Hi guys... Much of the listings may be true, but there is a point to be noted:
When other MDs copy a song or a part of it, *some* ARR fans say "blatant lift", "copycat" and all that whereas Rahman's little-little copies are termed as: "inspiration", "resemblance", "self-accepted inspiration", "raga similarity", "time pressure", "producer/director/actor recommendation" etc. Some people have come up with this: "there are only 7 ragas and some resemblences cannot be avoided, so thats NOT copying" and all that... Is it not possible that the *copiers* faced none of the problems. It might not be known to the outside world, but why do you discount the possibility?? A good musician gets good films, good respect from the singers and those who do business with them and his/her own personality. We should try to take all those into account and pass neutral comments. That way R D Burman, S D Burman, SEL etc. may not be that bad. Even Mozart *lifted* a tune which was played in a Church and which was kept secret so that no one else (other than those who come there) experiences its devine bliss. But because Mozart *did* copy it and distributed the notes, many people were able to enjoy it. Was he right or wrong?? What would you say for Rahman's version of "O saathi Re, tere bina bhi kya jeena" which was "O Bhaavray...dekho in deewaanonko" If you know tamil very well, sing this: "thanga padakkathin mele" (MSV's number for MGR film), which became one of Rahman's hits: "Enna viai azhagay". Any non-arr-fan would say: "wow. good xerox technology!" There are some more examples of this kind of _______ (you can name it), but one thing is for sure... Rahman definitely is blessed with some kind of devine grace. Just like many people say Sachin was *born to just play cricket*, many more people will say Rahman was *born just 4 music*. Thanks for reading.
