Who is helping Malayalam music industry most, Yesudas or MG Sreekumar ?

Being a person with some basic training in Carnatic classical music, I have been following Malayalam music industry, both film music, light music, classical music for more than forty years now since my school days in Don Bosco Irinjalakuda.

I have great respect for Dr K J Yesudas, as a great singer but these days I get slowly disillusioned with his contributions to the music industry. The reasons are given below.

The singers like MG Sreekumar, M. Jayachandran etc. are taking part in talent shows of younger stars and are giving them great encouragement. But I do not see this encouragement and motivation coming from Yesudas Sir. Being a great father and a parent, Yesudas tries to  promote his sons to the music industry, but rarely have I seen him promoting new budding talent. 

Even though the whole Malayalam music world considers Yesudas Sir as a demiGod, why is Yesudas Sir turning his attention away from the youngsters, who have all potential to be singers better than Yesudas sir imself ? Why is he not motivating and encouraging youngsters in the music field ?

On the contrary, I am surprised and taken aback by the selfless support and encouragement given by MG Sreekumar to the Malayalam music scene for the past many years. Sreekumar takes great interest in motivating and promoting youngsters to the music world. 

In the past two years watching Top Singer musical talent programme on 24 channel on Flowers TV, I have full praise for MG Sreekumar for the great service he is doing to the music industry. The way Sreekumar motivates and encourages budding singers to do their best, to never mind if they commit mistakes, if they fail  he motivates them to do better the next time and tries to be one among them. All these speak talks volumes of the great mind and good intentions of MG Sreekumar.

I have great respect for Sreekumar Sir as my elder brother, he is very valuable to the Malayalam music industry. Sadly Yesudas sir is showing signs of age and tiredness, does not care about budding newcomers..  I am extremely pained at telling this truth.

I bow my head in front of MG Sreekumar who is doing a great service to the Malayali youngsters. MG deserves the full support and respect of Malayalis from across the world as much as Yesudas sir, if not more ..

I hope Yesudas Sir would now devote more time with the budding singers of today motivating them, if so, posterity will be thankful and remember him for ever ..

George..
