Rawat,
I think that's a regional thing. Ila's voice (/texture) would not have sat
well in Keda Kari. The rustic voices in Keda Kari is exactly what you would
here if you went to a typical village-wedding in the South. They are making fun
of the groom and bride-to-be and the emphasis on some words than the sentence
as a whole represents the real thing. There's also the stretching of some
words. Listen to Rukkumani and you'll know what I am referring to here. I think
the power of this song lies on the lyrics as well. Kata Kata and KedaKari have
been played exactly the same number of times on my playlist! Love them both for
portraying two distinct cultures so very beautifully.

Subject: [arr] Ila Arun's magic in Kata Kata missing in Keda Kari
about Keda kari, the female singers couldn't catch even 0.00000001% of
the magic that Ila Arun created in Kata Kata.
While Ila's voice comes crystal clear and assertive and sounds mature
enough to give advice, the tamil female voice needs us to strain to
hear, it fades among the drum beats. sometimes her words seems to be
each separately spoken, not merging like a sentence, as if she is
emphasizing on each word.
Have to add, that is my personal impression.
