Juxtaposing two of my favourites

I happened to do this while we beamed my show Aahaa Kaapi Klub from Canada, while we were there for a show earlier this year. Tried combining Jagjit Singh's "Apne Aankhon ke samandar mein..." with "Udhaya Udhaya". It sounded nice then. I tried pretty much the same thing. Telecast on yesterday, its here for your view.

    Superb!! The Feel and Music mattered here that I feel. This is one way and also an example for national integration. Could you give the meaning of this "Apne" that you have sung here.

    Thanks for sharing such a nice video & music. Its excellent.

    This girl looks like one contestent of Airtel Super Singer 2008- Thamizagathin brammandamana chella kural thedal.

    I was so upset that Baargavi was eleiminated, she didnt perform well because of wrong song selection. You could have given her a chance to sing some other song.

    Little time I get to spend on TV, an I dont miss Super singer. we make it a point to watch together(my wife/daughter) . We are a great fan of yours.I'm little dissappointed that you sounded so biased towards santhosh/deepshika pair that you gave him/them your lucky lord hanuman's idol. I didnt have an answer when my daughter asked me - why did chinmayi aunty gave this to only Santhosh & Deepshika? though i can appreciate that its a purely personal decision, and that you gave him with good intentions, i thought you shouldn't have chosen to tell about this to everyone in public. I think other participants too deserve good luck and beleive me everyone is seeking blessings and well wishes from a mentor like you and i hope you will take care of them with a small gesture of good luck during the coming shows so that everyone gets more encouraged and motivated...

    Cheers

    Thanks everyone
    Raj: The Hanuman chain was NOT given by me. I guess there is a serious misunderstanding. If you had seen the earlier episodes, Santhosh mentioned during the regionals that his mom gave it to him and he thinks it is lucky for him. And he carries it. It has been my routine to ask time and again whether he has it on his person. Wish you had made double checked before calling me biased.

    Sorry about that. may be my kid didnt listen to it properly, neither me. we didnt see the earlier episodes as well. Sorry again.

    But I must tell you, its a great work that you have been doing. Singers improving at every stage, and the competition is getting more tougher and interesting to watch.

    All the best.....

    Hey by the way a request, we love hearing SAHANA song from you live - if you get a chance, do sing it for us in one of the episodes.

    Hi Chinmayee,

    This is Venkat from Bangalore.
    I do regularly watch Airtel Super Singer 2008.
    U host really good.

    This is the first time I'm seeing ur blog. pls don feel bad.:))

    Commenting on ur voice I shud admint that u have a very bold, clear & a very soothing voice which u render according to the song.
    Also Tamil pronounciation is too good while singing which really can make a song Hit.
    Thats really great. Moreover I'm a die hard fan of ARR sir. And liked ur voice since Kannathil muththamittal.
    All the Best for ur future ventures.

    I hope u reply my comment.
    Just a question. Since most of the celebrities are busy, how do you get time to blog n reply to our comments.

    I met you once in Manirathnam Sir's office. My friend Manasa was working there and she introduced me to you....I am very sure that you wont remember me....

    I work till 10.00 PM, so I dont get to watch Super Singer...which is making me sick....my husband watches the show and he always praise your voice....So I found a way to see the show....I started watching in the net....Then I thought, I should know more about you...so I searched for your profile in Wikipedia...

    I listned to your "Udaya Udaya"...Oh my gosh....your voice is awesome.....I always wonder whether it is your voice....because when you speak ...it is different and when you sing ...it is completely different....I just dont know what to say....You are great....

    I dont know how you get time to maintain your blog...if at all you get time...please email me....I will be very happy if you respond....

    One request...if it is possibe...could you please recommend Vijay TV to retelecast Super Singer show during the weekend please?????????????

    All the Very Best...

    I was awestruck by your rendition of "Udhaya Udhaya" a personal favourite of mine...Is there a way you can sneak in "Mayya Mayya" live in any of the episodes of Airtel Super Singer. Your voice explodes in that song...also the wonderful song in U18Y20...and your soothing humming in "Enadhuyirae"...I LOVE that song too....You ROCK Chinmayee...
