Aaah...my mistake:-) I myself took only the jist of the article. It is something even I feel is the reason that has killed the quality of music. As far as Rahman not being creative, if Rahman is not creative, I don't know what MD in India today is?! Geniuses like Rahman and Ilayaraja are a rarity. Who in the world could come up with a score like Roja in his first film itself?!!! I wasted my time thinking that the article was justifiable, which it is, but his last sentence is not.
Personally, I found Kavitha Krishnamurthy's argument stuck in my head more, and I can understand that more. But I agree with the criticism that half-backed singers are a doom for the playback industry. Coming to Rahman, admittedly he did bring these technologies. I have cringed at some of the singing of his singers. But for all that, there is no one who was introduced in the last 15 years, with creativity of Rahman. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "Anil Nair" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Well ..I did understand the jist of the article and what he intends to > bring out but ....the section where he writes ...and I quote > > "Dearth of calibre in both singers and music directors is responsible > for this de-generation.
