[ckh1982harish]

[GCLwins]

Look at the cutie's eyes as she thought about it for a while!

[ushasubu]

Dear hoteldota leave about other kids, you practice for a year or more if you like and post your video with the use of ur photographic memory DEVELOPED.

:-)

[hsaradatvm]

What is she doing now.... does any one have her recent videos?

[SMahadevanAcademy]

Amazing!

[srivijayabhat]

omi gosh...really really dumbfound.....

[horrible674]

ooooooooo,,i love this kid...........

[supersederofficial]

I love when Bombay Jayashree does hindolam maalkaus

[anpu62]

She must be a 're-birth' of any great musician!

[Flash6384]

Music is so cherished in India...I am pleased

[eneerr]

i don't get it....

what is it she can do? :)

[MrShaqtee]

@eneerr you will know when you learn Indian classical music....=)

[rarunadri]

@eneerr Indian classical music has thousands of ragas. Ragas are given names and they are identified by the notes and phrases for that particular raga. We music lovers go to performances and try to identify the name of the raga when the singer begins to sing like the lady is singing. The kid is identifying the raga in no time. It is an amazing fete.

[cookiecrums100]

What is her full name ?

[nemirn]

Thumbs up if the loud voice at 1:49 scared the shit out of you.

[botulinotoxin]

@nemirn and the face of the kid in the newspaper looks also scary...

[hoteldota]

singer is bombay jayshree good singer, secondly, i wouldnt be surpirsed she can identify the ragams. Lots of factors including that parents may have good intuition or her grand parents. IF u just sing the basic notes and identify the ragams its easy. Jus tlike learning. Not surpirsed secondly she may have aprt photographic memory, nah jokes but still, hav e u heard a sing? no. dont say WoW like Wolrd of warcraft, srsly think the factors, if u wanna know proz who were way better at their ages

[panchamkauns]

<3

[earth2ashes]

I'd like to hear this type of singing uninterupted. Where can I find more like that?

[panchamkauns]

@earth2ashes The singer is Bombay Jayashree. Do a Google Video search for her name, search for "long videos"!

[oromuisca]

she's as bright as her eyes..look how luminous they are!!

[balasri9]

The amount of knowledge,power and so the arrogance have been shattered and become meaningless by this musical wonder.God shows in many ways indeed.I am blessed that I come across this clipping.

[fizpopzz]

[vlddas]

I am more impressed with the singer rather than the girl.

[padhunz]

Poor soul looks boredddd.... Cutie!

[raappana13]

can someone please tell me WHAT is carnatic music??

[ornleifs]

@raappana13 - to answer you question, Carnatic music is the traditional or Classic music of south India, it is based on certain scales and talas or rhythmic cycles. The main form is raga which is a melodic form based on one of the scales. It includes both composed and improvised parts.

[XRandomXShinigamiX]

oh she's so c00T!

[youisfun]

Amazing! This video speaks much more than the prodigious talent of the kid. It stands a true testimony to the raga- based classification of Carnatic Music, which truly can be experienced only at a sub-conscious level. Music has to evolve, but this rigorous ragam classification should not be lost. Hail Carnatic Music (and music, in general) !!

[youisfun]

Oh yeah, second ragam is Mohanam and not Hamsadwani, but they differ by only 1 note, and I'd not be surprised if it was actually a confusion between names, rather the raga-identification

[JayashriV]

@youisfun: I realised that too, and was quite surprised nothing was said.

[rillloudmother]

@youisfun amen brother

[thephilosopherkartik]

This kid is amazing! I'm 17 and can't tell the difference in raga bhairava and raga darbari! She has a very bright future for sure!

[foobarsnow]

Incredibly cute kid!

[sennis1105]

that little girl has the most beautiful big brown eyes!

[cardinalrefuge]

That's crazy. What my parents would give for me to be like that! Props to this kid.

[ArgotMay]

You are worth more than ten million suns, no matter what your parents would give.

[artiperf]

இந்த சிறுவயதில் இத்துணை ஞானமா? சபாஷ்.

[mattdavisaerialphoto]

[Bushrraff]

Never! U couldn't have done that at that age! i AM SURE.

[sriki73]

pure genius!

[zaraindya]

this kid is amazing.,8th world wonder

[jifmusic]

what shite!

[nithinchinta]

motha fuker at least respect the child

[srravix]

That's a rather immature, myopic comment.

[saawariya39]

woe srinidhi ur a wonder kid!!! i wish a brigt future ahead!!!!! reckoning varnas in carnatic is not that much easy but this wonder kid made it easy ,ur gr888...... love music,live music....srinidhi.....

