I think we've all listened to this song and are aware of Lionel Richie. Even I 
bet that ARR has also lstened to this woderful song. It's an amzing song 
indeed. All time favourite of many people around the globe. Thank you for 
reminding me of this song.

Music lovers first, right?

Forgive for this non ARR post, but I just had to share one of my favorite 
American slow songs of the 1980s sung by Lionel Richie called Hello. It's one 
of the most beautiful slow songs I have ever heard and the melody, video, and 
lyrics combined are extremely touching, albeit a bit on the cheesy side by 
today's standards, but still sincere and touching. 

I also bring this song up because it really also reminds me of ARR's style and 
way of composing a beautiful slow romantic songdelicate, touching, gentle 
instrumentation, sincerity. The closest I can think of is Shauk Hai from 
Guru. I bet ARR himself loves this song too. If he hasn't heard this beauty, 
someone please pass this on to him!!! This is really a Rahmantic song from the 
West!

Enjoy this - it's a beauty.

There is nothing wrong with the song. Its a hit nation wide. Its topping the 
charts currently. 
Big guns like Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt are involved. Hence the media 
creates controversies like these.
Dont go by these baseless news.

Hi All,

Everyone here, including me, had some great expectations from Kylie  Rahman's 
collaboration and expected the song to be a hit.

Though its unfair to expect a repeat of Chaiyya Chaiyya, which revived the 
career of Sukhvinder, still I expected something new

I dared not to write any comment earlier, bcos I wanted ample time to get this 
song to grow on me, before I write anything...

After all these days of listening , I have this opinion... just an opinion mind 
you...

I think that the real culprit is Sonu Nigam !! His voice is so artificial and 
make-believe. .. yes I am using word artificial and make-believe. .. because 
listen to chiggy wiggy from 3:27 onwards you'll know what i mean...

I found his voice more original in Satrangi re from 01:03 onwards...

I strongly feel Daler Mehndi or Sukhvinder singh would have been a better 
choice.. maybe even KK... but not Sonu, his voice doesn't suit for this song !!

The other reason is the rhythm (I dont know what they call it, beat, rhythm 
whatever) that Rahman has used, the one which has already been popular. Right 
from the beginning, whenever I listen to this song I feel like listening to 
Pritam's Zara Zara..

Chiggy Wiggy would have been a super-hit if it had been done before Zara 
Zara... Cos Zara Zara caught peoples imagination with the sensuous swaying of 
Katrina Kaif to the music of Pritam..

The next culprit is the sound quality, I think the recording engineer wanted 
the listener to hear all the sounds of the song at the same time... I feel that 
the sounds that were supposed to be in the background were brought forward 
along with all the percussions and the lead voices (This is the case with all 
the songs of Blue, H.Sridhar's loss is very evident here) .. it feels really 
horrible when listened on a high end sound system.. its even more horrible on 
small time audio systems, especially in office cabs !! 

Donno why, but after sonu's voice takes over the song, I couldnt help but 
wanted the song to end quickly !!! And when the song ends, it felt very 
peaceful, as if after the storm...

I feel let down, when my colleagues at office talk abt chiggy wiggy and compare 
it with Zara Zara... I realised that everyone feels that chiggy wiggy is an 
extension of zara zara

As for the sound quality of the songs in Blue... I have a high end audio system 
in my car, with blaupunkt woofer(its awesome !) pioneer 2 din head unit, 
blaupunkt 800 watt amplifier, jbl speakers... I expected the songs of blue to 
blow me over with the sound... but it was too jarry...

Fanaa from Yuva is the benchmark that i use in my car.. the beats in Fanaa are 
simply superb and it puts the woofer to its ultimate test, literally... I play 
this song at volume level of 8 with A/c on (my system supports 30 i think). 
Believe me, U have to listen to Fanaa in my car and experience the quality !!! 

But with Blue I feel that the recording quality is so horrible that I cant play 
any song beyond the volume level of 3 !!! Blue Theme and Fiqraana are 
exceptional and have a awesome beat, but the Bass recording is too bad (I am 
a novice at the technical terms used in the music production, so pls excuse me)

That's it for now.. will write more later

bye !!

