spite of Teacher Amma P.Suseela (sorry App, Chitra-kaaga neenga panna coinage use pannikitten. Teacher amma is the image that i've always had of P.S - voice enakku set aagaadhu)
I am not saying I dislike TET songs, but they are just boring... there is nothing special.Quote:

//hero hero hero by kjy from Ajeya (kannada). Ample firepower.//
Clarification - I didn't mean all IR songs that had KJY, only the KJY-SJ duets under IR :-)
Well, even if we take the broad list of any KJY song under IR, there will not be many that one can absolutely dislike :wink: Interestingly, most of them were liked by the general public as well and went on to become hits. There must be some "mandhiram" in gAna gandharvan's voice!
rajesh, though that wasn't a question to me, let me chip in because I too have a similar view on PS. To me, her voice sounds really good in the older songs (thamizhkkum amudhendru pEru and all other classics). AdhennamO therila, she started sounding quite aged in many songs during the golden IR period, the initial few late 70 years notwithstanding. Some kinda thickness crept in during this time and it was downhill then on, and sadly she wasn't getting younger with years. Within the 80s time frame, I'd choose Jaanu's shrillness over PS's nasal paattimma-ness anyday.
KV,
Last evening, I had 'pAda vandhadhO gAnam, pAvai kaNNilO nANam' at high volume in the car!
One of the very best in her career, IMHO, and it happened in the 80's :-)
Even though SJ is my all-time-#1-fav, I don't think she could have done justice to this song like PS!