[skyglobalassociates]

ఇంత చిన్న వయసులోనే అంతటి ప్రతిభ చూపుతోందంటే ఈ పాప పెద్దదై ఇంకెంత సాధిస్తుందో...... చిట్టితల్లీ Congrats......

[TheLgfan]

I am 42 years (not formally learnt carnatic) and only now I am able to identify many major ragas. This kid is doing just like that within first few seconds... amazing and it must have been out of her punya/karma from previous births, for sure.

[balachandra108]

Was that Bombay Jayashree testing the child prodigy?

[Shaanujaanu]

wonderful.....hope she grows into an even better singer or whatever path she chooses.

[lucky033120]

she is a gods gifted one ..

she is improving her talent day by day..

now she became the winner of maatvs super singer title 09

[ajittffcure]

Incredible. I wish this girl all the best in whatever she does. May God bless her!

[vinojosaug25]

Unbelievable!! how old is she now?

God bless this wonder kid!!

[ButterBricks]

Whats happening ?

[sandeep5118]

wonderful creation

[tendral89]

all our 5 fingers r nt the same n our world is nt gng to survive by people dng sumthng mre practical,...music is another gift in our humans life,..instead of criticising,..y nt appreciate her talent n the unique life story tat she had brought to our unique world

[thesaral]

true- quiz game may be pointless, just as pointless and silly viewing youtube and writing such comments. hardly any one changes their opinions based on others' comments and yet we indulge in it- how silly and pointless!

[Anandrapaka]

Am speechless looking at this, I feel she is blessed well by sangeetha saraswathi. She is manifestation of Sangeetha saraswathi infact. What a girl ! at soo young age what a caliber. Really its her last janam fortune, and my this janam fortune to see her talent.

[thesaral]

It matters! Why stop at asking how carnatic music and dance help in world outside? How does numerous subjects studied help one do their jobs later? When was the last time you used algebra,calculus,organic chemistry,atomic physics in your job or get ahead in modern world? It is sissy to not to think through such! Music/dance are called fine arts for a reason. They make fine, refine temperament. Besides, teaching comprehension,discipline,goal setting and confidence-all to help get far in world!

[ckannan90]

why does it need to get you far? very few people actually do it to become a professional singer/dancer etc. do you watch movies to learn something? or do you listen to songs hoping the lyrics make you smarter so that you get a promotion in you job? no, you do it for fun. and engaging in the arts is just fun, whether or not you agree about it making you a better person or not.

[sahana0302]

WOW. god's gift

[HokieCricket]

Does this really matter? I mean who cares if she guesses some song or tune?? I mean will I even care if she sings or not?? The answer is no. I really hate it when parents bring up children by teaching them this music. The kids grow up to be sissies. I understand children need to learn about the culture and traditions and all but really? I mean knowing classical music and dance is really not going to get someone far in today's modern world. Please reply to my comment.

[ticklesitter]

I don't believe her parents "taught" her this music. It seems much more likely the child has an amazing attention and retention of melodic and lyrical content, something not uncommon among children. Her parents most likely listen to carnatic music all the time and she really seems to enjoy it. And for your last question, who f'n cares "how far you get in today's modern world" you sound like a soulless corporate robot, get a grip on what life's REALLY about. Carnatic music is the soul.

[ticklesitter]

oh and out of kindness, I recommend, you should take a vacation. It seems to me a perspective like yours typically will come from a "must succeed.. all work, no think, no play" attitude. I'm betting the tie around your neck is so tight the little vein in your forehead is forming a permanent wrinkle. Not very healthy, you are in desperate need of SLACK!!!!!!

[guitarguy1381]

Just because you're a totally uncultured, brainwashed sell out to western culture, doesn't mean that everyone that grows up "influenced" by the West, needs to abandon their roots and traditions. India is known for its richness in arts and culture and there's no better place for it than in its music. Get a grip buddy.

I was born and raised in the west, yet I still have respect for this music.

[Prchkmrn]

She is so cute!!

Amazing!!!

And her eyes are so beautiful!

[FaceTheReality1]

Wow! Amazing lil kid.

cute. Best wishes to her.

[xxxiskenderxxx]

sooo cute!

[adreno009]

awsome kid,

Kishorepalle, this kid and Idea Super singer contest winner Srinidhi are same

[ramans11]

very nice but don't turn her into a circus freak..

[nzpers]

She reminds me of Ravikiran, Sasikiran and Mandolin Srinivas.

