hey mirza... understand first... dont barge... i just read your post and i found it to be in general... and of course my message was also in general... about all arr songs... first understand that i m not telling that arr is not doing well or his standards have reduced... its all remaining the same... expect for the aspect of clarity esp in thamizh... once in a while when your going to give a song in which you concentrate more on music rather than lyrics is acceptable... but choosing singers who dont know thamizh most of the time is a problem... of course no doubt their voice suits the song amazingly... but then u need to concentrate on diction too... and then yes i did a research... not only about arr but about other MD's like IR,HJ,YSR,VS, etc... cos my aim is to become a music director and rahman is my role model... so i m not just blaming general public... i m such an arderent fan of him... who would always like to hear more good things about him... but at the same time its a duty of a fan to inform the negative line of his hero... and i m sure these messages reaches rahman from this group thro someone close to him... i want him to be at top always... (so i think it would be clear that i not only aimed at replying your messages and waste my valuable time...) and thanks for your peice of advice which i was happy to ignore... it is not about bringing in the english lyrics in between or something... its about the clarity and diction of thamizh words... yes as ROSHAN pointed Kannathil Muthamittal songs esp vellai pookal sung by arr himself was so clear and amazing... which is one of my all time favourite... its such a critically acclaimed song... no one could say anything wrong about the song... everybody was infact talking great about that song... thats how i want his songs to be... when it came to songs like DATING another amazing song, even then i found that clarity was there inspite of the fact, Blaaze singing... it was in his recent movies if i m correct from NEW... the lyrics are not heard clearly because of the singers... Hope u understand... and stop blaming a community just because some X Y Z said something... thats not right... if they said something, address them directly... not the community as a whole...

I do not want this conversations to stretch.. as I previously mentioned.. do not speak on behalf of the general public unless you have done some kind of a research.. speak for yourself.. don't blame your opinions on the general public... and I do live in London.. and I do have enough friends around India to understand what they think of ARR.. even my friends who do not appreciate his music never criticised him as they do not have that musical knowledge to do so... and you have been writing alot.. but I just read another post of yours in which you have mentioned you like to hear the 40 sec song.. I don't understand you have been writing all these even without listening to the 40 sec song.. I feel you rather spend your valuable time to something else than replying for these posts..
