A nice mention by Rivjot bro..! Not so long ago...with due respects, Usha Uthap 
sang the original Vande Mataram in her own style..there wasn't any hoopla 
and cry about it..!
 
And i don't understand why some of the veterans who have been soo successful in 
their hey days fail to whole heartedly accept the next gen Icons..??!!! I'm 
sure Manna Saab wouldn't be speaking his heart in the interview..since AR 
doesn't rest without touching the hearts of the people..!!! Manna Saab...you 
ought to speak from your heart

Right, its different composition and different lyrics. By the way, there is 
Vande Mataram by Usha Utthup as well (in movie Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham, lyrics 
by Bankim Chandar Chatterjee) and she also sings like 'Vand Mataram'

100% agree with your last statement - 'The old composers have done some great 
work, but they didnt come in outright praise of rahman in public..which is sad!'

 Even in Dil Se, since chaiya chaiya was inspired by baba bulleh shah's 
 poetry, rahman included a separate track of the original poetry ( although 
 the lyics were slightly changed

  one is talking about AR Rahman’s world-conquering ‘Jai Ho’ feat, or his 
  redefinition of ‘Vande Mataram’. 
  
  If a composition doesn’t appeal to him, the 91-year-old doyen won’t mince a 
  word. 
  
  “What’s this ‘Vandey Matram’ that he (Rahman) sang?,” he asks as he 
  almost breaks into mimicking the ‘Mozart from Madras’. “This is not the way 
  one wishes one’s mother,” he says, explaining “Pranaam karne ka bhi ek 
  tarika hota hai bhai... tarike se gao.” 
  
  And ‘Jai ho’ may have helped AR Rehman scale new heights, but the song 
  isn’t even among his best numbers in the eyes of Manna Dey. “What’s there 
  in ‘Jai Ho’?” he asks

[arr] Usual sequence of events just prior to a new ARR release

2010-04-14 Thread AJ
I think this is the order of things before a new ARR album:

1) Tentative date of music release appears online in the media. everyone is 
excited, yippee, hooray, can't waitetc. etc.

2) First promo is released.  ARR fans download the audio portion 
everywhere..play it in their ipods, their cars, their super stereos, even if 
the clip is 20 seconds in bad sound..but it's new ARR music...  Discussions 
abound.is it good?  ARR skeptics and naysayers chime in..I'm very 
disappointedalbum will be badwhat is ARR thinking  

3) Some funny person named Gopal in this group releases a fake track list and 
half of all ARR fans everywhere believe it.

4) Music release date comes.people go to the stores to ask about the 
CD...but no CD and store people give them funny lookseven claiming 
never having heard of the film.disappointing trip back home.  Where's the 
CD?  I thought it was going to release today!  Huh?  What's going on???  
Chaos, questions, uncertainty..

5) New music date announced in media!  Is it true?  What's the source?  Can we 
trust it???  Yes, this time it's for real!  

4) THE REAL track listing is provided by Gopal and posted on the official AR 
websiteexcitement builds, tensions mountAR fans starting to drool..

5) New music release date comes.people flock to stores, wait anxiously on 
the computers searching download sites...but.where's the music?  
Where's the CD?  What's going on?  ARREY YAAR...KYA HORA HAI??? 
Music was supposed to release today  Realization sets in that the launch 
function was set for the day, but CDs will take time to come out, another 2 
weeks, due to T-series screwing up something.  

6) Another music release date comes out by T-series.AR fans everywhere very 
apprehensive...but willing to wait..wait...wait.waitthe waiting 
gets harder everyday.. Will T series deliver?

7)Another promo is releaseda new songsomething to chew on while we wait 
for the feast...more discussions, more analyses, more downloads.more 
doubts.this doesn't sound like ARR...album will flop..I don't have a 
good feeling about this...etc. etc.  People on this group tell these people to 
shut up and not judge a whole album just by the clips (but inside, they're 
worried)

8) T series release date is changed again the day before the expected release 
date due to problems in packaging and distribution.AR fans everywhere curse 
T series, calling it bad names, asking why AR albums releases are always 
botched up and why always with T series...  Notable AR fans start to make calls 
to T series people demanding an explanation and a true release date.  Multiple 
release dates are subsequently announced and mass confusion, frustration, chaos 
among AR fans developswhich is the real date?  Huh?  Should I go to the 
music store that morning or not??   

9) Out of the blue, the album releases unexpectedly while people are frustrated 
and confused.  Downloading begins everywhere while AR fans urge other AR fans 
to not download and wait to buy the CD.

10) Discussions, reviews, analyses, opinions all come flooding out after 
hearing the album with at least one person saying the music is a complete 
disappointment.

