sangeetha maha yuddham

It is a programme that has caught my attention recently. I watch it in all 4 languages. I guess these must be franchises of Sangeet ka maha yudh in Hindi which I think Shankar Mahadevan eventually won with his team.
What I think makes this concept work is that you have one established singer in each team captaining which sort of ensures basic quality.(although, captains like Anupama and some of the telugu captains leave a lot to be desired).

Interestingly, Kerala, in my view, the hotbed of musical talent in south india, has fallen behind.
The tamil version seems to be the best, followed by Telugu. Malayalam and Kannada seem to alternate between abysmal and mediocre.

One additional reason for my patronage - almost in all 4 languages, the captains seem to revel in choosing Raja songs. It is a good tool for re-living Raja's dominance across all 4 languages. While he was but a footnote in kannada and MFM in reality compared to their giants, you just need to see the proportion of Raja songs in these programmes in these languages to believe it.

Finally, something taht interests me from the Solar family!

And one final note, this guy Krishnamurthy, seems to be an awesome talent. Did he win Vijay Super singer earlier? Is he the same guy?

Oh.. This is a multi-language programme, huh? No wonder Chinmayee's lip sync was too bad...

Ajay, it is a different programme in each language. The host is different in each language.

Yes

I like this programme, becs the contestants sing a lot of 60s songs, including medleys. :clap:

This is my 2nd fav show after Raaga Maaliga

Plum,

On sat, her lip sync during the introduction of teams was too bad.. So i thought they used other language clip with a dubbed voice..

Ajay,
You not for mistake. Tamil peraye Urdu style la dhaan solluvaanga, so non-synch aagaradhu vasthavam dhaan :razz:

Oh! Not sure why - it is def.ly not because of same clip for all languages.
Although I hear cinmayee can actually speak many languages

Have only seen the intro episode as i dont get to see Sun TV often. In that episode Chinmayi's costume and body language looked kandraavi to the core. And singers like Srilekha, Mathangi, Anupama usually put me off. Athuleye paathi interest poyidichu. Heard Krishnamoorthy is doing well. Should try to catch up atleast for Vignesh and him.

Hey, Nov !! Me too... After Raaga Maaliga, and prior to that, Sabtha Swarangal...

Krishnamoorthy seems to be everyone's fav... What a talent !!!!

I was rooting for Vijay's team, before they were booted out..
Now, I am all for Madhu's team.. :roll:

Yes, a lot about it is a put off. Including garish sets and costumes and chinmayi herself sometimes. Nevertheless, all 4 language versions get telecast almost simultaneously so I have the advantage of picking the best parts of all 4 through the duration. I skip the pathetic parts - like, for instance, when anupama is singing. I can always tune to some of the better telugu or mallu ones giving me ve vela gopemmala or konji karayalle which is being telecast simultaneously :). Sometimes, this is a disadvantage as I have to choose between vedam anuvanuvuna naadham, poomaalai vaangi vandhaan, thumbi vaa and jotheyalli.

In tamil, Madhu balakrishnan is outstanding. Devan is good. Both of these were revealations to me.
But ofcourse krishnamurthy is the single most compelling reason. In one episode devan as a judge said "nanngaLlam edhukku inge ukkaarndhu judge pannikitturukkomnu theriyala.". Krishamurthy is that good.

A couple of other participants are also good.
So, yes, despite solar system, you can enjoy the programme.

How nice!
And you like poo pookkum tharunam too... :2thumbsup:

Next week it is going to be the finals between Madhu Balakrishnan's team and Srilekha's team (I think)

In y'day's semi finals, Devan's team was pathetic. Could have won easily. i could not stand the third round so switched off.

Madhu is doing a good job. Srilekha has the advantage of sai saran and vignesh. so surviving.

i was looking forward to see Chinmayi anchoring. Now she is irritating with her dresses, and shoutings. She has no dress sense at all.

Her anchoring pala samayathil contestants and judgesai merattara madhiri irukku.

Though Devan has brilliant voice, it irritates me when he tries to sing like IR by changing his voice!

I miss seing Vijay Jesudoss on one of the judges' seats!

Madhu Balakrishnan's team is very strong, since he's got his amazing voice as the back bone for his team!

