[Plum]

Aren't these gimmicks though? 3 note song, 2 note song, next concertnu onnu irundhaa one note songA?

Hariharan has to be controlled and has to be shown his place.

Did anyone who attended the concert notice the following? Ir went to play the piano for the nee partha paravai ku oru Nandri and when he finished the song and came he and hariharan did speak and i saw hariharans expression on his face...he gave a stupid reason for which raaja reacted in the opposite..

The show as good for SPB and IR - that is all...

Chithra is very talented but somehow i am not convinced about her singing S Janaki's songs or rather any of the young uppuma singers singing it

Someone asked if 2004/5 or 2011 concert was better..both are 2 different genres and cannot be compered but 2004/5 concert paved the way for IR's concert

Some - ves of the show

Bad management of tickets..many people with children were sitting on the steps

Worst of all 500 and 750 tickets had no differentiation at all

[kameshratnam]

MSV composed a song with 4 notes and hence IR did with 3 notes and it always a mark of a genius to beat what he himself did and i guess IR is in the same way.

Plum, no. Gimmicks will be if raja were to land on the stage via a flying capsule while rockets crack up from around in all directions and liquid nitrogen spread on stage.. what he has done with 3 or 2 notes are musical challenges that even top musicians will dare attempt.

To add further Oil to the burning Fire

I watched a concert on TV with Hariharan And Anuradha Sriram. His on stage singing was as suthapyfying as mano's off stage singing!, Hariharan was all over the place on stage, he went off shruti , then he was holding Anuradha Sriram's hand and dancing, I was like come on man, both of you are married

Any way

@PARAM - I chided plum for saying MSV's aavi - no sane person on the planet would have a second opinion on hariharan's sodhappal singing in the name of improvisation. Idhula kaamedy innaana indha aalu oru TV programla singersa judge panraaraama..

இதுதான் வாய்ப்பு என இங்கே ஹரியின் மேடை செயல்பாடுகளின் மீது துவேஷமா? ரஹ்மானின் தொடர் மேடைக் கச்சேரிகளில் இன்னும் தொடர்ந்து இடம் பெற்று வருபவர் ஹரி! அங்கே அவருக்கு எப்படி வெகுமதிகள் கிடைக்கின்றன என்பது சென்று பார்த்தவர்களுக்கு தெரிந்திருக்கும். மேடையில் பரிட்சார்த்த முயற்சிகள் செய்ய எல்லா இசைக் கலைஞர்களுக்கும் இடம் இருக்கிறது. அசலைப் போலவே கேட்கணும் என்றால் மேடை நிகழ்ச்சி எதற்கு? தாளத்திற்கு ஏற்ப சரியான இடத்தில் எடுக்காமல் சொதப்பினால் தவறுதான். போதிய அளவு முன்பயிற்சி இல்லாமல் ஹரி நேரிடையாக ஒரு வேளை வந்திருக்கக் கூடும். அதுவும் தவறே! ஆனால் ஹரியை மொத்தமாக நிராகரிக்கும் போக்கு சரியல்ல.
