Hi all, I think we have discussed about our maestro as a prolific composer but now time has come when one should look at his singing capabilities as well. Personally i feel that ARR is a phenomenal singer and sometimes his rendition actually lifts the song and may overpower his music which is a rarity though. But just sample a few songs of ARR: 1.Vande Mataram: What better way to show the love for ur country.A common thing in Rahman song is that he sings at a high pitch..which tried by most singers is i thnk quite difficult since it strains ur vocal chords to the maximum and thts exactly what he does..just try it out guys it's not at all easy..after hearing this song i am sure u will feel more for ur country
2.Dil Se: Well what one can say abt this song...Just note the emotions in this song...the passion portrayed in this song is just phenomenal...it's as if Rahman singing his heart out which has been enhanced by the picturisation of the number..In this song he also proves that he can sing in a very soft and soothing and a lower pitched voice as well...in one word just Amazing!!! 3.Chale Chalo(Lagaan): Well to describe this number i still remember the interview which was given by Javed Akhtar on MTV before releasing of the movie.After he penned the lyrics he knew it was Rahman who can croon this number since his voice has that frenzy which is quite unique and can really charge up people around you which was perfect in context of the movie...Excellent crooning by the maestro. 4.Yeh jo Des hain Tera(Swades):In one word after listening to this song all NRI'S will really feel to come back to their country..Is there any better way to express one's emotion of yearning for one's motherland??i think no song of all ages taken together can match this number for it's sheer quality and emotion..another softly rendered song by the Master Tamil songs:I am not a Tamilian nor i understand even a bit of this language but with Rahman's music it has generated a lot of interst in me for Tamil numbers and i can claim i have a fair collection not only of ARR but also YSR and HJ. 1.Vellai Pookal:Ohhh what a number..Do i really have words to describe this?A song so soft,soothing and as if a ray of hope amidst all destruction..Full of emotions..i am sure this song can make u cry..Hats off to Rahman..minimum instruments and maximum impact..a song totally heightened by his singing alone..Awesome!!! 2.Aah Aah(Anbe Aariyure): Title track..full techno and hip hop..the song sounds like the entry of the God of Music ARR..Ohh gr8 singing full of spunk and attitude written all over the song..as if addressing people that :"I am going to compose for Tamil Films as well" But i thnk this was not enough: Our boss has come up with another exceptional track..i have kept this separate because this song has a universal appeal.yes u guessed it.. Luka Chuppi(Rang De Basanti): Wow!!!What do i say??Singing with Lata Mangeshkar and u still notice his voice more than our very own nightingale of India..It's really an experience u need to feel and for that u need to listen to this number..the pain expressed by ARR of staying away from her mother actually shows the amount of love and respect he actually has for his mother..and to top it all the alaap at the end was like a sweet and a big cherry on a huge chocolate cake gr8 Master...Hats off to you..and i really do not see any musiccomposer cum singer even in the realms of your comparison...i do not want to even name them to spoil my post.. I hope i will get some responses and insightful comments on this post...plz do write back.. bye, anujit Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.
