Here is the story, The guy in Black was the finalist at Indian Idol. He had sung this song during the competition, Shankar Mahadevan was so impressed that, when he was a guest, he sang the song along with Sriram. Sriram went on to win the Indian Idol that year and is now a singer and Actor in Telgu movie world

Shankar mahadevan is one the greatest music composer and singer india has ever produced. He composed some amazing songs with of course ehsaan and loy. This amazing trio is known as Shankar-ehsaan-loy.

@@birundha27 just want to remind you that just 2 yrs ago SHANKAR-EHSAAN-LOY produced an album called BANDISH BANDITS. And that album has 2 songs of Shankar singing. If you have any doubt on his singing just go and listen to his songs and that album. Mam this is HINDUSTANI CLASSICAL MUSIC, your skill increases as you age up unlike the shit western stuff that you listen to

[@xophiyah7101]

The thing about this song is the lyricism: it's so poetic & philosophical and about a kind of love that is unforgettable, that kinda love that drives you mad, makes you lose your mind, and sets you on a journey to find yourself. It's intense. And this version's pace is so frantic... it's taking me to some kinda church!!! Whenever it pops up on shuffle, I feel exhausted when it's finished because it becomes a somewhat immersive and all-encompassing experience for me... although, fortunately it usually ends in giving the feeling of catharsis so it's all good 😜

[@meloreader7073]

i have seen him performing this song in a live concert when he came to our campus.....it was spectacular......everybody was rythmic clapping along with the whole song..............i have seen a lot of indian singers concert in our campus since childhood nd all KK performances as they will make you sing along, Shankar's breathless performance & Agnee band's Aahatein (song) performance are my all time FAVOURITES

You should listen to him (Shankar Mahadevan) singing classical music and songs. He sings so effortlessly...!

[@sahilkale9348]

LYRICS ARE EVEN VERY BEAUTIFULL HERE IN THIS SONG

[@goldi5353]

Exactly what Waleska was saying about the lifting up of the chest or shoulder is normal when we breathe after singing a long verse or singing fast, but when this song is sung in any reality show they just edit it and hide the mistakes ...but the video you guys watch today was a reality show but the guy in black(SREERAM) singing with Shankar sir had sung that song on the same stage without any mistakes and also with no editing they telecast this episode same as it was shot.....you can see and hear him taking breath....and thank you guys love your technical talks......

Hey, it would be great if you guys can react to Falguni Pathak AKA The queen of dandiya. She is known for her traditional Gujarati songs but also she contributed so much to Indian pop in the 90s .

[@arjunsahay3951]

That was just half the song by the way.. the actual song(sung by Shankar Mahadevan) is actually divided in two parts... And the lyrics follow a pretty complex but a proper plot, the first guy is contemplating how he wholeheartedly felt in love with a girl who left him one day and now he is left deppressed- this was the first part, then the second part is how he recovers from the depression, gains back his happiness and becomes excited with his life once again, but then that girl returns one day and he gets all the flashbacks of the past, but then the girl apologises to him for leaving and says that she will never leave him again and the guy(its a first person song by the way) forgives her and then its like 'they lived happily ever after'...

[@apurvamandwekar6503]

Exactly biologically u cannot sing without taking a breath but it's the quality of singing and keeping the tempo....

[@supfloss8333]

You can try listening to a performance of this by Anuja Kamat to really hear the intricacies in the composition. It's an acapella cover, basically singing over a tanpura drone. Let's you clearly hear all the incredible vocal lines.

This was the last Indian Idol season that I followed. The guy next to Shankar Sir is Sreeram, he won that season. Next to him is hussain who is actually a very a itv actor. And next to hussain is Abhijit Sawant who was like the first Indian Idol ever. He actually hosted this season with hussain.

[@mail4sannu]

Shankar Mahadevan acknowledged that studio version is not in one single breath, but studio magic. Regardless, he is one of the greatest and his lung capacity is probably equivalent to those doing deep dives!!!

The earlier version you guys reacted to was actually a lip sync performance. This is live, like live live.

But nevertheless the melody is phenomenal and it's a very difficult song to attend to!

There are two kannada breathless songs I'd want to suggest.. 1) Maha Praana Deepam (movie- Sri Manjunatha, 2001) sung by Shankar Mahadevan in one take.. This song is actually religious mantras/slokhas chanted in form of a song.. The protagonist is challenged to show his devotion towards Lord Shiva so he sings this song and all the lamps in the temple light up on their own coz of his devotion.. Goosebumps guaranteed for some of us who've been hearing the song since childhood! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYHRmHeVjbKArdk 2) Onde Usirante (movie- Snehaloka, 1999) Sung by Rajesh Krishnan and K.S.Chitra also in one take.. You can hear in the song how they're out of breath nd that's actually real! Also parts of song are shot in one take.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqrNgaCuod-Uhrs

Shankar Mahadevan is Pandit Shankar Mahadevan and what it means in Indian classical music is that he an authority in classical music. He is trained in both Hindustani and Carnatic. The two guys in the audience are his partners and they go by as SEL (Shankar, Ehsaan, and Loy). You have to listen to their classical compositions from Katyar Kaljat Ghusali and Bandish Bandits. The guy in black is Shreeramchandra. He performed the song. That episode's theme is songs composed by SEL. Shreeram Chandra is the winner of Indian Ideal. The song is composed in Rag Yaman. 😂😂You saying both did good cracked me up. In Indian classical you learn to sing the composition in both aa and ee.
