The fact one of the greatest singers to ever be recorded is acting like a newcomer eager to impress, shows the true love for music she has within her. That's how she (and only a few more) manage to sustain their careers at the highest level for several decades.
She is not trying to impress anyone. It is because of her own quest for perfection for which she has trained for decades that even a single imperfect note is not acceptable to her.
18,000+ songs....🧡 20+ Languages....💜 6 National Awards...🌸 9 Filmfare Awards...❣️ 36 State Awards from different states of our Country 💫 One and Only Legendary Padma Bhushan *Dr.K.S Chithra*
She had no reason to re sing or say it wasnt right because it was just a interview n they asked to just sing few lines ..yet she sang again and again to just perfect it even in an interview...shows how humble n great personality she is...salute to Chitrama... 🙏
KS Chitra was introduced by Maestro Ilayaraja in tamil cinema. She sang the first song 'boojaiketha poovithu' (Neethaanaa antha kuyil, 1985) beautifully with Gangai Amaran (Ilayaraja's brother). The composition was extraordinary. Chitra also sang the song 'thathithom' for the film Azhagan (Mammooty, Madhubala). The carnatic portions were gregorious. The music was composed by Maragathamani. Director K Balachandar introduced him in tamil cinema as in that name. His real name in telugu was Keeravani, the Oscar winner for music compositor. This song is worth for reaction.
Keeravani's full name is Maragathamani(MM) Keeravani. In Telugu, he goes as MM Keeravani and in Tamil/Malayalam, as Maragathamani and in Hindi as MM Kreem. He just won an Oscar :D
Chithra's first tamil song are padariyen padippariyen pallikkudam thanariyen and Nanoru sindhu (film Sindu bhairavi) in 1985 2and film was Poove poo choodava song : chinnakkuyil padum pattu kekkutha Chithraji's Tamil nickname Cinnakkuyil Chithra, Neethana anthakkuyil released in1986.
Our beautiful beloved Chitra Maa/Chitra Amma/Chitra chechi❤♥️💞🙏😍😀💕 Always a happy pleasure and deepest honour to just view her anywhere and the divinely blessed singing is just a supremely added bonus to her auspicious presence.Thank you dear Rick❤ and dear Korbin♥️ for reacting to this wonderful interview -They did a great job just as awesome as Prabhu Sir 's❤That smiling face is extra special because Chitra chechi stays that way consistently inspite of everything (good or bad)Chechi goes through.Super proud🙏💞🌹
I guess why singers are often asked to sing a few lines is so that the people can be privileged to have heard those amazing singers live, in person. It also helps to showcase how talented they are even without music. It may seem disrespectful as if people doubt their capabilities, but it's tantamount to their talent.
She sung a semi classical song 'venu madhava' in one of the telugu films. When I heard that song in theatre I got goosebumps. I won't forget such wonderful moment.
Awards give recognition and appreciation, this composition has got recognition and appreciation 100 times more than any awards can give and it's still getting appreciated by people like you 😁, that's more than enough
@Universe Bombay was submitted for foreign language film that year. Do your homework please. The Academy had seen the film. It was shortlisted but did not get to the final nominations.
@Universe the procedure was followed dumbass. They did campaign for the film. The Academy voters had shortlisted the film which means that they saw it but didn’t think it was worthy for a nomination
Very true... I always wonder how she does that... even after losing her only child in a tragic way... Unbelievable. Same case with singer Swarnalatha...Amazing people.
KS Chithra is my mother’s favorite singer and since I turned 12 she is also my favorite singer. My son discovered her when he was 10 years old and is obsessed with her. So I took him to Canada to attend her concert with my mom last year. And 3 generations of my family was completely blown away by her genius even at 59 years of age.
10:08 There are talented people, good singers, great singers, legendary singers and then there are gods and goddesses in singing. You can't ask just about anybody to sing. But you can ask the gods & goddesses to sing a song and they will happily do it for you. Chitraji belongs to this category.
She is sweet. Isn't there anything similar with p.suseela Amma? Someone should introduce korbin and Rick to p.suseela amma's classics. I think she is the first receipent of national award. And has the largest number of songs to her credit among all playback singers in India.
