  Sorry, but there is no merit in Politics & Acting - its mainly influence & pulling strings.
  if your father is a big politician, you can also become a big politician quite easily eg.
  the Kennedy family, George Bush Sr and Jr. If your father is a famous film director or
  actor you can also become one easily eg. the Fonda family, Brando's, Kirk douglas -
  Michael Douglas etc. Also its pretty easy for good looking women to become actresses
  by taking off their clothes.
  
  There is merit only in science & sports. its very rare to have the children of famous
  scientists or sportsmen to become famous as well. eg. Einstein's and Planck's children
  never became famous sceintists and Jesse Owen's children never became famous
  sportsmen.
  
  True merit can NEVER be inherited. Fake merit such as Politics & Acting is by hook &
  crook, influence & pulling strings.

  I think he said to prove that none can really be a best music director!!!

  Actually I just read some of his other posts. And frankly, I think he's an idiot. Go to the 2005 decider of superstar thread to find out.

  Along with YSR and HJ, Vidyasagar is also consistent in producing hits in recent times.
  
  Except for his passion for Udit Narayan, I think Vidyasagar has shaped up into a reliable MD now-a-days. Lets wait for Chandramukhi though!

  VDYASAGAR- CHANDRMUKHI & JI--- SAAVADI
  DEVA - DEVATHAYAI KANDEAN-- VERY VERY BEST
  BHARATWAJ- AYYAA -- NICE
  AR RAHMAN- DESAM -- GREAT COMEBACK
  YSR -RAAM -- STILL THE BEST
  
  BUT WATCHOUT A KING IS ABOUT TO COME IN FEW DAYS TIME
  WITH MUMBAI EXPRESS....... NON OTHER THAN ONE AND ONLY

  After IR, my fav these days is YSR. Avarkitte ilamai thullal irukku, Isaignani touchum irukku. Pulikku piranthatu poonaiyaguma?!

  It's got to be a toss-up between Ilayaraja and ARR.
  I mean, obviously all these guys, Vidyasagar, YSR, Harris Jeyaraj - they're all talented - but they just don't have the kind of range that can measure up to IR's or ARR's body of work. not yet, anyway. maybe, 10 years later, they;ll be comparable.
  anyway, that'll be the right time to compare because the true measure of good music is NOT how much it sells, but how long it lasts in public memory !! we still hear people singing "ilaya nila" and all those 80s IR numbers even today. will we be singing "ennai konjam maatri" and "devathaiyai kanden" 10 years later ? hmmm ... i dunno !

  how about bharadwaj, ramesh vinayagam, ranjit baroth, siva??
  
  enna alaghu was a masterpiece from siva
  
  minnal oru kodi in vip was another musical treatment
  
  bharadwaj still get decent offers, but he is not among top mds in kollywood.

  IR is on a different plane altogether.
  
  Media hype, sugar-coated remix masquerading as London/Broadway musicals, techno-wizadry, creative bankruptcy, loops and the numbers game are well below Ilayaan's pedestal. Let the mortals fight it out while He creates....

  Awesome AA.. I wont accept that ARR is better than IR...IR is born genius...How many swaras and raagas came frm that single Harmoniam..Impeccable! I guess ARR is just a keyboard expert thats it with a little knowledge.His songs are not evergreen harldly u can say 50 songs thats it..But IR OMG!!!
  "Naan Paaadum Mouna Raagam...."
  "Vaigariyil..."
  "Ooru sanam..."
  "Thendral vandhu (Avataram)...."

• From: alwarpet_andavan on Mon Jul 25 8:11:01 2005.

  1. Becks, for me, IR is God and ARR is God's son, a prodigy
  2. Cellvi, about IR, waterloo, "market" etc, IR is not playing that game, and hence there's no question of No:1, "his place usurped" etc....
  He is not in the field anymore for money or fame. You'll be surprised to know how many films IR rejects. And as for your numbers game, YSR/VS are way above ARR at present. For e.g my ears ooze out blood on seeing callers in Sun Music request songs from Thirupachi and Madurae, but they are chart toppers and VS has been consistently giving hits. By your definition, that would make VS > ARR!
  3. By reducing IR's work to "just classical stuff" smakcs of something else!
  Its like saying "Oh Mozart, yeah, i respect him but he just did some classical stuff... nothing quite like Bombay Dreams or Anbe Aruyire"..................

  I clearly told u that IR touch has lost in cine music, and i never mentioned about number game, bcos every MD's are talented in their own way. Among those i rate ARR as the best thats all. As for IR rejecting film offers, i dont know about that, what i know is still he did some so called music in Karagattakari tyoe of movies, and also composing for some forthcoming films.
  
