<http://ibnlive.in.com/videos/130209/swagatham-fiasco-rahmans-top-10-duds.html?from=search>THEY ADDED A VIDEO BUT I THINK IT IS NOW REPLACED WITH JUST THE CWG VIDEO. from *Madanraj Vasanth*<http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/560261267.html>at 12:45, Sep 04, 2010 This should be top most article of Top ten IBN duds. Honestly i am not a Rahman song but rather calls myself fan of good music. But this article did enough mudslinging against Rahman who is today incomparable to any music directors to take the Indian music to world stage. People who haven't achieved anything in their life are taking this as a opportunity to belittle him. <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/77015018.html> from *savvygupta* <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/77015018.html>at 11:48, Sep 04, 2010 utter non sense,seems the writer doesnt have a clue or any sort of information what so ever.i request a concern like ibn live not to write such baseless articles which hurts us,we love these songs and now it seems we are fools.Thank you <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/28003950391.html> from *sivaprasad1986*<http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/28003950391.html>at 11:38, Sep 04, 2010 WTH u r saying?? Have u lost ur mind??Kadhal Desam,Jeans & Lovebirds are super hits in south??VTV,Parasuram &Yodha are also hits...I'm asking one question to u.Have u listened to these albums?? <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/27002038127.html> from *radhiram* <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/27002038127.html>at 11:20, Sep 04, 2010 it is a fact that rahman has been on the downhill for sometime now and has not come up with anything great or worthy of his name. i feel he composes more from his head than his heart and his music is more wizardy than soul. jeans, lovebirds,kadhal desam, vtv had one or two hummbale numbers each and thats all. probably he is confused asto whether he has to compose pure and simple music or go high funda to live upto his name. the result is that the confusion reflects inhis music. <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/2755910.html> from *dummrocks* <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/2755910.html> at 11:14, Sep 04, 2010 What a joke! This is the duddest article ever. Which world is the author of the article living in? Do you have any idea of the number of copies sold of vinnathaandi varuvaya or kaadhal desam or jeans or love birds or do you have any idea of the music in those albums. I doubt if the author of this article has ever listened to any of these albums. Atleast, before publishing some non-sensical article like this, the author should try to justify by providing numbers. I request IBNlive to take responsibility and share the work with someone knowledgeable enough. This is one silly article. *more »*<http://ibnlive.in.com/videos/130209/swagatham-fiasco-rahmans-top-10-duds.html?from=search> <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/100001267042636.html> from *Ramkumar Soundararajan*<http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/100001267042636.html>at 11:12 AM, Sep 04, 2010 This article is a total crap <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/27002038113.html> from *rafnas* <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/27002038113.html> at 11:08 AM, Sep 04, 2010 None has born yet to review @arrahman 's tracks..!! So just keep ur mouths shut and enjoy his compositions..!! The above mentioned list is plain rubbish..!! Only the movies wen unnoticed, not the music. And to remind you, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa is classic..!! <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/839125216.html> from *Rishi Renjith*<http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/839125216.html>at 10:59 AM, Sep 04, 2010 I must tell that whoever wrote this article must be real nuts!!! What a list of top 10 duds he's come up with!!! Hilarious <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/22001880741.html> from *maverickmotto*<http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/22001880741.html>at 10:44 AM, Sep 04, 2010 I am a journalist myself and it is sheer unfortunate to see someone write an article without doing any homework. To whoever has written this article, most albums that you have mentioned in the article have been blockbuster hists and is still reverred throughout. VTV has been the most refreshing album released last year and the songs of which have been appreciated by non-tam speaing population as well. So listen and then write your article. Why is everybody busy comparing the Swagatham song to Waka Waka or to his best 'Vande Mataram'. If the song had sounded any similar, all would have called him copy cat and now when he is done something different, you do not want to appreciate it. <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/27002037271.html> from *ravishankar87*<http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/27002037271.html>at 03:56 PM, Sep 03, 2010 I normally dont comment on any article. This is the first time I am commenting because I have been compelled to do so. Whomever wrote that article, was he checking with Hindi versions of those albums only or does he have any concrete reasons/statistics to support that stand. VTV, Jeans, Kadhal Desam and Love Birds are all huge hits. Maybe 1 or 2 songs in them might not do well. Infact VTV is ARR's best album of the year. Jeans was a superhit because of the music and songs. God please save us from these baseless articles. If you want, specify the tracks and not the full album. Then we will see whether it was hit or not. Remember ARR has huge hits in Tamil and some of his best numbers are in Tamil before coming to Hindi. Let me ask you, do you remember the songs in BABA but not Jeans??? *more »*<http://ibnlive.in.com/videos/130209/swagatham-fiasco-rahmans-top-10-duds.html?from=search> <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/16667634.html> from *sekkizhar* <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/16667634.html> at 03:55 PM, Sep 03, 2010 You have got to be kidding me..! <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/2093935.html> from *vikramsingal* <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/2093935.html>at 03:50 PM, Sep 03, 2010 The music's not peppy enough, lyrics are too shallow and ARR should have definitely not sung it. The song is meant to cover a sporting event but sounds more like amateur lounge music. And how often do people remember songs in foreign languages. I believe that the lyrics should have had a reasonable amount of English lines so at least our international guests could sing along with it. All in all, a disaster worth 5 Cr. But one never knows, if "Jai Ho" won ARR an Oscar, "Swagatham" may not go down that badly. <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/95504422.html> from *udaysalapala* <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/95504422.html>at 03:21 PM, Sep 03, 2010 This list is full of wrong info ...music of 'Jeans','Mr.Romeo' and 'Kadhal Desam' are much hit in south.. <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/1046231463.html> from *Anilkumar Shankar*<http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/1046231463.html>at 12:45 PM, Sep 03, 2010 This is utter non sense... VTV was one of Rahman's best...also don't forget he received national award for Jeans.... <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/2868066.html> from *smabbas_u* <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/2868066.html> at 12:41 PM, Sep 03, 2010 Well ..i think 'Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya','Jeans','Mr.Romeo' and 'Kadhal Desam' doesnt belong to this list.. Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya is one big hit here in the south.. Just mention the word 'Hosannah' to anyone here..and u could see the magic in their eyes..Its gonna win many awards here.. 'Jeans' is a big musical hit and a blockbuster movie just for the music of Rahman. 'Kadhal Desam' was another big hit and that was the one which impressed Sony Music and booked Rahman for Vande Mataram..the first Asian to be booked by Sony Music Co. So please do a complete research before publishing facts.. *more »*<http://ibnlive.in.com/videos/130209/swagatham-fiasco-rahmans-top-10-duds.html?from=search> <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/2785187.html> from *jay_69* <http://ibnlive.in.com/conversations/user/2785187.html> at 12:18 PM, Sep 03, 2010 Our people over-hype everything and the same is with A.R.Rahman,he should have kept to his basics than trying to do something out of the world.