So a funny story that the late great SPB-sir shared about working with Chitra-maam. Chitra-maam's mother-tongue is Malayalam. In her earlier days working in the Telugu industry, she didn't know the Telugu language, and would write the lyrics in the form of phonics in Malayalam in order to pronounce them correctly. SPB-sir's mother-tongue was Telugu and he was her senior in the industry. He was also a bit of a sweet natured prankster. 😅 So in one particular recording, SPB-sir offered to read the lyrics to her for her to write down in Malayaalam. But the lyrics he gave her were totally different and in fact were words that were cussing out the director and music director. But of course, innocent Chitra-maam wasn't aware. When it was time to sing, she sang what she had written down. All the musicians were in fits of laughter while SPB-sir feigned innocence and shock. While the shocked Director and music director asked Chitra-maam why she was so angry with them. And she was almost in tears, saying SPB-sir was the one who taught her the lyrics. And everyone had a massive laugh about it. SPB-sir absolutely adored her like a little sister. And loved her innocence and good-nature. And he always would talk so highly about her.
I still feel Chitra amma hasnt been recognized all over India as she should have been, same is the case with legend S Janaki too... They get all their appreciation only in the South of India.
Probably one of the most loved and respected artists in the country today, so blessed to be born in this generation and being able to listen to her voice. God bless you Chitra chechi ❤️
Haha, it's almost like an insult in India if you don't ask a well-known singer to sing. They regularly break into a capella in all kinds of situations. It's like, what, you think I can only sing with autotune or instrumentation? Am I that bad? I was kidding on the insult part, but it would have been extraordinary for Shreya/Kaushiki or anyone of their calibre not to be asked to sing a few lines. Next time fellas, do ask them to sing a couple of lines. Hearing you sing live, even a capella, will make my day.
No offense. She is for me the greatest female vocalist to come out of India. When she judges reality shows she would point out mistakes to contestants face even in latter rounds unlike some judges like neha, HR or vishal. I miss the days of shreya, abhijeet judging shows.
so u think mistakes shudnt be pointed out and let them sing it wrong and let ther be no improvement in their singing?..keep praising them even if they sing bad?
You must listen to her song "Karmukil" from Malayalam movie nandanam, a song for Lord Krishna. It's said that everytime she sings that song on any stage she has tears in her eyes.
You should see some episodes of Malayalam singing reality shows.. you'll get a better idea of how important are these perfectionism by classically trained singers.. especially judged by Sharat, chithra, sreekumar, etc Even other south Indian shows
Here when there is an interview of a singer.. 99% they will ask them to sing.. audience love it singers knows that and i think they love the love they get for it❤
You guys started the video about swimming pool, Sadly KS Chitra lost her one and only child in a swimming pool accident. She and her husband tried a decade+ to have a child. All those happiness didn't last long. No wonder why she has to be a workaholic and escape the memories.
She is not great because she sung this or thousands of songs.. she is a legendary singer because she as a vocalist is always ready to try and man she doesn't compromise on quality.. she gave it 4 attempts and was still unsatisfied.. she would have tried it again after the interview in her personal space. Practicing student for life.. that's why she is a great person and a legendary singer. You request 2 lines of a song from any genuine Indian singer, they will sings. They feel honoured because they sing for their listeners not for awards.. that makes them happy... The bond here is beautiful because no one is judging all just want to be part of the songs.. Those interested check the Bombay soundtrack out... Amazing compositions yes, but look at the dynamic range on those tracks, it's very rare to hear such daring sound mix these days. What a beautiful soul, I want to be a kid like her at that age..
Chitra went into severe depression for years after the tragic death of her beloved daughter in 2011 in a swimming pool in Dubai. It was heart-breaking for everyone.
This channel is dedicated to a r rahman and his career and has interviews by lot of singers and technicians who worked with rahman sahab..u guys can do lot of episodes from these..

