All of this is very good, but she fails to use the arudi properly during renditions of mel kala neraval. Instead of using the 9 akshara gap to render a long akara phrase (which her training and voice is suited to do so), she says the word before the arudi (paramesha) and continues to the uttarangam. Otherwise, a lovely musician who reminds me a lot of Nithyasree in her early days in terms of raga alapana style.

Every Pallavi seems to have the spacing distribution pre-Arudhi to do a transition like that - cutting short the line in slower speed and do rest of the words or a whole pUrvAngam in higher speed. But may be the length of the kArvai post-arudhi made her do that - not sure if that is intentional or a crutch! Even if it was used as a crutch somewhat creative one at that!
