Megha rendered “Kaatumpoy Mazhakkarum poy” from the film Vaazhve maayam, Vayalar-Devarajan-Madhuramma trio creation. “ponnonamuttathu pookkalam theerkkaan unnikkidaavine thannepo” this line was too innocent and good one. May be tensed, she cannot able to convey the full life of the song. But it was soothing balm to ears. Megha sang reasonably good.

Deepak sang “Enikku Paadanoru Paatilundoru Penne..”, M.Jeyachandran superhit song from the film Evar Vivahitharaayal.. What a lyrics “Kuliraambala Thalir Koombi Nilkanna Kannu...Avalambiliyude Kumbililoru Ponne..”, Sinoj is the singer of the original version. Deepak singing lacking element was romantic touches. But overall it was a good singing heard from Deepak.

Nikhil looking smart in full sleeve and rendered “Nila Nila” from the film Tournament. Deepak Dev Sir’s very romantic song. The soul of the song has fully youthfulness. Back to Nikhil’s singing, Nikhil has concentrated more on technical side. Swaras placement was good. But he looked very comfortable and stylish on the stage. Little more modulations can be given to the voice. Leyam was okay. Overall it was a very good rendering with pretty neat presentation. Nikhil you are on the right track. I don’t know why judges were commented that Nikhil was shy ?? He is looking smart and polite on the stage. Nikhil Shiva - Come with brimming confident & work hard for the next stage rounds.

Gayathri rendered “Veenapoove Kumaranaasante Veenapoove” from the film Jeevikkan marannu poya Sthree. A MSV-Vayalar Magical song. But I have an opinion that Gayathri referred Janakiamma/Dasettan version ?? But her singing style seems to be different. I think she sang like an unplugged version of singing or remixed style of singing. But her voice is too good. Flow of the song was well conveyed. Feel and Leyam Factors were good. Gayathri seems to be an old Actress pattern of dressing, hairdo etc. Overall it was very good rendition heard from Gayathri.

Manmadharaasa…..National Anthem of Reality shows… Ashwathi kurup performed for “Manmadha raasa” fast beats oriented tamil duet song from the film Thiruda Thirudi ??. Voice adaptability was good. Little more throw in the voice is needed. Peppiness was okay. Some places were good. Dialogues delivery was good. Some places can do better. Overall it was good singing with pretty neat presentation from Ashwathi kurup.

Krishnendhu sang “Kannin vaathil” from the film Mulla, Vidhyasagar’s superb lullaby. Some places Krishnanendhu's singing seems to be plain. But she can do better. Leyam and feel is bit more needed to the song. Overall it was good & soothing rendering heard from Krishnendhu. But not great of her.

Another haunting song of Vayalar. Abhilash rendered “Vasumathi rithumathi” from the film Gandharvakshethram. Dasettan-Vayalar-Devarajan trio hit song. Abhilash could capture the soul of the song. Bit more dynamics can give to the song. Feel was good. Considering his age factor his rendition was very good.

Radhika performed for “Maariyamma Mariyamma” from the film Karagattakaran. Raja Sir-Chithrachechi-Vairamuthu Trio creation. Pep factor was little bit back. Can give more punch to the song. So listeners will get more vibes from Radhika’s singing. Costumes, Dancers’ Job, Choreography was awesome. Overall it was a visual treat to the viewers. Radhika’s singing was good.

Soorya Reshmi rendered “Arike ninnaalum” from the film China Town awesome duet song of MGS-KSC duo. Music Director of this song is Jassie Gift. Soorya Reshmi’s Pallavi was good. Later Anupallavi & Charanams had lot of imperfections. Even laypeople can analyse this song, because this song is registered well to laypeople. So minor flaws can be easily identified. But Soorya has to go through the details and every nook and corner of the song. Overall it was an above average singing.

Dileep sang Great Lyricist & Legend Director superhit song “Parijatham thirumizhi thurannu” from the film Thokkukal kadha parayunnilla. Dasettan’s great singing. What a romantic song ever seen in Malayalam Music Industry. Technically Dileep’s rendition was good in some extent. But Authenticity side feel and expression is bit more needed. So Dileep has to pay attention to weaker areas, also. But I enjoyed the portion “neelolpalamizhi neelolpala mizhi”. Overall rendering was good. But he can do better.

Aadungada Yennai Suthi ….. another National Anthem of Reality shows… Nikhil Nair performed for this song from the Vijay spicy movie Pokkiri Pongkal Singer of the original version was Naveen, son of Raveendran Master. Nikhil Nair maintained energy level throughout his singing. Dancers’ Job and Choreography was good. Overall it was visual treat with good singing also.
