subject:"\[arr\] no\!\!\!\!\!no\!\!\!\!\!\!"

great one, Yeshrao.. loved reading it.

I have always felt that his music had the power of creating positive energy
whenever listening to it.  I don't believe in god or religion.  but his
music is what makes me connect to the spirituality which for me is feeling
smaller, being thankful.. showing gratitude and doing something good.

he has shown me that with his music and life.

 Today I sat down to think what AR Rahman means to me and ...

 AR Rahman - the name does not just stands for world class music - which is
 a well known fact!

 For me, ARR is also about peace, humility, perseverance, respect,
 inspiration, divinity, politeness, patriotism, wisdom, teamwork, creative
 genius, spiritual, caring, one who respects mother, one who pushes his
 ability every time to redefine something no one else has achieved and so
 many other noble qualities.

 I am deeply saddened by the fact that media does not know the real worth of
 such a lovely Indian and is too quick to forget the pride he has brought to
 our country! ARR should come out of this and redeem his lost pride and
 answer his critics with his music!

 I thought this episode must have created pain within ARR and upset him a
 lot...But then I realized his words of wisdom All fame is God's and God
 given; He does not own anything in this world including fame, money etc...
 Therefore if fame or money were to go away from him suddenly, he stands to
 lose nothing and its again God's wish.

 He is such a great person and proved himself so much that his fame can
 never be diminished, despite petty events like this one...

 Something in me says that this will be a new phase in ARR's career and he
 is going to create several Roja's and Dil Se's all again (though they woul
 be musically quite different). Something in me says that ARR is going to
 create path-breaking scores never before attempted. Something in me says the
 whole world is going to celebrate our man like never before.

 This expectation and my belief that it will be met 100% by ARR is what
 keeps me going crazily after him. I wish and would like him to be regarded
 as the best globally...which is quite within reach given his talents! I am
 waiting for that day..the day when FIFA asks Rahman to score the anthem or
 when Spielberg asks Rahman to score for his film or when Rahman releases his
 own album globally and stumps everyone

No need for RTI. There was a GoI press release about this which mentions the 
total contract value with ARR.
http://pib.nic.in/release/release.asp?relid=64676

There's more work (lyrics by Mehboob, video with Bharat Bala...) than just 
composing the song. ARR is performing at the opening ceremony as well. We do 
not 
know the full extent of his involvement. But c'mon! Given all his charity work 
would you think that he would overcharge for something like this?

The media is on a witch-hunt right now so it's convenient for them to publish 
whatever they want. Don't fan the flames. It's amazing how much of the 
criticism 
about the Games has now been focused solely on the music. 


A few weeks ago when a journalist angrily questioned the delay with releasing 
the song, I defended her right to ask the question. At that time it seemed that 
the press was asking hard questions because it mattered and not because of TRP 
ratings. Now I see it's a facade since they're all after masala stuff to sell. 
The IBNLive hack-job masquerading as an article doesn't even have an author 
mentioned. Every Tom, Dick and Hariharan who blogs or tweets, gets quoted in 
articles as if they're music buffs with expert opinions.

Don't make this an issue despite how ugly it looks. Ignore it. Be civil and 
diplomatic if you're correcting friends who've been misled by the articles. The 
media will stop when there isn't enough interest in it.

And for the devious side in you...
When people have already formed a misguided opinion it's hard to make them 
change if you point facts directly. Use satire to make them think about how 
ludicrous it is. We already know about the awesome conclusion by IBNLive that 
the film score to Fire was a flop because it was not easily available in India 
and could be obtained only by mail order from Germany. Extending that thought 
here are some tweet-lines:


* IBNLive says Mughal-e-Azam is a flop because it is not available in 
Sanskrit 
dubbing.
* V.K. Malhotra doesn't like Australia's 2006 Commonwealth Games song 
either- 
Their song is slower than Rahman's. They should have used Shakira.
* V.K Malhotra also does not like coconut chutney. Rediff reports that 
Kerala 
is angry when he asked for mint chutney instead. 


* TimesOfIndia research shows that Waka Waka is more popular than Jana 
Gana 
Mana based on downloads. Please participate in the poll for changing the 
national anthem.
* Calcutta Telegraph breaking news-- Sports minister Shanawaz Hussain 
wants 
Rabindranath Tagore grand-daughter to update national anthem since it is too 
slow. There is not enough Shakira in it.
* Indian media secures top prize in transparency and integrity awards 
U2CanBJournoWorld 2010. Congratulate them! Only one country participated since

Rehman sir's music helped me overcome so many dreadful moments in my life, that 
i feel indebted to him. Just like all your loyal fans, I'm also with you. I 
feel going up to him and giving him a hug. I don't know how he's feeling right 
now, after all these fiasco, but I'm very depressed. It's like a nightmare to 
me. It's not because of many people didn't like the song, but for the 
allegations that have been raised. They are questioning his dedication. In the 
last 10-15 years the most popular and surreal patriotic songs are all his 
compositions. How can the media be so ignorant. How ca they so easily forget 
what he has done for this country. Very sad, very sad. I know i shouldn't be 
saying this but I think ARR should leave bollywood and start doing Hollywood 
movies exclusively and concentrate more on his global career. Because it seems 
everyone is going with the media. I feel like India doesn't deserve you sir.
Sorry for being a bit confrontational, but when it comes to ARR I'm very 
emotional.

[image: ARR’s students leave listeners enthralled]

The air was filled with exquisite music, from Mozart’s symphonies to
Beethoven’s entrancing melodies. Students of the KM Music Conservatory, the
school started by India’s most famous music composer A.R. Rahman, showed
their sublime skills and high musical standards at the KMMC piano recital.

Their flair and passion for music was in evidence, as the students, of
varying ages, showcased symphonies ranging from W.A. Mozart’s Arioso to
special songs arranged by the Mozart of Madras A.R. Rahman himself.

Dr Surojeet Chatterji, handpicked by Rahman, trained all these students in a
short span of six months. “These students are my babies. They have learnt
music in a little over six months. Rahman saab brought me from California to
teach these students and it feels great to make a complete circle and come
back to India after living so many years overseas.”

