MG Sreekumar, an invaluable asset to Malayalam music industry
Throughout this period of two years I have been impressed by the humble presence of MG Sreekumar. Though a great singer himself, he has a very tender and loving heart. Throughout these two years, he has never got upset at the performance of the children at the event.
During these two years he has never, even for a moment, tried to show off that he is a great singer, though the Malayalis world have great appreciation for his golden voice. Though he pulls the legs of fellow judges as much as he pulls the legs of the very young competitors too, never has he left any scar in these young tender minds.
After every performance he very softly points out the mistake, but reminds the singer that he/she is indeed very talented, only that the particular moment is not his/her's. Then he gently prods the singer to try his or her best again next time. I am sure the young singers very much like to hear such expert training sessions from the master.
Malayalees are very much upset that the greatest Malayalam singer Yesudas does not have any time to spare for the budding singers of Malayalam cinema, the result being that Yesudas will only be remembered for his songs but not for his humility or a helping mind. The selfless dedication of MG Sreekumar to shape and mould the future singing prodigies of Malayalam cinema is something remarkable and unforgettable. Malayalees world over will forever be indebted to MG.
I am sure Malayalees world over would agree with me and we all in one voice extend our deep appreciation and gratitude to MG Sreekumar for the great and selfless service and dedication to the Malayalam art world.
We will forever remember MG's great service in helping mould the future singing prodigies of the Malayalam singing world. A big Thanks Sir .. !!!
The kind gesture of inviting the child prodigies of season 1 as special guests to listen, prod and motivate the fresh singers of season 2 is also a first-in-the-world step in encouraging the youngsters .. A very kind gesture. No words can express our gratitude for the kindness Colours TV is showering on these young promising singers ..

How to overcome the trust deficit ??
Monday, October 5, 2020
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..
