Thinking further about it, I think the problem is basically caused by the difference between expectations of the fans and what ARR finally delivers.
Let there be no dispute about it that we all wait for ARR's "NEW" songs much more eagerly than we wait for ARR's re-used songs. If anyone is disputing that, please share with us your reasons why you are eager for re-used songs that you have already heard in other languages. I mean only if you are multilingual, because you can enjoy the full beauty only in a language that you can understand. I have also bought and heard ARR's various south indian language releases but I could not enjoy them fully so I have now given up such effort and I enjoy only Hindi releases by him. So, I think the problem is because of the hype created in this list and elsewhere about a "new" album, only to find that it is "re-used" songs. The solution is simple: Bring our expectations to the same level that we are going to be delivered to. How? There are people in this list who are in touch with ARR. So, they can request ARR to inform them about the re-used songs. Then those persons can share the info with the list here, even if not giving full info, may be things like "ARR will be using a few songs of Meenakshi in one of his new album", and then, maybe giving the name of Sakkarakatti in due course, and how many exact number of songs in due course, and which exact songs in due course. This will keep members mentally prepared of what is going to be delivered, so there will be no unpleasant surprises when, after waiting eagerly for 15-20 days for Sakkarakatti, having read a posted a few hundred mails about it, one comes to know that it has re-used nums. Of course, it will be subject to ARR's commercial commitment to the producers whether he can release such minimal information beforehand. But I think that ARR should understand the disappoint his genuine fans are having with reuses in the new releases, and should convince the producers to allow him to release such minimal info among specific groups. thanks. -- Rawat On 6/23/2008 6:34 AM India Time, _vimaljk_ wrote: > ARR has reused tamil songs in hindi before, such as remaking Nayagara > from En Swaasa Katre into Que Se Sera from Pukar..as well as Thaniye > from Rhythm into Nachle from Lakeer...he even changed a lot of the > musical arrangements and gave a different vibe to them..so don't worry > so much that 2 of the tracks are based off of Meenaxi..if it were the > WHOLE album..i'd be pissed too..but it's not...maybe ARR found a > unique way to change the songs up...so let's just wait and HEAR >