  IR's work is not Just classical stuff, but excellent classical stuff, which i do agree, and what he did in thiruvasagam is simply mind blowing.
  
  But the fact is he had lost his magic touch in movies.

  Lets start a IR-ARR war here too... Did you guys read the title of this thread? Who's the best MD in recent times.. ARR hands down.. true IR ruled the music industry during 70s, 80s and even to a certain extent 90s.. but most of the 90s and the naughts belong to ARR..
  
  A Ah proves it.. mindblowing songs
  
  

• From: karthik_sa2 on Mon Jul 25 14:36:00 2005.

  IR is a musical genious.its just that arr,VS and yuvan have all made some good music TAHTS ALL.but no way they cud be compared to IR or MSV the legends.ESspecially when it comes to rerecording IR is the number one.he just sits up with a paper,pen and completes the notes even without playing them.that is something that not many music composers will be able to do.chorus,violins,shenoy and great chordings-IR is the best.pls listen to ennule ennule from valli that one is enough to describe about RAJA.also listen to 'yaar andha nilavu' by MSV.u will then realise that it makes no sense to compare the grets like MSV and IR to arr,vs and ys.
  
  

• From: Nerd on Mon Jul 25 14:38:46 2005.

  Agreed, karthik.. but see you should not compare ARR with the likes of YSR, VS etc.., He is in a league of his own.. he ruled the 90s with his music and it cant be denied.. There are only three 3 musical greats in tamil cinema, MSV, IR, ARR and the other kids have a long way to go
  
  

• From: karthik_sa2 on Mon Jul 25 14:50:39 2005.

  harris jeyaraj sucks big time.most of his songs r his own replica or copies from arr.i dont understand y people over rate him.as somebody quoted ramesh vinayakam,karthik raja,barat r all underrated.it happens mainly bcos harris somehow manages to get big banners unlike all the other music directors.on the other hand YSR <other than 7g and manamthan>gets only low budget or debutant hero made movies but still manges to come up with great music.most of the low budget or small banner movies come under notice only bcos of yuvan and later the film manges to do well<thulluvadho illamai,raam,arindhum aryamalum etc>so yuvan is the best!!
  
  

• From: karthik_sa2 on Mon Jul 25 14:55:37 2005.

  i agree arr is better than VS,BARADHWAAJ AND YUVAN.but in recent times esspeciall after 2000 i see arr going down.so yuvan will catch up that position soon.he will be the next arr.
  
  

• From: Nerd on Mon Jul 25 14:57:04 2005.

  But Yuvan's Dass sucked big time.. ARR wasnt down, recently.. His AE and New were both huge hits, musically True that yuvan is a good talent..
  
  btw, KR was terrific in dumm dumm dumm
  
  

• From: karthik_sa2 on Mon Jul 25 15:07:20 2005.

  yes i agree.Dass is a patchy work indeed.very unlike yuvan.but for that filnm he has been dominatinating 2000's.as u said karthik is also a wonderful young talent.but he is very much under rated.ullasam,dumm dumm dumm,ullam kollai pogudhae,kadhal kadhala were all great hits.but still he is under rated

  both of them made tamil cinema what it is today.

  Not only he made hindi ppl listened to tamil music, its he who breached the North-South divide in popular music, gave a new
  sound to film songs, and made music for the millennium.
  The album Vande Mataram, is a pride for the nation. He always wants his music to meet international standards.
  He has been crowned as "MOZART OF ASIA" by British Press for his BOMBAY DREAMS.

  True he made N.Indians listen to Tamil songs, albeit a very few songs.
  One grouse i have with the N.Indian listeners is the have little tolerance for our music. I found this when i lived in Delhi and Mumbai. They listen to Hindi numbers dubbed from Tamil at the same time maintaining a callous condescension to the original numbers. I can show you Anuradha and her hubby Sriram giving Hindustani concerts (there are lotsa TamBrahms singing Hindustani) but none north of the Vindhyas cares to look at carnatic. And i feel ARR kind of compromised in taking Tamil music to them in that he catered to their tastes but unfortunaltely retained the Hindustani and Sufi (big time) flavors in Tamil songs as well. Even when the situation called for nativity (songs & RR), he would choose hindustani Alaaps or Sufi "aah ahhh" sounds.
  And he has a lot of scope for improvement as far as his Tamil diction is cocerned.
  About standards, as IR often says "there are no standards, whether its international or otherwise". The very phrase implies an inferior feeling of our own music, which is has a much evolved and rich tradition.
  "Mozart of Asia" for Bombay dreams? that's a joke not to be taken seriously. Bombay Dreams was ripped apart in the Broadway circles, FYI. BD was nothing but a sugar-coated attempt at remixing his earlier hits, made in the form of a musical.
  In Bollywood, if Amitabh sneezes in London, its big time news. Anything ARR does is fodder for the media and the people up north.
  Please note that i'm taking nothing away from ARR. I love his music. Its just that its a joke that the media goes gaga over works of relatively lesser merit, ignoring ARR's own better compositions*, not to mention IRs treats.
  When it comes to TFM, ARR hasn't really been around for some time. He's back now, alright. Haven't listened to A A, so can't comment. And right now, its TIS which is topping the charts pushing Anniyan to second place and that says a lot of things, doesn't it?
  
