Come on! We have come across and digested well the diction of Latha, Asha! இதுவும் கடந்து போகும்! பழக பழக சரியாயிடும். தமிழின் பல்வேறு வட்டார மொழி வடிவங்களின் ஒலிகளில் ஒன்றாக நெனச்சிகிட்டு போக வேண்டியதுதான்.

venkki sir,
Ippidi compromise panni panni thaan ippo namma music, especially singing enga vanthu nikkuthu paarunga. If it was not that glaring enough, atleast we can ignore as you say, but if it is right on the face, I can only ignore the song. That too if the first word (in an ever beautiful composition) is itself wrong, that too replacing a beautiful word ஒளி with ஒழி, and another beautiful word like விளக்கானேன் spelled as விழக்கானேன், then definitely I cannot take it more. These are just few examples, many more spoiler like that definitely kills the song. The most surprising thing about Shela Binde is she gets the most difficult word 'ழ' right, but every time at the wrong place.
Heard from some folks that the Raja duet is supposed to be very good. Let us wait and see what Bela does. Anyway, the tracklist is in keeping in touch with the pheelings of the 'youth', who want new voices and bad pronunciation :D As venki says, we have to get used to it.
Fully agree with you V_S Sir. But at the same time, please don't blame only the singers for their diction murder. The sanctioning authorities ( Music Director and Director of the movie) takes 50% of the blame. Blame the song making process which allows that issues come out from recording theater. When IR saying he asked a whole choir team to vacate due to their bad performance in London and had a replacement, why not firing a singer for poor diction? This always baffles me.
V_S,
That song is just too much. Poor girls goes la for zha and zha for la and total konfees only. For that song atleast I would say Raja has to take some part of the blame. Or atleast knowing what the lyrics were, he should have given it to someone like Reeta. My personal feeling is that Raja uses Bela more as Shreya's replacement. That is what Aakarsh was also saying on twitter.
Anyway, the list looks promising. And inspite of the fact that I may be lynched, let me confess that I had no problems at all with Yuvan in 'Saindhu Saindhu'. Maybe I am 'still a young yaar' in my heart :lol:

Suresh - yes I also felt that Poor Man's Shreya thingy with Bela Shinde. Voice is not bad actually. Current generationla

Manjari (She is very, very, very good - aced kAiyetha kombathu on all aspects and quite a few malayalam songs including Oru CHiri Kandal highlighted by V_S in the other thread. Liked her naan thedum in Raja concert too)
Mahathi, Bela Shinde etc
Mahathi making debut with Enna maRandhAlum was very promising but seems to have lost her way after making it to the Jayaraj stable with aiyayyo pudichirukku.
(Althiough to be fair, buvvAvukku Jayaraj stable is a good place comparitively to be)
I think we should blame on IR too for not watching these mistakes. As said by IR, Once kamal sung பன்னீர் புஷ்பங்ஙளே instead of பன்னீர் புஷ்பங்களே and later only IR discovered. Empa asistundugala neengalavathu (neengathaan) paarkkanum idhellamm. See how Shreya Ghoshal is singing with good pronountiation, that is called dedication
Yes, poor man's Shreya. I initially thought Mann Mohana (Jodha Akbazh) was by Shreya.
Plum
Yes, Manjari is good. Mahathi-ya? Didn't expect this from you. Big Swamigal fan though
(Kis Kis micro thundu dhaan. Munna, Mahath SPBC link up play)
Didn't like Rita initially. Not great on the 2005 and recent concerts also. Some redemption in mayilu though
Poo Sirikkudhu is by Rita only. She is not that bad on the diction side except for the booze bit :smile:. Loved her Thukkamenna Thuyaramenna from Mayilu and I think she emotes quite well. Even in the recent IR concert, she sang Ithu Oru Nila Kaalam pretty well but one cannot get over the murder of Edho Mogam by her in the same concert.
Bela Shinde has sung some really lovely numbers for IR. Her upcoming number in NEPV should be good, no doubt.

Be content!
Hmmm. Sunidhi Chauhan looks promising. She was good in both 'Hichki Hichki' and 'chinna polike' (Om Shanthi).
Aravind: And no Tippu either :)
rajkumar: 'Unnai Patri' was by Rita. She emoted quite well in 'kathirunden kathirunden' in 'Sengaathu Bhoomiyile'. Bela had some superb songs in the Kannada film, 'Nannavanu'. With SPB she sang 'mudhalane baari' and with Sriram Parthasarathy she sang 'yenidhu'. Both superb numbers. She also had a nice duet with Raja in that movie.

Already registered my objection (a couple of days back) for the mAmu word in the NEPV thread in TF section.
Once again calling it 'soththak kadalai' here also :mad:
Gautham tweets - Tamil audio on September 1. Telugu on September 2.
One song on air on FMs on 29th.
Avasarappattu ticket edukkavENdaam. He himself once tweeted that Audio first week of July, may be even 1st of July :lol2:
No, I am very confident that it will release this time on the said date :-)
Any guesses on the first song to be aired? Saainthu, of course.
For those who can drop in to Express Avenue Mall, Chennai, this Friday evening

Hubbers in US, Any of you interested in getting NEP CDs? Though you may listen thru Raaga.com(don't know if they will upload as soon as Sep 1st), there are some fans in facebook Raja group, willing to get CDs, even though they may listen online, becos this is a special album.
I am asking this on behalf of Kameshratnam. He is going to send some 200 Discs to US. But he needs to divide them areawise (NY, Tx, SF) and and send accordingly.
anegan, tomorrow, Kamesh will send a link to enter ur details(privacy will be maintained) and based on the inputs from fans in hub, facebook, twitter, yahoo group, he will do the needful. keep watching this thread :)
Hi SKR:
I am interested in multiple CDs also. I live in NJ (south jersey closer to Philadelphia)
Aravind,
I think even with iTunes, we cannot guarantee they will release all round the world. As you might know, there are separate links in iTunes for each country and you will not be allowed to purchase across country, unless they release it separately.
http://www.apple.com/in/itunes/ (india)
http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/ (uk)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ (usa) and so on.
May be Kamesh was mentioning about iTunes India. I may be wrong too.
VS - I think they will for sure release in iTunes USA. I have downloaded various new albums of IR from iTunes - Azhagarsaamiyin Kudhirai, Sengathu Boomiyile, Thandavakone, Ponnar Shankar etc. Given the popularity of NEPV and marketing by Sony etc, I would be really shocked if they don't release it on iTunes the same day as the audio cd release.
If they are releasing in US, there can't be any happy news than this. :D I remember Agi music released Thandavakone and Sengaathu Bhoomiyile in iTunes US too. Ponnar shankar was not by Agi. Not sure about ASK, as I got CD from India. As I said, there were very few music released in iTunes US (at the time of launch). May be just the above two only. That's why I am doubtful. If it happens, gifted we are. In any case, I would go for audio CD.:smile:
Ok, in case of shipping bulk CDs to USA, say some 200 CDs, what is the suggested process? I mean, how to split? Splitting it into 3, NY, CHicago & SF would be apt right? Then ppl who get it can ship to nearer places. Or else, what process to follow? Give suggestions!
That's a good idea sakala. That will save the shipping cost from India, not sure about other shipping formalities for bulk CDs.
