Hello folks, I partially agree with Anujit. YSR is growing very well and at an amazing speed. His compositions are stunningly different, however, some of them are inspired from some international numbers. I heard the music of one of the tracks in "Pudhapetti" in a Citibank ad that comes when u listen to songs on Raaga.com. And I heard this ad couple of months ago (before Pudhapetti audio was released), which means, its inspired, if not a complete copy. Nevetheless, I love many of YSR's songs, esp. I love "Arindham Ariyamulam", this album is one of my all time favourites apart from many of ARR's albums (difficult to list them down :-) ) and "Minnale". Even I do not understand Tamil, since I am from Andhra Pradesh. But Rahman's music made me foray into tamil music and I found that many others, directly or indirectly inspired Rahman, are coming up with better tunes day by day. I used to rate Harris as the next big thing in Indian music after (and only after) ARR when I heard "Minnale", but YSR is growing much better than Harris.
I think bollywood directors should start utilizing these growing tamil talent, thus reducing the load on ARR. They are definitely not a replacement for ARR, but since there is "only one good" composer in bollywood, all the "good" film-makers are coming to him only, so atleast composers like YSR & Harris, (who are 100 times better than Himesh Reshmaiyya or Anu Mallik, I am saying YSR is 100 times better than Anu Mallik, now think can I even compare anyone with our boss?) can be utilised by them. Especially, I dont like Rahman to work for directors like Ahmed Khan (Lakeer - The Forbidden Lines). Such people, being ARR's fans like us, might be requesting our boss so much that he accepts their offers (u can see his humbleness and generosity here). These directors can go down to south, since even Harris' and YSR's music is beyond being regional (remember that RHTDM is musically a big hit, though the movie bombed). But till today, except, Ilayaraja & MM Kreem (his hindi music is just uncomparable with his telugu music, listen to Sur & Jism and then listen to his telugu "funny" songs, though he did made some good telugu numbers too), ARR is the only successful South Indian MD making it big in bollywood. I wish YSR to grow more, but also to be more original, so that he can help "our-kind-of" music get more popular in the days to come than the typical "Jhalak Dhiklaja" ones. I will wait for ur comments and thoughts. Cheers, Srinath. --- In [email protected], "Anujit" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all Rahmaniacs, > i have come again and getting your responses for my earlier doubt..i > have come up with something again.. > Well i have just listened to "Pudhupettai" of YSR recently, i am not a > Tamilian neither i understand this language but due to ARR i found > Tamil songs to be quite good and most of the times better than the > hindi songs..no hard feelings plz.. because i also belong to the north > but do not look at this regional divide...like ARR who has actually > removed all these barriers.. > Not diverting from my topic i also have taken interest in listening to > other composers music like Harris and YSR...though Harris is good i > find YSR is better...listening to some of his albums like Kadhal > Kondein,7g,Arindhum,Kanda Naal Mudhal and now Pudhupettai...well with > this score i really feel that YSR has evolved as a composer and like > ARR he has started to understand the subject of the film much better... > maybe due to the rapport with the director Selvaraghavan..this film is > about chennai underworld and i was quite amazed with the musical score > since all the songs give a kind of a dark feel which is very much apt > to the subject..like ARR(who did it for Bose) again he has also > collaborated with a Bangkok orchestra in this film which shows YSR is > also not afraid to experiment and wants to go international as well... > Plz do not discriminate me as a YSR fan..believe me i am an ardent ARR > fan from the core of my heart and will always remain that way... > i hv just put forward some facts which might make us think that ARR > has got some quality rivalry from YSR which is definitely healthy and > more so as YSR is also favourite of ARR... > What do you guys feel?
