sanjaybhai, i think u have done an excellent job here. In the first line, I was struggling to get the variations in the word 'jaane' and cd not succeed. But you have got it right there! I think the slow numbers are your forte.

One area of improvement i can think of is...though the song is very slow paced, some of the words in the song are sung quickly. But I did not find such 'fastly sung' words in your song. No need to worry. I think when you have a tabla accompaniment, then things will fall into place. Because, each cycle comes with a deadline, and at the end of the cycle you will realise you have to sing so many words. Singing songs like these without tabla is like working on a project without a deadline.

Oh My GOD!!!!! Sanjay and Harish!!! First of this is cut to cur philosophical song. It tell you about the nature of mind!!! And also tells you so vital aspects and realities of life!! I would LOVEEE to dedicate this song for you all here!!! I dont have the karaoke track BUT I will try my BEST to sing it as good as possible. Just give me few days, let me hear the original and also Lata and Kishore's version of it!!! I have to study a lot and practice also a lott!!!

One more thing, GEET has posted one song here but I have noticed that her song post is not yet appeared here. Even I saw her last post after few days!! Anyone has any idea about this issue?

cYbOrG is on leave till 9 Nov. All messages of new members are moderated and hence will get posted only after 10 Nov.

OMkarbhai, where can I find LM & KK versions Man Re?

Harish dada,
I have both vesions, if you want, though Kishore da version is not in very good quality.
Sanjay

Harish dada,
I agree fully, I tend to get a bit slower when singing without track (this is just a sign of getting too much into the song while singing). A track definately helps.
What I like about your singing is your voice remains so clear throughout irrespective of low or high pitch, and it appears you are at ease while singing.
Thanks
Sanjay

Sanjay, thx for your compliments! Actually, I have exactly the same problem (slow singing) and that is why I recognised it in your song. I have done some deep thinking on this, and my hypothesis on this is like this. (I might be totally wrong on this though). There are 2 types of people in this world. One who give higher priority to 'swaras' and the other who give higher priority to 'taal' or time. Of course, for great singers, they can do both at the same time. For me, I grope around to get the swars right (of course, all this happens in milliseconds) and ultimately we get the swars right, but in the mean time, time beats us. Other people get the beat right, but most often, while reaching on time, they go slightly off-key.

In the chat forum, I have asked whether any member of HF has any experience with synth keyboards.

Can anyone here help?

Harish,
You are very right there. Slight delay occurs (keeps on occuring) as the mind and ears want to make sure the "swara" is met (correct). This happens especially when there is no background track (which many times hides/masks the flaws in singing or "swara").
Sanjay

Harish,
Forget about the gr8 singers re!!!! But really I slightly have different thought when it comes to singing. According to me, in Meditation and Music (forget abt meditation here), a person has to break the boundries and try to explore different unknown areas!! A singer HAS to sing ALL types of songs, according to me THEN ONLY one can ENJOY the singing!!!

Harish, Sanjay and Anwar.... Always try ur best NOT to restrict urself to one type of songs only!! And this is not my opinion for you guys... BUT this is my order!!! Just kidding re!! But really, try to sing as different songs as possible!!

Chalo bye for now.. Baaki Baad Mein Padhunga!!! One thing: Lets please try and help GEET out!! She is a lovely singer with lovely voice. IDOLbehengji would also learn lot and lot from her!!! Is that alright Khobibehen?

Chalo!!!! Now here is the time to post a DUET song of OMkar and Bhavana!

Friends, first of all let me thank Bhavana for allowing me to sing with her! When you hear the song, you will clearly notice that she is extremely talented singer!! She not only sings in perfect SUR but also very good in giving expressions in the song! One KADAK salute from me to Bhavana!!! I recorded this song two times. When I recorded it first time, I was not happy AT ALL... All night I was only chainging sides and thinking how can I sing much better (ofc, I still feel I can sing much better than this) but for TODAY this is the BEST I can sing. And sincerely hope that you all would love my voice and everything!!

Following are the details of the song!

Song: Dekho Maine Dekha Hai Yeh Ik Sapna
Sangeet: Rahul Dev Burman
Geet: Anand Bakshi
Gayak: Amit Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar [OMkar and Bhavana]

This is a HUGE surprise OMkar! How did you manage to incorporate the youthful 'andaaz' of Amit Kumar? Listening to your song one can guess that the original is sung by Amit Kumar! One area of improvement if I may suggest...your voice wavers a bit. If you ca practise singing 'aaaaa' for a long time in a very consistent decibel level, it may result in a quantum leap. Also learning classical music for a couple of years will help.

Coming to Bhavana...it was difficult to believe she was not Anuradha Paudwal. Has she modelled on her? She has a very beautiful voice and bang on technicals (sur/taal) Her diction is also like Anuradha Paudwal which can improve. Pls tell us more abt Bhavana. Is she your friend/relative/neghbour? Is she on HF?

Arey Harish, thanks for ur suggessions. Wherever u find the waves, believe me it was kept intensional. I can send you the Dry copy to hear if u want. In the original song Amit Kumar has not kept waves but these days I am practicing on waves a lottt. I want to make a practice to bring waves in my song. It helps enhance the expresions in the song. And for keeping 'aaaaa' longer time, I really found that simple (which looked like) 'Aaaa' very difficult sometimes. May be lack of concentrations. Par koi Baat Nahi, I will hear the song carefully, I will when I get time, I will try to rectify those mistakes. Thanks for ur critical comments

Coming to Bhavana, she is a member of eSnips. Ofc, I have requested her to join Hamari Mehfil. Let me see if she find this place interesting!! She already seen the Mehfil... Lets see how it goes!! Bhavana is really talented singer. Even I felt her voice like Anuradha Paudwal!!! So sweet voice!!!

OMkar Bhau,
Kya baat hai, sabko duet ki que mein khada karke aapne chup chaap duet pesh bhi kar diya. Koi baat naheen hum dekh lenge. Just kidding..
Bhau, You appear nervous in the beginning, but you get better and better then after. I can understand your sleepless night (lagta hai duet ka asar ho). Overall, very well sung, and sure as you felt, you could do better than that as you get used to duets. Voice is clear, notes are right and wavering is marvellous.
Bhavna ji kya kahena. Woh to professional lagte hai. First I would like to welcome her here. I agree with you all her voice is sweet, she renders beautifuly with correct notations and her voice resembles a lot to Anuradhra ji. I enjoyed this DUET song very much. Keep it up.
Thanks
Sanjay

You are right Sanjay. OMkar bhai ne hum sab ko line mein khada karke ullu banaya

I could not wait any further. I straight away went to Ashaji and requested her to sing a duet with me.
