Rajasaranam,
What is more interesting is the timing of these awards.
Nan Kadavul is breaking BO records and people who have watched IR's back ground score would have certainly wondered about the oscar give for original score :)

In that interview ARR mentioned Rajini, kamal and MR only from Tamilnadu and the reporter raised the next question as ' did IR congratulated u?'. Why should this media persons ask this kinda controversial questions. The reporter could have asked about so many other people from TN, why IR? What i am trying to say here is , either the reporter should have assuemd that IR wouldnt have wished ARR or might have tried to get some controversial answer from ARR, to his credit ARR never did that .Quote:

Mostly this media is responsible for creating a virtual rivalry between IR and ARR which never exists in real world and most junk of that credit should go to 'kumudam'
If any tom/dick or harry can get an oscar u can try too!Quote:

You can see it yourself
Pure bliss - dont know if you understand Tamil or not - there is a saying "mottai mandaikkum muzhangaalukkum mudicchu poduvadhu" meaning "trying to tie a knot between a bald head and an unrelated bald knee" - your retort reminds me exactly of thatQuote:

sigh
I can see that you are a *ick. So I would love to see you bring the Oscar's next year.
Sorry for the dig guys

The vehemence with which he hates the Oscar Award winner is stunning, simply. Hopefully, Yuvan, who is a very good MD, will come up with something great, otherwise MrJudge will be spending sleepless days.
Having said all of this, I must admit that the presence of Danny Boyle did indeed bring home the bacon for ARR. He has produced many memorable songs before this.
From an ARR fan.

Second statement is also equally ambiguous.
Yes i have been telling people to buy original CD's rather than downloading it. this is the least we can do for a man who gave so much through his music.
Me too trying to get hold of MX and Heyram albeit with no success. Its really frustrating that his fabulous works are unavilable let me add GURU also in this list. People say lot of things about releasing his BGM score while working with him but forget once the movie is released. If kamal, Bala likes do this to raaja than wat else we can expect?
You are being unneccesarily harsh on Raja for the symphony. John Scot said that he listened to it later defended raja for not relasing it also. he said raja was concerned with the critics reaction to it. Afterall its his work, unlike TIS he is not answerable to anyone.
Its better we concentrate on spreading his music and not thinking in terms of winning awards. He can be a lifetime companion to someone who takes a liking to his music.
as a fan, its my peeve that IR does nothing to do even the most fundamental things that anyone in this field does - by 2005, IR was in the industry/field for more than 30 years!! with such a vast experience, he should not have even allowed the TiS thing become messy - Fr.Gasper gave an interview in Nakkeeran or some magazine, totally insulting IR - not that it matters, but given that the entire TiS was mishandled so shabbily, my question is why does IR get into such predicaments and let someone like Fr.Gasper humiliate him in the press ?? IR seems to be so uncaring about himself - in the perception of todays world, he seems to be a lost cause - albums for unfinished films, albums for duds, and what notQuote:

I dont know if you recall the amount of fanfare that accompanied his symphony announcement in 1993 - it was a musical event, an equivalent of an Indian landing on the moon for the first time! the expectations were skyhigh, ONLY to be squashed by its non-release! 16 years and still IR has not come out with a single statement as to why it has not been released - WHY ? if he was willing to take in all the adulation and pugazhaaram at the time of its recording, he should be equally willing to come forth with a reason(s) as to why he chose not to release it - I think he owes us thatQuote:

Its purely upto Sony and not upto IR to release symphony. IR probably can give up his right and that will make Sony happy and Sony can release.
Reg. TIS, yes, IR screwed up completely. He unnecessarily got involved in the transaction. If he had kept aside, it would have been released by Saregama. Saregama definitely would not have taken the music to Grammy or anywhere, but would hvae made it available more easily since they have huge distribution list.
