The question is not whether ARR killing the tamil or any language. ARR can kill the music, not the lyrics.....btw, he's not a lyricist.
Songs from earlier movies until Kadhalan were good. Unni krishnan got national award for Ennavale. At that time, lyrics were written by lyricist. Now A.M. Ratnam writes the lyrics (atleast in telugu)...and he isn't a lyricist, he's a producer. So whatever the lyrics are in tamil, ditto lyrics in telugu. I was laughing when I heard the lyrics of Boys or jeans in telugu. Hopeless lyrics for a soothing music. This isn't the case atleast in hindi. I preferred enjoying the song more in hindi than in telugu, when jeans was dubbed in hindi. Same is the case for Maniratnam's Yuva. So ARR is good and we can survive with his music....

Instead, he should be a knowledgeable person interested in life and philosophy. In his personal life there should be, at least in some corner of his heart, a tinge of lingering sorrow." > - AR Rahman > > > > > __________________________________________________________ > Yahoo!
