Our YESUDAS is a gift from GOD

I could not think about my life without hearing the magic voice of Yesudas. My history can be divided by the songs by this magic singers songs on deferent times. How Mr. Sugathan could ignore this emperor of our times! He is really the gift from god.
-------------------------------------------------
Paniker Kuttan: Dear Agneyan, I don't agree with you. CELINE DION is the greatest singer of all time. She is indeed a Gift from God and nevertheless, she is the Angel Of The Music World.
-------------------------------------------------
Ashok babu: Hello Agneyan Iam surprised by listening to the topic u started. How can u say yeshudas is the good singer? If he knows what is raga, bhava and laya i could have agreed with u. The person who don't know abcd of singing and just sing similar songs good for nothing. How can u enjoy his songs. You listen to chembai classicals and jayachandran melodies. You will understand it. Why unnecessary talk.
-------------------------------------------------
Dear Ashok babu, Do you think that all including you are not listening to the sweet voice of Pdmasree Yeshudas! Do you think that all who honour him are not aware of ragha, bhava, laya?
Can you say that you do not feel ragha, bhava, laya in his songs? Do you think that a singer's reputation is limited to his vocal exercise?
At last can you just ignore him being a christian?
How ever, He is a God for me who gives me much imaginative power when i listen to his songs writen by vayalar, I angry with your comment about chembai and jayachandran, what about raffy?
My friend you need liberation in your thoughts,
liberation from the misconceptions,let us preserve our spiritual traditional music and at the same time let us make new ways,otherwise could you think that all in the past are talented,clever; than the present? No. every body is talented
try to believe that every body has the power to think, And try to think independent.

Dear syster, A trouth is a trouth even the whole world say it is wrong. Remember we made god but we are only human, the human made gods will have their own quality. This beautiful man, Padmasree K.J. Yeshudas is not at all a God. He also is living in our society and he also need survival name one person who does not need extra money,can you live without money? Let us look ourselves and say truely that we are all 100% good. I think those people who are against this great man are like emotional victims. This men is a great singer and the people who badmouthing him may better turn to our politicians. Are they brave enough! These are negative programmes for emotional peoples like you and do not be victim on their hands. These are trashes and you may delete all trashes from your brain,relax,.... listen to music.... any music by Jayachandran, Chembai, Raffy, Yeshudas... or any you like to hear.. Safe keep away from unwanted negative programming, we do not have to waste our energy for them. even if I say Yeshudas is not a good person; the truth will be always single, only single,.... may be in other sense called as// advaitham// if you like that word. let us say rose is beautiful first, Have a good day.
-------------------------------------------------
Joji: Lot of people here cant accept the truth even though they know it. This is because of their ability to accept and enjoy good things is very poor. If Jesudas is not here they will say Jayachandran is very bad, if both are not here they will say M. G sreekumar is a ugly person only because of mohanlal, priyadarshan,& his Br.. he is existing in the field. never mind it they are like this
-------------------------------------------------
madhavan: Yeshudas is a gift from god.I agree but you should not forget that jayachandran and m.g sreekumar is also a gift from god. Yeshudas is a good singer.
-------------------------------------------------
Chembai: Hello, You say Yesudas is a gift from God. But I say it is not true. Yesudas got a gift from God, which is his wonderful voice. He is not a gift by himself. He has not used the gift properly, Carnatic Music by singing improperly, so he is not liked by many people. He sings film songs and semi classical songs well, but his classical songs are not good. For example compare the Ksheera Sagara which he has sung with Chembai in 'Gurusmarana' and the Ksheera Sagara which he has sung solo in another album. Everyone will agree that the singing with Chembai is much much better. That is because in "Gurusmarana" album, he has sung it in Chembai's method, and he dare not change it when Chembai is there. But now, there is no one to question him
-------------------------------------------------
Tom: It is very painful to note that peoples see everything through the eye of Caste & Religion. Song is the language of heart and love is its religion. "Sangeetham" is like a "Saagaram" and i feel nobody has seen the depth, yet. Every single person is different in shape, nature and voice. If Yesudas sing like Jayachandran or like Mohd. Rafi, what will be the difference and how anyone can enjoy the difference. It is not nice to praise or curse Yesudas because he is Born as Christian, Jayachandran because he is Hindu. or Mohd. Rafi because he is Muslim. If u have love to another human being, u will feel the pleasure and enjoy the music irrespective of the person singing, otherwise in every song, you will only see Christian, Hindu or Muslim. Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul. And Music, it is the language of Love coming from deep into the soul.
Enjoy the music, and be happy.... Tom

joe: One cannot imagine the Malayalam songs scene without him. He is a giant in his field amongst the masses. The only Malayalam artistes known internationally are Mamooty, Mohanlal and Yesudas. There may be many other talented artistes around but its undebatable as to the talents of this trio in their respective fields. I got interested in classical music only after listening his tracks in 'His Highness Abdullah'. His soothing mellifluous voice is truly unique. It adds a whole character of its own to any rendition. Comparing him with other singers who may be techically superior, is missing the point why his fans adore him. Its not about technique, not about style or rhythm. They are in love with his heavenly voice. Its truly magnificient.

