The $6 shipping is probably to encourage people to order more than one

Re: [arr] Re: Singer Feji

[Kalimuthu]

It must be Feji. Because Febi, her sister, is married to Music
Director Srikanth Deva. But Vithur's mail says that Feji is married to
a dancer.

Re: [arr] Re: Singer Feji

Hi Kiran

I remember and heard well that Raihana was telling Feji. Feji's sister name
is Febi, and she has also sung for ARR.

[arr] JODHA AKBAR - A challenge for Rahman

Jodhaa Akbar' a challenge for music maestro Rahman

By Prithwish Ganguly

MUMBAI (Reuters) - For composer A. R. Rahman, the biggest challenge in
"Jodhaa Akbar" was creating music that could echo the union of cultures in
the period film -- the story of 16th century Mughal emperor Akbar's romance
with a Rajput princess.

"Story wise it is about two cultures coming together in a love story," said
Rahman. "It was a big challenge for me to compose music keeping in mind this
theme of union."

Known for his musical versatility -- from romantic compositions to
foot-tapping numbers -- Rahman has innovated with different instruments and
sounds to create some of India's best known musical hits for more than a
decade.

But for filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker's ambitious project, the Bollywood
composer said he had kept the modern day audience in mind.

"The sounds and songs are very contemporary," said Rahman. "It is a period
film but I have not gone into using Rudraveena or those classical
instruments while composing."

"The music is simple - mainly instruments and vocals and there's no flashy
use of sounds."

Even as soap-box addicts get set to be spoilt for choice with newer
entertainment channels raiding your homes, the sheer number of music reality
shows on the small screen are mind-boggling.

Every one who's a musician — aspiring, amateur and even successful — has a
platform to croon from. If Sa Re Ga Ma and Antakshari set the musical
spirit, it was up to Indian Idol, Fame Gurukul, Chhote Ustaad and now Jjhoom
India, K for Kishore, Bol Baby Bol, Mission Ustaad, Say Shava Shava, Dhoom
Macha De... t he list goes on, until you can reach for your remote. And
while some shows encourage celebrities to discover their musical talent,
others are musical shows with noble cause (one show even has a tie-up with
the United Nations to create awareness about the UN Millennium Development
Goals across India for the End Poverty 2015 Millennium Campaign).

In some instances, the prize money and all profits received from SMSes will
be contributed to charity, while others can win music contracts and hefty
financial remuneration. The common point: each show has a panel of celeb
judges ranging from the reticent A R Rahman, the feisty Shabana Azmi, the
articulate Mahesh Bhatt and Javed Akhtar, to singers Kunal Ganjawala, Shreya
Ghoshal and even Karan Johar and Lara Dutta who generously voice their
opinion about each performance, shower praises lavishly and sometimes
harshly run down performances. So, you have shrieks of rapture, hysteria,
tearful breakdown on camera, served on prime time.

The formats might be different, but really, what unites them is the same
mode of elimination or survival — the SMS mode of public voting. But is
there any reason why the small screen has a deluge of musical shows on air
at this point of time? Are they major TRP-toppers? Deepak Gattani, director
of Mission Ustaad, says, "Music is a language that reaches out to people all
over India. Maybe there will be saturation of ideas for music shows too.
What is important is the execution."

Musical shows have enough dose of drama in every episode, especially when it
comes to eliminating a participant. Do theatrics strike a chord with the
audience and generate high TVRs (television rating points)? Albert Almeida,
executive vice-president of a popular TV channel, says, "Melodrama is the
staple diet of people in India. We thrive on it. So if we created something
like a 'wild card' in our show, we will have to come with something even
more wilder in our next season, as it is a cluttered environment." And do we
see innovation in this clutter? Singer Babul Supriyo, who is contesting
Dhoom Macha De Dhoom on a channel and hosting K for Kishore on another,
says, "I think the responsibility of choosing unpolished talent should lie
with the jury. The country has one Yash Chopra for several Shah Rukhs, so we
can't let the public decide who can be the next Shah Rukh. The medium of art
should not deteriorate."