Among the performers, there were many who stood out. Some of the hot
favourites were P. Shridhar, who enthralled the audience by playing
‘Breakers on the Ocean’ and Jerine Joseph who played ‘Prelude’ in D-minor
and received much applause. Then there was Prince Mulla, who moved his hands
with skill and grace on the ivory keys and brought the piano to life by
playing Webber’s Scherzo. Another whizkid was S. Arjun, whose composition
dedicated to A.R. Rahman left the audience spellbound. Being visually
challenged, he has overcome the world and proved his passion for music.

Madam Fathima, A.R. Rahman’s sister, reports, “Every student’s recital was
mind-blowing. Dr Chatterji is another diamond in the crown of KMMC. He has
tapped every individual’s talent to the fullest extent.”
Pritpal Halwarvi, a parent proudly notes, “Dr Chatterji has brought the
piano to life. The school provides a great platform for children to showcase
their talent. KMMC should have many branches all over the country and every
branch should have another Dr Surojeet Chatterji.”Adds Pietra Brettkelly, an
expat and a documentarian from New Zealand, “It’s amazing to see the love
for music in these students, it’s incredible. I had tears rolling down. When
the students stated that they had a connection between their love for nature
and music, it proved that their musical abilities were out of sheer
interest. Now I am tempted to learn music from Dr. Chatterji!”

 I work as a Database Developer and I am hobby musician. Combining those two 
 interests I once put some effort into creating a database around ARR's music. 
 My goal was to capture all the information that is usually associated with a 
 typical ARR's album (Track Lists, Singers, Musicians, Engineers involved, 
 Studios involved etc). But besides this, I also wanted something along the 
 lines of Music Genome Project, wherein some musical attributes are identified 
 in each ARR's song/album. And the third goal (though, I assume it would be a 
 bit hard to reach) is to identify the gear used in ARR's songs. This would 
 include the software used, the different kinds of Mics used, Effect Boxes 
 (Equalizers, Compressors etc) used and so forth.
 
 The first goal of getting various credits involved is the one that can be 
 easily done. This is usually available in different formats and that could be 
 massaged per the DB design.
 
 The second goal of associating some musical attributes can be a bit hard and 
 involves some work from musically knowledgeable people. I did some as sample 
 data and we could proceed along those lines (please look into the 
 attachment). 
 
 The third goal of getting all the gear used might be the toughest one (and to 
 an extent could be ARR's trademark secrets, so cannot be let known to general 
 public), but if any data/information is be available through ARR's associates 
 or other knowledgeable people, it would add a great deal of knowledge. In the 
 west we see a great deal of information being shared on the gear being used 
 and how. I would love to see that kind of information coming out of our 
 Indian musicians and studios. ARR himself mentions some of the 
 gear/production techniques he uses in his interviews with Music vendors (for 
 example, on Apple website, ARR mentioned he processed drums in Ringa Ringa 
 through Native Instruments Guitar Rig and so on).
 
 Anyways, I came up with a scratch design some time back. Attached in this 
 email are the various files regarding this (will explain what each file is 
 shortly). The third goal which I mention above is not yet included in this 
 design. But the other two are in there, atleast in a first draft format.
 
 The attachment in the link (http://www.4shared.com/file/3_BIOAIK/MusicDB.html
 ) has the following:
 1. ARRMusic.bak - This is the backup file of the database I built in SQL 
 Server 2000.
 2. MusicDB ERD.vsd - This is the ERD (MS Visio format) of the above database. 
 This should give you an idea of what I tried then.
 3. Object Script.sql - A Simple script used to create the tables and some 
 sample views
 4. Sample Data Entry.sql - A script I used to enter some sample data (most of 
 this data is accurate, some changes might be required here and there).
 5. Sample Queries.sql - Some typical queries
 6. Export - Sample Data.xls - An export of the sample data entered above in 
 excel format
 7. Export - Sample Queries.xls - Some sample data queried based on the data 
 entered.
 
 Please let me know if I can be of any assistance in this matter. Or if this 
 design would be of any use (we can change as needed).

 Today I sat down to think what AR Rahman means to me and ...

 AR Rahman - the name does not just stands for world class music - which is a 
 well known fact!

 For me, ARR is also about peace, humility, perseverance, respect, 
 inspiration, divinity, politeness, patriotism, wisdom, teamwork, creative 
 genius, spiritual, caring, one who respects mother, one who pushes his 
 ability every time to redefine something no one else has achieved  and so 
 many other noble qualities.

 I am deeply saddened by the fact that media does not know the real worth of 
 such a lovely Indian and is too quick to forget the pride he has brought to 
 our country! ARR should come out of this and redeem his lost pride and answer 
 his critics with his music!

 I thought this episode must have created pain within ARR and upset him a 
 lot...But then I realized his words of wisdom All fame is God's and God 
 given; He does not own anything in this world including fame, money etc... 
 Therefore if fame or money were to go away from him suddenly, he stands to 
 lose nothing and its again God's wish.

 He is such a great person and proved himself so much that his fame can never 
 be diminished, despite petty events like this one...

 Something in me says that this will be a new phase in ARR's career and he is 
 going to create several Roja's and Dil Se's all again (though they woul be 
 musically quite different). Something in me says that ARR is going to create 
 path-breaking scores never before attempted. Something in me says the whole 
 world is going to celebrate our man like never before.

 This expectation and my belief that it will be met 100% by ARR is what keeps 
 me going crazily after him. I wish and would like him to be regarded as the 
 best globally...which is quite within reach given his talents! I am waiting 
 for that day..the day when FIFA asks Rahman to score the anthem or when 
 Spielberg asks Rahman to score for his film or when Rahman releases his own 
 album globally and stumps everyone

Just Revisited 2 great Films by ARR... This time with Concentration on BGM and 
acting skills of actors.. Was just astonished to see the way the BGMs proceed 
on.. 


The 2 films were The Legend of Bhagath Singh and Iruvar.

The BGMs exactly matched the situation. That too for Iruvar it was typically 
set 
as though it was composed during the older days. For legend of bhagath singh it 
was so patriotic. 


The Music of  TLBS is almost forgotten by many. The Mahive and jogiya songs are 
good medium paced melody songs... Cant get better. The song of Desh mere, mera 
rang de basanti, sarfaroshi ki tamanna(both versions) can make any one 
understand what INDIA was to the three freedom fighters. Perfectly placed.

