My all-time favourite SRGM(P) contestant is Vijay Prakash.

I'm normally quite bad at deciding on my favourites. But as for favourite SRGM(P) contestant, my mind is very clear, for a change. His timbre -- the gravity of his voice is the decisive factor.

See for yourself...

And now, something special...
Link>> Vijay Prakash - SRGM 1999 - Raag Bhopali

It's been ten long years, he is still to gain a footing in Bombay film music. Although AR Rahman has used him in a couple of songs (his voice can be heard in the 'jai ho' refrain), I feel he deserved more.

PS: The sound quality of these videos is not up to scratch and audio-video not in sync. You may not get the full effect.

Duet with Shampa Kundu - SRGM 1999

I cannot think of any modern day singer singing this song any better. I have kept in mind all the leading singers of today.

Then, compare VP with the likes of Mika and Neeraj Shridhar. It'll again remind you that fame, awards and recognition have often very little to do with talent, and vice versa. Vijay Prakash is still a small-time singer.

Great singing but what a sad plight for a great singer.

Vijay Prakash is nowadays busy as a judge in Suvarna channel's music competition. He was earlier a compere on Zee Kannada's SRGM for married ladies about two years back. Fabulous  voice and pleasant personality. He is not totally neglected, here are some of his songs listed on musicindiaonline.com

Hindi songs



Kannada songs



Great to know that there is a Wikipedia entry for Vijay Prakash which was not the case two years back when i wanted to share information at the forum

I don't know it's time or ARR that has tampered with his original divine voiceπŸ˜’. Weirdly VP is sounding pretty much like ARR!😲
Still Vijay Prakash is wonderful.

Thanks MG for finding this link...VP did superb job...His voice has the depth and classical base is superb...He did not sound like ARR to MOI but each one hears differently...Unique...
 
I remember VP singing this one totally classical rendition during SRGM 1999 contest and I can't find it...He was sooooooooooo good...His voice was more deep and heavier the kind I like during that time...
 
I also saw him singing Lat uljhe during C-2009 when he came as guest promoting "Yuvraj" movie when Sallu was there...Thanks for sharing...
