I concur with both of the remarks below. Beautifully expressed views. This singer is blessed with a divine voice, clear and precise diction and articulation. Look at his pronunciation in his song "vA vA en dvathiye" in "abhiyum nAnum"! Extraordinarily pleasing, soothing singing! Mellifluous, celestial voice; enthralling, exhilarating. Brings bliss and ecstasy to his listeners. The listener is ecstatic...May the Almighty bless “gAna gandharvA”….
