where many south musicians wanted to venture but failed. And that is again why he managed to storm into Hollywood and succeed there as well. I don't want to tell your good gentleman friend to listen to Rehnuma before deciding on the lack of soul topic. In all probabilites, his love for ARR's carnatic touch is what preventing him from finding other genres as soul-less. But growing up with ARR's music, my only wish is that ARR doesn't limit himself to a particular system of music. I don't ever want to state that I love ARR's music because he brings out the carnatic touch so beautifully, or that his western music is to die-for!

[arr] Re: Right to opinion - do you think these songs lack soul?
like Sowkiyama from Sangamam a-little-too-hard-to-digest. But ARR's music was never catered to fulfil a certain section's need. The beauty of his music is that he never left any stones untouched. There's always something for everyone. That is why he, a Tamilian, could create a storm in the Bollywood, a territory where many south musicians wanted to venture but failed.

Gopal, This group used to be a great forum previously but the fact that many new people are fearing to accept any criticism these days! ARR fans have the right to criticise ARR. Right to constructive criticism will be only a healthy leading indicator and which will be wholeheartedly welcomed by the Master himself. But unfortunately there aren't too many members who like constructive criticisms these years. Had one valid point from a member saying that probably lesser usage of carnatic raagas might be the reason. Reasonings like those will be an eye-opener and will help in identifying the reason. What justification to be given when it simply lacks soul? V R Sriram
