SPB's interview was real gem. Actually those days each and every singer put their heart and soul into it. It was much more realistic while watching in movie.
Kadhalin Deepam Ondru is one perfect example... it was as if SPB was in love with Madhavi.. he sang the song..
Enna Satham Indha Neram was another gem where SPB literally became Kamalhasan while singing
Rasave Unna Nambi by Janaki..
Amma endrazaikkadha by KJY .. it was so touching.
look now.. none of the songs are touching.. because of substandard singers.. and their poor modulation of voice.. they don't know where to put accent where not to. Singers like Udit Narayans should be thrown into Indian ocean..... he is literally murdering tamil along with host of other north indian singers.. It is the responsibility of MDs to get the best out of singers.. The pronunciation is the key to give any good song. Right emphasis at the Right time..
SPB has every right to be depressed about the standard of present day singers... I am fed up with these hip hop type songs being sung by north indians in "frog in the throat" voice... They should be gunned down one by one like in cow boy movies..

very true, that's y I do not bother listening to any new albums, even if the MD is ARR/IR, unless the likes of SPB, KJY, Jeyachandran is singing, to me all the new singers sound like clowns! :)
look how "Kasi" songs were spoilt by Hari, had it been SPB, it would have been better story!

Just listen to Maadathile from Veera...You hardly get the idea that SPB is singing it..it looks as if Rajni himself is doing that..Great emoting from SP!

I saw, SPB interviewing IR on TV programmed called "Raagalayam", they both are very very good friends, but what went wrong?, many ppl condemn IR as an arrogant pig headed person, but on the interview, I saw the complete opposite!

Sorry I didnt visit this thread for some time!!
Yes.."Madathile" is a mischievous song..and SPB does it perfectly.
I listen to "Oru jeevan thaan" n no of times on Winamp while working...brilliant and spontaneous laughs in the song..This was a non-IR song. Just proves that SPB performs irrespective of the MD

SPB and IR are good friends ever since time before IR came into TFM. They both are big fans of Rafi. SPB mentioned once that he and IR (before IR came into TFM) used to go to hotel buhari very frequently and spent hours listening to Rafi's songs on the radio. If you get a chance, buy or rent IR's concert in colombo in 1991 or 1992 (I don't remember which year). In that show IR and SPB had wonderful conversation about their past memories before and after each song they performed. That show had only SPB and Surender as male singers. I watched in few years ago but I don't know if it's available in any shop.

why is it that illayaraja not using his majesty's voice . his there any problem between these two giants. both complemented each other for over two decades.
illayaraja should revert back to spb if he is to regain his no.1 slot as music director

Long time no hear!
How r u Raghu?
Yes I got the cassette yesterday!
SPB ...very nice.
However..I hate to admit it but Mano sounds alot like SPB in Kaadhale!
Bloody copy cat!..he has sung it quite well though!
I got Karna on the weekend..malare..top dog of a song, however Konji Konji...from Vedham I thought was boring.
I am waiting for the songs from Keladi Kanmani(old)..probably get them today...I've heard SP bala's song is quite good.
Is it worth getting YSR's April Math..for SPB let me know..I am waiting for ur opinion.

Not @ all, in fact, if u listen with care, u can easily distinguish from SPB's awsome voice to Mano's horrible voice, I hated the Mano song in Kadhal virus, because of Mano, in fact that should have gone to SPB.
By the way, that song "Yenthan vaanin" from kadhal virus, I am singing that song in london, for a concert, very tough to render, the concert will be held in hayes, middle-sex, UK.

Raghu master...
I agree u can easily distinguish the two..SP bala being quite superior..but honestly in this song don't u think there is an uncanny resembelance......a bit...a fraction!!!
And Yes sp should have sung it!
Where is the concert ..can I come and see!
Are u a trained singer..Tell me more
Ur views on Keladi Kanmani

yes, the concert will be on 23/10/02, in some halls in hayes, near southhall, send me an email, I will tell u all about it, as I just want to keep this thread just about SPB, if u don't mind. :)
Yes, Mano openly admitted that SPB is his idle, & that he tries to imitate him, and that he was not successful in doing so, hence he tried to sing differently in for the songs "Mukala Muqabula laila", from kadhalan.
it was IR who introduced Mano to Play back singing, Mano was Ir assistant in the early days, he has killed 99% of the songs he had sung, with the exeptions of "Muqala Muqabula", "Azhagiya lailai", ..etc.
Keladi kanmani, has a song by SPB, where he sings the song without taking a breath for a minute!!!, this song must be available at; www.raaga.com
superb song by SPB+IR combo!
