This next song is presented by my kids Sneha & Nikki along with their cousin Ram. What impressed me was their perseverance to get it right. An awesome composition by Illayaraja and sung by himself for the film Neethane En Ponvasantham.
Enjoy the song and provide your constructive feedback to these kids.

Neela Vaana Odaiyil
Wow! Almost after 9 months I am posting this next karaoke. During this time, I made a trip to India, went through some busy time at work, and few other personal stuff that kept me away from my passion. Infact this is my first post since the dawn of 2013. I really need to pay attention and improve the frequency of my karaoke blogs :-)
I have been wanting to do this next song for a while but never had the time and/or the opportunity. A wonderful song from the movie Vazhve Maayam, starring Kamal, Sri Devi & Sri Priya. This was a blockbuster movie with all the songs becoming super hits right away. SPB has sung some wonderful numbers in this film for Illayaraja's music, but this smooth one was always my favorite.
Just as I was coming out of a bout of cold and cough, I happen to listen to this song and was inspired to do a karaoke of the same. Hope you'd like it. As always, any constructive feedback and/or appreciations are welcome :-)

Anisuthide Yaako Indu
Well, it has now been a while since I last posted a karaoke. Work related travel and an unusually busy music season performing live shows for my band Jersey Rhythms kept me away from putting together this blog. Anyway, here we go...
My next song is from a Kannada movie "Mungara Male". While I am not a Kannadiga by birth, I went to school in Bangalore and by that virtue picked up Kannada and infact have number of Kannadiga friends as well. That said, I picked up this song from my dear bro Raj who thought this would be a good melody for my show and infact I did perform this song as a duet (re-engineered by our band) and was well received.
I was really amazed by this simple melody originally rendered by Sonu Nigam and thought this would be a good one to recreate. Unfortunately the karaoke track was very poor with changing tempo. I have given it a good shot (I think), enjoy and as always provide your constructive comments.

Mun Andhi Charaal Nee
After almost 2 months I am posting this karaoke; well, its lack of time due to busy work schedule and partially due to rehearsals for Jersey Rhythms show in Jan of 2012. Anyway, now that I am back, I thought of doing this newer song from 7am Arivu starring Surya & Shruti Hassan. While I haven't seen this Tamil film, I believe it was a moderate success, much against the expectations for a Suriya starrer.
It was once again Harris Jeyraj for Suriya and this combo has been quite successful. Though, Harris's songs are very simple and sometime might sound repetitive, who cares; its feet tapping and catchy. This slow melody by Karthik is a nice soft song and I liked the way Karthik had rendered this song.
I think my karaoke came out OK, though I would have liked it slighly better. But let me confess, I became little impatient after few takes, maybe I need to get back into my karaoke mood to be patient until I get the required output.
Go ahead, enjoy this song and let me know your thoughts.

Why This Kolaveri
Here is a song that has become so viral that it appears that this is arguably the 2nd most popular song in the world now.
While my role in recording this song was that of a coach and sound engineer (effectively assisted by budding sound engineer & my younger daughter Nikki) , this was sung by my niece, nephew & daughter (Prash, Suvi, Sneha respectively). It took them almost 3 hours to complete this song. Kudos to these kids for showing enthusiasm and willingness to belt out this catchy number from yet to release Tamil film "3" starring Dhanush.
I thoroughly enjoyed recording this song and so did the kids enjoyed singing it. We had lots of laughter and fun and I am sure you'll enjoy this as well.

Unnidam Mayangugiren
Here we go another song in short succession after my previous post. Looks like I am in mood...or is it this song is so compelling that I was motivated to post another song this quickly; well, either way, this next song from the movie "Then Sindude Vaanam" had some amazing songs composed by lesser known GK Venkatesh & V.Kumar.
This particular song sung by Yesudas was such a wonderful melody that you can definitely include this in your personal evergreen list. A very simple song with minimal instruments primarily made of piano & base rhythm. Infact this movie starring Sivakumar, Kamalahasan & Jayachitra had SP Balasubramanian singing another super hit title song as well.
Yesudas in his nascent voice sings this Valli's song with such magnificence, it really brings back memories of those bygone years... You got to pay attention to Valli's lyrics in this song, woh! just amazing! infact, I would say sensual. Close the door, turn off all other sounds, put your headsets on and enjoy this smooth song.
While this was a good karaoke track, you'll notice that the second BGM is slightly different from the original track and also in few places I had to work with the rhythm which I guess turned out OK in the end.
Sit back, relax and enjoy this wonderful song.

Vaa Vennila Unai Thane
This next song is from the film Mela Thiranthathu Kadavu starring Mohan & Amla. While the story line was very simple this movie primarily ran for the background score including the amazing songs that were composed by MS Viswanathan & Illayaraja. Yes, you heard it right, this movie's music was jointly scored by the "Mellisai Mannan" & "Isainyani". It's very rare in the film industry to see 2 champions in their own right come together and work together. All the songs in this movie were super hit.
This particular song was penned by Gangai Amaran, one of the many songs in which he excelled. SP Balasubramanian's smooth voice in this song kept it on the top of the charts for many months. I really like this song both for its rendition and its lyrics and luckily got a good karaoke track as well.
I think my karaoke effort has come out reasonably well, but obviously you are the best judge. But, I am sure you'll enjoy listening to the song as much as I enjoyed singing it.