  No need for RTI. There was a GoI press release about this which mentions
  the total contract value with ARR.
  http://pib.nic.in/release/release.asp?relid=64676
 
  There's more work (lyrics by Mehboob, video with Bharat Bala...) than just
  composing the song. ARR is performing at the opening ceremony as well. We do
  not know the full extent of his involvement. But c'mon! Given all his
  charity work would you think that he would overcharge for something like
  this?
 
  The media is on a witch-hunt right now so it's convenient for them to
  publish whatever they want. Don't fan the flames. It's amazing how much of
  the criticism about the Games has now been focused solely on the music.
 
  A few weeks ago when a journalist angrily questioned the delay with
  releasing the song, I defended her right to ask the question. At that time
  it seemed that the press was asking hard questions because it mattered and
  not because of TRP ratings. Now I see it's a facade since they're all after
  masala stuff to sell. The IBNLive hack-job masquerading as an article
  doesn't even have an author mentioned. Every Tom, Dick and Hariharan who
  blogs or tweets, gets quoted in articles as if they're music buffs with
  expert opinions.
 
  Don't make this an issue despite how ugly it looks. Ignore it. Be civil and
  diplomatic if you're correcting friends who've been misled by the articles.
  The media will stop when there isn't enough interest in it.
 
  And for the devious side in you...
  When people have already formed a misguided opinion it's hard to make them
  change if you point facts directly. Use satire to make them think about how
  ludicrous it is. We already know about the awesome conclusion by IBNLive
  that the film score to Fire was a flop because it was not easily available
  in India and could be obtained only by mail order from Germany. Extending
  that thought here are some tweet-lines:
 
 
 - IBNLive says Mughal-e-Azam is a flop because it is not available in
 Sanskrit dubbing.
 - V.K. Malhotra doesn't like Australia's 2006 Commonwealth Games song
 either- Their song is slower than Rahman's. They should have used 
  Shakira.
 - V.K Malhotra also does not like coconut chutney. Rediff reports that
 Kerala is angry when he asked for mint chutney instead.
 - TimesOfIndia research shows that Waka Waka is more popular than Jana
 Gana Mana based on downloads. Please participate in the poll for changing
 the national anthem.
 - Calcutta Telegraph breaking news-- Sports minister Shanawaz Hussain
 wants Rabindranath Tagore grand-daughter to update national anthem since 
  it
 is too slow. There is not enough Shakira in it.
 - Indian media secures top prize in transparency and integrity awards
 U2CanBJournoWorld 2010. Congratulate them! Only one country participated
 since the others refused to pay the entry fee to host nation, India.

[arr] Headlines today channel bashing rahman like anything...

2010-09-02 Thread live for arr Live

yesterday night at 9.30 there was a show for this cwg theme song. they called 
2-3 ppl and asked them to talk about this song. They were just spoiling 
rhaman's 
name like anything. Singer sreenivas spoke highly of the song, and he was not 
allowed to speak more than 30 sec and they cut his call. it was really 
disturbing to see the programme. Didnt have a good sleep after that

Re: [arr] CWG track..heres my take

for me, this whole CWG song thing shows the true colors of Indian politics
and media.

they don't mind making a big issue out of a trivial thing like the theme
music.. but they can't even organize the event properly.

it's as if they all were of waiting for an opportunity to bash rahman while
both the opposition and the government has shown that they are nothing but
idiots.

I want to say a lot of things about all these things we read in the media..
but that will probably have 10 times more profanities than the Scarface
movie. lol

so, i am just accepting the fact that India only works this way.  our
government, media and politicians like to blame each other like they always
do in the parliament. we are third world and with these kind of people in
media and politics, we will stay that way forever.

while I loved the CWG song.. i too think that the 5.5 cr was a bit too much
to spend for a song and performance.  they should probably have focused more
on how to manage the event and bad press.   i didn't mean that AR didn't
deserve it.  but, it's a lot of money for a country like India and common
men will think that it was a rip off.

we fans here don't think of it as a big issue as we love him. but it is
still an issue.

Plus, for an event like these people will except more glamor and obviously
that is also the reason why people were put off by the song. that is the
reason why everyone is now comparing it to Waka Waka.

I have a lot more to say about this whole stinking politics. but this is not
the forum for that. so,  this here is my last post about CWG song.   and
hoping that this won't affect AR's reputation and respect that he truly
deserves.

 I truly agree with this. I don't think people were expecting a Waka Waka or
 a Maa Tujhe Saalam or even a Maro Maro from ARR. If yes, then all these
 ideas would have been expressed to him during composition process itself and
 not now, when the track has been released. The problem is that everything
 has become very political and competitive now. It's no longer about hosting
 CWG, it's about hosting a better CWG than Beijing's Olympics! Why
 Beijing's Olympics? Because it was a huge hit! If China can do it, then we
 can do better!

 When ARR was requested to compose the CWG theme, there wasn't any talks
 about comparison with any other themes whatsoever. But now that Waka Waka is
 a huge hit, all of a sudden, we want ARR to compose something better than
 Waka Waka. If Shakira can do it, why not ARR? Yes, Shakira could do it,
 because she didn't have the pressure of being constantly compared to every
 Tom, Dick and Harry. No ministers approved of her song and then turn
 around saying that they were disappointed with the same. People just enjoyed
 the song for what it is and it became a huge hit!

 In my humble opinion, we have just forgotten where our priorities lie.
 Hosting a CWG is not only a huge responsibility but it's also a great
 privilege. There is no need to compare ourselves with our counterparts and
 go around bragging that we'll do better than them. Instead, if  we just
 concentrate on hosting a good games in the manner we know best, I'm pretty
 sure people will start to appreciate them as well.

 Few years back, i was in a gathering where people were sayin AR Rahman is
 spoiling the present music scene with 'computer music' and all his songs
 sound same with 'western beats' and no proper pronunciation.

 I ignored it and later played this track called Poo Kodiyin Punnagai from
 Iruvar. They all said look at those days music..what melody and each
 word is so clear and soft to ears...these days rahman and other can't even
 imaging to compose music like this!

 to this i replied ... This track is by AR Rahman ..from Iruvar.. .. they
 were just dump struck and chewed their own words..

 *( for those of you unaware, this track sounds very retro like those in
 Black and White days..killer track!!)*

 So the point is, if we approach things with pre-conceived notion, nothing
 can change the mindset.

