Subbudu in Indian Express:
"... This generation may not be aware that there existed a
nightingale named Vasantakokilam, whose music was divine. Those who
have not had the good fortune of hearing her sing may do well to
listen to a young girl, Pushpa Sriram. They will get an idea about the
tonal quality, melody and flexibility of Vasantakokilam's voice.
Pushpa's rendering of raga Mohanam was classical and enchanting. She
will go very far..."
SVK in The Hindu:
"... In the spirit of Youth concerts organised by the Music
Academy, the inaugural concert by V C Pushpa Sriram spoke of the good
training she has received from her guru. There was simplicity in her
rendering of kirtanas. One redeeming feature is the way she uses the
natural voice unlike many reputed women artistes who swear by false
voice. In the raga alapana of Kharaharapriya followed by the kirtana "Pakkala
Nilabadi", she revealed she has a feel of the raga's essential
features..."
Malavika in Dina Malar:
"... When we listen to some concerts, we have a feeling that
the artiste will go very far. Pushpa Sriram is one such instance. She
sang like a veteran though she is quite young in age..."
RV in The Hindu:
"Promising Artiste: Young Pushpa Sriram showed good
promise in her vocal recital, trained to sing in a lively style. She
has considerable melodic force..."
K Sundar Rajan in Trinity Mirror:
"... Pushpa Sriram who has the potential to make the grade
has absorbed MLV's nuances. Her Mohanam alapana for Dikshitar's
Pahimam Parvati was noteworthy..."
Eenadu Daily:
"... She touched the hearts of the audience by her
exposition of the flowing nadam in her kirtanas, brimming in
Annamayyah's poetic words (Pada Kavita). She has confidence (no
doubts) in her capacity and music, no diffidence at all..."
The Indian Express:
"Impressive: The voice culture of Pushpa Sriram, a
promising artiste is impressive and especially suited to the mike. The
exposition of raga Kalyani was good. The kriti Ammaravamma, set to
Khanda Chapu, with neraval and kalpanaswara was rendered in an
elaborate manner..."
