hi mirza... yeah i do admit the fact that thamizhans esp chennaiitties killed thamizh a lot... but that doesnt mean rahman should do the same... there are still people who would like to hear lyrics clearly... There is defnitely a difference between spoken english and english poems right... similarly while speaking we tend to use slangs(inappropriate slangs that kills thamizh just like what we call as butler english)... but when it comes to poem it should be neat... we dont have this problem when rahman did his bombay or even padiyappa... his songs clearly spelt out the lyrics... but some music directors in thamizh started adopting arr style and started killing thamizh... i dont want to name them you urself must be knowing... the point is we dont want rahman to join that league of people... we want him to stay as he was earlier... take up his hindi songs... there is no problem with lyrics... its really clear... and thats the way we want his thamizh songs too... i think u r staying in london... so the chances of you knowing what general public here say about his thamizh songs and mainly his minus are very less... this is not a general opinion of thamizh members in this community... it is the general public opinion... for whom the music is made... so i think its important for rahman to concentrate on the clarity of lyrics... Take up NEW YORK NAGARAM song... though it was a massive hit when compared to other thamizh songs of that period... it was not like urvasi urvasi or chikku bukku railey or humma humma... the reason is bit simple... lyrics wasnt heard clearly... as a rahman fan whatever he does i will listen to it and enjoy it... but that wont be the case with general public... when it comes to rahman... people expect a lot from him, down here... because of his goodwill... and rahman has a duty to fulfill the wishes by giving them what they want, in his style...