 Commonwealth games has a not lot negative air now. What with scams,
 incomplete works and New Delhi dug up...people are not happy. One theme song
 can't improve things and it will succumb to pressures. Even if Rahman would
 have composed a fast track like Waka Waka, Maro Maro ( Boys)...people would
 have said the same.

 We are dealing with politicians here...remember!

 So chill.

  1. There is a story of Michelangelo -- if I am not wrong -- which I heard
  recently. It seems that he was painting beautiful pictures at the back of
  the
  church.
  People told him you are a fool because you are not painting in the front
  where
  people can appreciate your work.
  The answer was: I do my work for God. I think he can watch it anywhere.
  I thought it was a brilliant answer because everything doesn't need to have
  instant appreciation. Even if one of you have appreciated those fine
  nuances,
  that is enough for me.
 
  2. No one can be completely original, because the notes are already there.
  I do
  a lot of fusion from different traditions including Bach, Beethoven, Mozart,
  reggae, rock and Carnatic music — my favourites. As far as possible, i try
  to be
  original. The rest is up to Allah.
 
  3. We have to push ourselves in any field, whether we like it or not. It is
  just the question of your mindset. We need to adjust and look into our own
  selves. The moment you have this attitude that whatever you do is the best,
  you
  will cease to grow or for that matter experiment, which is very necessary
  for
  creation. I mainly work by instinct.
 
  4. Any great love song, when attributed to a divine source, gets an extra
  dimension People say any love that is immortal is divine love… The
  inspiration,
  therefore, is a divine one..
 
  5. I also believe in karma. When you do good and think good, there're bound
  to
  be good things happening in your life too. The good wishes you earn in this
  lifetime are the real awards. Good work may or may not get you the awards,
  but you will always reap the benefits of good wishes, that's the real

Rajib,

I appreciate your request for experiences and rare stuff. That should
certainly be more a part of our group's discussions.

However, this is a FAN group. As fans, we praise and appreciate ARR. A
lot of us are emotional about ARR and his music and hence express our
emotions here too positively in praise of him. I don't see anything wrong
in that. If you don't appreciate that part of our group, that's fine, but
please don't expect others to suddenly rake in praises for ARR when a lot of
us do feel emotional about him and his music. It only comes naturally to a
lot of us.

Now, I don't approve of being a fanboy and throwing praises to each and
every ARR song or release. I also appreciate constructive criticism and I
have been critical of ARR's music in the past.

I agree with the overall theme of your post that either extreme is not
goodtoo much praise and too much negativity.

Some here have alluded and insinuated that I only write about ARR in a
positive way or write large reviews just to attract attention from ARR and
create hype. That is utterly and completely false. Those who know me
personally know that I am sincere about my write ups about ARR and his music
and that I just don't hype things up just to attract praise or ARR's
attention. For me, it's a form of self expression, almost like another
artthe art of appreciating ARR and his music. I repeat, I do NOT
consider myself a fanboy and I do NOT create writeups just for hype and
praise. I have much better things to do in my life like being a father to
my 2 small chlidren, working a professional job, being a good husband and
son, and being a good citizen in general. I'm a lot more secure about
myself than some of you think I am.

So, those of you in this group who like to throw barbs at me every now and
then, please stop as your accusations and insinuations have no bearing or
ground whatsoever except your crooked thinking. You don't know me
personally.

[arr] Any classical music based songs by ARR coming up?

2010-09-02 Thread Aakarsh

Amidst all the mixed responses to Puli, Endhiran  CWG song, it just occurred 
to me this morning, when my wife was humming Narumugaye song from Iruvar, 
that it has been very very long time since ARR composed a pure classical song. 
Yes we have been treated with hiphop (doche) or ballads (Jaa re Ud jaa or Behne 
De) or electronic stuff (Endhiran) etc, but it has been real long time since we 
had a pure classical song. Can anyone recall which was the classical 
composition from ARR. I cant exactly count Bhor Bhayee, since it was a 
recording by Late Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. I think the last classical music 
based song (cant call it fully pure classical) that sound very Hindustani in 
tone was Man Mohana from Jodha Akbar. And thats in 2008. The song from 
Yuvvraaj (Manmohini) is a very short bit-piece like song that is more of 
fusion, in its treatment, rather than classical. And Nammakameeyyaraa from Puli 
is a slow devotional number. 
I hope ARR does some classical songs. Something like Sangamam songs, Water 
songs. Been long time.

Aakarsh

Actually hindi is NOT the national language of India it's the princial official

this is from Wikipedia:

The principal official language of the Republic of India is Standard Hindi, 
while English is the secondary official language.[2] The constitution of India 
states that The official language of the Union shall be Hindi in Devanagari 
script.[3] Neither the Constitution of India nor Indian law specifies a

 I truly agree with this. I don't think people were expecting a Waka Waka or

 ideas would have been expressed to him during composition process itself and
 not now, when the track has been released. The problem is that everything

 CWG, it's about hosting a better CWG than Beijing's Olympics! Why
 Beijing's Olympics? Because it was a huge hit! If China can do it, then we
 can do better!

 When ARR was requested to compose the CWG theme, there wasn't any talks
 about comparison with any other themes whatsoever. But now that Waka Waka is
 a huge hit, all of a sudden, we want ARR to compose something better than
 Waka Waka. If Shakira can do it, why not ARR? Yes, Shakira could do it,
 because she didn't have the pressure of being constantly compared to every
 Tom, Dick and Harry. No ministers approved of her song and then turn
 around saying that they were disappointed with the same. People just enjoyed
 the song for what it is and it became a huge hit!

 In my humble opinion, we have just forgotten where our priorities lie.
 Hosting a CWG is not only a huge responsibility but it's also a great
 privilege. There is no need to compare ourselves with our counterparts and
 go around bragging that we'll do better than them. Instead, if  we just
 concentrate on hosting a good games in the manner we know best, I'm pretty
 sure people will start to appreciate them as well.

for me, this whole CWG song thing shows the true colors of Indian politics
and media.

they don't mind making a big issue out of a trivial thing like the theme
music.. but they can't even organize the event properly.

it's as if they all were of waiting for an opportunity to bash rahman while
both the opposition and the government has shown that they are nothing but
idiots.

