the media is overreacting. We aren't.

Guys,
It seems we are all overreacting at the moment over the feedback from the
press/media and politicians (and also audience) in general about the CWG
theme.
Things can be either good, bad or average - and each one of us normally try
to judge a song based on these three broad categories.
I appreciate we are all ARR fans and would lay our lives for him if
situation arise - but for a moment, think neutrally, think objectively. Its
only a feedback, only a review about one of his several compositions. The
reason media or politicians are vocal about it is because its an event of
*that* level. I know at times, we all get too swayed , even emotionally in
each of his works, and try to straighten things even for the smallest remark
made for him. But do you not think, that for him, as true fans, we should be
neutral, unbiased and honest in our review. I guess, this will be more
appreciated by him rather than being too much overhelmed with everything he
composes! The moot point is why are we taking everything to a very personal
level, *where the reviews are about the tracks and not about ARR, the
person!*
I have been a die hard fan of him since Roja and have always been very
patient and objective before jumping to conclusions. I heard this for many
many times, in my own sweet time and it didn't click me, no big deal! Its
not a bad song..just that I felt it didn;t fit the CWG ambience - CWG theme.
I only want to request all of you not to make a big deal about it. Reviews
will always be there - good or bad. If you liked it, well, good. If you
didn't nothing is lost. I would rather be upfrontly honest then have two
layers in my mind - just becos I have been a fan for many years?
Same argument for all the reviews - we all start micro-analysing the
reviewer, track down his history, his poor skills, and everything! I
strongly believe (and have put this statment earlier too - that music and
for that matter any form of art, is a subjective field. Someone will always
like it and someone will always find it less beautiful. Its not a cricket
match to either win or lose!
Not sure how many of you would agree with me, so chill, look forward to
Jhootha HI Sahi...and please give yourselves and other good time to listen
before ripping apart the reviews (or write the reviews).
Vande Mataram,
Ashok
