Hi Everybody... During the recently conducted one-day "Maestro Live" show by Ilayaraja, he was interacting with the audiences in a friendly manner.
Speaking about his compositions, he said: "In a music, both the tunes and the lyrics should complement perfectly. As in the case of a song: Sundari kannal oru sedhi (Dalapathy), Vaali has written lyrics which match my compositions appropriately in the exact range and wavelength." Then he also said: "Today, there are songs which neither match the tune nor the lyrics, but that is somewhat acceptable. They fall in the category of film songs, which is different. Just like Food and Popcorn." "Why Popcorn SELLS more is a separate debate which we will not discuss now." There may be nothing wrong with what he said, but it is a DIRECT comment towards some of the best-sellers in the music industry today. Whom or WHAT EXACTLY did he have in mind? Is A. R. Rahman or his TYPE OF MUSIC a possibility that he targeted...?? What do you think? Please write in your "unbiased" views. Thanks for reading. Chandra. ------------------------ Yahoo!
