Classic rendition

Sunil, you rock !!!

Keep posting..

Keshav said...

Fantastic effort Koshy. I should say you are opening up your voice, good improvement.
However,that said, I would like to point out a few things here.
Every rendition of yours should bring out the singer in you, not the singer who has sung it. The more you try to ape a singer (KJ or hariharan), somewhere down the line you start losing your originality.
Any person who is set out to achieve needs a very important thing for himself and that is Self-confidence. I know you have said some words in your blog out of humility, but dont ever think you are not good.
As always there is a lot of room for improvement and you should keep working at it and I know you will and are working towards it.
Good Luck

koi gaa tha main so jaa tha..koi gaa tha...the song itself is so full of peace and on top of that sunil's voice is soothing. Jeo mere laal...

Renuka said...

You could have sung this song much more better.Might be I heard this song many times from you. We know you rock with songs sung by yesudas, SP. But we want to listen your singing with songs sung by many other variety singers like Kailash kher . Just give a try and would love to listen his songs in your voice.

Hey Sunil,

I really liked the tamil rendering than the hindi one coz, your voice was more confident when you sang the tamil one. Also, when ever possible do try to talk in hindi, this will seriously improve your hindi word pronunciation. coz at places i felt the words was different from the original song.

The feel was there man.

Rock On!!!

Suchin Kerlapur said...

hey you could really have sung the tamil one. hindi lyric and carnatic music accent doesnt go well. moreover the lyrics seems to be a straight translation from tamil.

as always, you sing very well. i love your voice. am sure its going to get better and better. in this song at some points you sound like sonu nigam during improvisations ..:) just my observation.

post more and more sunil

Hi,
I came here from Shilpa's blog. Great singing and nice new idea for a blog.

But as someone who has a blog of her own, I can tell you that the hardest part is to keep posting after the initial euphoria has died down and the number of comments are on the decline.
Hope you blog thrives and your dreams come true. Happy New Year!

Shilpa said...

Very nice Sunil. This song is one of V's all time favorite. I feel this song has many ups and downs which require a lot of proficiency to sing. Good job.

the spine guru said...

Vow!! this time, it is really fantastic, keep going....

Ravi Chandran said...

Great Job da......

You have a great depth in voice da but i felt that you have not opened enough in the places you need to. It feels that you are holding yourself and not expressing out much. I felt the same bcos i am so much used to listening to SPB voice.

And your tamil version of the song is much better than the earlier once not just the pronunciation but rather even the expressions.

Keep up the good work man.... You will surely find success for your gifted voice.... :)

All the best !

Lovely Sunil. Actually when I listened to you sing live the other day, I had half a mind to request you to sing one sangati in Tamil. Very nice:)

MJ said...

hey bro ...gud job! i had no clue dat dis song was sung by u....till i reached the comment section....as u know i recently explored ur blog and orkut profile.....and ya as sumone commented dat there is some room for improvement w.r.t. the pronounciation (hindi)....for e.g..... the line "tujh bin tarse naine"..... u pronounced the word "tarse" as "tazhse"..like we do in malayalam...."zh".....look into it.... but overall gud job... keep it up.

Seetha Iyer said...

Sunil, you have got a great voice. I think your voice suits more for strong emotionals songs..happen to visit your site through aayi's blog.

Keep posting more songs.. I donno whether you like the maa song from Taare zamein par. appreciate if you can post the song

Unknown said...
