Ranjani & Gayatri should talk less during concerts

They sing beautifully. But talk too much to each other during their concerts.



They can talk and appreciate each other's singing at home. No need to do that in front of paying audiences.

Since both R and G sing well and share the load almost equally - compared to other duos (like the Hyderabad Brothers and Malladi Brothers) where one person tends to dominate - they need to co-ordinate more during their concerts. Despite this, they talk and gesture to each other a bit too much. This can be avoided.

PS: Ideally, R & G should also try and leave their family members - especially their restless and noisy niece (or whoever the little girl who created so much trouble for the audience at Brahma Gana Sabha on December 14 was) at home, when they are singing a professional concert.

PPS: Gayatri's raga alapana of Chandrajyoti at the Brahma Gana Sabha concert was simply brilliant.

PPPS: Interesting Kutcheribuzz.com interview with Ranjani & Gayatri.
