Guys Aravind and Thulai, i'm very much with you on this. IR has always done
this. AR said that there should be no hatred among fans but here IR himself
become the reason for hatred. He is a genius no doubt but his arrogance and
jealousiness goes over his talent. After all you have a million people trying
to find the fault in you...
Regards,
Maddy

Aravind,
m with u on this. some people will never understand and will come up with big
explanations for defending some other artists and never voice their opinion to
back ARR.
btw, the video is like a 80's cut with a song & music having a 70's touch to
it. OMG! m wondering the purpose of this song.. just to express the ego
feelings?! :)

Dear Ramesh,
Being diplomatic, and avoiding arguments is one thing! Not accepting the truth
when it is staring right on your face is another.
One may argue that the lyrics are suited for the characters of the movie...
But, if you've followed Tamil industry closely, you will know that attacking
people through song lyrics, is something IR has done in the past too. That's
his style. This is NOT the first time!
BTW, the song is not picturised on any characters of the movie, it is
picturised on IR himself! It's shot like a music video, having nothing
to do with the movie itself! Here's the link for the vid http://www.youtube..

About IR criticising "Ella Pugazhum" - I dont need the media to tell me what it
is! It is crystal clear what IR is saying!
Such statements exist in Hinduism, in vedas and puranas too, where everything is
attributed to God...It is a to say "I don't take credits for all my
achievements, it's all given to me by God"... It is not a matter of
philosophy, or beliefs.... Someone who claims to be so spiritual, whom everyone
calls a "saint" should very well know this and understand, whether he believes
in it or not! Even if he doesn't believe in it, do you think he should have
spoken on stage the way he did?
Do you think it is a mature comment, coming from a veteran of the stature of
IR? It is totally unwarranted and uncalled for! This is the point I'm trying to
impress upon.

I cannot believe we are still beating at this.
"You should listen to the the song titled "Ulagam Ippo" written, composed and
sung by IR from the new album Azhagar Malai. IR's jealousy comes out clearly in
that. The song lyrics talks about how people leave the country for money and
that those people, though they may be rich, are mean and poor in his view
point! The lyrics further goes that world may change, people may go wherever,
but I'll stay here and serve the country."
The song lyrics are by Vaali. It seems appropriate for the movie ('Azhagar
Malai is about the egoistic and irate village heads and a
youngster trying to change their attitude').
It takes a creative mind to extrapolate this into inferring that IR is taking
a dig at ARR. Anyone doing so is conveniently forgetting that IR has also gone
abroad and worked/performed (his 1st Symphony conducted by John Scott
(London?), the concert in Italy, the Thiruvasagam symphony/oratorio in
Budapest...)
I can't read Tamil so I have no idea what the Kumudam article that Aravind
attached says. Pay attention to the context and the conclusion drawn. Don't
fall for the trap laid out by junk media.
The second comment about fame and God's gift is a matter of philosophy. ARR
believes in one thing and IR in another. So what? It's just like how no two
astrologers will ever agree on the same thing.
And why should it matter if a music artist is an egoist? Shouldn't you bother
only about the
music? ARR is one of a kind--
we like him for his music and also his humility and the personal example he
sets for others. It is wrong to expect that every artist will be equally humble
and kind. I'll say that it's quite common that a lot of great artists have big
egos. That's part of what pushes them to excel.
