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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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, 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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Naaz, "andha raaman" is indeed a beautiful example that demonstrates Vani's talent. In just 60 seconds, with microminimal accompaniment, she proves how musical...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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,...
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...
Once again, perfect examples of expressiveness, clarity, pronuncaition and technical perfection. How touching when VJ sings "Kanne... Kaniyamude..." in "oru...
Two amazing songs from Kanne Kaniamudhey which showcase Vani Jairam's godly voice and her undeniable virtuosity. Brilliant, as a word, seems shockingly...
