IR New Albums - Old responses (5 Aug 2006)

This is happening only after the Thirvasagam release function. ARR acknowledged him by attending the function and supported him when there was a controversy. Now to me it looks like IR is reciprocating. Two times in last two months. Thanks.

Venus,

ARR has always been respectful to veteran music directors. From the beginning, he has always said that IR showed him that a musician can be a genius without succumbing to bad habits. He always referred to IR as a genius. Even at the function of Aasai film audio release (11 years back), he jocularly said that he is always saying what he likes of other composers songs but papers edit that:-)

ARR, in a function with all veteran music directors a few years back, even presented IR with a gold ring. But IR put it back on ARR's finger because he doesn't wear gold.

ARR's acknowledgement is nothing new. Any musician would say, ARR as a person is a gem.

Aruvi,

ARR did not mention IR's name in any interview in his begining years..When he went to peak in his first two years, he told nobody that he was once a keyboardist to IR..Later only, he started to reveal all this only in later years..

Let ARR be a gem personally..Who cares ?
Nobody of us need to know him personally..infact how many of IR or ARR's fans have really seen them in their lives ??

Exactly, even he told "I am not hearing much IR songs" "I am the fan of MSV" "TR songs slightly inspired me", etc

IndiaGlitz woke up a bit late on "Chor Police" song:

i dunno wat u r saying, we knew rite from august15,1992 that ARR was from IR"S troupe.......i dunno how someone cud have come to know without ARR accepting it....

we care abt ARR's personal life........cos he is one person whom people can look upto as an inspiration and as a icon.........and he is acknowledged as an icon all over India(except TN).......ARR as a person is a major plus to his music......

sanjeevi, never he has said that "i dont listen to IR's songs".......

'aahistha chal' from Shiva is played time and again in MTV :) i think they should release the album by now :( Iam going mad to listen to this one song in full which promises to be having amazing choral works !

First,
Everyone knew from the start about ARR's background. I have read his earlier interviews though I only started listening to Tamil music after 1994. Him liking MSV is no surprise, since he has said that P.Susheela is his favourite singer.

TR made some good songs, in his glory days. As far as I have read and seen, ARR has always acknowledged IR. It's not something that happenned out of the blue. That's what I wanted to point out.

Himesh interview in Kumudam. Looks like he wants to work with IR