[DU2241955]

Why everyone concern weather she is right or wrong? Why???????????

Please watch Sri Nidhi - Carnatic Music Wonder Kid Next in the series

OMG Amazing, she recognize the exact swaras and never sing Flat. As a foreigner I appreciate the girls talents a lot. Why Indians criticizes this cute little girl. WOW!!!!!! ..see how she remember all Ragas name. She is highly talented for her age.

[nanduwin]

wow excellent talent

[sri17ramya]

DEFINITELY A WONDER KID

[lagunasoul]

How wonderful and amazing!

Jai Sarasvati Ma!

[tvsundu]

Amazing, indeed. She is none but incornation of Goddess Saraswathi. or could also be an eminent musician like MS S reborn...pray for her elevation to much higher levels breaking all recirds !

[dimpel03]

simply adorable and talented!

[amanjsingh]

Cute, talented kid.

[daddylionn]

wow. great kid.

[musicaficianado]

Incredibly wonderful of the kid !!!!!

Is the second ragam mohana or hamsadhvani? I just have a small doubt...........

[djdashini]

super!!!

[prapullakaushik]

ok good

[uttara]

The second ragam she identified is wrong

[vpadmana]

Yes, she said Hamsadhwani instead of Mohanam and Bhoopalam instead of Bouli but I think we can overlook the minutiae. A very talented kid no doubt.

[priyamanitha]

How old is she now?

[mamasunbear]

the child's ear is impressive for the most part, but a good ear does not MS make.

[nerdstar9]

watta giftt! identifying raaga alapana doesnt alwayz cum easy but Srinidhi seems to have a gift!(she makes it seeem SO easyy)

[Goofy30000]

amaziing

[srikalyc]

god bless u sreenidhi !! I wish u should try to grow into league of MS subbulakshmi garu .

[adimuralikrishna]

really she is a gift to the carnatic music...this talent must arise

[bernadineborden]

Whats is going on here?? Im curious!

She has beautiful Eyes T^T

[thewretchedrod]

yes that girl has such a beautiful eyes..!

i don't know what its about i guess the lady "sings" mantras in a specific "key" and the girl tell the name of it... i dunno maybe im just screwing it up...:s wish some body could explain--!

[kishorepalle]

The woman who is singing is Bombay Jayasree, renowned carnatic vocalist. Everytime she sings an alapana, Srinidhi identifies the name of the raga. A little background, Raga is nothing but a set of defined notes, for ex, Hindolam raga (first one that Srinidhi identifies in the video) has Sa ga ma dha ni sa (arohana) and sa ni dha ma ga sa. Each of these notes have specific sound and is eloborated by the vocalist in Aalapana. Hope this helps.

[arabmudu]

even that she is too small to recognize Ragas names an all. Indian government not foolish to give awards like this. I think this cute girls habbit comes from previous birth. (sory for my english)

[amanjsingh]

Previous birth. LOL. I like your sense of humor.

[adistat]

Mr. Arabmudu's point cannot be brushed aside Mr. Singh. LOL is not a valid counterpoint sardarji!!!

[redchilli450]

@kishorepalle thank you. did give me some understanding.

[pings007]

Bhagavat kripa .. God Bless her more .. :)

[ramanath64]

She is so cool! She seems only 6 years or so!

[mylifmusic]

srinidhi was just 3 yrs at that time!

[mylifmusic]

srinidhi was just 3yrs old at that time...

[vijayattavara]

excellent

[roodawgy]

Ayaapppa

Epdi paadurra.

[thmaskedrider]

that was freaking...

[skaushik92]

Very surprising, but still very interesting....

[pimezon]

wow.. really beautiful cute kid. her eyes are so so so really beautiful.

[MrGoaMan]

@pimezon its because they put makeup on the poor kid

[sasa110]

haha i didn't recognise jayshree and was wondering how come voice sounded like hers. I thot the singer was pretty good...now I know why!

[Canonindxxx]

amazing.

[varaprasad3450]

Unbelievable.,fine work.

[emry01]

A great and inspirational video. The best part was she even identifies the swarams (which was in the other video). My little daughter loves this video. Though Srinidhi has grown up, this video is a treasure.

[felixiz]

muy linda

[nv85]

this recording seems to be pretty old. possible from the early or mid '80s. anybody wht happened to this girl, and where she is today? is she a performing musician? i dont seem to have heard her name anywhere recently

[kishorepalle]

She gives private concerts on some rare occasions these days and she is doing her B.Tech in Hyderabad now.
