Chilling vibrations could be felt when she sang Bo Shambo, as though Lord Shiva himself came down to witness the event. Shobana’s true professionalism and confidence was displayed when she attended to special song requests from audience. |

Her fiery brigas in a comparatively high pitch lent a unique quality suitable for the old devotional numbers she chose to sing that evening. |

Sulekha Review, December 2006 (1)
Each of these was rendered with grace and poise! some were relatively soberly, depending upon the sahithyams. In Meera’s KAATRINILAE VARUM GEETHAM (originally sung by M S Amma), Shobana revealed that she could modulate her voice so marvelously well. |
|
|
Sulekha Review, December 2006 (2)
Her presentation was soaked in deep devotion. Her mellifluous diction deserves appreciation; the niraval, swaraprastharams and captivating kalpanaswarams demonstrated the amount of sincere practice that this young singer has put in.

Classy and Mature.
The New Indian Express - June 26, 2005
Vocalist Mahanadhi Shobana’s voice has an inherent blend of sweetness and depth. She displays an astonishingly expressive range, acquired no doubt through meticulous training and practice. This research scholar in music, tutored by Swamimalai Janakiraman and Prof. T.R. Subramaniam, has a touch of class and polish in her delivery.

Shobana's mature debut
Indian Express - December 29, 2002
The Keervani was a specially imaginative presentation noted for its
fine modulation and traditional form no gimmicks, no undue flourishes,
but pure aesthetics bound classicism (Sampradaya music).
Shobana rose to meet well earned audience appreciation.

Music to your ears
The Hindu, Sep 27, 2004
"I decided even when I was in school that music was going to be my profession and have stuck to this decision despite my good scores in Commerce in Plus-Two. I love teaching and have an idea of starting my own music school."

Track Queen
The Hindu, November 7, 1997
Having performed on par with all time greats like S. P. Balasubramaniam,
Malaysia Vasudevan and Unnikrishan speaks volumes
for Shobana’s talents. This is one nightingale we are going to hear for a long, long time.
