A Telugu Song-Maateraani-Oo Paapaa Laali-S.P.B-Illayaraja Magic Again!
And finally I managed to get a nice Karaoke with which I could begin my innings in Telugu. I had been frantically trying to get one for so long since I have not sung Telugu film songs since I left Vizag in 1991. This one is Materaani Chinnadaani from Oo Paapaa Laali, a dubbed version of Keladi Kanmani in Tamil. This song was a rage in the end of the eighties as it started off a competetion of sorts among leading singers in singing songs which had stanzas leaving one breathless! We also have had Shankar Mahadeven singing breathless and also K.J.Y doing that occassionally in some Raveendran Songs. But nevertheless this song was a beautiful composition yet again by I.R and which attained magical proportions in the terrific voice of S.P.B which is always deep rooted in expression! Song: Maaterani Chinnadani
Film: Oo Paapa Laali
Originally sung by: S.P.B
Music: Illayaraja
Lyrics: Veturi Sundara Murthy

Hey is your mother tongue telugu? That was amazing. your voice just like SPB! Great collection of songs. Great versatility.Thanks.
Mee paata chala baundandi! Breath taking singing. How did you sing the two stanzas in single breath?
Beautiful voice too.Please sing more Telugu songs.
I am also from Andhra University. Thanks for informaing this blog. Excellent singing.When did you do your P.G?
It is very difficult to keep the pitch and expression in control in the two stanzas and telugu not being your mother tongue (i hope)it would have been a tough job. But the result is spectacular!I am speechless. Whay are you languishing in a teaching job? You should be singing in all languages throughout India.
I was just too thrilled to hear your song in a language that I am familiar with most. You have a wonderful voice and it was a Perfect reproduction. You got your heart in it.
This is a yummy treat in the morning. SOooo Good. Mmmmm… Your web log has become more adorable...
Sir, that was just out of the world! You are a terrifice singer in all languages.what an array of songs I find here.telugu, Tamil, Hindi, malyalam, English, japanese...my..my...is there any singer in India who does all these with such perfection? yest to hear one...God bless you for a bright future.

Amazing singing and diction is just very good.
Pradip san,
Your selection of songs are so special. Very good breath control...Sing a lot of Telgu songs..Heard that you had got prizes for Telgu rendition when you did PG at Vizag from one of ur interviews. Very lucky to have exposed to many languages.
Of all Telugu songs I liked "Bhavamulona Baahyamu Nandunu Govinda Govinda..." from Annamaachaarya. If you know that can you sing that ?
Your frequency of singing is amazingly requires a congratulation from we all music lovers....Go ahead and climb the heights.
---Sreejith
That was a superlative effort.Bindaas! How are you able to sing so flawlessly? Did you sing in the studio? Your Telugu is also immaculate and ditto SPB.

Pradip sir:
Excellent Singing.You are a model for all of us to have vesatality in song selection.
Am amazed to see so many Telugu speaking people here!
Priya> Thanks a lot
Bhuvaneshwari> That's good breathing techniques combined with good recording,editing skills(I still consider me a novice in recording. Have lot to learn:-) )
Rama> I did my MSc Tech in Electronics in 1991.
Krishna> If someone calls me I will be just willing to sing! I also wonder why :-)
Vijaya> Glad to hear from you after a lull.Thank you so much.
Murthy> Thank you!
Ganesh> Thank you Ganesh garu!

