   നല്ലപാട്ട് ശങ്കർ മഹാദേവന്റെ ആക്സെന്റ് ഇല്ലാതെ കേട്ടതിൽ വളരെ സന്തോഷം. അതിലും നന്നായി ജോ പാടിയിട്ടുമുണ്ട്.
   കൊമ്പൊസിഷൻ അത്രമികച്ചതൊന്നുമല്ല. “സ്വയംവരചന്ദ്രികേ”യുടെ പ്രേതം ചിലടത്ത് ആവേശിക്കുന്നുമുണ്ട്. പക്ഷേ ഓർക്കെസ്ട്രേഷൻ പുതുമയുള്ളത്. സൂക്ഷ്മതയുമുണ്ട്. മാൻഡൊലിൻ പ്രയോഗങ്ങൾ സുന്ദരം. മൃദംഗത്തോട് ചേർന്ന്.. ഇടയ്ക്ക് ഘടം വന്ന് വോക്കലിനു കൊടുക്കുന്ന സപ്പോർട്. ഒരു യന്ത്രം ഒരേ ബീറ്റു മാത്രം ഇട്ടുകൊടുക്കുന്ന ഈയിടത്തെ പതിവിൽ നിന്നും വ്യത്യാസപ്പെട്ടത്.

   Stupendous rendition, Jo! Really enjoyed every bit of it. This song is a personal favorite of mine too The interludes reminds me of ” Pranatosmi Guruvayoor….” from Sindhoora Rekha composed in Reethigowla. May be this song might be the in same raaga (not sure

   Jo, Give me your hand man..!!

   Amazingly sung!! I knew this song would be a piece of Art..if sung by you, just for the range and the simplicity !!

   And it sure is….!!

   Wow …is not the word…!! Superb…!!

   Fantastic Karaoke !! Well mixed.

   Your voice, sruthi, bhavam, fantastic. Really enjoyed it !!

   I think Picha Vecha is the song of the year so far !! I am sure it will break a lot of records. And I wish Deepak Dev – listens to your version !!

    Very beautiful, Jo. You did beat Shankar on this one. Since it is a slow one, it is quite easy to pick on accent mismatches, though Shankar had given all the ‘bhava’ it deserves. You gave everything that the original song lacked.

    Now the song is complete!

    Jo,
    I heard it now only. Though this song was a huge hit across Kerala, I was hugely disappointed with Shankar Mahadevan’s performance – especially because of his accent. I wished dasettan sang this song.

    Just finished commenting on Youtube about the flaws of this song. It’s not a super duper melody, but surely a decent one. The following are the problems with Shankar.

    He pronounces ‘picha vecha’ like ‘puchham’, aasha like ‘fashion’ and not like ‘dosha’. And it should be ’swantham’ not ’sontham’. Also ‘paadaswaram’ is wrong – it’s actually ‘paadasaram’. Rest like ‘naan’ for ‘njaan’ etc can be excused. That’s what Tamil + Malayalam + Hindi can do to your language

    Fortunately, you have done an excellent job with your clean Malayalam and crispy voice – well, except for paadaswaram

    Way to go jo…

    Enikku othiri istamulla paatta ithu ! After a long time something that is so melodious. I wish if Karthik sang this ! But Sankar Ji did justice to the song. Actually Deepak Dev sang this beautiful in SuperStar 2. Also isnt it Padasaram and not Pada Swaram? Jo ,you rendered this beautiful as usual . Also try to do the new song from Kerala Cafe (Kathakal athi ..sagaram, and some beautiful numbers from NeelaThamara )
    All the best
    Karthika

    Hi Karthika, thank you for pointing these out and for your kind words of appreciation. Haven’t heard the songs from Kerala Cafe, will listen to it and try some of them for sure.
