Two interesting points in a TVS concert is- He always starts a concert with Ganapathy. His MA concert also started with "Virutham"- Karpaga Vinayak Kadavule. Most of other musicians deserted Ganapathi. "Bechara" Ganpat does not have any takers in Dec season !!!.
Second-about his daughter. I oberved in MA -in order to reach his fathers style and neraval she is going all out. In this process, her face looks like "Nityashree at her young age". Closing her eyes, raising her head, do not want to see the crowd !!!!!. The advantage she has it, excellant musician father as her Guru and not bracketed by Sadas or other music fraternity, give her a slot and spoil her carrier.

I did not see Nityashree at her young age. I assume so from the way she sings normally.
Another interesting point I observed-
In his MA concert, half the hall was empty when he took main "vachaspathy". Was wondering where was the full crowd enjoying the previous day's TMK Concert ?
The crowd who clapped TMK, when he SIMPLY repeated Aarohanam and Avarohanam of Rudrapriya, in his Neraval- did not even clap when TVS finished the song/Raga. Very sad...

The main reason for people not turning up for TVS concerts might be he is keep on repeating the same set of krithis nowadays. And also his concerts are more predictable. Especially you can predict the main raaga based on the sub main ragam he takes. Following are some classic examples
Sub-main
Vasudevayani - Kalyani or Adamodi (Charukesi)
Main
Either Sukhi Evaruvo (Kaanada) or Indha Sowkiyamu (Kaapi)
If he sings Etavunara (Kalyani) then he will give Thani on that and there will be a RTP.
And also you can easily identify whether he sings RTP or not based on his main raaga-krithi combination. For Etavunara, Kaana Kankodi, Kapali, Chakani Raja he will sing RTP. For non-RTP concerts he mostly sings, Indha Sowkiyamu, Sukhi Evaruro, Akhilandeswari, etc.
