Karthik, I agree to all of your points but at one point when you say that IRs sons are churning out Popcorns is not right.IR himself was churning out Popcorns in so many movies.I ve heard all of IRs songs - almost all of them.I can bet that during the period of 1992-1998 he was churning out popcorns that were not so tasty. I personally felt this because i was once an ardent fan of IR.
IR shouldnt have made such comments because he himself has composed such songs like 'Nethu rathiri yamma' and all those songs in Sakala kala vallavan and Murattu Kalai. --- "Karthik, Sankara" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: --------------------------------- Chandra, Lets leave IR's comment there where it is said and move on. This is not the first time he says this popcorn anology. I guess, it was during the media interview in Bangalore during the release of one of his Kannada films music he made this peculiar popcorn anology. He is continuing that from there on. He as one of the supreme composers of all time is entitled to have in own opinion and I (we) respect that. It is quite obvious that the pop corn packet that he is referring to contain more from ARR's factory, according to his assumed inner belief, but what he should also not forget that his two sons and one daughter have also supplied only pop corns and nothing else all these days to that packet. Hope he is also referring to them. But , we all know that ARR has not only supplied pop corn (as opined by IR) but also has sowed a big big paddy field which the future generation is going to harvest for long. U can already see many of his contemporaries have entered that paddy field, in the cover of dark and have harvested some bits and pieces. Lets leave it at that. I enjoyed the show and hope IR makes more such shows.... Did you all see one thing...Even ARR here has set a trend in these kind of huge shows with high preproduction cost on Lights and decorations, which even some one as high as IR is following.? This is called trend setting - setting HIS OWN PATH. That's ARR for us.

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.
