Is the Bombay Singers Domination Coming down?

Topic started by Asif (@ 61.11.77.146) on Tue Apr 2 01:37:17 EST 2002.
All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

The Domination of bombay singer in south(which is absolutely needless but somehow was grown) is i think slowly coming down bcos of southern talents like srinivas,harish raghavendra,devan,chitra sivaraman and so many new singers takin over the scene.

  Asif,
  
  One way you are right - But Sadhana Sargam is still getting atleast 25% of the female voices in TFM ... thats something I want to change,
  
  Also, A better tamil pronounciation from Devan :-) Karthik is good in this - Tippu is okay Except for the latest 'Thamizhan' Song where he has done nothing but thamizhk kolai !
  Harish is the perfect tamil singer I could enjoy after SPB as far as pronounciation is concerned !

  Suresh,
  
  "OK" is not a certificate :-)
  
  I feel devan and tippu are in the same level, Both can do a better job ...
  
  Once I asked Devan (Thro' Email), why he is singing in nuni naakku always, can't he pronounce tamil better - he said, 'its the wish of MDs and Directors, I can sing better, but who is letting me do it ?'

  Who are the Bombay singers?
  
  Udit Narayan
  Sukhvinder Singh
  Sadana Sargam
  
  Any more? Would you call this domination?

  NagaS,
  I am sure that "venmathi" is by Tippu.Who know's
  Tippu's real name might be Roopkumar Rathod.:-)

  Roop Kumar Rathod is a talented guy, and sounds best in soft/ semi-classical/ghazal kind of numbers in Hindi.
  
  Please do not compare him with people like Devan or Tippu. In fact Sonu Nigam, who has sung a few songs in Tamil at least tries to get the pronunciation right, even if he doesn't succeed 100%. He is miles and leagues ahead of the Tippus and Devans, whose vocal rendering as well as diction are pathetic!
  
  Dey Tippu, Nee paadarathey Tappu!
  Un Service-kku kudukka koodaathu any Tippu!
  Nee field-a vittup pOnA,
  Namma sandhOsham retTippu!

  I had some problems with HariHaran's pronounciation too ... But I must say he is trying his level best .... particularly after listening to his work in Kaasi !

  Well Thats nice to hear
  it is true that he(hari) was struggling with his pronounciation in the beginnning but as of now he has really made an effort.Hope he keeps up the good work in all movies!
  What do u ppl think abt Sukwinder Singh?
  Isnt he a real pain?
  REAL TAMIZH KOLAI!!!!!!!

  well among all the southi singer
  harish raghavendra is the best as far his prounounciation is concerned n also the feel he gives depending upon the nature of the song. he is very verrsatile too

  hey guys
  There was this episode on TVS SaReGaMa, a few years back..I think it was for the New Year in Delhi
  SPB, Chitra, Shankar M...and Sonu Nigam(host)
  SPB and Chitra sang Anjali..from Duet...alternating between Tamil and Hindi effortlessly....Sonu Nigam was trying to catch a glimpse of Chitra's lyrics notebook...and he was startled to find that the lyrics were written in English.
  Sonu Nigam mentioned that his favorite song from Pardes, was not the one that he had sung (diwana dil) but the one that chitra had sung (piya).
  It was really nice seeing so much chemistry between the top singers.

  I think Sadhana Sargam is still far more better compared to Lata mAngeshkar and Asha Boshle when it comes to Tamil song pronounciation. Anuradha Paudwal killed the " Pose Manjal, Pose Manjal" song.Kavitha Krishnamurthy sometimes kills tamil songs but sometimes when she kills it, the song does sound nice! By the way, what happened to Tamil singers Sunantha and Uma Ramanan?
