I agree 100 %
He has what is called a "Rubber" vaai
he demolished this good song Venus Penne from Punnagai Poove. Must have some clout to still keep singing with such a horrible voice

This guy stuffed up "May maatha megam" from Shajahan and "Maalai soodum" from friends big time - if it isn't for Sujatha, both these superb songs would've been disasterous.

I don't think its correct to attack someone personally. Everyone has their own preferences. Some may like him some may not.

Pls dont attack him like this.I am not some diehard fan of Devan.I heard he came to the industry to become a music director and ended up becoming a singer.It is Rahman who has to be blamed if you think devan is bad.

wo people, this is way too much. u know, he aint no SPB...and he hasnt got the carantatic flavouring that most of the singers have...but he brings about somthing different- our tamil film music is becoming ever more westernised...and his voice does suit this. his song in Vettri is good.i aint no die hard fan of him either, but to critise him to this extent is ridiculous.
"just shouts like a mad man"- er yeah, watever. everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but this is just too much. think b4 u speak.
take care

Devan is a hopeless singer. The song Venus Venus Pennae could have been a really great song aside from Devan's singing.
Sam, Devan is here to sing in Tamil Film Music. We want the Tamil feel to his singing. It is sad to see a Tamilian who can't pronounce properly. It drives me insane to hear Devan try and sing!

Devan has given some good numbers
1.Manjal Poosum -Friends
2.Smiyai-KKKK
3.Ore Nyabagam-Minnale
4.Anjala Anjala -Ullam Kollai Poguthey
5.O h Maria -Kadalar Dhinam
6.Nenjapachadi -TIME
But equally he has sung ina crappy way ..and the best example will be venus venus penae from Punngai Poovae !!!!

manjal poosum - oh mannnnn whattt a song!!!....it goes directly to your heart with the violin interludes, the singing by sujatha and devan and of course music by the meastro....devan has sung this song well with a touch of innocence and another songs which he deserves appreciation for will be "may madha megham" from shahjahan....he's definitely not a bad singer.

Devan has given some good numbers, but the songs he has sung would have been great numbers even if he had not sung. Devan sucks majorly!

Devan came to the indutry to become a music director and it is ARR who made him a singer.If you all feel he is the worst singer and just imagine the music taste of ARR to have made him a singer.Dont criticize Devan.I am sure he is not so talented like Hariharan,Shankar Mahadeavan,Harish Raghavendra or Unnikrishnan,but he has some style of his own for which he is used by MDs.I have seen him play guitar too.He is good at it

Are you the Kavitha from Srruthi?
I was at your show. You guys were awesome! Devan is a good entertainer. He kept the crowd going!! Vascodagama song was really pumping. I enjoyed that show.

Music fanatic - i agree with you completely. He's not a bad singer. I really liked Manjal Poosum (Friends)

I love 'Manjal poosum ' song from Friends.
I thought it was rendered by Unni. Devan has done a decent job in that song.

I've sung with Devan as well, and being a singer, I know how hard it is to please everyone. Devan is an audience pleaser...and the fact that he's made it coming from outside of India should be appreciated not insulted!

Can any one give a complete list of songs by Devan. HIs a very talented young singer who are in the shadow because of Karthik, Tippu, and Harish Ragavendras success. When MD like ARR and IR use him he is not bad.

his parents money has nothing to do with his ability to perform, if your parents had enough money i'm sure they'd be happy to spend it on you. they're just raising their son to the best of their ability. and it happens to be that they can financially support him.

Devan was born and brought up in New Jersey. The kid seems to have some musical talents. He apparently was with an Indian band in NJ. He is more interested in playing music than singing.
He accepts that he has problems with his pronounciation and is trying to get better. So.. we shouldn't totally bash him.

Talented youngsters like Madhu Balakrishnan, Harish Raghavendar and Karthik should be encouraged and these fellows should be asked to choose a different profession!