  * - I rate ARR's Tehzeeb as one of his best works in Hindi - even ARR holds it dear, but that sank without a trace and i'm not talking about the movie here, just the songs.

  To add to my prev post w.r.t n. Indians' narrow spectrum of taste, i was travelling in a bus from Bangalore to Chennai 2 weeks back. There were a couple of girls sitting behind me, NIndians of course. Radio Mirchi was playing ARR hits - Kangalal Kaidhu Sei, Uyire, Thiruda Thirudaetc... and guess what one girl remarked? "Hey, are they playing dubbed hindi songs?"

  'MOZART OF ASIA?!!!!!!!!!!! HA HA HA.. NICE JOKE.even IR cant be said that way.the main reason behind most of the north indians liking arr is bcos of his clarity of music.so they easily get attracted to his flamboyant music.yes as alwarpet andavan quoted bfore arr is alwys given heavy publicity.i accept that he is a good music diretctor.but the media hype he gets is something more than what he deserves like the one above"mozart of asia"

  HJ is over-rated kumari song in Anniyan was good, didn't give many hit songs
  Bharathwaj is under-rated given many hit songs, better music director than HJ
  Yuvan is better than HJ but don't get into big budge movies. hope he gets.
  
  IR is the Best
  ARR second

  Illa, only Uyire was dubbed from Hindi and Thiruda Thiruda's "Chandralekha" song became a national hit in Tamil, one of a very few songs to be so.....

  RAHMAN - THE INDIAN MUSIC WIZARD
  A Composer's View
  
  
  South Indian Film Industry has always been blessed with great Music directors. And most of the great composers are from Tamil Nadu is another thing to be proud of if you are tamilian. Now there are good composers and then there is a rare breed, one who dares to break the conventional music making and set a trend. Tamil Film Industry is certainly blessed to have all of them from Tamil Nadu. The first one being MSV and then Mr.Illayaraja and then came A.R.Rehman of the younger generation and rest of others are the ones who just follow the trend set by these 'Maestros'.
  
  I still remember being wonder stuck the very first time when I heard the 'Leo Coffee' jingle(ad) music. It was a very famous ad. It was sensational for two things the young charming Arvind Swamy and the beautiful musical score for that ad. Super combination of tavil,veena and fretless bass and nice keyboard punches that sweeps you off. And then the another impressive score is for the 'Telugu Music Academy music for national Integration' they used to telecast in DD every Sunday, that was again a beautiful score. Some of my friends who where in film industry told me that it was Dilip who was doing those jingles. And I was wondering how nice it will be if this guy could also do mainstream films. Well that indeed happened in 1991 with Roja and rest is history.
  
  A.R.Rehman brought in a unique sense of melody, sound and new arrangement to this industry that was dearth of it.
  During that time things have become pretty monotonous with lot of 'formula' and predictable music scores, when I say formula music what I mean is usual string passages, tabla kind of arrangement to fill up the scores nothing new to hold your attention. And the younger generation was more into western POP and stuff like that. It was like we can't have that precision of sound quality in our Indian recordings and gave a impression that our studios aren't well equipped enough to produce those amazing quality sounds. And most of MDs where sounding or trying to sound like a popular MD at that time. And the result was a pretty stereotyped music.
  
  After ROJA, not only the south but the entire country was under the spell of Rahman. When critics were saying that he was one film wonder, Rahman proved them all wrong with continued hit after hit. Now his domain expanded to North also.
  His music was so popular people in North copied his songs, the best example is 'Muqabala' song, I was told that there were at least 15 different versions of this song. His music appealed to the youth immensely so the minute they hear 'music by Rahman' everyone buys it for they were sure about the quality of his music. This is all due to his sheer hard work and dedication.
  
