I like to watch music based programs on tv and I am often floored by the talent that we get to see on some of the music talent shows. Especially some of the kids on these shows have amazing skills and I wonder whether they really enjoy any true childhood moments at all as they seem to be practicing for years to take part in these shows.
One such program is ""Paattu paada Vaa"on Vijay TV and I really enjoy it because it is more about the lyrics and not the musical talent. It actually makes us go down the memory lane to recollect the lyrics of our favourite songs. It also throws light on the poor quality of lyrics of the latest songs (""Excuse me, Mr. Kandaswamy" takes the cake among the latest ones.............there is nothing more to the lyrics except two words -"podi" and "poda") when compared to the old melodies. We are able to appreciate Kannadasan or Kalayanasundaram for bringing out the right mood with the right words in comparison to the muck we're put through these days.
Anuradha Sriram as the hostess does a great job. With mildly sarcastic comments and a sympathetic attitude towards the participants when they lose the game, she makes an entertaining host. All in all, a nice show with a different theme and quite enjoyable with surprise packages like actress Abhirami (who sang like a pro) and lyricist Paa. Vijay as participants.