Chinmayi is a beautiful and attractive girl, she's got a very pleasant smile on her face. She dresses very appropriate and she has a very bold voice to host this show. Her Indian outfits are dashing, especially the half saree and sarees which suit her personality. இது இருந்தா அது இல்லை, அது இருந்தா இது இல்லை என்கிற நினைப்புக்கு இடம் இல்லாத வகையில்...she has a stunning voice. She is a whole package. I'll always be her fan to praise her talents. God bless you Chinmayi!

intha show ivvalavu seekiramA mudiyumnu ehirpAkkala. Saw it last week - Srilekha's team did well against Devan's team. It is clear that none of the other PB singers in the show is equal to Madhu B but except Madhu others were not at all impressive in his team. Srilekha's team has got a good combination. Vignesh looked quite disinterested and detached. Ennaanu thereiyala. Krishnamoorthy pathti nereya kELvi pattEn but looks like his team is out already.

Regarding Chinmayi - edha vEnaalum othukkuvEn but Chinmayi oda dressing sense, make up sense, pathti pEsunaa kaduppaaiyduvEn naan :x She badly needs some training on that. Sagikkala.

I watch this show very rarely and always have this doubt. Why do we see so many people *standing* and cheering the singers in front of the dais?? :shock:

Sorry Priya, I have to accept with Roshan.....

Apart from that, Chinmayi is tooooooooooooo much 'alatting' which is unable to tollerate.

Sun Group=la, pazhakka dOsham.

I am surprised they haven't had a Sun Group Songs theme for the medley yet. Maybe for the finals :lol:

Finals vekkama...best of SMY nu 2 naala kadupetharanga.

Madhu's team : Strong leader - somewhat weak team.

Srilekha's team : Strong team somewhat weak leader.

Chinmayi - Nalla sangeethakaari. But too much authoritative, and kathal.

Hope she wears a South Indian outfit and changes her tone a bit in the finals atleast ! Parka nalla irukkum. IMHO !

South Indian, North Indian or even western doesnt matter as long as it suits a person and worn with some sort of proper dressing sense. Chinmayi lacks that - so anything she wears would look funny and most of the time horrible. I have seen her in a head to toe covered dress in star plus - and that too was looking bad on her. Her accessories and make up are also done with poor taste.

Finals nadandhadha ?

What happened to this program ?

Yeah may be the telecast but the shoot is over and heard from Vignesh (one of the contestants) that Madhu's team won.

Thanks for the info Roshan and Hari

Saw the finals y/day. Good show with good music.

The first round was captain's special with songs from Madhu and Srilekha. Missed the first two songs.

In the third round, Madhu sang Thakita thadhimi very well and Srilekha sang Unnai kaanadha kannum kannalla. Vani Jayaram pointed out that the landing notes were different from original and the singers are supposed to sing like the original.

Madhu had a clear leading in this round.

Next was individual performance by the team members.
And finally Maha sanghamam, the medley round by the teams.

Srilekha's team sang all old hits in the same rhythm which was a bit boring after some time and it was toooooooo lengthy with toooooooo many songs.

Madhu had a mix of all type of songs devotional, melody, kuthu, dance, and was enjoyable though long.

Finally Madhu's tam won with a good margin.
End of season1.

Amul's GM gave away the medals and said would like to replicate the program.

So we can look forward to more seasons.

Sangeetha maha yutham 2 is even better. There is a lot more competition. Grace's team are amazing singers especially 6evin. She won 2day's match against Naveen's team. I can't wait until next week's match.

I loved the way Grace sang Azhagaana ponnu naan, which even led to a "once more." :D

I didnot enjoy Naveen's comment on Grace...

'ப....கள்தான் கூட்டமா வரும், சிங்கம் சிங்கிளாத்தான் வரும்'

eventhough they are jovial, this is too much.

But in the end he lost the show to Grace team.

நன்றி: தினமணி

This set of captains is inferior to last time's. Madhu, Vijay et al were ounce for ounce better.
Srilekha>> Grace Kellys Purasaiwalkam

And the last set was far more amiable, polished and mature as compared to koyandhathanamAna altercations among the new set.
I am water-spraying this show now.

I think only Rahul N is worth something in this bunch. Ranjith is OK too. Others are extremely annoying. Though not a regular watcher of this show, #2 is not a patch on #1.

Hail Hariyudan naan :thumbsup:
