 Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Those are the sounds of men stuck in the bottom of a ship. At least they didn't implode. Hey, welcome back to our stupid race. I'm Rick. You can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, or 4G. You can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, or 4G. Speaking of that, do you see how Netflix capitalized on that tragedy? It's pretty awesome. Way to go, Netflix. Another win for you. Um, I saw something. You know what they should do? Next time there's a shark attack and seven people are killed, which that never happens with a shark attack. But next time it happens, drop jaws. That's a good idea. I saw somebody say that in July when Celine Dion and James Cameron are looking at their royalty checks and they were just dancing. Yep. I'm sure Titanic, like everybody was watching Titanic this past week. Yeah. Any pub is good pub. It's true. Even implosions. We got a video. This is actually Sid Sriram sings pop songs in Carnatic style. Okay. Yeah. Sid Sriram, amazing, beautiful voice. I'm assuming he takes some songs that aren't Carnatic and makes them into Carnatic. I would think that's pretty self-evident. Popular songs, I'm guessing that are internationally popular? I think so. Here we go. Odd to make it a silent video. So much music. GK here. Today we have a very special artist in the studio. We got Sid Sriram. Sid is a musician best known for his Carnatic style of singing. He's the widest. A Bollywood playback singer and songwriter. Thank you so much for being here. It's definitely not Sriram. I want to play a little game right now. I'm going to give you a few songs. I want you to transform them into your Carnatic style of singing. Cool. Yes, let's do it. I will say this is a super complex form. It's most probably closely related to substantially improvised music. So there's a lot of spontaneous. So this is like a basic voice exercise I do every morning. And I haven't done it yet today. So this is my practice time right now. It goes on. Wow. That's your turn. I don't know. So the first one we're going to go is Without Me by Halsey. Is it cool if I pull out there? Go off. I'm going to do the hardest riffs ever. I'm going to go to the hook. Let me see how I can do this. It might not work in my work. We'll see. Now it feels up there feeling so high but too far away to hold me. Two more. Is that cool? Super Model by SZA. SZA is popping right now. He's one of my favorites. I really like this new album. You don't know who she is? She's so fire. He calls me old. The first time I heard it it gave me chills because I thought maybe I recognize her song. I don't recognize her name. I'm sure you've heard it. His voice is so high. This is a fun challenge. Incredible voice. The height of this range and the control. Cardi B. Give him some Cardi B. Let's do this tribute to your favorite Canadian artist, Alanis Morissette. Cool. That's not going to be the heart. You know that song especially that unplugged version that has that little drone sound that I was playing before. That's a good choice. I've never heard this song. It's cool. It's got these minor things. It's an epic song. I'm getting the chills. You killed all of them. That last one was the best. Thank you so much for coming today. It was such a pleasure chatting and congratulations on your upcoming album. Thank you. Not a great time honestly. This was a nice way to spend the morning. To cap off the morning. I'm glad. Awesome. Well thanks for being here and we'll see you guys next time. Much love. Thank you. What a voice. Was he singing in Carnatic style? It sounded like he was singing. He was singing Carnatic style. He had to do justice to the original melody which is not Carnatic and then do his improvisational jazzy style of Carnatic stuff to it which he he did. The control that goes way beyond staying on pitch and having a vibrato. There's some stuff they do with their voice that's vibrato on crack man. It's just it's it's about as difficult a discipline as you can do with your voice. He has one of the most powerful voices we've heard especially in Indian cinema. In terms of He has an extremely high range. Yeah he has a absolute tenor slash alto. He's in the same range of of the really pop song high tenor voices like a Freddie Mercury or a Michael Jackson or a Steve Perry or what's the lead singer from Rush? I always forget his name. I always see his face but these are people who are tenor alto. They live in the high high range of tenor. Versus say a Paul McCartney who's a true tenor these guys I'm gonna tell you a question. Bass. Bass slash baritone. Slash alto. No, nowhere near alto. Nowhere near tenor. Yeah. Yeah it's once again insane that they're just asking people to sing on demand even though this looks like an English show but obviously she seemed American. Yeah. I'd love to hear more. I'm sorry it was only three songs. That Alanis Morissette's song is epic. I might have heard it. I think you may have. I don't listen to radio. It's super, super neat. Well that one doesn't get a lot of radio airtime. So unless it's like on a tiktok or somebody has shown me that maybe a year ago who Doja Cat was for the first time. I know now. She's not part of your listening life Doja Cat? No. I know I've heard her songs. I couldn't tell you one song. Or my wife had a dream. I had sex with Doja Cat. How was it? I don't know. She liked it. What about Dua Lipa? I found out who she was like maybe a year ago. Like Dua Lipa in your playlist at all? Like to drive and listen to Dua Lipa? I love Dua Lipa. And Johnny and I love Dua Lipa. I'm sure I've heard her songs. I can't tell you one song of her. So like the title of a song. Of Dua Lipa's. Even currently right now she has a song. It's a kind of a cover of Elton John's song. What? Damn. Now I'm thinking about because you mentioned Doja Cat. Like I said I know I know them. And now I'm hearing meet me in the middle. Who'd you say? Dua Lipa. It's on my playlists. I listen to it in the car all the time. Dua Lipa. Is it Dance the Night? Dua. Don't start now. That's one of her early singles. It's Leving's song. Cold Heart. Harden by you. I know the. If things look better baby. I know the Elton John one. Just passing through. Then she comes in and takes it from this song. Says. And I think it's gonna be a long, long time. Till touchdown brings me around again. It's her and Elton John. And he always does this weird. Instead of saying hardened by you. He says. Harden by you. Oh I'm a hardy. The things look better baby. You're missing out on some joy in your life. To not be listening to Dua Lipa. She has such happy great. Bop and dance and songs baby. Doja Cat does too. Between the two. I listen to more Dua Lipa. I'm sure I've heard a lot of their songs. But I just. I don't know what they are. That's alright. Do they sing anything by Baby Shark? No but I do think she's doing a guest spot on Go Dog Go. I don't know what that one is. Is that a kid show? Yeah it's a kid show on Netflix. I like Puff and Rock you watch that one. I like Puff and other things. Puff and Rock? No I don't know Puff and Rock. It's a good one. Anyways that was fantastic as always. Cid Charoms fantastic. Please let us know of those Cid Charoms songs we can react to down below.
