Skyfall: Usha Uthup at TEDxPune

Ms. Usha Uthup is a Padma Shri Awardee. Little do people know that, when in school, she was dismissed out of her music class because she didn't fit in with a voice like hers. With very little formal training, she has gone on to become one of the most prolific pop, jazz and playback singers that India has produced. She attributes her success to the same teacher who later recognised her potential and would give her clappers or triangles to play and make musical sounds. This encouraged her to surround herself with music and become an advanced practitioner. Today, she is a household name in the country & beyond. She is known for her signature style statement i.e her big bindi, kanjiwaram saris and bangles.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

I grew up watching her performances in award shows and reality shows.. never realised the unique statement she made with her western and traditional combination. I understood her boldness only when i grew up. What a woman..! Pity we don't recognise such talents in our country.

[@vijayanandpjs]

Did she get her due? No why because we were conventional but she was traditional. Its a shame that such a talent is wasted.Time is not yet over. Wake up and give her her dues.

[@user-xnex]

Talent wasted ? She has got padmashree award.

[@paragajg]

It’s a treat to watch Ushaji singing Adele’s Skyfall.. kids this is pure talent minus the auto tune.

[@shilpashree4200]

Yes 🙌🏻 but Adele too has a beautiful voice without auto tune

[@srinivasamoorthy1]

​@@shilpashree4200 this is the height of your politeness. Wow!

This is the end Hold your breath and count to ten Feel the Earth move and then Hear my heart burst again For this is the end I've drowned and dreamt this moment So overdue, I owe them Swept away, I'm stolen Let the sky fall When it crumbles We will stand tall Face it all together Let the sky fall When it crumbles We will stand tall Face it all together At Skyfall At Skyfall Skyfall is where we start A thousand miles and poles apart Where worlds collide and days are dark You may have my number, you can take my name But you'll never have my heart Let the sky fall (let the sky fall) When it crumbles (when it crumbles) We will stand tall (we will stand tall) Face it all together Let the sky fall (let the sky fall) When it crumbles (when it crumbles) We will stand tall (we will stand tall) Face it all together At Skyfall Where you go, I go What you see, I see I know I'd never be me Without the security Of your loving arms Keeping me from harm Put your hand in my hand And we'll stand Let the sky fall (let the sky fall) When it crumbles (when it crumbles) We will stand tall (we will stand tall) Face it all together Let the sky fall (let the sky fall) When it crumbles (when it crumbles) We will stand tall (we will stand tall) Face it all together At Skyfall Let the sky fall We'll stand tall At Skyfall Ooh

[@stevencarter1040]

She sounds a lot like euthymic lead singer

[@davidwalter8]

[@eesitagos1761]

Adele is a different league. ..this one is no match for the original.

[@realist4418]

eesita gos it's amazing in a more fierce, demanding way. if she lets her voice carry more it will sound so amazing

[@severussnape8349]

she is over her 50 you should respect that...

[@syamantakchakraborty2833]

Who asked you to match actually

[@NeoHomoSapien]

[@YahMum69]
