▲ 26 r/Carnatic
What is your pet peeve in Carnatic music?
What is one thing that irritates you about how people sing?
For me it is singers who babble into the mic. In tamil it is called "olarardhu", i.e. blabbering some nonsense and not speaking clearly
There is 0 spashtam in their voice. Many "mahaans" of Carnatic cannot even sing the sahityas clearly and it annoys me to the T. It sounds like they are vomiting into the mic.
Even more, are people who cannot pronounce what they are singing!
"Maha Ganapathim" sounds like "Makhaaaa Ghanabathiuuuuuuu" 🤢🤢 Sounds like a spring going off. Not only are you saying it wrong. but you are taking away the beauty of the song.
If you cant respect the meaning lyrics dont bother singing the song 🤷♂️🤷♀️
