Does anyone noticed the capability of K.J. Yesudas to emulate the voice of almost all heroes while singing mallu film songs for them? Is he the number one mimic in kerala? I believe so and it is for your input………………………………………………………………………………………….tx.

  yeah.. he did well while singing ponnambal puzhayirambil in harikrishnans. He puts the sound variations and sings well. thats not mimicry :) mimicry artists cannot sing in Lal's voice. How this guy manage to sing for Prem Nazir to Kunchakko Boban !!! He is the only person in malayalam film industry who survived so far with no loss of popularity and capabilities! Great person.

  Yesudas is not the only singer who sung in dfferent sound for different people. SounderRajan used to sung in different sounds for MGR and Sivaji. Rafi sung in a different voice for Johny Walker. Mukesh really fit into the voice of Raj kapoor as yesudas did with Naseer.
  Coming to female singers, S.Janaki has also great talent to sing in differen voices.

  Yesuadas can sing for anyone except Mohanlal & Jagathi. When he sings for Mammotty it feels like that Mammotty is singing it. But for Mohanalal and Jagathi I think that MG Sreekumar is fit for that. If you've see Padakali from the movie Yodha Sreekumars voice fits Jagathi but Yesudas's voice in my mind doesn't fit mohanalal

  Eatho Nidrathan & Harimuralivaram in my mind were not the great mohanlal - yesudas combinations. The best overall was pramadavanam & ramakadha. yesudas's late 80's early 90's mohanlal songs were the best, but i still think that mgs was fits better and it is maybe he has had better songs with mohanal.

  mgs fits well when singing painkili songs.. remember kasthooori ente kasthoori...

  Mohanlal is one of the best actor to make most natural lip and body movements during song sequence. Raj kapoor and Shammi kapoor are other two at his level. So he can make good combination with Yesudas as well as MGS. MGS benefitted a lot because of his suitability to sing for Mohanlal. remember films like Chithram.

  please dont compare MGS to KJY, it is futile.

  hey sree we aren't comparing mgs with kjy we are comparing who can sing better for mohanlal. kjy is overall much better but singing for mohanlal both are good

  You said it Narayanan.
  Yesudas is without doubt the best singer in Malayalam cinema. But we should not forget that other singers have also given so many hit songs to us. Old malayalm song are so rich because of the distinct voices of Yesudas, Jayachandran,A.M.raja, Kamukara, Udaybhanu, Brahmanandan,Anto,Mehaboob ...Unfortunately some people can hear and appreciate Yesudas only.
  This thread is also an example of blind heroworship. Can we distinguish the songs he sung for Sathyan and Naseer? Or Mohan lal, Suresh Gopi and Dileep? He is a very good singer.But pls dont belittle others contributions.

  we really have quite a few good singers. i thought mgs was noone compared to yesudas. Then i heard his hindi song in "Kabhi na kabhi".. That song sounded better than any other hindi singers.. Then i know mgs is far better than other hindi singers:)... SP is good.. Other than that i don't know anyone else who is really good. in malayalam we have unnimenon and venugopal both are good. Thank God.
  
  
• From: vibhu (@ dialpool-210-214-145-41.maa.sify.net) on: Mon Feb 11 07:24:58
  
  problem with Unnimenon and venugopal are they just imitate Yesudas. they dont have a distinct style. MGS is comparatative better in that respect.
  Dont forget our good old Jayachandran. he is still around though not very active.

  about biju narayanan, he is the worst personality in malayalam music. i met him once and he was just horrible person. i really hope he doesn't get songs ever again, but with the problems between Vidyasagar and mgs he will continue singing

  what happened narayanan?
  
  
• From: Narayanan (@ umd84-75.d.umn.edu) on: Tue Feb 12 09:26:19
  
  what happened so that i hated biju narayanan. in 2000 he came to a concert here in minneapolis. before he started the concert he criticized the people in minneapolis for not having top of the line equipment. then when he did sing he would not sing some songs. after the concert i was talking to him, he talks like he is the best singer in the world, and he is just rude

  nice thread, nice discussion/exchange of information about singers in malayalam.
  
  I am so pleased to see another nice thread for Dasettan..obviously the most dynamic, versatile, macho, bull singer...film industry has ever seen.
  
  If we start talking about his plus point in vocal capabilities, it would take a very long time to complete.
  
  As mentioned by some of you, MGS is a good singer, but cant be compared to the multi facted Dasettan....but it is true that MGS fits MOhanlal 1 step slightly better than Dasettan...
  
  Let nice information exchange like this continue in this thread.
  
  My Love to all you Dasettan fans!
  Nyaan Dasettaninde Valliya Aaraadhakan aanu!

  hello sweetland enna dasettan,
  
  u r very happy.why?It was super from ur side about"MULTIFACED DASETTAN" is the truth.
  
  You can read from the magazines the multifaced capabiltities of him.
  
  You know very well that there is no other good singer as pj and atlast u were imposing some coments on him like"STRAIN " and he made vocal operation so on.
  
  why all this drama?You don't know that JAYACHANDRAN is the anashwara gayakan in malyalam?
  
  You will know it.We will try to do our best for pj.WE ARE LIVING AND DYING FOR PJ!

  Dasettan is geneous, god gifted and ever great.He is not only a Guru of every one but also generates devotion and affection to the mind of people. As far as I am concerned I am fully depend upon him and following the lanes of Dasettan only which has given me a lot of experience and ability to sing .... Manoj Edayaranmula

  M g Streekumar (not sreekumar) is worst; he can never become a good singer. dont compare him with KJY.

  i just dont get it..admitted yesudas is good..the only reason he became this famous in malayalam is 'cause he pretty much ensured that no other singer got a chance when he was around..look at the new talents..i mean, vidhu prathap, unnimenon(sidelined by the great yesudas),jayachandran(again sidelined),mgsreekumar and who knows hom many singers never got a chance..thanks to the great yesudas..well done maestro.. good voice..no involvement though. look at new singers like afsal..sometimes a lively performance is much better than just having a good voice..sorry yesudas lovers.i do ilke his songs..but he is not the greatest..he did do all he could(tactics other than just singing included) to make himself the greatest..how cheap..