I want to say a lot of things about all these things we read in the media..
but that will probably have 10 times more profanities than the Scarface
movie. lol

so, i am just accepting the fact that India only works this way.  our
government, media and politicians like to blame each other like they always
do in the parliament. we are third world and with these kind of people in
media and politics, we will stay that way forever.

while I loved the CWG song.. i too think that the 5.5 cr was a bit too much
to spend for a song and performance.  they should probably have focused more
on how to manage the event and bad press.   i didn't mean that AR didn't
deserve it.  but, it's a lot of money for a country like India and common
men will think that it was a rip off.

we fans here don't think of it as a big issue as we love him. but it is
still an issue.

Plus, for an event like these people will except more glamor and obviously
that is also the reason why people were put off by the song. that is the

Aakarsh,

I am sure Rahman will compose a classical song again, when he composes music 
for a film like Sangamam or Water. The stories of all of the other films 
you mentioned has no scope for classical songs like Narumugayae. And I know 
that you were just wishing and not complaining.

 Amidst all the mixed responses to Puli, Endhiran  CWG song, it just occurred 
 to me this morning, when my wife was humming Narumugaye song from Iruvar, 
 that it has been very very long time since ARR composed a pure classical 
 song. Yes we have been treated with hiphop (doche) or ballads (Jaa re Ud jaa 
 or Behne De) or electronic stuff (Endhiran) etc, but it has been real long 
 time since we had a pure classical song. Can anyone recall which was the 
 classical composition from ARR. I cant exactly count Bhor Bhayee, since it 
 was a recording by Late Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. I think the last 
 classical music based song (cant call it fully pure classical) that sound 
 very Hindustani in tone was Man Mohana from Jodha Akbar. And thats in 2008. 
 The song from Yuvvraaj (Manmohini) is a very short bit-piece like song that 
 is more of fusion, in its treatment, rather than classical. And 
 Nammakameeyyaraa from Puli is a slow devotional number. 
 I hope ARR does some classical songs. Something like Sangamam songs, Water 
 songs. Been long time.

I tend to disagree with this point. Lack of appreciation is not a reason to 
leave one's field. What happens if Hollywood failed to appreciate his work 
tomorrow? Do you want him to leave Hollywood as well? 

Personally, I don't want ARR to leave Bollywood or Kollywood (or whatever other 
woods we have in the film industry). Working against the tide has always been 
his style I believe, and he will succeed in this again, regardless of 
government projects or not.

We can't be expecting every songs of ARR to be appreciated and his past 
accomplishments to be remembered. Then again, this is also not the first time 
ARR has been criticized by the media and public alike. There's just so much of 
negativity going on right now that people are failing to see the beauty in the 
CWG theme. I'm pretty sure that it's only a matter of time before people will 
start praising the same.

Why CWG song is targeted by...

Opposition - The name itself says Opposition, what more can one expect from 
them. Even if CWG becomes a success, they will oppose it saying that the 
country didn't need these games and only tax payers money was wasted on this.

Media - Not every day they get a chance to publish a news against Rahman. Just 
to show that they are not partial to Rahman in everything he does, they are 
publishing these kind of articles. So they are using this opportunity to 
criticize his work by asking opinions about this song from every tom, dick and 
harry..

Government - Some of them from Govt are using media to convey their 
displeasures about this song. Why? To divert the attention from other important 
things(incomplete venues etc etc) and make ARR and the song the scapegoat. 
After all, they are the easy targets you see.

So called Senior Music Composers - Firstly, they can't digest the fact that why 
only Rahman was asked to compose a theme song and why they were not...and the 
most hurting factor for them is the price tag that is floating around for that 
song..

Fans - Nothing new with these poor fellows...Some of them have genuine reasons 
for their dislike and others are still in 90's mode. They still refuse to 
believe that Rahman is a human being. They want Roja's and Thiruda Thiruda's 
all the time..and when Rahman gives them the album  with 90's touch, they say 
that the song is outdated and Rahman has lost his touch...

Just my opinion...not to hurt any one...

Actually, going beyond doesn't necessarily mean to surpass something. It can 
also mean to be different or away from something. In that light, probably ARR 
would have meant that CWG theme would be something different than Waka Waka 
rather than what was interpreted by the media.

As per his music taste its mediocre. Would you be coming up with 'Who

music redefining?

Whose music taste are you talking about? ARR's? Kishore's?

Giving an opinion is definitely acceptable. But making it to sound like
a fact is not acceptable. I wouldn't mind if someone feels that Jai Ho's
music is path breaking...maybe it is for them. But if he says it as a
fact, then yes, I would have a problem with it.

Likewise, I wouldn't mind if Kishore (or anyone for that matter) thinks
that Ghajini is a mediocre or below average album.  But when you
undermine another person's interest/taste for liking the same, esp when
you quote something like there are people to praise any mediocre or
below average work from him (Eg: Ghajini),  then yes, you can bet that
I'll have a problem with that!

Btw, I don't like Ghajini but that doesn't make it a bad album. I hope

true music lovers out there think this is true. Yes, Rahman has an image
and a brand name, but people can discern quality too and are not that
dumb to just go by someone's name when it comes to appreciating good

  This is scientifically proven in psychology that when a complex,
unfamiliar, and unknown stimulus is encountered, the mind has to

complex, unfamiliar, and unknown due to the high originality and
innovativeness factors.
 
 
  Brand Rahman exists, yes, but Quality Rahman is still there and
still strong according to most. How do I know? A in my family , who have
been skeptical of Rahman's music in the past, are head over heels with
Raavan's music. They are not the type to just like something just
because it has Rahman attached to it. They are critical music lovers who
are skeptical of today's music. If they like a Rahman album or song and
which validates my opinion (my opinion is not dependent on anyone's by
the way), I know Rahman has scored big time.

2010-09-02 Thread Anil Kumar

Rubbish, I dont think its worth talking about it, We all deep inside know that 
the song is excellent, why would you want to compare 2 songs falling way apart 
in genres, please ask shakira to compose a shehidiye (Alaipayuthe), she 
cannot...I will stop listening to ARR is anyone else does,
 
AR Rahman is at a different level, 
 
I still dont understand what people along with all you fans are expecting, his 
songs are as good as ever, Listen to them more and more, i bet you you would 
like them, I am sure we are not in a position to what to expect from him, which 
is leading to all this confusion, dont just blindly compare, while listening to 
a song - listen to that song only and thats it, why would you want to rate or 
compare. If the media is going ga ga, let them, why would you want to add you 
blah blah to it.
 
