thanks for maragatha megam song. decades achchu antha pattai kettu.
I am listening to udhayam neeyae song for the first time. i feel intha song either early morning or late night kettaal nandragha irukkum ena ninaikiren. I attended SJ's muscial programme held in Delhi last Friday. I could n't find any difference in her voice. She sang a lot of solos like oho megam vanthatho, katrae enthan geetham, machchanai paarththeengala, chinna chinna vanna kuyil, nenjinilae, naatham en jeevanae, pon meni uruguthae(with those mukkal monagal) and duets like kodiyilae, ninaivo oru paravai, poonkaatru thirumbumaa etc.

Thanks yvsm. she was amazing even in raagamalika program last year. Her voice is shaky in bottom range but at high pitch she is good as always

Pick #159

Song: nee megam aanal
Film: thaiyilla kuzhandhai
Singers: TMSoundararajan, PSuseela
Lyrics: Pulamaipithan?
Music: shankar Ganesh

Inspired?Copied? not sure and do not care but this song will always remain my favorite. I often keep humming the lines and often sing this song in pattukku pattu etc. Lyrics is the highlight of the song. A bit algorothomic but very poetic. Interludes are RDB style. PSuseela singing is just excellent. TMS tries to sound young and succeeds to an extent. The only part i dislike is the humming after the pallavi.
I think thaiyilla piLLai had Jaichitra and vijayakumar in the leader. Not very sure though.

A nice pick up ramki, one of my favourties by the duo. Nice song by SG.(ippo thaan theriyum SG endru) Recently, I was humming the tune quite often and was thinking to request you for this song. thanks once again.

"pollaadha aasai vandhu" - hearing it after probably 2 decades!!! How whacky can IR get with mridhangam and guitar punches!!! I terribly miss this IR :(