Exactly.. She has no idea how great she is.

🤣🤣🤣👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️

Chitra amma is one of the humblest and sweetest humans ever! She's like a child at heart.

It’s not boojai bro, it’s poojai. Sorry for correcting
@@sanjuvolks right
Keeravani's full name is Maragathamani(MM) Keeravani. In Telugu, he goes as MM Keeravani and in Tamil/Malayalam, as Maragathamani and in Hindi as MM Kreem. He just won an Oscar :D
My favourite song poojaikketta poovithu neattuthane poothathu ...
Chithra &Ilayaraja's voice
Chithra's first tamil song are padariyen padippariyen pallikkudam thanariyen and Nanoru sindhu (film Sindu bhairavi) in 1985
2and film was Poove poo choodava
song : chinnakkuyil padum pattu kekkutha
Chithraji's Tamil nickname Cinnakkuyil Chithra,
Neethana anthakkuyil released in1986.
If you noticed when she kept saying her voice is not good , at end she started in Hindi and finished in Tamil

Chitra amma is divine gift to music.
Her humility despite her incredible talent is so inspiring. Beautiful person inside and out.

Chithramma❤️the one person I want to meet and talk and want to take blessings from....my inspiration..
She is one of THE most humblest singer/celebrity out there in India ❤️ her contecious smile is so pure ❤️
The Bombay theme is A R Rehman’s greatest work. It should have won an Oscar.
Awards give recognition and appreciation, this composition has got recognition and appreciation 100 times more than any awards can give and it's still getting appreciated by people like you 😁, that's more than enough

Agreed.
@Universe can you pls brief out what is that procedure bombay team was lacking that time
She's great even when she sings acapella. Love her good-natured smile and humility. Geniuses are humble.
Love Chitraji… so talented yet so humble.
she radiates such kindness and positivity, you'd never guess she'd gone through such tragedy in her life (like losing her daughter).
Very true... I always wonder how she does that... even after losing her only child in a tragic way... Unbelievable. Same case with singer Swarnalatha...Amazing people.
Chithra chechiiii... Proud of India... I am too proud because she is from my state..
I love her “Aaiyyo” so much 😅❤
I love the way she claps like a 5 year old kid. Her inner child is activated all the time

Great legendery singer from India(chitraji)
Definitely waiting for the 2 nd part of this interview❤
She is sweet. Isn't there anything similar with p.suseela Amma? Someone should introduce korbin and Rick to p.suseela amma's classics. I think she is the first receipent of national award. And has the largest number of songs to her credit among all playback singers in India.
Such a humble soul 😍
Chitra ji, Great female singer.
18000 songs ? Wow. The chances are that she will still remember the 7148th song and will easily sing with perfect feel and diction.
In Tamil Nadu everyone calls her Chithra amma she is a mom figure to us. 😊
@Rick why she sang it again and again was not because of any complicated notes or dynamics, Its simply because her voice became shaky toward the end😅
So a funny story that the late great SPB-sir shared about working with Chitra-maam.

All great legends joining together (ARR+Singers+Lyricists) and giving a magical song like this. Thank you all.
So pure voice touches my heart this song .all indians favourite
She is just that perfectionist that she couldn't even let singing a small bit on an interview go wrong.
Probably one of the most loved and respected artists in the country today, so blessed to be born in this generation and being able to listen to her voice. God bless you Chitra chechi ❤️
She only had one daughter and by a bad accident she lost her😢. Yet she is a mother to everyone and smile. A great women❤
Woman
This is a series on the career of Rahman saahab , this interview was one of the 83 + part series (still ongoing)
Haha, it's almost like an insult in India if you don't ask a well-known singer to sing. They regularly break into a capella in all kinds of situations.
It's like, what, you think I can only sing with autotune or instrumentation? Am I that bad?
I was kidding on the insult part, but it would have been extraordinary for Shreya/Kaushiki or anyone of their calibre not to be asked to sing a few lines.
Next time fellas, do ask them to sing a couple of lines. Hearing you sing live, even a capella, will make my day.
legend singer always to be legend...
Humbled and blessed to hear here!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Chitra amma always great voice ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Chitra our golden voice forever ❤❤❤
No offense. She is for me the greatest female vocalist to come out of India. When she judges reality shows she would point out mistakes to contestants face even in latter rounds unlike some judges like neha, HR or vishal. I miss the days of shreya, abhijeet judging shows.

@@Rakshasan34 that is why I pointed out here. Praising for the sake of praising doesn't really sit well with me.
@@Rakshasan34 lol you lack reading comprehension.
@@pritamraghuvanshi450 when he started with no offense it confused me..
@@roboticsforlife got it 👍
You must listen to her song "Karmukil" from Malayalam movie nandanam, a song for Lord Krishna. It's said that everytime she sings that song on any stage she has tears in her eyes.
Chithra amma is gift of God to our movies❤
Shes our neighbour and my mom grew with her..she remembers how Chithra was was always reminded not to eat oily food or some fruits
You should see some episodes of Malayalam singing reality shows.. you'll get a better idea of how important are these perfectionism by classically trained singers.. especially judged by Sharat, chithra, sreekumar, etc
Even other south Indian shows

Not an iconic voice of South India... But the whole of India❤
favorite .. KS Chitra
From the year 1995 to 2023 my favorite song is Kannalane...
She is not great because she sung this or thousands of songs.. she is a legendary singer because she as a vocalist is always ready to try and man she doesn't compromise on quality.. she gave it 4 attempts and was still unsatisfied.. she would have tried it again after the interview in her personal space.

She is so humble! Hariharan is great but he is not as big as Chitra. But she still talks about Hariharan with so much respect.
Many thanks guys for celebrating our Indian Pride..... ♥️