I like all his compilations, i dont need anyone to tell me whats good or whats 
not, please decide for yourself if you want to continue doing it or not.

Re: [arr] CWG track..heres my take

2010-09-02 Thread diya

I too very strongly feel it's not upto his sky high standards. When it's AR 
Rahman,there is just no way to avoid unrealistic expectations. His repertoire 
has been consistently unrealistic to say the least! I don't think people 
expected a song similar to waka waka, but equally catchy and engaging (actually 
much more). It's a legitimate and natural expectation to have.

I feel his creative freedom was constrained in case of this song by a long list 
of demands and specs for the song. They should have simply let him compose 
it his way and not try to put their own minds to it. He's not a machine! Nor is 
a song built to a list of specs!

All said and done, it really is ok to fail to meet expectations once in the 
blue moon. It does not take away anything from his greatness. I see no need to 
make an issue about it.

To Rahman I have only one request to make. Please refuse to be a part of any 
project that puts a barrier on creativity or demands a compromise in any form! 
You really don't need to be associated with any such project no matter how big 
or important they are!

Cheers!

 I truly agree with this. I don't think people were expecting a Waka Waka or a 
 Maa Tujhe Saalam or even a Maro Maro from ARR. If yes, then all these ideas 
 would have been expressed to him during composition process itself and not 
 now, when the track has been released. The problem is that everything has 
 become very political and competitive now. It's no longer about hosting CWG, 
 it's about hosting a better CWG than Beijing's Olympics! Why Beijing's 
 Olympics? Because it was a huge hit! If China can do it, then we can do 
 better! 
 
 When ARR was requested to compose the CWG theme, there wasn't any talks about 
 comparison with any other themes whatsoever. But now that Waka Waka is a huge 
 hit, all of a sudden, we want ARR to compose something better than Waka Waka. 
 If Shakira can do it, why not ARR? Yes, Shakira could do it, because she 
 didn't have the pressure of being constantly compared to every Tom, Dick and 
 Harry. No ministers approved of her song and then turn around saying that 
 they were disappointed with the same. People just enjoyed the song for what 
 it is and it became a huge hit! 
 
 In my humble opinion, we have just forgotten where our priorities lie. 
 Hosting a CWG is not only a huge responsibility but it's also a great 
 privilege. There is no need to compare ourselves with our counterparts and go 
 around bragging that we'll do better than them. Instead, ifÂ  we just 
 concentrate on hosting a good games in the manner we know best, I'm pretty 
 sure people will start to appreciate them as well.

   Few years back, i was in a gathering where people were sayin AR Rahman 
 is spoiling the present music scene with 'computer music' and all his songs 
 sound same with 'western beats' and no proper pronunciation.Â 
 I ignored it and later played this track called Poo Kodiyin Punnagai from 
 Iruvar. They all said look at those days music..what melody and each 
 word is so clear and soft to ears...these days rahman and other can't even 
 imaging to compose music like this!
 to this i replied ... This track is by AR Rahman ..from Iruvar.. .. they 
 were just dump struck and chewed their own words..
 ( for those of you unaware, this track sounds very retro like those in Black

 So the point is, if we approach things with pre-conceivedÂ notion, nothing 
 can change the mindset.
 Commonwealth games has a not lotÂ negativeÂ air now. What with scams, 
 incomplete works and New Delhi dug up...people are not happy. One theme song 
 can't improve things and it will succumb to pressures. Even if Rahman would

The industry is abuzz with the recent news that the *Commonwealth
Games*http://connect.in.com/commonwealth-games/profile-543083.html
** officials now want A R Rahman's Rs 5 crore theme track *Swagatham* to be
'recomposed'. Fellow musicians talk to IBNLive about their reactions to the
rumours...

Singer Shaan feels that Rahman as a composer has his own beliefs about his
compositions. Shaan says, “Rahman generally takes a brief and takes it ahead
from there. What I would like to say is that the CWG officials should work
on their own shortcomings and pull their act together.” He adds, “We are so
scared of getting humiliated in front of the whole world with the CWG. Don’t
waste time finding faults in Rahman.”

Kavita
*Krishnamurthy*http://connect.in.com/krishnamurthy/profile-1900597.html
** has been busy traveling and admits she hasn’t had the time to hear
Rahman’s composition. However, she points out, “For any composer, for
example if my husband has been commissioned to compose a song...from the
beginning to the end, the organizers are always involved. While the entire
song is taking shape, they (organizers) are involved. If there are certain
changes to be made, the composer should have been alerted from step one.”
She adds emphatically, “It is bad for the reputation of any musician. It is
very hurting.”

[image: A R Rahman at an event]

Music director *Anu Malik*http://connect.in.com/anu-malik/profile-24443.html
** has not heard *Swagatham* either. He, however, explains, “I have not
heard the song but the broader thing is…Rahman is a gifted composer. It all
depends on what brief had been given to him. For the kind of money that has
been paid (reportedly 5 crore), it is a huge amount. I am sure if Rahman has
composed the theme track, it must be very good. But if something takes about
four, five or six months, was the brief given in the first place OK? The net
reaction to the track has not been that good. At the end of the day, Indians
are very emotional towards their music.”

Music director Bappi Lahiri admits he has not heard the song. He says, “I
have not heard the song yet and therefore would not like to comment on the
matter.”

 Many have forgotten what ARR has achieved in the past. He has been the

 the typecast songs of other composers and say, `wow, what a composition, ARR
 has lost his touch way back, why doesn't he compose songs just like as he
 did in 90's?' Some envious people have been awaiting an opportunity to
 slander him, and now they have got their move and keep hurting him. Being
 fans, we can't bear it at all. In this situation, what I think is that ARR
 should come up with a mass appeal new anthem before the CWG starts and the
 song should be applauded and liked by whole lotta people on the first
 hearing – that will make the critics dumbstruck. I really badly need ARR to
 compose a new song before CWG strikes up. Will it happen?

