"Saaindhu saaindhu", charanam, singing is atypical of IR. The feel, chords, the pace, the whole freakin mood is radical for the entire industry. I've never heard anything like this before. Indha madhiri oru 'close' louu song remba pudhusu, unusual. Penn-a maari compose panna madhiri irukku Of course, the male psyche will repel against mushy stuff, but idhu oru surreal feel kudukkudhu. After the charanam, when the pallavi starts, and the chords (low notes, slow)

And here is the thing, for all the Yuvan-bashing i(we) did - i still haven't listened to the Telugu version (only opening 2-3 lines) but from whatever LITTLE i listened to, it's a different song in Telugu. The mood didn't feel quite right [Oru nerdy geeky thayir saadham ushaaring a model figure effect]
Something Equa also posted in twitter. Shaan 'correct'-a paadraar but then that becomes a different song. Or i should have listened to the Telugu version first. If only Yuvan had got the basics right....

Welcome to the saindhu-dhaan-top-pick club! (I'm assuming you are indeed signing up with this post!)
Yes, Shaan, though he hits the notes better, does lose out to yuvan on the 'feel' aspect; the latter's lazy singing suits the song quite well (only to be screwed up here and there by his technically abachaaram range skills).
