I'm a new visitor to this website. I couldn't see anyone discussing about Vani Jayaram's songs.
Let me start this one.(It had been there previously pls. forgive me!)
"Ezhu swarangalukkul ethanai paadal..
Ithaya surangathul ethanai kelvi...
Vaazhum manitharukkul ethanai salanam.."
Wow! Beautiful voice!

Naaz, I remember you had requested "Maan kanden Maan kanden" from Raja Rishi sometime back. Have you got it yet ? I can arrange the audio file for you if you are interested in including it in your program. Please let me know.

Neel D, great site.
can you better the quality of the song that is uploaded? maybe increase the sampling rate or something. the songs are wav files, maybe you can convert to mp3s or rms to improve the quality & decrease the size of the songs.
thanks for your great service.

vgs - Dhayau panni andha "Maan Kandaen" paadalai annupungo...It showcases IR-VJ-KJY at their best!
(The song above and the song "Rathiriyil Poothirukkum Thamarai Than Penno?" from Thangamagan are based on the same raga...Any guesses what the raga might be?)
Susi - I think I have Mazhaikaalamum from Savithri.
s0 - But for "Moongililai Kaadugaley" - I have the rest. It is a fine list, thanks! (I will have to choose the best sounding - qualitywise - ones for the programme - and will do my best to include some of the common favorites from here.)
If you guys give me your location - I might even announce it in the acknowledgements at the end of the programme...Just city or town or state or...It's upto you.)

vgs - please also explain how this "audio file" business will work - when you send me the file - can I copy it to a disk?? I am electronically challenged (unapologetically :-))

I can arrange for "Moongil Ilai", Naaz. it is in mp3 form. it can be converted to a .wav format and written onto a cd and played just like any other audio cd.
vgs, can you send me "maan kanden" too?

s0 - Thanks for the clarification. I am familiar with that process... I have compiled CDs in that manner. So, please send the song - if nothing else, I would love to have another addition to my VJ.

Thanks s0. I will check it soon.
BTW (this is an SJ/SPB question) - is the song "Keeravani Iravile...Padava Nee" from Paadum Paravailgal? I know the MD is IR (the film was dubbed from Telegu into tamizh - Karthik/Banupriya)
can someone confirm if I have the right movie for the right song? Tks.
(back to VJ now )

Naaz,
Have you interviewed any other music personalities? If so, can you share your experience with them?
- From: Naaz (@ 24.76.127.63)
on: Tue Apr 2 22:06:20 EST 2002
Aruvi -
I have interviewed "cultural/performing arts" personalities. These include musicians, film actors/directors, classical dancers and writers.
Among them (those I have interviewed) are: Vani Jairam, Shabana Azmi, Shobana, Archana, Balu Mahendra, Shyam Benegal (film director) Sivasankari (writer) Jitendra Abisheki (hindustani classical vocalist) Chitra Visweswaran, Vijay Tendulkar (marathi playwright) and Kamalhaasan and Meenakshi Seshadri (these two were was a "live" interviews which I moderated during the inter-collegiate cultural festival).
VJ is the only singer from TFM who answered my call requesting an interview and confirmed the time/day the very next day. I interviewed her in two sittings (part at her home and part during an S-G recording). My calls to interview IR and MSV were not returned.

Anyhow, you were really lucky to have been able to meet such interesting and different personalities. Must have been thrilling.
I of course, love VJ's Ezhu swarangalukkul. I have always favoured it for its lyrical quality than for VJ's singing. I must hear it again. How about her mazhigai enn mannan mayankum song? I guess it was not as popular.

Priya,
You are most welcome. I can never get enough of "kARRinilE". VJ sings those beautiful, and not so easy, lyrics at that pace with so much ease. What perfection! Listen to how she sings "En intha" that follows "EkAntha nEraththil". That is VJ muththirai.
s0,
Thank you for the suggestions. I am not so familiar with the tools available. I will get there soon. Keep your suggestions/tips coming.

Yes, it was my good fortune to meet these eminent and immensely talented artistes. I always enjoyed asking them some tough questions and they suitabley rose to the challenge.
Interesting to note that you call the song "VJs Ezhu Swarangalukkul" and then go on to say that you liked it more for its "lyrical" quality than the singing.
In that case, shouldn't it be Kannadasan's Ezhu Swarangalukkul? :-)

Neel D,
The first time I heard Kaatrinile Varum Geetham (from Rasigan Oru) I was waiting for my bus near Shanti Cinema (Anna Salai, Chennai) - The song was played at a high decibel from a nearby Record Shop. Just as the song moved into the first verse, the bus arrived. Of course, I gladly missed it!

Here is a surprise. If you underestimated that VJ cannot do "mukkal" and "munagal" check the website again for the latest addition "sugamAna nEram". Due to poor quality recording I am planning to keep it for only one day on the page.
- From: Naaz (@ 24.76.127.63)
on: Tue Apr 2 23:20:20 EST 2002
I heard the other Kaatrinile Varum Geetham (film/title song) after many moons, today. Hauntingly well done. Another VJ-IR masterpiece.

Priya: Sugamaana raagangalE has ranjani in it too, I think. There's a verse that goes
ranjaniyai azhaithEn vaaraayO
en nuni naakkil nadanamida vaaraayO
inbam koduppavaL nee iLamai vaLarppavaL nee
...
Neel D: How do you u/l songs to a website? Is there a way I can u/l songs here? There have been requests for the bala naagammaa songs, the uyir mei ezhuthu song and others that I have in this thread in the past.
- From: kik (@ 207.0.105.199)
on: Tue Apr 2 23:57:42 EST 2002
Naaz: There are many more possibilities for your program - vizhiyilE malarnthathu, iLamai ennum poongaatru, ithu oru ponmaalai pozhuthu, metti oli kaatrOdu en nenjai thaalaatta,....
On Kavithai kElungaL - VJ has sung this well as we've all discussed in the past. But, i can't help feeling this song is very gimmicky. It's probably meant to be given the situation in the movie. I'm demoting it out of my favorites list:-(

on: Wed Apr 3 00:00:40 EST 2002
Neel D - VJs "mukkal, munagal" bits are always well within the confines of decorum and decency. She never exploits a gimmick. (Somehow, gimmickry is regarded as "versatility" by many listeners.)

on: Wed Apr 3 00:12:23 EST 2002
I agree with you about the Kavidhai Kelungal song, kik. The composition does have some unexpected transitions. The initial tempo (Netru yen...) races at a clip and then the "Jagana Jagana" slams a anti-climactic brake. However, I still consider it to be one of IRs experimental successes, and the singing never falters by both the primary artistes.
Incidentally, VJ has not sung for IR after the Kavidhai song. Right?
From your list: I have the vizhiyile song for sure. I love the song from Metti (even that Kalyanam Yennai Mudikka by Jency) but I don't have the album :-((

It is sad that vampish songs are a benchmark for "versatility"!
Neel, I loved that karrinile song you had uploaded...i hadnt heard it ever before AFAIR. Thats another superb example of "singing long lines in one breath"!
- From: AVR (@ 143.127.3.10)
on: Wed Apr 3 01:06:38 EST 2002
Naaz, how about sugam sugam in your list. I mean its one of her most recent songs. And her only one for ARR. And a great one above all. Neel had told me to listen to it after dark, and he said the whole room gets brimmed with the resonating voices of VJ,SPB. Indeed!
- From: avr (@ 143.127.3.10)
on: Wed Apr 3 01:52:29 EST 2002
and read the last line as "it seems as if the whole room **is brimming with** their voice"
"gets brimmed with" is bad english :-)