Think of all the AR Hindi albums where AR did not sing a full song in the past 
10 years.Zubeidaa, 12 Ka 4, Nayak, Love U Hamesha, Legend of Bhagat Singh, 
Tehzeeb, Lakeer, Ghajini, Meenaxi, Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha, Mangal Pandey, Blue, 
Yuvvraaj (except for that short bit in the first song with Shreya).

How many of these music albums were a hit commercially?  How many of these 
movies were a rage?  You see?  It's only a correlation and of course, we all 
love many of the songs from these albums..but...AR not singing an a 
Hindi album has not correlated with good commercial success in the past both 
music and movie.

Now, think of all the Hindi albums that AR did sing in the past 10 years.
Lagaan, Saathiya, Swades, Yuva, Bose (movie never released), Rang De 
Basanti, Guru, Jodha Akbar, Jaane Tu, Ada (movie never released), Delhi 6.

How many of these music albums and movies from this list went on to become

Not necessarily. Ghajini is one of the biggest movies of all time. The music of

Ghajini was biggest hit of 2008 and still is 2nd biggest grosser of all time 
(after 3 idiots). Delhi-6 was not hit (movie). Some people still consider 
Swades average grosser, though in my opnion it was extremely good moie. 
So I am not sure how you categorized them.. because 'flop' list has gems like 
Meenaxi, Yuvvraaj, Zubiedaa

LOBS - I think it was decent at BO... and Bose, I am quite sure that it was 
released in theatres, just that I havnt seen it on DVD. 

Despite of all this, there surely is some relationship with ARR singing a song 
in the movie.. but not in as great intent as u tried to show :P

Oh finally...I was hoping to see how Rekha Bharadwaj sings an ARR
composition. I guess this will be the first, right?

 I think this is the order of things before a new ARR album:

 1) Tentative date of music release appears online in the media. everyone
 is excited, yippee, hooray, can't waitetc. etc.

 2) First promo is released.  ARR fans download the audio portion
 everywhere..play it in their ipods, their cars, their super stereos, even if
 the clip is 20 seconds in bad sound..but it's new ARR music...
 Discussions abound.is it good?  ARR skeptics and naysayers chime
 in..I'm very disappointedalbum will be badwhat is ARR
 thinking

 3) Some funny person named Gopal in this group releases a fake track list
 and half of all ARR fans everywhere believe it.

 4) Music release date comes.people go to the stores to ask about the
 CD...but no CD and store people give them funny lookseven claiming
 never having heard of the film.disappointing trip back home.  Where's
 the CD?  I thought it was going to release today!  Huh?  What's going
 on???  Chaos, questions, uncertainty..

 5) New music date announced in media!  Is it true?  What's the source?  Can
 we trust it???  Yes, this time it's for real!

 4) THE REAL track listing is provided by Gopal and posted on the official AR
 websiteexcitement builds, tensions mountAR fans starting to
 drool..

 5) New music release date comes.people flock to stores, wait anxiously
 on the computers searching download sites...but.where's the music?
 Where's the CD?  What's going on?  ARREY YAAR...KYA HORA HAI???
 Music was supposed to release today  Realization sets in that the
 launch function was set for the day, but CDs will take time to come out,
 another 2 weeks, due to T-series screwing up something.

 6) Another music release date comes out by T-series.AR fans everywhere
 very apprehensive...but willing to wait..wait...wait.waitthe
 waiting gets harder everyday.. Will T series deliver?

 7)Another promo is releaseda new songsomething to chew on while we
 wait for the feast...more discussions, more analyses, more
 downloads.more doubts.this doesn't sound like ARR...album will
 flop..I don't have a good feeling about this...etc. etc.  People on
 this group tell these people to shut up and not judge a whole album just by
 the clips (but inside, they're worried)

 8) T series release date is changed again the day before the expected
 release date due to problems in packaging and distribution.AR fans
 everywhere curse T series, calling it bad names, asking why AR albums
 releases are always botched up and why always with T series...  Notable AR
 fans start to make calls to T series people demanding an explanation and a
 true release date.  Multiple release dates are subsequently announced and
 mass confusion, frustration, chaos among AR fans developswhich is the
 real date?  Huh?  Should I go to the music store that morning or
 not??

 9) Out of the blue, the album releases unexpectedly while people are
 frustrated and confused.  Downloading begins everywhere while AR fans urge
 other AR fans to not download and wait to buy the CD.

 10) Discussions, reviews, analyses, opinions all come flooding out after
 hearing the album with at least one person saying the music is a complete
 disappointment.

 .and a whole other chapter within the AR Rahman journey begins
