Thanks Thulasi for posting the article. Even I was about to post asking for who this 'Sayanora' is. I liked her Tamil version immensely for her excellent stylish pronounciation. I just loved the way she sings 'Eddie Murphy pol naughty'. She complements perfectly with ARR's style...but I didnt like her Telugu version much.