 Amidst all the mixed responses to Puli, Endhiran  CWG song, it just

 re Ud jaa or Behne De) or electronic stuff (Endhiran) etc, but it has been
 real long time since we had a pure classical song. Can anyone recall which
 was the classical composition from ARR. I cant exactly count Bhor Bhayee,
 since it was a recording by Late Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. I think the
 last classical music based song (cant call it fully pure classical) that
 sound very Hindustani in tone was Man Mohana from Jodha Akbar. And thats
 in 2008. The song from Yuvvraaj (Manmohini) is a very short bit-piece like
 song that is more of fusion, in its treatment, rather than classical. And
 Nammakameeyyaraa from Puli is a slow devotional number.

 I hope ARR does some classical songs. Something like Sangamam songs, Water

Common wealth games is a non profit trust registered under Indian trust act. 
and they should by law publish the expenses they incurred. If that#39;s the 
case we would know about the fees charged for the theme song sooner or later. 

I don#39;t think it#39;s that exorbitant. anyways. I checked there is no

ideally they should publish the fees paid to rahmans#39;s office as he is

Message to A.R.Rahman Sir:

YES ! A.R.RAHMAN SIR, you know very well that WE ARE ALL WITH YOU, WE ARE YOUR 
TRULY FANS. With or without big hits, with or without awards, we are with you 
and have been following you since ROJA. I personnaly felt in Love with you and 
your personality for many reasons; for your music, for the person you are and 
for your ideology especially for your views for India and its people. 

Nobody in the cinema industry is more Indian than you and when people criticize 
you, you should not feel bad or react badly (I know it is not your way of 
behaviour, afterall we are all humans). All these critics are comparable to 
EVIL temptation to break all the Good you have achieve, by ignoring these 
critics and concentrating only on your music and taking into account that so 
many people love you will make you surpass this chaotic situation and then you 
will be compared to a Saint (which you are actually to my mind). 

Not only India, the world has always loved to bring down the stars, to put them 
on the floor and walk on them. Each individual in this world sometimes wants 
destruction of something which is successful. People does not like that the 
Numero 1 is always Numero 1. They will find unreliable reasons to bash the 
Numero 1. This is Jalousy and it is universal.

A.R.Rahman Sir, I know that you are actually not that affected by all this, you 
have seen worst things happening in your life, and these critics are just 
ridiculous (comparing you to Himesh or any other, what crazy people !! Actually 
Himesh should thank you for this).

Fans from all over the world support you !!!

 

Message to ARR Fans:

I am from Paris (France), I suggest that all the fans in the world do something 
to support ARR. Fans in India can group and protests peacefully and calmly on 
the street to support ARR Sir, or they can vote for ARR for the CWG theme,  I 
have many ideas. I think the best way is to open an internet site to support 
ARR and the theme which will allow vote by fans from all over the world. If the 
officials don't like ARR theme, do they have another one to compare it to ? Let 
the people select the theme, that will be more reasonable.

 

Why everybody is silent, common guys do something, you can not count on 
politicians and media, they are generally the same worldwide acting only by 
personal interest, India is THE biggest democracy in the world, people should 
do something

How do we know that the 5.5 cr figure is even true? It was reported once in the 
same 'I concoct things as I go' Indian media and everyone is treating it like 
the gospel truth?

Subject: Re: [arr] CWG track..heres my take

  

for me, this whole CWG song thing shows the true colors of Indian politics and 
media.

they don't mind making a big issue out of a trivial thing like the theme 
music.. but they can't even organize the event properly.

it's as if they all were of waiting for an opportunity to bash rahman while 
both the opposition and the government has shown that they are nothing but 
idiots. 

I want to say a lot of things about all these things we read in the media.. but 
that will probably have 10 times more profanities than the Scarface movie. lol

so, i am just accepting the fact that India only works this way.  our 
government, media and politicians like to blame each other like they always do 
in the parliament. we are third world and with these kind of people in media 
and politics, we will stay that way forever. 

while I loved the CWG song.. i too think that the 5.5 cr was a bit too much to 
spend for a song and performance.  they should probably have focused more on 
how to manage the event and bad press.   i didn't mean that AR didn't deserve 
it.  but, it's a lot of money for a country like India and common men will 
think that it was a rip off.  

we fans here don't think of it as a big issue as we love him. but it is still 
an issue. 

Plus, for an event like these people will except more glamor and obviously that 
is also the reason why people were put off by the song. that is the reason why 
everyone is now comparing it to Waka Waka. 

I have a lot more to say about this whole stinking politics. but this is not 
the forum for that. so,  this here is my last post about CWG song.   and hoping 
that this won't affect AR's reputation and respect that he truly deserves.

I truly agree with this. I don't think people were expecting a Waka Waka or a 
Maa Tujhe Saalam or even a Maro Maro from ARR. If yes, then all these ideas 
would have been expressed to him during composition process itself and not now, 
when the track has been released. The problem is that everything has become 
very political and competitive now. It's no longer about hosting CWG, it's 
about hosting a better CWG than Beijing's Olympics! Why Beijing's Olympics? 
Because it was a huge hit! If China can do it, then we can do better! 

When ARR was requested to compose the CWG theme, there wasn't any talks about 
comparison with any other themes whatsoever. But now that Waka Waka is a huge 
hit, all of a sudden, we want ARR to compose something better than Waka Waka. 
If Shakira can do it, why not ARR? Yes, Shakira could do it, because she didn't 
have the pressure of being constantly compared to every Tom, Dick and Harry. No 
ministers approved of her song and then turn around saying that they were 
disappointed with the same. People just enjoyed the song for what it is and it 
became a huge hit! 

In my humble opinion, we have just forgotten where our priorities lie. Hosting 
a CWG is not only a huge responsibility but it's also a great privilege. There 
is no need to compare ourselves with our counterparts and go around bragging 
that we'll do better than them. Instead, if  we just concentrate on hosting a 
good games in the manner we know best, I'm pretty sure people will start to 
appreciate them as well.

  Rajib,
 
  I appreciate your request for experiences and rare stuff.  That should
  certainly be more a part of our group's discussions.
 
  However, this is a FAN group.  As fans, we praise and appreciate ARR.  A
  lot of us are emotional about ARR and his music and hence express our
  emotions here too positively in praise of him.  I don't see anything wrong
  in that.  If you don't appreciate that part of our group, that's fine, but
  please don't expect others to suddenly rake in praises for ARR when a lot of
  us do feel emotional about him and his music.  It only comes naturally to a
  lot of us.
 