Pradip...am hearing this song for the first time, but I just have to drop a word that its truly LOVELY!!!!!
:)
Pradeep!
Loved the bhavam. You have done full justice to SP Bala sahab and his style. I wish I knew the language to make my comments more sensible. All I can say I enjoyed your rendition a lot.
You have an amazing voice. Great blog you have here. Congrats.
Cyril Alex
Your style and diction in whatever song you sing is immaculate.That is a gift.Also you have this great gift of singing in the original singers style(not blind imitation as some others do)without losing out any of the basic elments of sruthi, layam amd bhavam. Also when you sing your own songs you have a unique style and melodius voice to give the song a pradip touch as in Ennakkaruppin, Oo Sajna, Ashadam and like. Why don't you take up singing as a ful time career?
Narayanan Nair
Sitaram> Thanks pal! keep listening.
divya> Thanks.
velu> Thank you very much
Azam> Thanks
Cyril> Thank you
Narayanji> Thanks.Well I should have the right luck to go with talent. I too am in search for that extra something( I also do not know what) which would make me more busy and force me to take up singing as a profession. But all the same I am very happy in what I do now.
Excellent uncle. Enjoyed listening to it.
Swamiji. I am coming back after a while. This has become my late night refuge. I wanted to renew my request for one tall order of "Innumente Kannu neeril" (Yuvajanolsavam), on the rocks please :)
Thanks
Byju
Pradip,
Good show.
Just a few things that I noticed which are so different from the Tamizh version:
- Chinnadhaani and pallavinchi wordings correspondingly in Tamizh were more flowy and extended.
-In the 1st charanam "Kannipilla kalave naakikha logam" interestingly has slightly different notes in the Tamizh version. I am sorry I am not sure of the swara notation there...so I am not able to explain it better!!
Overall good job, nice mixing, and a very good karaoke.
Byju> I am looking for the track. Will sing as soon as I get it.
Meera>Can't help the wordings as both were in different languages and written by different people and sung differently according to the meaning mood and wordings, so the stress given to the lyrics are different in both versions.Can't expect exactly the same rendereng even by the same person at every place when he sings dubbed songs. He may give different expressions:-)See at the place of kannippilla in the telugu version. SPB has used the note "ma" to begin "kalale" while he uses "pa" to begin "Arugil" in the Tamil version. He has used his liberties to slightly vary both the versions. When I sang the telugu version I did not compare and hear the tamil with this one.After your comments I did compare both versions out of curiosity! I just tried to sing as he has in telugu, not the tamil version:-)
Pradeepetta. That was a skillfull execution of a wonderful song. I do not agre to meera manohar's comments. A singer has the liberty to sing two versions as he pleses.A comparison here between tamil and telugu is trivial and unwarranted.Only question is whether u have kept up to the telugu version and sung well.You have sung the song with excellent emotions and is technically a superlative effort.So why prick needles to wound when there is no illness at all.
Wah....Your voice is simply superb,mind-blowing...Keep going & attain more heights...With good wishes....
చాలా బాగుంది ! (chaala baagundi)
awesome!
Hi pradeep.Though,I had heard a lot about your blog,this is the first time I am seeing it.I feel regretted for not booknarking this wonderful site before.
I had followed almost all the episodes of Meri awaz suno and is one of your oldest fan.I don't understand Why you are keeping away from active music.Might be because of your job,I guess.
Now lot's of youngsters have already rushed into the feild.And some of them are well trained in classical too.So ,why did you miss the bus.
Still you are a very special name in kerala and you holds a distinct mark amongst the singers with the very win of meri awaz suno.
I just wanted to know one thing.May be you would have repeated that already.But as I told you ,I am new to this place.
What happend to that Yash chopra project,which was the prize of Meri awaz suno.
And sunidhi chauhan has already reached into heights.

Do I need to say more?!!! :-)
Sorry for being a bit late here.!
What a song ! Do you know Telugu?
I don't know..but...SPB's singing, IR's music.!! What a combo.
You've done a great job Pradip. Your breath control is amazing.! I think this is the start for more and more Telugu songs.!!
How about 'Aamani paadave Haayiga' from Geethanjali.!! Another Great song.
BTW - SPB is here next weekend...I am planning to go for both Telugu an Tamil concerts.!
Dear Pradeep, Excellent voice, rendition and great web design. My brother Ravikumar( colleague of your brother) introduced me to this site..Well..you seem to be already famous..still here it is to you
Dear Sir, Beautiful, Very nice to listen you at this time. Fablous voice you have and I am happy that you try in your own base.I too a great fan of SPB (My Guruji) and sing on track. Keep it up.
hi pradip. you were amazing. i would not have recognized SPB from you. i donno whether thats a complement or critique bcos you have it in you to come out on your own. i hope all that contracts posted on your website mature, and we will get to see more PS aspirants in the future.

very beautiful rendition pradip. One of my evergreen favs - fantastic composition by Raja and what a singing by the giant SPB ! You did perfect justice to the softness of the song. listened to it 3 times.
Sorry, have been deliriously busy with work and have nothad a chance to even listen to music such as this :(
Ullas> Thank you. Just a small advice. Please do not make the blog a place of war with words as you have done with Murali.Every singer posts with lot of enthusiasm. Please do not pour cold water on their enthusiasm. Be more decent and civilised in your comments and do not make violent statements even if you disagree on points made by others. Leave this to the person who posted the songs to respond.You will only make enimies in this way. Hope you take it in good sense :-)
rohini> Thanks
V_tel001>Thank you so much!
Jith> I do not know what else more I need to do than sending reminders and demos to all those so called music directors.Something must be lacking in me..I am not keeping away. Let someone call me...I will be very happy to oblige.I don't know what more I have to do than sing well and let my voice be heard.Tell me any suggestions ...
N.Vji> Thank you so much
Murali> Thanks for the comments.
Toufeeq> Thanks man
Raj> Thanks pal..
Special mention to Kovai Ravee. That was just wonderful to hear from you. Words from a hardcore SPB fan since 1980's is just out of the world! This is very special indeed.
Also many many thanks to all the Telugu and Tamil friends who took their time to post comments here. I will be posting more Telugu songs in the future for all of you!
Sheer Magic! This is the first time I am hearing the Telugu version of this wonderful Ilayaraja composition.
Sir, you did sung it superbly.
Small correction if you dont mind.
There is a letter "Ka" in Telugu.
"kannepilla kalale nakika LOKAM"
and there is no work like "LOGAM"

Hello Mr.Somasundaran,
I just happened by chance to visit your website and listening to your songs has made me very nostalgic. I have been residing in the US since 96 and things like this always bring fond memories back. You are a very accomplished singer and I wish you my best wishes. And please keep posting songs as they become available. You bring your own unique flavour to each rendition of the song.
Regards
Vijay Nagaraju