Swapna Raghu Sanand: Dear Friends. This contreversial topic on Das interested me a lot coz i come from a family that has been close to Das during his struggling years. I have grown up taking solace in the purity and beauty of his songs, i have met him and talked with him several times and found him to be the humblest person i have ever met. Even now, when i am so far from Kerala, it is his songs that give me a feeling of identity as a malayali. At the same time, I do not agree that he is a gift from God. His voice is a gift from God, which is why he is very humble. I also know from several reliable people that though he is very secular in his outlook and not partisan to any particular religion, he does not do any service to the society in any forml His singing is a profession as far as he is considered and he learned it the hard way. Believe it or not, his father who was a great singer died because he was too poor to get care from the govt hospital he was taken to.After that, my assumption is that Das decided that Pannathinu meethey parandhum prakilla and perhaps that is a reason why he charges exorbitant sums. It is also known that he has a strong sense of insecurity though all Keralaites respect him as gaana gandharvan because he was responsible to a great extent in recommending music directors against S Janaki playing the female lead voice because her voice seemed stronger and more dominating than his own. The cruel way he behaved to AR Rahman's father who was a poor musician in a studio is known in music circles which is why Rahman, who promoted young singers and even trained them totally ignores the existence of Das, those are all internal politics as there is such things in eveyr work place i am sure. I remain a fan of Das but i do wish to say it is foolish to worship him as a god because he has flaws like any of us, he has limitations and prejudices and selfishness like any ordinary person. He also has the strength of his image as a great singer while so many talented singers who may sing better dont get the platforms to do so, we should encourage creativity and the best way to revive music is to refresh it with younger talent. Singers like MG Sreekumar have years of sadhana and practice and not just the Priyadarshan friendship so its wrong to brand talented singers just to show Das as the best.IF Das is singing for money these days, it is his loss more than ours because he is misusing the precious gift God gave him,isnt it? Lets be objective and not blind about these things. If i have said anything to hurt anyones feelings, I am sorry. But i would like to get your opinions on this. Regards to all,
Swapna. (New Delhi)

**Yesudas Royalty controversy**
Hi Friends post your opinion about recent controversy over Yesudas demanding Royalty over other singing his (?) songs.
-------------------------------------------------
mALLU: I don't think its a right thing to charge ROYALTY.
-------------------------------------------------
Jojy: As for the royalty issue for a song, i would like to know who should be getting the royalty? The lyricist? the music director? or the singer?
Take into consideration of any song. Lyricist comes out with the words, if anyone else had written it, it would have been different. The Music Director who puts a tune to the words, had any other music director had tuned it, it would have been different. The singer who sings those words in that tune, if any singer sings it, it would be the same words and same tune. So, who should be getting royalty? I beleive only the lyricist and the music director is entitled for that. Again, performers in ganamelas, or stage shows should not be asked to pay a royalty, since they are the ones who indirectly increases the popularity of any song. If anyone tries to replicate these songs (like bringing out an album of old songs sung by new singers), that music company, who produces these albums, should be asked to pay royalty. this is my humble opinion.
-------------------------------------------------
Tom: Royalty should be paid to the creator of a song, the writer, the man/women from who's mind come the "kavitha". music director is just giving a tune to this kavitha. The singer use his sound only and he is not at all entitled for a royalty for the song. He can claim royalty if anyone imitate his sound, (Mimicry artists may be in trouble). Yesudas must deny the royalty claim by his son, otherwise, the great singer is also part of this claim, which is not justifiable.

DASETTAN IS LIKE 7 WONDERS IN WORLD
Yeshudas is something special you can see only once in a century.He is not only a singer but a
person of ability in various various fields.He is a gift from god which will be given only under special circumstance.I think what we keralites have done like sukruthum to have such a great great great singer in malayalam. DASETTAN IS INVINCIBLE.

Message: There was nobody in history of world such a great singer as yeshudas. It will be not enough if a small person like me praise yeshudas. If i start a temple for him and praying is not enough
for him,he is bigger than god.
-------------------------------------------------
Joji: Hi Dasettan is a GREAT singer in these era, But never he is GOD, he may be good, But not at all bad person as SOME NJERABMS shouts by referring mag.. Like CRIME .., he is an gift from GOD to music lovers.

An Artist having a direct influence on the culture of a region...one and only Dasetan. Dasettan can sing the song of anybody in the world. But that 'anybody' may probably have to be reborn a thousad times to sing like Dasettan. Dasettan: A Voice like Velvet, A Style Full Of Charm'.
