Current mood: sleepy
Current music:Kanne Navamaniye (BJ's lullaby)

Vaatsalyam - a collection of lullabies by BJ
Bombay Jayashree's 'Vaatsalyam' which is a collection of lullabies in different Indian languages is sure to put the listeners to sleep.

Loved all the songs.
Especially the tamizh numbers (one by Kulasekhara Perumal, and another 'Kanne Navamaniye' a folk lore) have amazing lyrics. 'Omana thingal kidaavo' a famous Malayalam number is also so melodious to listen. I am planning to learn the songs by listening daily, but before i finish listening to one, i am in my deepest sleep.

Sunson-san!

I've nt listened to both 'Sujana Jeevana' and 'Sodhanai Chumai' of NithyaSri. But i've felt 'Sodhani Chumai' of BJ is quite good. And if you get a chance to listen to 'Sujana Jeevana' of Nedunuri Ji (one of the oldest and gr8 singers in AP), do that. My teacher learnt from him and taught it to me. She says it is different and more good than DKP's. I've not listened to DKP/NithyaSri's 'Sujana Jeevana'.

Fine.. When it comes to the 'normal unfledged listener' (assuming that he is more impressed by the voice or the 'husky' effect and the 'Bhavam'), he would appreciate BJ than NithyaSri is what my claim is, not taking into account the overall rendition and many other factors which you have mentioned.

nityashree's pronounciation is neither good though

If one hears tyagaraja songs by nityashree they can make out tamil touch in each one of them. There is this dravidian inclination in her presentation while music bereft of classical devanagari pronounciation is far from finery
