It has been a while since I last updated my karaoke blog. Work pressure plus my busy schedule with our band Jersey Rhythms has really kept me away from this passionate exercise. Well now that I am back, lets talk music.
Past weekend saw some awesome carnatic music performances by TM Krishna & KJ Jesudas in New Jersey under the auspices of SIMHANA. That said, we at Jersey Rhythms have been busy at work performing for ASHA for Education a philanthropic organization focused in educating the poor and down trodden in India. Additionally, we have been rehearsing for our upcoming show in Atlanta for Georgia Tamil Sangam. Given all of the above, I still wanted to do this karaoke blog for 2 reasons: 1. Obviously it has been a while and long overdue. 2. My nephew insisted that I do this song.
This song is from the movie Nandha, starring Surya and Laila. Music was by Yuvan Shankar Raja and as you'd expect he has scored some awesome songs in this movie. This song in particular sung by SP Balasubramanian touches high notes / chords and to some extent proved to be a challenge. As always, I have tried to give it a shot and hope you like it. Enough said, now enjoy this melody penned by Pazhani Bharathi.

Santhanamum Jevathum
Happy New Year! to everyone. I wish you all a Happy, Prosperous and Healthy 2011.
I wanted to start my 2011 blogs with a happy number and narrowed my choice to this peppy number from the movie Valli. Apparently, this movie was produced by Rajnikanth and ended being a moderate success. Music & background score was by none other than Illayaraja. This particular song sung by SP Balasubramanian & SN Surendar was really awesome 1. From the perspective of its presentation 2. Foot tapping rhythm 3. Its casualness.
As a topping to an ice cream, I had the privilege of singing this song with my nephews and my daughter who lent their voice in finishing this song. While I would agree we could have done this better, I need to confess that we completed this song from scratch in less than 1 hour with almost all of the singers except myself not knowing this song. Given the above, I wanted to congratulate these youngsters volunteering to experiment.
As always listen, enjoy & please leave your constructive criticism .

Vasamilla Malaridhu
Well, it has been a long break since I last posted. As some of you might know situation at my end didn't allow me to indulge in things that are close to my heart like karaoke blogging. That said, I need to announce in this forum my formal re-entry into stage singing, thanks to Jersey Rhythms now I am part of this awesome band. Based out of New Jersey, USA we perform to a wide variety of Indian audience in different South Indian languages as well as Hindi. When you have sometime, please visit www.jerseyrhythms.com for more info about this excellent band (not just because I am a part of it now :-)).
I had to re-start my karaoke blogging and when I was looking around for some good tracks, I stumbled upon this song from an old movie Oru Thalai Ragam. This movie brought to lime light T. Rajendar as a film & music director and this movie in a way was a stepping stone for many other successful films from him.
This particular song sung by SP Balasubramanian is a very simple number with not much to it. It use to be at the top of the charts during its time and was a definite radio jockey's favorite.
I am sure this song will bring back memories to some of you. Enjoy, get nostalgic and drop in your comments.

Mandram Vantha Thendral
Well, it has been a while since I last blogged. Hectic work schedule didn't permit me to indulge in things that are close to my heart. That said, this next song is from the film Mouna Raagam. This wonderful song was sung by SPB for Illayaraja's music and lyrics owned by Kavingar Valli.
As I had mentioned in one of my earlier blogs (wherein I sang another song from this same film), this movie was filled with super hit songs and to some extent Illayaraja shares the success of this Maniratham's movie.
While my initial plan was to do some other song this week, I ended up doing this one (not that I regret); my nephew who is a die-hard fan of Raja made a special request to do this one.
I think I did some justice to this wonderful SP Balasubramanian's song (though added my creativity in some places), and I hope you enjoy listening.
As always, please leave your comments

Ena Satham Inda Neram
This next Illayaraja's classic is from the film Punnagai Mannan; a song sung by SP Balasubramanian for onscreen action by Kamalahasan & Rekha.
All the songs from this movie ended up being hit, especially this one was at the top of the charts for a long time. Kamal played dual role in this K.Balachandar's movie which sure raked in lots of $$$.
I am a great Raja's fan and intend to do many more of his songs, I like this song and think you all like it as well while bringing back memories from the 80's.
I think I have made a decent attempt at making this karaoke with my own imaginations in few places with the hope you'd appreciate it. As always, listen, enjoy and kindly leave your comments.

Unga Ponana Kaigal
My next song is another PB Srinivas's rendition from the film Kadhalika Neeram Illai. What a movie it was! simply superb. It's such a riot that I cannot stop laughing even after seeing this movie innumerable times, a thorough entertainer.
Performance by Muthuraman, Nagesh, Balaiah, Rajashri were amazing. Acting by relatively newcomers like Sachu, Ravichandran & Kanchana were also commendable. Infact, during most of the scenes where Sachu is paired with Nagesh, it was obvious that she had a tough time controlling her laughter, such was Nagesh's hilarious acting.
This song in the screen is performed by Ravichandran when he tries to win his heroine's heart. Originally sung by PBS with his silky smooth voice, MS Viswanathan scored the music for this wonderful Kannadasan lyrics.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get a good karaoke track and had to put up with one that had a lot of popping sound and was jumping around. Still, I was compelled to do this song with whatever I had and hope you like it.
As always, feel free to comment.

Tum Se Hi
Today has not been a great day for me; however, I thought I'll post my karaoke blog that I made couple of days ago but never had time to post it. This next song is from the Hindi film "Jab We Met", a feel good romantic comedy movie, that revolves around Shahid Kapur & Kareena Kapoor. Background score was rendered by upcoming music director Pritam and this particular song was sung by Mohit Chauhan.
In fact after the success of this film, it was made in Tamil as well under the title "Kandein Kadhalai" starring Bharath and Tamannaah. Rarely you'll find remakes equally good as the original. I have seen both the versions and I liked them both.
I started doing this song few days a ago but due to work schedules couldn't complete it in a timely manner, but eventually finished it 2 days ago. I like this song for its catchy tune and peppy beat. I hope you'll like this karaoke and as always, please feel free to drop a few lines in the comments box below.