  Now, I don't approve of being a fanboy and throwing praises to each and
  every ARR song or release.  I also appreciate constructive criticism and I
  have been critical of ARR's music in the past.
 
  I agree with the overall theme of your post that either extreme is not
  goodtoo much praise and too much negativity.
 
  Some here have alluded and insinuated that I only write about ARR in a
  positive way or write large reviews just to attract attention from ARR and
  create hype.  That is utterly and completely false.  Those who know me
  personally know that I am sincere about my write ups about ARR and his music
  and that I just don't hype things up just to attract praise or ARR's
  attention. For me, it's a form of self expression, almost like another
  artthe art of appreciating ARR and his music. I repeat, I do NOT
  consider myself a fanboy and I do NOT create writeups just for hype and
  praise.  I have much better things to do in my life like being a father to
  my 2 small chlidren, working a professional job, being a good husband and
  son, and being a good citizen in general.  I'm a lot more secure about
  myself than some of you think I am.
 
  So, those of you in this group who like to throw barbs at me every now and
  then, please stop as your accusations and insinuations have no bearing or
  ground whatsoever except your crooked thinking.  You don't know me
  personally.

 refused to compose the song earlier, all these politicians/ media and other

 with you and your personality for many reasons; for your music, for the
 person you are and for your ideology especially for your views for India and
 its people.
 Nobody in the cinema industry is more Indian than you and when people
 criticize you, you should not feel bad or react badly (I know it is not
 your way of behaviour, afterall we are all humans). All these critics are
 comparable to EVIL temptation to break all the Good you have achieve, by
 ignoring these critics and concentrating only on your music and taking into
 account that so many people love you will make you surpass this chaotic
 situation and then you will be compared to a Saint (which you are actually
 to my mind).
 Not only India, the world has always loved to bring down the stars, to put
 them on the floor and walk on them. Each individual in this world sometimes
 wants destruction of something which is successful. People does not like
 that the Numero 1 is always Numero 1. They will find unreliable reasons to
 bash the Numero 1. This is Jalousy and it is universal.
 A.R.Rahman Sir, I know that you are actually not that affected by all this,
 you have seen worst things happening in your life, and these critics are
 just ridiculous (comparing you to Himesh or any other, what crazy people
 !! Actually Himesh should thank you for this).
 Fans from all over the world support you !!!

 *Message to ARR Fans:*
 I am from Paris (France), I suggest that all the fans in the world do
 something to support ARR. Fans in India can group and protests peacefully
 and calmly on the street to support ARR Sir, or they can vote for ARR for
 the CWG theme,  I have many ideas. I think the best way is to open an
 internet site to support ARR and the theme which will allow vote by fans
 from all over the world. If the officials don't like ARR theme, do they have
 another one to compare it to ? Let the people select the theme, that will be
 more reasonable.

 Why everybody is silent, common guys do something, you can not count on
 politicians and media, they are generally the same worldwide acting only by
 personal interest, India is THE biggest democracy in the world, people

The industry is abuzz with the recent news that the *Commonwealth
Games*http://connect.in.com/commonwealth-games/profile-543083.html
** officials now want A R Rahman's Rs 5 crore theme track *Swagatham* to
be 'recomposed'. Fellow musicians talk to IBNLive about their reactions to
the rumours...

Music director *Anu
Malik*http://connect.in.com/anu-malik/profile-24443.html
** has not heard *Swagatham* either. He, however, explains, “I have not
heard the song but the broader thing is…Rahman is a gifted composer. It all
depends on what brief had been given to him. For the kind of money that has
been paid (reportedly 5 crore), it is a huge amount. I am sure if Rahman has
composed the theme track, it must be very good. But if something takes about
four, five or six months, was the brief given in the first place OK? The net
reaction to the track has not been that good. At the end of the day, Indians
are very emotional towards their music.”

Music director Bappi Lahiri admits he has not heard the song. He says, “I
have not heard the song yet and therefore would not like to comment on the
matter.”

Message to A.R.Rahman Sir:
YES ! A.R.RAHMAN SIR, you know very well that WE ARE ALL WITH YOU, WE ARE YOUR 
TRULY FANS. With or without big hits, with or without awards, we are with you 
and have been following you since ROJA. I personnaly felt in Love with you and 
your personality for many reasons; for your music, for the person you are and 
for your ideology especially for your views for India and its people. 

Nobody in the cinema industry is more Indian than you and when people 
criticize you, you should not feel bad or react badly (I know it is not your 
way 
of behaviour, afterall we are all humans). All these critics are comparable to 
EVIL temptation to break all the Good you have achieve, by ignoring these 
critics and concentrating only on your music and taking into account that so 
many people love you will make you surpass this chaotic situation and then you 
will be compared to a Saint (which you are actually to my mind). 

Not only India, the world has always loved to bring down the stars, to put 
them 
on the floor and walk on them. Each individual in this world sometimes 
wants destruction of something which is successful. People does not like that 
the Numero 1 is always Numero 1. They will find unreliable reasons to bash the 
Numero 1. This is Jalousy and it is universal.
A.R.Rahman Sir, I know that you are actually not that affected by all this, 
you 
have seen worst things happening in your life, and these critics are just 
ridiculous (comparing you to Himesh or any other, what crazy people !! 
Actually 
Himesh should thank you for this).
Fans from all over the world support you !!!
 
Message to ARR Fans:
I am from Paris (France), I suggest that all the fans in the world do 
something 
to support ARR. Fans in India can group and protests peacefully and calmly on 
the street to support ARR Sir, or they can vote for ARR for the CWG theme,  I 
have many ideas. I think the best way is to open an internet site to support 
ARR 
and the theme which will allow vote by fans from all over the world. If the 
officials don't like ARR theme, do they have another one to compare it to ? 
Let 
the people select the theme, that will be more reasonable.
 
Why everybody is silent, common guys do something, you can not count on 
politicians and media, they are generally the same worldwide acting only by 
personal interest, India is THE biggest democracy in the world, people should 
do 
something

   Play the CWG track all the freakin time, promote it, play it in your
 car, house, office, if you are a DJ..play it loud in your club. Just play it
 all the freakin time in front of other people...let them all get a chance to
 grow into the track.

 Time for Fans to do the job. Remember, this rarely happens with AR.Infact
 never.
