Re: [arr] Re: THE RAHMAN TODAY

2010-08-15 Thread Vik Philler
Hi Taimur,

I can understand your disliking of a particular AR album or any of the albums 
from 2000 onwards.

But the problem with your posts are that...after reading your mails the reader 
feels that you want to convince others that AR's music is bad and he will be 
jobless very soon. Same is the case with Kishore.

and i am not a fool as well who will come up with use the SAME STYLE  of

do , why allegations of multiple ids are put on . tolerance has to prevail. and 
yes it was after 2005 that it all went wrong . Never felt a beautiful feeling 
for an A R RAHMAN hindi song after 2005 . just this could be the reason what

  No way... Iam sorry..I know u suspect me for that. Iam not a fool, to 
re-use the same style of writing after creating a new ID. And everyone in this 
group knows, that Iam straigtforward and at times outspoken.If I want to tell 
something, I will straight away tell it, whether it is positive or negative. I 
dont need a separate identity for that.

And I do disagree on many things he said. He said Raavan is good. I disagree on 
the same. (Except Naan Varuven).By the way, My reply to the thread starter is: 
Rahman is too busy as u said, and he cannot avoid Tamil films at the same 
time... But U must accept that, due to Rahman's busy schedule, there is heavy 
pressure on him. So he cannot handle the arrangements' department alone. So, he 
uses 6-8 people for the same. So, U cannot expect the complete Rahman magic in 
the arrangements or BGMs. That is just because time doesnt permit Rahman sir to 
handle everything alone.
Till around 2005, ARR concentrated on doing minimal work, with maximum quality. 
So he handled most of the things alone, and there was magic in every layer. But 
since, many people brought allegations that ARR is not accepting many offers, 
and he is disappointing the directors, ARR had to change his strategy, since 
the human-being in him did not want anyone to be disappointed. So, he had to 
delegate his arrangement work to many, due to the busy schedule. After the 
oscars, this pressure has tripled, and so has the quantity.
So, no one can blame ARR here for taking up projects, or not finding magic in 
his songs.
Do wait for 'Battleship' , his upcoming big project in Hollywood. You will find 
the 'Complete AR RAHMAN Signature' in it.
jai ho.
Once again to all: I dont need an alter ego to express my views! I have been in 
this group for years.. and i have shared everything positive and negative, 
using my own identity.

Jai ho.

Hi, i am great arr fan and i love his music. but it is sad to say that he also 
copies tunes. I have not noticed this before in his hindi alblums but i found 
it in 'Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya'. Actually he is known for originality. but 
thats' not true i think. May be he have used nepali tunes since nepali people 
don't listen tamil song and though no one will know it. Only i am the person to 
listen tamil songs as well since beign a fan of arr. The music starting from 
1:37 to 2:38 in Anbil Avan is ditto copy from one of the nepali songs. I dont 
remember the song but the music is exactly same. I doon't know why arr uses it. 
Also, the additional voices tune in Aaromale is also seems to be copied . I 
have already heard that tune in one of the nepali songs.IIf i wil find those 
nepali song then surely i will share in this group. Prevously Vishhal-shekar 
also copied
 some nepali tunes.
 
anyway arr is great.
 bye n enjoy arr music.

Re: [arr] Re: Sonu Nigam feels he was 'unused' in Yuvvraj

2008-11-17 Thread Vik Philler
Exactly I agree with you. It clearly shows how unprofessional Sonu is. He 
should not have commented to the media the way he did.

Sonu's attitude remind me of Kumar Sanu. I honestly feel that these guys should 
learn from ARR and his attitude. I still remember an award function where ARR 
was invited saying he had won for Dil Se and later presented the award to Kuch 
Kuch Hota Hai. When Javed Jaffri asked ARR's comments he said "God is great" or 
something like that. It shows the greatness of ARR's character.

Using a singer's voice is a music directors choice thats why ARR is 
music director and Sonu is a singer in their respective 
professionals.

I love Sonu's voice so let me start from here.I don;t know Chord's 
comment is correct or wrong but its his opinion and you may agree or 
disagree.

If its a less experienced singer woudnt have commented like that so 
Sonu being an experienced singer and has a lot of respect to ARR 
which was my understanding and why would he adddress the media 
stating his voice not utlised is something wrong with his attitude 
or its a HOAX information, or just a media speculation.but pls 
note : A fan or audience who buy that album can comment how the song 
and singer has sung it but a singer who gets paid cannot comment why 
he is not utilised. I personnaly feel its just not a singer's 
business. now I kinda understand where Chord's comments are coming 
from.

ARR want to be perfect wwanted to have Sonu's voice even if its just 
a harmony. e.g. Guzarish has sonu's voice just as a guest vocal. 
well, I think the media speculation so far is Sonu is being very 
generous on this coz hedoesnt do these guest vocals normally. 

again its just IMO.

No man. it is not a good idea to quit the forum because of some immature

While I appreciate Gopal's administration and moderation of this forum
and all that other members' have contributed in terms of bgm scores,
latest news, tracklisting, etc., I am feeling that the attacks,
accusations, and general nastiness has been increasing in frequency. 
This was not the case many years ago when the group first started, and
in fact, many of those senior members no longer post or have
unsubscribed.  I too will now be going down that road.  I really do
feel that I'm a bit too aged and seasoned for this teenage dominated
group and really don't have time to defend disproportionate attacks on
my opinions.  I have a family and important job to focus on.  My love
for ARR will continue forever. 

Thank you to all those members here who have appreciated my attempts
to raise more substantive discussions and insight into Rahman and his
music.  Really, your supportive comments have meant a lot to me and
have kept me going this far.  Rawat's comment on my latest post on
Sonu Nigam, accusing me of having an ego and that he finds my attitude
sickening is just one of many reasons that have accumulated over time
of why I will no longer be posting in this group.
