Poove Semboove-An alltime classic by Illaiyaraja
After a long layoff from the blogging world due to the shocking death of my dearest friend Philip and then a bad viral fever which gave me a long lasting cough and sinusitis, I am back again.This song has been one of my favorites all along since I heard it in the 80's. Even though the picturisation of this song was atrocious in the film, the song has lived through the ages due to the sheer compositional brilliance of Illayaraja, touching lyrics by Vaali and the mesmerising voice of K.J Yesudas!
I would like to thank my Muziboo friend Kumar Srinivasan for sharing the Karaoke track with me.

I could not understand a word but the tune carried me away. You sound wonderful. The voice seems fresh and heartwarming!

Valare nannayittundu. Ithu pole nalla ganangal veendum pratheeskshikkunnu.
Pradipetta,
Great to see you back after a long hiatus :)
It was nice and refreshing to hear your voice once again, although I didn't understand anything in the song.
The melody in the song kept me going forward. I enjoyed listening to your voice.

Pradip -
So glad to hear your voice after a time ... Really loved the song and your rendition
- Good wishes, Sandhya :)
Pradip
Nice to hear your voice after long time.
Is this key little high ? (I guess it is because of karoke), voice is little strained at the high range.
And I also find you have done little more vibrato than the original song.
Keep it coming
Nannayitund. I'd forgotten how much I used to enjoy this song. I was totally mesmerized by the depth in your voice. Wonderful. Keep posting...
meera, Preetha, Azam. Vijaya, Sandhya Ganesh, Vini...
Thank you for the comments...
Ganesh the pitch is not high..I did not feel any strain in the higher notes while singing. In fact I have sung it full throated. If you observe the original song you will see that it pertains to the style of singing the words at the higher notes and not the strain :)Regarding vibrato, it is only there at the endings where I sing Poove semboove..where it is required...other than that there is no scope for any excess vibrato at the other places since phrases are shorter.
lovely singing:) am glad to find such blogs..beginning n all was jus like KJY.. ur improvisations in places like pullanguzhal n all is great.. congrats:)
