Round 1: Shankar Mahadevan

Feel free to discuss his rating for this performance!

Note: This was Shankar Mahadevan's 1st song that became popular across Bollywood.

Okay...


We all know Shankar Mahadevan is a great singer. But what was this? 😆

I expected a solo by him or something. But I realized, this is not even him singing. It was AR Rehman. And then later yes he came. But it was very limited singing by him. He had some lines, and you could tell when he starts singing, but it was still pretty limited. It was mostly AR Rehman, with Shankar supporting him.

There is nothing much more to say here, the parts he sung were good. But limited. He had similar type of lines throughout the song. I'd give this a 6, but with the limited singing, a 5, but since it is Shankar Mahadevan, I'm going to give him a point just for benefit of doubt.


Rating: 6/10

I'll going to kill RA for rejecting my proposal and thinking of this track.😈

Now, coming to this, silly lyrics aside, this track does have decent positives. yes, its a combination of both ARR and Shankar mahadevan. Its a risk which I hope will be taken well by the public. The tune is what set this track apart from others. Its foot tapping, refreshingly different and perfectly suited for dance.
Yes, its dominated by ARR but Shankar's contribution too plays an important role. He is his usual self, singing with masti and enjoying his singing as he does always. Its one of his earliest tracks in bollywood and he does pretty well for that. the coordination betwen ARR and shankar is just good, could have been more tighter but given the fast pace of the tune and varying tempo, he as done a splendid job.

Out of ARR's music, this particular tune is just OK, the beats are as usual superb, but it takes a hell lot of time to understand the voice clarity as the singing is again, pretty fast paced. But credit to shankar to add josh an singing in one breath without losing the all important sur quotient. the ending is again loose paced. it should feel that the song is ending, as again, his singing can be tighter. But hey, it was mid 90s and the era was on a transition to a more fast paced tunes and again, ARR remains the pioneer in moving with the times.

I'll cash in on shankar's brand image and popularity quotient in this round.

7/10, but could have been better if the lyrics were decent.

Oh I havent heard this song before. I have no idea as to how much should I rate it. May be I ll listen to it again & than give my analysis later:)

interesting choice of song.

shankar ji is really good as an overall singer. he is fantastic. for this song i think he fell a bit short. it wasn't his strongest, but it wasn't all too bad either. i felt some of his notes weren't polished enough. but he did put the right feel into the song. it was easy to connect with his voice because of that reason. the song wasn't a catchy one. for me it was average singing. his higher notes were ok, could have been more polished. i felt a bit of struggle in his voice in certain parts.

Final Rating: 7/10

im not an indian but i LOVE shankar mahadevan's voice.... omg he's such a versatile singer, he's mind blowin

I mean seriously .........

now this is something "haat keeeeeeee" in the post
cant think of selecting the song like this on this post
but as taken the chance so wel done
i hope the risk paid off well

the selection of the song is good
but i had thought different songs which will come but this is about a big surprise to me
but AR had given a good music to lates songs and i loved it the beats going in the back lovely creation by him
and about the singing of shankar its wonderful job done by him
but i want to see something different yarrr he had no limits in singing yarr

best preferable song this time was "Sapno se bhare naina"

my rating will be 8/10
song is awesome but cant satisfy with this one
lest hope to see better next round
