Was surprised that nithyashree is not singing considering its DKP centenary.
Its otherwise mostly as expected.
Will leave it for the pros to analyze......

Are TMK's disciples also skipping the season?

They probably wouldnt do it as they are still just getting established.
I suspect Vignesh or Rithwik will be in the afternoon slot.
Disappointed that sriranjani santhanagopalan didnt get a senior slot. She sings so beautifully and has mass appeal too.

I do not see any Sangeetha Kalanidhi Prospect in the lists released.Is it OST this time.Surely this time it has to be a vocalist.Vijaya Siva is not getting any chance to sing this year too or he is refusing to sing.

It could be Neyveli Santhanagopalan too.. But it will be nice to have a woman- Sowmya, RG, Aruna Sairam or Bombay Jayashree...

I bet it's going to be OS Tyagarajan this year . He has been given a Sunday slot . Comfortable . And lots of people would attend the concert since it would be a holiday . I hope you get my line of thoughts .

Are you addressing Music Academy? The rest of us do not matter.

it is too early for the above set.definitely none in the list though meet crowd requirements definitely fall short of the likes of Vijaya Siva ,OST and Neyveli santanagopalan.

how does ranjani gayatri fall short of the likes of those you mentioned?
They sing with sruthi shuddham, bhavam and sing all ragas (be it rakthi, melakartha or hindustani) beuatifully.
Noone these days can sing grahabeda like gayatri.. Their pallavis, viruthams, etc are unique.. Just because they are popular doesnt mean they fall short of anyone..

The likes of Vijaya Siva and OST have to get first if merit is the consideration.In fact they should have got a couple of years earlier.
