Maybe they should have had Suttum Vizhi song for HJ...This song and Mayiliragae are my favorites this year...Both very romantic and mesmerizing !!
And BTW, HJ and YSR can't be compared either....HJ is a class higher, though not equal to the genius ARR !!

ARR will rock in SIVAJI !!
HJ is running out of ideas. Repeated tunes and repeated music tells the true.
YSR is the real musician after IR, ARR. YSR is currently no. 1 amoung youngsters :thumbsup:
:D
Sanjeevi, I know you're a big fan of IR....Looks like you're a big fan of YSR too....But just look at this year alone, if not the past ... HJ had two blockbusters in ANNIYAN and GHAJINI....And both the songs and the BGM were rocking...And THOTTI JAYA, even though was not that big a hit, the songs were still hit....Quote:

Maybe this is just my opinion...But HJ rocks !!!

I wish YSR does not go after big banners/directors. His real strength so far is, working with new young directors who come up with different themes/ideas. I want him to stay that way.
Regarding Shankar: Shankar has been running out of ideas and I don't think he will be as dominant as he was before in the coming months. So even if Shankar approaches ysr (that is 0.00001% possibility) to do a movie, he should opt out.
the truth fact here is... YSR makes a song hit WITHOUT big banners,actors with him.CHeck out Arindhum Ariyamalum,who is there for the movie to be a hit man? but YSR made the film a hit with his music,it shows his music power is really good here. where else in the other hand HJ,he alwiz gets a big banner,actors,dirs to make his songs popular. remember anniyan audio was a flop b4 the movie released and he needed the movie to popularised his songs.Ghajini goes that way too,the movie made the songs a hit.b4 that only AH Aah songs were ruling.ARR case is another,his songs when released it would be the biggest hit at that time,and when the film releases,it goes down. :roll:
and let me tell u 1 thing,shankar has LOST IT with anniyan coz he didint show his true skills ther & just repeated his previous films just to make sure he has a HIT. Mabby in Shivaji he will show his skill again coz he is relaxed he has a hit now. :wink:
What are you talking Dinesh? Kumari Sukumari is one of the best in recent times, acknowledged by almost all that I have talked with. The audience was as varied as Keralites, Sri Lankans, Tamilians, and even Maharashtrian. The moment that song is played everyone enjoys it thoroughly. The other songs were superb too. Anniyan is an unqualified success for Harris. No doubt about that.
Music4ever,Anniyan's audio sales didnt pick up until after the movie release and the songs were played repeatedly. Even HJ acknowledged and hoped that even though the responnse was lukewarm he expected the audio to pickup after the film release. Even on the web the popular opinion was that it was an underwhelming effort from HJ, nowhere near what ARR had given for Shankar before. Anyways I am not one to judge an album solely by its commercial success, but this is to just answer your point about the great response you are talking about. Personally, it was just an above average effort from HJ I thought. Anniyan's songs too reminded of several of HJ's and ARR's earlier numbers.
Vijayr, from a critic's point of view presumably, Anniyan songs may not be all that great. However, several day-to-day common folks seem to be enraptured by many of Anniyan's songs and these include non-tamil chaps, those who did not have access to the TV etc. There is something in songs such as Randakka randakka, and Kumari Sukumari which people are able to enjoy in the first hearing itself. I am not conjuring this up, just saying what I have observed even as recently as yesterday, when a guy who listened to the Kumari number the first time said that it is lovely. Maybe Shankar Mahadevan's voice but I think it is the whole package -- tune, orchestration, singing, not to forget the sound quality. Let me put it this way: I played both Kumari and Varaha nadhi karai oram one after the other. It is HJ's that people found more appealing. Indeed, I love varaha nadhi karai oram very much and expected that others would feel the same way. But the opinion was the other way. It might be because Kumari is a new and topical song while the other one is an old number.
may i know is those 'people' u let them hear varaga nadhi & kumari ? Hj fans? :lol: kumari is a new age kinda song whereelse Varaga nadhi is an old folk tamil song. in my case its different... during a show in our skool,they played anniyan songs...as u know the indians there played & all the non-indians started making noise... [which means they r insulting us tamil for our tamil soungs]...and then they took it out & played Boys...no 1 complained.... i was really shock tought they would also complain after knowing its a tamil song,but they just shook thier head & enjoyed it without making noises....
an album released 2 years ago sounds much much better than just an album released few months back.... this clearly shows what shankar missed in aniyan,let us take it this way,let Shivaji songs released,and u will know what is missing in anniyan,until then,enjoy anniyan ya... :)
actually kumari song is not bad....but i never thought it was that great as what u think...it fades off easily when u compare to its original version En Uyir Tozhiye - KKS
