Thumbi Vaa - Olangal

I am writing this overview with great anxiety and butterflies in my stomach anticipating how the reception would be.Friends this is my first Malayalam Cover and pls dont pounce on me for my poor diction. While trying to justice to the language I have also managed to maintain shruti,bhaavam etc. Trust me I dont understand the meaning of what I am singing. Special mention of NVK sir, who helped me correct my diction in many places (many times too) and also helped me attain perfection. Now its time for me to hear from you guys on your thoughts. Should I continue singing Malayalam or not?

Pls Vote :) Looking forward to your valuable comments.

Note: This song also exists in Tamil, one of the worst picturised for such a wonderful composition. I have finished the song with tamil lyrics just to bring the awareness. The song in tamil is Sangathil padatha kavidhai from the film Auto Raja.

Why don't you start muziboo account and you can get so many feedback for your singing.

It should not be a hidden talent. Will you start posting this song in the muziboo.I think already you have seen the responses for your song with NVK there.

Plz think about it

Thnaks a ton for your continued encouragement. Yes in Malayalm this is a very popular song. The movie was directed by Balu Mahendra. Hey regarding Mayanginen I couldnt find a karoke track. Pls send me one if you have.

Sowmya ji

I am so glad to read such comments from a talented artist like you. Yes, I know Muziboo is an excellent platform for budding artists, but I was skeptical about he pro and non-pro memberships. Will discuss with you on that over email. Thanks once agian for your encouragement.

Dear Subhaa,

Your rendition is an excellent malayalam version of the Tamil song that I have heard. The best part is how you handled all the high pitches without letting your voice crack.

To introduce myself, I am Nithya, one of the founders of Muziboo and I happened to bump into your block while I was googling.
As done by Sowmya above, I exhort you in all sincerity to upload your works on Muziboo to get your talent the visibility that it deserves.
As for your apprehension about the pro membership, I would earnestly say that there is a cost involved in providing top quality service and bringing together aspiring artists like yourself and it is the barest minimum to offset those costs.

I once again invite you to experience the feeling of being a proud Muzibian!
Subha,

A very nice rendition !

I am looking to collaborate with singers and would invite you to listen to some of my works here http://www.soundclick.com/ragaconcepts

If you think singing for such efforts would interest you, kindly contact me.

Hi ... nice singing...

hello singer , i think the telugu version of the song has more gamakams so among all telugu version song is beautiful after repeated compostion and improvisation by ilayaraja and janaki,you will feel the difference of orchestra ,singers tone,pitch,more refined quality and its sruthi slightly faster than in malyalam ,hindi and tamil versions which look duller when compared,because notes come in fast succession.Telugu song will really be a practise for gamakam and increase of tonal quality,the song is "akasam enatido",search you will get it.i would suggest you to practise "Katril enthan geetham " tamil song of same combination and publish your song on your blog.its told to be tough one.