Agrees Gajendra Singh director and brain behind some of the most successful
music shows on television. "There is a clutter but at the end of the day,
the country is getting so much talent. Where would otherwise talent get such
exposure? I agree that marketing gimmicks and good packaging don't always
get us good talent, but sometimes we get lucky." There are certain formats
that the shows have to continue with, as the TVRs tilt in their favour.
Programming head of a TV channel, Kalyan Sundaram says, "Music connects with
people and offer good TVRs. So, there is no running away from set formats
and as of now, it looks like music shows are here to stay just like
saas-bahu soaps."

Does marketing gimmick help in finding good talent? Shailaja Kejriwal,
executive vice-president, content, NDTV Imagine, says, "Broadcasters will
have to follow this genre for many years even if the form keeps changing."
Actor Shekhar Suman says, "I have got an opportunity to showcase my singing.
So even if participants don't make a career out of music, the viewer enjoys
every bit of these shows and that matters to us."

And as long as remote-happy viewers notch up high TVRs, musical shows will
continue to be small screen's tryst with reality.

A.R.RAHMAN -  THE ABODE OF DIVINE MUSIC

[arr] Singer Feji

[Vithur]

Rahmaniacs,

Singer Feji , a Christian by birth has been married to a Hindu Dancer. she
started singing at the age of 7. she even started recording songs right from
that age . She started singing for Music Director Deva. She has sung songs
for ARR, along with her sister . Her sister married Music Director Srikanth
deva ( son of Deva ) . She has sung " Strawberry Kanne" from Minsara Kanavu.
Feji's father was a sole violinist, and had no fear of singing in a mike ,
right from childhood.

Her first solo song was in Malayalam. She has also sung for Vidyasagar for "
Ali Baba and 40 thieves ( Telugu Comedy Film ) ".

*ARR Song :-* Kumaripulla  Kumaripulla ( From Tajmahal ) :- She sang a solo
bit. Even Raihana has sung with Feji in that song.

*ARR Solos :-* ( either group songs ) :- Kizhakke Nandavanm ( Tajmahal ) ,
Rathirin Sondakkara ( Paarthala Parvasam), Azhaginna Azhahi ( Enakku 20
Unakku 18 )

*future releases :-* Naan Kadavul ( For Ilayaraja)  and some jingles.

Feji would be happy singing Backup vocals  , because there would be a mix of
Western, classical, Rap et etc . There should be good co-ordination for
singing Backup vocals. Even solo singing is easy but back up needs good
syncronisation, and correct Shruti.

Feji has enjoyed singing backup vocals for Nenjinile ( Uyire ). Once I was
called at 3 PM. ARR used to give the song in advance, and gives us time for
practicising it. During recording of Tajmahal Song, ARR was supposed to
catch a flight the same evening . So, all were in a hurry, and he suddenly
told TAKE. So, he told everybody to just sing, whatever they practised. .
ARR finished the Take so soon.

*FAVOURITTE SONGS OF ARR :-* Nenje Nenje ( Ratchagan ) , Vellai Pookal (
Kannathil Muthamittal ) , vidukadaya ( Muthu ) , Sakthi Kodu ( BABA ) ,
Kaalyil Dhinamum ( New ) and the list goes on and on

*LESSONS FROM ARR* :- I learnt the dynamics. Where to soften the lyrics and
where to harden it .

*FAVOURITE POP SINGERS :-* Shakira, Enrique, Mariah Carey and so on .

[arr] Re: JA Delay due to Manufacturing CD's

[Chord]

Musicyogi also has the same date.  I'm going to expect further delays 
beyond Jan 21st at this rate.  Why should anyone trust this date 
based on past experience?  There seems to be some "problem" or 
another with every stage of this release.  This is just unreal and 
totally unprofressional!  

Enough ranting and raving.  I have better things to do in my life!  
Best bet is to not follow dates anymore, ignore any release 
announcements, and not expect to hear the music in the near future 
and someday wake up surprised...whenever that will be.

I'm done.

Hi all,

The CD's are getting released on 21st of January. The delay has been

So the wait continues!!

Re: [arr] Re: JODHA AKBAR CDS BY 21st

[Vithur]

Chord.

Do not bother ... keep expressing your agony. Its the same for everybody.
Some are quite, and some are expressing. Thats it. But here in Chennai,
Music world says positively on 18th .

who is not agonised ??. I am sure everybody here as well as otherwise too..
