My feeling is that Yuvan is singing because there is so much hype, so much money involved!!! Because Yuvan has a constituency of his own and GVM may probably want to capture that vote bank :) As KV said, lot of us out of touch with the current reality where people don't worry about voice quality but would love some 'cool' songs from different voices. We have two ways to react, Accept the reality (which Raja seems to have done) or take a stand like Bala(K) did that Yuvan singing such a song in Raja's music is a great crime. We will know how the song is received once the whole song is released and also on how the song is used in the picture. My honest feeling is that most of Raja fans are over reacting. I don't listen to much of Yuvan's music nor am I a fan of his singing but I thought the outrage here and on twitter was disproportionate to how the song was. Maybe my ears adjust to bad singing better :D
On the topic of another professional singer making TIS a better album, we have discussed it multiple time. Pardon me when I say this but people like Jai and I think such a statement is a joke. We are 100% sure, no one else, just no one else, could have sung TIS better.
