Now that I've been asked specifically to opine, well, there's no justification actually. My justification is the list itself, that's what 'I' liked this year, in order of preference - if you disagree, post a comment and let me to appreciate your point of view and the choice of songs and enhance my musical pleasure. If I still do not like it, no great shakes, life goes on. Saw someone else responding in this group to the list earlier with a...'IMO, JA is...'. That IMO says it all, its an opinion.

Re: [arr] Oscar Watch: Composer
ARR's effort in SdM works great as a combination of songs and score. Evaluated for just the music score there's not much that stands out for me. For sure, it supports the movie and the action on screen but does it go beyond that? And I think I've mentioned this earlier-- there's little or no thematic development (and that's something I could say for a lot of ARR scores in general). It looks like he's just scoring the scene. But where is he really connecting the dots? I'd like to think that a good score is something that, in addition to supporting the movie, introduces certain ideas, toys with them, and develops them. Cohesiveness is another attribute that I'm looking for. A good score can provide a subtext or commentary not just on what's happening on screen, but also on what might happen or where is this going. I'm not saying that SdM is a bad score. It's a good soundtrack, and a real departure for ARR. Latika's theme is lovely-- it represents Jamal's love and longing and was used to good effect in the end with a summary of the journey. The action theme (Escape) was another that was put to good use in the chase sequences. I just think that there's not much in it to make the cut for best score when the field is already rich with some great works this year. Alexandre Desplat has been in great form this year with strong scores for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button & Largo Wench. Danny Elfman has Milk & Standard Operating Procedure. James Newton Howard has The Happening & Defiance. Zbigniew Priesner has Anonyma. Thomas Newman has WALL-E. Adrian Johnston has Brideshead Revisited. I'm not just blindly putting these names out. There are a number of sites (Itunes, Youtube, Amazon) where you can listen to free clips. Anyone remember the Oscar-winning scores of Brokeback Mountain or Babel? Both were by Gustavo Santaolalla. Both of those were very minimalistic and sparse with little or no themes. Perhaps the recent trend is that if you have a wildly popular film, it will just drive the critics and voters into having a favorable opinion of it for the sub-categories too (yes, I do think that ARR's score for SdM is riding the crest of the movie's massive popularity). Or perhaps the critics really do believe in the 'less is more' philosophy. How else would you explain bewildering decisions like nominating Clint Eastwood for Best Score for Changeling, or James Newton Howard's dronish score for Michael Clayton for last year's Oscar? If it's really a trend then I don't like it one bit and perhaps I'm in the minority here. As a parting thought I'll link to the youtube clip of what I consider as signs of brilliant scoring in recent times. Check out the opening scene to Birth scored by Alexandre Desplat. It's a beauty of construction. There's a delicate repeating motif with flute followed by the celeste (a Desplat favorite), drones, bass strings, tympani, romantic violins, horns and a lot more. It does way more than just scoring the jogging scene. It's proof of why Desplat is rated so high today.

[arr] Comment about Super Police
You have made only one flop film in the form of 'Super Police'. What has gone wrong for that film? D.Suresh Babu, Producer - Another average to flop film was 'Super Police', which was also a known failure. We are not surprised that it did not do well. My brother was not keeping good health those days. So we had to go around with the script and we were little confused. We still made money on that film also because of the music by AR Rehman.

Re: [arr] Oscar Watch: Composer
yes i am also very much concerned (actually disturbed) with this remarks of Ramesh and would like to ask him what he expects there for it to be nominated. i mean we all know SdM score is being nominated in all major awards till now (except a few) and in fact it has already won 5 of them (LAFCA Awards, NYCCO Awards, IPA Satellite Awards, San Diego Critics Award, Black Reel Awards) then what is the reason u think it is not nomination-worthy??? i will appreciate if u could elaborate. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "sureshmechnit" wrote: > > Hi Ramesh, > > Can you please tell me what should be there in Score to get > nominated?

Re: [arr] Milliblog Annual Music Round-up 2008
"his music was short of the extraordinary brilliance expected out of him each time, in 2008." Wow!! I don't know what to say to this!!!

What should they be ideally based on? The number of times a song is played? By whom? Number of CDs sold? The Milliblog annual round-up is comparatively simpler - this is a list of songs, across the four languages (and Indipop) I track music in, that I seem to fondly recall at the end of the year, with gratitude that they filled my life with a lot of (musical) joy. But I need to be honest here. I do not listen to every piece of music in Telugu and Kannada, but I do listen to almost everything that is released in Hindi and Tamil, besides Indipop. Malayalam music is something I need to get active in 2009, to make this blog and this list more comprehensive. Also, as you may have already noted, my musical interests are very, very composer-driven and composer-specific. Singers and lyricists are secondary, to me personally, so please don't hold that against this list! I'm quite sure that there are many more tracks and soundtracks that you may have in mind and think that they deserved a place in this post - I sure would love to listen to your opinions…bring them on, in the comments.

[arr] Nahin Samen - A.R. Rahman?
I have a doubt about the song Nahin Samne from Taal. As mentioned in the credits the main vocals in the song are by Hariharan and Sukhwinder Singh but I feel the humming part that comes after the first two lines Dekho chhodkedil ko aate hain... ihas vocals by A.R. Rahman. The same part repeats in the song but with vocals by Chorus. So is that first humming part bye A.R. Rahman?
Re: [arr] Oscar Watch: Composer

Hi Ramesh, Can you please tell me what should be there in Score to get nominated? Not to defend Rahman but just curious to know.
