Re: [arr] BLUE THEME is inspired

Check the inspiration from this track lisen from 1:10...if you slow this down, 
it is almost same as blue theme. Also listen to the trailor background score, 
it is very similar again from 1:10.
I know people in this community will get mad at me. It is just my opinion and 
ARR is still the best. But I certainly feel that this is heavily inspired.
The other songs are awesome though

If using electronic guitars, drums amounts to inspiration, then what you say is 
true. Hell even the tempo of the tracks are different.

 THE MORE I LISTEN TO THE PROMO THE MORE I LIKE THE SONG .honestly almost in a

 only the 1:28 minute promo . am being krazy of the song.. in ma opinion ARR 
 used kylie well.. even though its a small promo .. 

 i could feel that kylie gonna rock this whole song..i donno y some ppl dint 
 like the song yet.. actually am dissapointed .. wen ARR fans says that. BUT 
 FOR ME this will be a Chartbuster. .

  times now and can't stop myself going overboard.

  

  I so hope this is a full on commercial album. I personally feel ARR 

  needs that recognition coming out a commercial album and a masala film

  Chennai: Oscar Winner A R Rahman on Saturday turned emotional 
over the plight of suffering Sri Lankan Tamils as an honorary doctorate was 
conferred upon him by Anna University.Speaking after receiving the doctorate, 
the music maestro said that he had been skipping functions in Tamil Nadu 
keeping in mind the plight of the Tamils suffering in Sri Lanka.Soon after I 
won the Oscar, I was invited for several functions in Tamil Nadu. But I had 
avoided them because many Tamils were
 suffering in Sri Lanka. I hope that a solution will come, he stated.If I had 
hurt anyone by not accepting their invitations, I apologise to them, he said, 
adding, this was his second function in Tamil Nadu after winning the Oscar.He 
said the first public function he had attended was the inauguration of Apollo 
Children's Hospital a few days ago.

Completely agreed. Vaaranam Aayiram was the best album of the year in tamil and

Guys relax. It is just the reviewer's opinion. A lot of people will like 
Rahmsn's voice and some may not. It will not stop a true rahman fan from having 
his/her own assessment of music and Rahman's voice. So it is better to sit 
aside and enjoy the music rather than be bothered about the personal opinion of 
someone.

  What can be said about AR Rahmanhttp://buzz18. in.com/celebrity -profile/ 
  ar-rahman/ 1331 that

  hasn't been said before? Here's something: His vocals don't cut it.

  Honestly, it's upsetting to have a legendary composer push himself as a

  vocalist when there are great singers around. A minor clarification -

  'great' does not mean Sukhwinder Singhhttp://buzz18. in.com/celebrity 
  -profile/ sukhwinder- singh/2462.

  Also, it's obvious Rahman's trying very hard to put himself out there as a

  vocalist, since he has 'handpicked' songs he has sung on.

 

  Percussion is king on *Jiya Se Jiya*, a lovable tune dampened by AR 
  Rahmanhttp://buzz18. in.com/celebrity -profile/ ar-rahman/ 1331's

  voice right from the start. *Khalballi* is a wonderful example of how some

  music should released without vocals. Ever wished you could choke someone by

  just thinking about it?

 

  *Meherbaan* from *Ada*'s soundtrack is a classy song. The music is

  perfect, and after a long time Rahman's voice sounds bearable. Surprisingly,

  it sounds alright even when he goes higher on this one. *Dil Se *has

  kick*ss music, there's plenty going on and it all fits right in. For those

  who long for the Rahman of yore, you'll find some of him in here. *Ek

  Mohabbat 'Vote For Taj'* is like the other songs on the compilation. ..

  well composed. Almost every track is Rahman attempting to show his mellow

  side, which is terrible for this collection because there's very little here

  that actually 'connects'. By the time *Pray For Me Brother* comes on,

  you're ready to toss the CD case at someone just to start a fight out of

  sheer boredom.

 

  The fabulous *Bombay Theme* overshadows everything else on this

  compilation. Not only has Rahman done the music a huge favour by not

  singing, but the composition is also excellent. *Bombay Theme* is the only

  song on this collection that is full of soul. The rest is stuff that will be

  praised to death because it has Rahman's name on it.

 

  The instrumental version of *Pray For Me Brother* sounds better than the

  original, but may very well be played while you're having free lunch at a

  wedding. It's pretty pointless to have a *Club Mix* of *Jiya Se Jiya*, and

  it's even more stupid to make something like that, but then everyone wants

  to make money, yes?

 

  My only beef with Rahman is that his singing is dull. He's bloody good at

  composing music, and manages to sing with sincerity. But sincerity does not

  always ensure quality.*'A Journey Through Anthems'*, the CD says, but how

  many of these tracks can actually be called 'anthems'? Sorry to break it to

  you, but except for *Bombay Theme*, there is nothing else on this CD that

  comes close to being an anthem.

 

  What use is a compilation that doesn't feature some of the artiste's best

  work? Is it an attempt at showcasing his lesser known songs? Or is it an

  effective money-squeezing exercise, considering fanboys will buy it anyway?

 

  The biggest question here is, how many musicians who sing about peace and

  hugs actually care? Do musicians and music labels not know everyone cannot

  be fooled and some people can actually tell when an artiste is cementing his

  popularity among the public that doesn't know better? It's really not that

  hard to recognise a poseur, y'know?

 

  *VERDICT*

 

  Maybe the best of Rahman's work has been kept aside for future

  compilations. Neat way of ensuring the cash never stops flowing, but too

  obvious. And way too pretentious. I bet all your Michael 
  Jacksonhttp://buzz18. in.com/celebrity -profile/ michael-jackson/ 2832 CDs

  have been dusted, so just continue spinning 'em if you want to listen to

  songs about peace.

 

  *RATING*: 2.5/5

My second concert. Honestly was disappointed with the first half but had fun in

different from his previous concert at bangalore. The main singers sang well 
but Rahman was a little below his best. Was surprised about the rehearsal 
levels. 

The ending and Mustafa were great and got the crowd back to full fledge
