Many thanks for uploading the song from Osai. It is one of my all time favorite songs (both in its hindi version and the tamizh one). This is also a song that...
I have posted "nIyum vAzavENdum" under "Files". A song composed just for VJ. By none other than MSV. Unfortunately the recording I have posted jumps, skips,...
Neel, yvsmani, Thanks for your posts. Neat is a good word. Pure-um porundhum! I will do my best to get VJs schedule. No promises, but you can expect me to give...
Naaz, what a neat singing that is. I cant come up with any word other than "neat" to describe it. The clarity, pronunciation, shruti, dignified expression to...
I agree with Naaz. Around 6 months back, she sang "7 swarangalukkul" without any music. appadiyae mei marakka seithu vittaar. Came to know that she was in ...
Just two songs and the cover the enitre gamut of possibilities VJs voice is capable of! From a frivolous song (check out the variations of "heh heh heh in...
Naaz, "andha raaman" is indeed a beautiful example that demonstrates Vani's talent. In just 60 seconds, with microminimal accompaniment, she proves how musical...
Neel - I have mentioned this earlier, but it bears repeating: The true worth and calibre of a singer can be measured just Voice without musical accompaniment...
I have posted a bit-song "andha rAman srInAmam" under files section. From the movie "Nenjamellaam Neeye". Radha sings this song in a temple (or some public...
This is an soothing and lilting duet by VJ-MVD. This "combination" had a few fun songs together (Enni Irundhadhu and Vachchalam Neththippottu, come to mind...
Neel - This solo from Illangeswaran (raavanan-no?) is another pointer, and a good example of VJs focus on the metre and stress of lyrics. The chorus showcases...
Neel - Thank you for the rare IR-VJ duet. It must be the only song they have sung together. Although a short piece, it has all the IR compositional elements...
I have uploaded a rare duet, probably the only one VJ-IR duet under "Files". I did not upload this at www.vanijayaram.com becuase I dont think that I have the...
Naaz, have you listened to the song "malligai pookka manmadan paarkka"? It is a VJ-Mano duet from the movie "Amma Pillai". Music by Shankar-Ganesh. A lovely...
Naaz, Maanendrum is a wonderful song which I heard for the first time only a few months ago. I was so happy to have unearthed another gem by VJ. The movie was...
In the quiet of the night, a lullaby that pierces the heart and soothes the soul...The Arirarirariraro....bit, particularly the final fade where the...
Naaz, that was a good post. Legends are legends no matter what era they are in. I am talking about MSV and VJ. While the deterioration of quality in Tamil Film...
The song "Nithyasumangali," composed in the mid-90s is a good place to begin an investigation of the evolution of tamil film music in the last decade. Composed...
Neel - I've only just finished working. Will check the new songs tonight or early tomorrow and post my views. Keep the songs coming...you are certainly...
It is true, Neel. This song (like many other VJ solos) did not get too much air-time. I doubt if it made it to Vividh Bharati more than 3 times. But it is not...
Naaz, VJ makes use of this opportunity to her best and showcases her ability as a classical singer and as a playback singer. Wonder why this song never became...
This song from Paththini Penn is true example of the difference between a classically trained singer in Film Music, and a make-it-up-as-you-go-along singer in...
I look forward many rewarding and insightful (intelligent will be a definite plus :-)) discussions. Thanks for making the effort in starting this discussion...
