[MrRaj54]

MMI, GNB, SSI, MLV , MS are all God's gift to this world. Let us not even contemplate to criticise them. We don't have any "Yoggithai" to utter even a single word aginst these immortals

[SOMASUNDRAM100]

@MrRaj54 well said. 

[kuttisamiyar]

GNB,MS,MLV, all are great no question abt that..MMI is top in swaras and style .....what a innovative singing.....

SUCH A MAGNATIC VOICE T H A N K S

[Gurubala1]

Madurai Mani or Madhura Mani? Many Carnatic Musicians like GNB, Semmangudi etc. were known for frequent deviations from Sruti while singing a Kriti. Madurai Mani Iyer was known for adhering to Sruti throughout his concerts. He has rendered more concerts than any other musician during his short lifespan. None can beat his inimitable style.

[bgk42]

@Gurubala1 while i'm not disagreeing with the fact that MMI was inimitable or that he was a great singer and known for adhering to shruthi, i don't see why you should cast GNB or SSI in poor light with and i don't agree with your assessment of either of them.

[SOMASUNDRAM100]

@Gurubala1 As we age, there is a tendency for our voice to unsettle at the lower sa. This could be due to the heat generated .