  Many of us are unaware of the intricacies of making music and just say 'aha that's all because of computer' , I wish
  composing was that easy. Some of the critics where even saying 'Rahman is a good sound engineer and not a composer'.
  This is once again out of ignorance. Now everyone in the music world has computers and all kinds of software but how many of them can come up with his kind of music ? That's because Rahman's has his own unique approach to music, sound and presentation that is so unique to him. His sense of rthym is matchless and grasp of ragaas is very good.
  
  
  Whether its raag Kapi, Bhimbilas, Bihag, Nilamabari, Kanada, Kamas or Misra Mandu, he has used ragas in his own style. Once again cine music is a potpourri. You can't' and should not apply carnatic parameters to judge it. Ragas are used
  discreetly by composers to give some soothing effect and for melody but not for the raagas sake alone for cine music is not targeted at a one kind of audience alone but a wider range of audience from all walks of life.
  
  And there is also instance he has used and treated ragas beautifully the best examples are 'Nila kaihiradu' from film Indra - a beautiful song based on Raag Bihag. Not to mention the famous song of Duet based on Raag Anandha Bhairavi. And the wonderful song of 'Kannodu Kanbethallam' based on Aberi / Bhimbilas and the wonderful song 'Kannamoochi enada' based on 'Natakurenchi'. And what about the mesmerizing song 'Thaayum Neeye' from the movie Pavithra based on raag 'Kamas' that fetched the national award for Mr. Unni Krishnan.
  
  Rahman never fails to use natural instruments to give authenticity as the song dicates be it tavil, ghatam, sax, konnakol, Santoor, Violin or Mohana veena. This uniqueness of Rahman has impressed folks not only from India but also abroad. And the person to be blown away by Rahman's music is none other than Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber himself. Now A.R.Rahman has come up with another impressive score for Webber's musical 'Bombay Dreams'
  
  
  A.R.Rahman continues to capture the attention of the World and will spread the greatness of our Indian music to other parts of the world as well. So as an Indian we all should be proud of him. And a genuine music lover will appreciate good music wherever it comes from and from whomever it comes from. For music has no barriers.

  yes arr has lost his touch.he was rollicking in 90's.compared to that period he has surely detiorated now.yuvan took that place now.hiss rerecording in 7g is a masterpiece.a correction:it is not the title song of 7g that was taken from johny.that piece comes somewhere inbetween only.obviously he is inspired by that piece from johny.in johny that piece comes at the end.
  alsoi most of the times yuvan gets low budget or low banner movies where the heroes make their debut etc.but still with his music the whole film gets noticed and the film does well after that.for eg:thulluvadho illamai,raam,arindhum ariyamalum etc.
  ARR ruled 90's and 00's belongs to yuvan.his kallotiyin kadhai has proved yet again.

  VIDHYASAGAR
  
  is not he RIGHT NOW rocking with his tunes in
  
  AATHI and
  PARAMASIVAN.
  
  okei.... now, here are my questions................
  
  
  1. undivilai...... kaiyil vecha...... pms ......... beats reminds me of "manmatha rasa....... manmatha rasa........." and "kalyanam thaan kattikittu odi polama"
  
  2. hey durra dummnu melatha kotturathum ..... aathi......... reminds me of........"annathey aaduraan othiko othiko........thennatu venga thaan othuko othuko"
  
  3. natchatira paravaikku natcahthira paravaikku........pms......... reminds me of "kokku para para kozhi para maina para para......"
  
  4. athi athikka..............aathi......... definitely a FAMOUS HINDI SONG TUNE......(just waitin to tap my forgotten memory portion)
  
  
  5. oru kili.......... pms.......... definitely so much of bgm sounds akin to "katril enthan geetham from JHONNY" (Not necessarily because its of same raaga)
  
  I HAVE ALWAYS FOUND,
  
  EVEN IN chandramukhi AND MOVIES BEFORE THAT.......
  
  vidhyasagar REMINDS US A LOT OF iLAYARAJA'S handwork. Many of his tunes reminds us of IR SONGS. Interludes, beats, the composition etc.
  
  I am yet HESITANT to say, he LACKS stuff. i SHOULD wait more and see.
  
  BUT REPEATING beats of RECENT MOVIES is sure an open gateway for ppl to comment on his capabilities.
  
  IR might have flicked some interludes or tunes or BGMS, but he was clever enough that it was not SPOTTED by atleast normal (not so knowledgeable) ppl like me.
  
  What do u guys think bout this???
  
  Does VIDHYASAGAR lack CREATIVITY???