2005-06-19 Thread rohith ravi
thanx anand that reply belongs to a true rahmanfan.
i agree wit you completely.we shudnt waste time by
such discussions anymore right??.we are wasting our
time and rahmans music is gettin underrated these days
which is even made abhijet(singer) to say there are
many MDs in india better than rahman.
just think, it has been a long time since rahman had a
decent hit.we shud be discussin the reasons for this
prblm,especially in the tamil industry.a few years
back,rahmans music meant sure hit.still no one wud
tell his music is borin and we know its still that
sharp.its just that he isnt gettin the right
film.doing a film like bose which is a sure flop wont
do anythin.

--- Anand Bharathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Rohith,
 
 I think this group has gone through this rigmarole
 many times before.  Lemme give my views here.
 According to me a genius like ARR can never
 blatantly lift or copy because once your mind is
 thinking at such a creative level you just can't
 think of copying someone else's work. Having said
 that I am not saying his music may not be inspired.
 Just think, is there anything in this world which
 can be truly original, especially something like
 music which is from the time of creation itself.
 There are so many forms and genres and so many
 musicians that music is bound to overlap.  I am
 happy even if ARR is 95% original and 5% inspired
 (not copied or lifted). To me if the music touches
 your heart it is original. And sure his music has
 touched millions. I don't care what others say. I
 don't see why you should be ashamed when someone
 says ARR copied.  I think the way we project him to
 people really matters. If you tell people that he is
 the only 100% original composer, defenitely you will
 be challenged as everyone interprets music in a
 different way.  And one can never be a complete
 authority in all types of music. I never get into
 arguments about things like copying and lifting
 because I lack musical knowledge. Instead I tell
 people to compare his music with the output from
 other musicians and even an idiot can say that ARR
 is way ahead without considering factors like hits
 or flops, box office, popularity etc. So just leave
 out the very very few instances when he might have
 been inspired and look at his whole body of work.
 Defenitely you judgment cannot get clouded by that
 small % of inspiration that you don't have time to
 appreciate the other part of his music.  To me ARR
 still continues to give great music, as good as his
 earlier days but probably lacks popular appeal
 because the standard of the masses have fallen and
 not his music. We Indians are always fond of the
 numbers game so naturally there is bound to be more
 criticism when he may not be topping the popularity
 charts.  To me geniuses like ARR never falter, they
 may have their low periods but will always be
 remembered. Common man, let us enjoy his creativity
 and not argue about songs from history.

Re: [arr]: Annd Milnd Lftd dirctly frm Rhmn's aal COPYCAT rahman

2005-06-18 Thread rohith ravi
in the beginin of raaga dance rahman used a loop which
is there in sample loops which almost all musicians
occupy( i guess its the same with anand milind).i once
told in the group about some songs which rahman
copied/lifted/inspired/ etc..and i got mixed
responses,like some teaching me meaning of the word
copy ,one going deep into my character( he shud be a
phycologist)and even it was recommended that i should
be thrown out of this group.but only one guy replied
properly and explained about beats and drums available
with MDs.i had given a list of songs in which rahman
had used music that doesnt belong him. and none was
able to explain them properly and completely.it was 
from this group itself i reached at the site IESPANA
and found many such cases.
  a true fan of rahman shud not encourage him using
others' music.we shud not be blind of rahman craze but
shud be right kind of fans.he is ofcrse the king and i
fell he is far beyond better than any other musician
india has ever seen.he is really havin the potential
to go international.but we shudnt mislead him by
blindly praising such false sides of his music.just
consider songs jumbalika ,parkathe etc. they were mere
direct lifts. 
i dont care being out of the group for this
mail.bcoz i beleve im a true fan and i will criticize
him. the lifted cases were told to me by my
friends.i was well known in my school for being an ARR
fan but these cases made me ashamed and i had no
explanation to give them.

 Also, the theme song (lyrics in 3 languages in the
 same song) of 'Amrita TV' is a brilliantly-shot one
 and the song - which goes 'Loka samasta sukhino
