Hey Anujit, I feel your pain buddy. I don't get it either. I too also feel that Rahman's songs are discriminated these days at times. It sounds irrational, but somehow, I feel it's true to some extent. Regardless of sales, however, Rahman is still regarded at the number one MD in India. No Himesh or Aadesh can take that away from him.
But, yes, I wish his sales and popularity figures could be addressed. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "Anujit" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all, > i really have a serious doubt and would like to ask the viewpoints > of the esteemed members of this group. > it has been nearly 3 weeks that RDB released but still i find it's > songs languishing at the number 5,6 or even worse below 10th spots > on a number of countdown shows except bollyvista.com. even worse in > one of the radio city or red fm programs i heard RDB is at number 23 > spot. > i really fail to understand why this kind of discrimination when it > comes to the maestro's music. of late it has been found that some > unacceptable trash compositions of the likes of himmesh (especially > his nasal voice),pritam,anu malik,nadeem shravan get so much > importance and are dubbed as absolute chartbusters.what a shame > since either the songs are copied or just remixed versions of older > songs like bluffmaster. > i also fail to understand what does this album lack? it has an > absolute heavy duty bhangra number that too in a unique style of > rahman,an absolute masterpiece in the form of luka chuppi,a youthful > number paathshaala,a lilting melody tu bin bataaye,an inspiritional > track khoon chala,a discotheque track khalbali,an awesome > compostiton roobaroo..what else can one ask for yaar? and still i > find songs like jhalak dikhlaaja of himesh topping the charts which > is a heavily sufi inspired track i guess with heavy duty > beats...recently this discrimination has been more...but why??just > because rahman has chosen to do some off beat movies like > bose,swades,meenaxi etc..that's why i feel he has been overlooked in > the countdowns..believe me the more 1 song stays at the top the more > the film,the song gets popularity and people go on buying it's > music..but that is not the case for RDB.. thts why i feel the sales > have not yet started booming..imagine a track like "right here right > now" staying at the top of the charts and a song like luka chuppi is > at the bottom..it really gives me a sad feeling and i pity the > listeners and the so called judges of these songs...who choose to > avoid these memorable compositions..i know it is a long post but plz > do post ur thoughts on it... > at the same time i noticed that no song in RDB has an antara mukhra > type of composition which no other MD can even dream of composing.. > HATS OFF TO YOU MASTER!!!WE ARE ALWAYS THERE TO SUPPORT YOUR > BRILLIANT EFFORTS IN MUSIC > WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST IN 2006, > regards, > anujit > Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.
