    How singers were chosen for the songs

    Dear All,

    Its a wonder .. how generally singers were chosen for a particular song.... And those songs also become fabulous hits / smashing hits....
    There might be lengthy discussions between Director and the Music director and also the producer .. as to who can sing this song..
    There could also be like... pre-set combination like...
    For Shivaji / MGR / Jayashankar / Ravi Chandran / AVM Rajan - TMS TMS only
    For Savithri / Sarojadevi / Jaya / Vani Shreee etc etc... Mostly PS only...

    but I wonder how they finalise the singer.

    There could be numerous exchange of thoughts before a singer is finalised.

    CAN WE EXPECT FROM SENIOR HUBBERS AS TO HOW SINGERS WERE CHOSEN AND HOW SUCH SONGS BECAME GLORIOUS HITS AND TIME IMMEMORIAL ONES.

    Looking forward

    HI Balaji !

    by Jaya do u mean JJ ?
    then its not only PS.. even LRE has sung many hit songs for her. In some films like Kumari kottam and Kumari peN (except one song thenirukkum malarinilE) all songs are for LRE. In "nAN" also "vandhal ennodu" and "ammanO samiyO" are by LRE !

    Yes Madhu... For JJ even at times LRE's voice suited well...

    but one particular song of PS -- in Major chandrakanth.. Oru naal yaaro... will precisely fit in with JJ...

    Also.. in Venira aadai.... yenna yenna vaarthaigalo....

    Probably is our own imagination which gets registered in our minds and it goes on... Its a wonder only...

    All of you have seen "Chittukuruvikkenna kattuppaadu" from Savaley Samaali. It seems PS voice very suit for JJ. Same like that "Aadai muzhuthum nanaiya, nanaiya mazhai adikkuthadi" from Nam Naadu.

    Do you know which is not suit for JJ..??. In Oli vilakku, "Naanga pudhusaa kattikitta jodithaanunga" by PS. It is a LRE type song and she must have given chance.

    Another suit of PS voice is, K.R.Vijaya (all songs are very suit):

    For example: "Vilakketri vaikkiren... vidiya vidiya yeriyattum" from Soodhaattam.

    Sharadhajii,

    For Chittukurivikenna song... I think PS got national award ??

    It was one of those perfectly matched songs.... for JJ.

    Also in Deiva magan.... Kootathilay yaar dhan kodhuvaithavaro.....

    The entire Vennira aaadai songs... especially ammamaa kaatru vandhu aadai thotuu paadum.. ( probably the first movie of JJ and it got registered with the depth of PS with JJ ?? )

    In aayirathil oruvan..... Yaarai thaan nambuvadho bethai nenjam.... 100 % match for JJ ??

    yaaraithan nambuvadho is for saroja devi in paRakkum paavai.

    Oh my God !!

    yes yes... I was imagining about aadaamal aadugiren song... JJ in the dais.... and wrote this song.

    Probably age is catching up with me.. !!

    By the way.. Yaaraithaan nambuvadho was a mismatch for Sarojadevi...PS combination.. I feel..

    The best of PS - Sarojadevi ... probably..

    Aadiperukku songs.... Kaveri odam... kavi sonna paadal..

    Also... Kalyanaparisu...

    Also Unnai Ondru ketpen.... ( Ushaji and Sharadhajee are going to pounce on me about mentioning this song !! as this is their favourite song

    Let us take the movie… Ninaithaalay inikkum….

    For Barathi Kannammaaa ( my all time favourite song ) --- SPB with VJ

    Yaadhum Uray….. SPB with PS

    Anandha Thaandavamo….. LRE

    Eniya ulagam….. LRE

    While SPB remained in tact for Kamal………….

    I wonder how MSV chose different singers for a single heroene…. Jayapradha….

    Can Sharadhajiii share how the singers were chosen …..

    Dear Balaji....

    Except few, all others not give much importance for voice matching. Not only in Ninaithaaley Inikkum, but many movies.

    For example: In the movie 'Johny', IR has used S.Janaki, Jency, Suthaja.... all sung for one Sreedevi. (Shailaja's song is not for Sreedevi).

    In Kamal, Rajini movies also, one song will be by SPB, next one by Jesudoss and another one by Malaysia Vasudevan.

    In present days also, MDs are using Hariharan, Unnikrishnan, Tippu, Harish Ragavendra, Shanker Mahadevan.. all for one hero.

    There was a period they fixed TMS for Shivaji, MGR, Jai, Ravi and PBS for Gemini, Muthuraman...etc.

    But it was broken by MGR in 'Adimai penn' by Aayiram Nilave Vaa.

    In Ulagam Sutrum Vaaliban, he used TMS, SPB, Yesudoss all for MGR.

    Dear Saradhaji,

    You are right… But was it MD’s choice or Producer’s choice or Director’s choice….

    I wish to know who finalises the singer ??


    I have also seen Malaysia quite frequently used for Rajini once....

    Again, IR tried a big experiment to bring in Malaysia for Shivaji.... in Vellai roja....... but at that time , TMS was over the hill.
