I felt like shaking up KB and saying this aint Kodak theatre sir. wake up. He could have easily added more value to the speech given his fantastic collaboration with Kanadasan, MSV, V Kumar, Raja and Rahman. Instead he gave a Jeppiar kinda speech stupefying - totally stupefying.
Unsure of how to link to a specific post so I've quoted it below.Quote:

This was far more noble than 'Humble' saravanan trying to pitch for Aaroor das and Valee . The way he put it across might seem to some 'why is he discussing the past in this function'. However I felt that it aptly underlined the 'kaniyaaga kanindha mottu' motif of his speech. It is a very subtle way to place Rahman among the greats without giving up his ego (which he rightly preserves) ever so little. The clever use of 'chi ennayya pannittu irukOm' underlines his 'humility' as well - but his detractors will still find out enough to say why he did not place himself along with the likes of Deva, so that he can climb up some more steps on their 'humility' index.
To all those - one sentence..

:) ARR music-la avar oru pAttu pAdaNum. I've always wondered how it would work and I would love to be a fly on the wall if it happened.Quote:

This function reminded me of that.I am all the more glad that Ilaiyaraaja spoke very well (i could sense it, despite me not understanding a word of Tamil). I only did not understand what he said specifically about Roshan and Madan Mohan. But i could understand that he looked up to them very highly. IR also quoted Hans Zimmer etc.
I know it would be expecting too much, but it would be interesting to see a collaboration between IR and ARR (something like MSV and IR did). I know they are different people to collaborate, but then, they have some commonalities such as emphasis on quality, polished sound,perfection etc. and many a time, creativity takes birth out of different thoughts. infact, ARR once said that he would like to work with IR, like the way IR did with MSV in Mella thirantha kathavu. I read somewhere sometime.
i think it will happen.my wish is ir should compose the tune and arr should orchestrate it for a movie.let s see
Then
"TIS collection will help to open University for Musical Research"
Now
"Balamurali Krishna Keerthanas will be shared and highlighed for future generations"
IR eloquence comparable to MuKa with no substance behind the talk
@raagas:
Roshan and Madanmohan were competing composers who never met each other. however when Roshan died at a very young age of 32, madan went to pay respects to the body of roshan, kept a wreath of flowers and after a moment of silence cried out 'Bloody fellow - you died - now to whom I am going to answer?" revealing that all his compositions were in response to musical queries in Roshan's compositions. Raaja then remarked - that is how to composers were discussing and chatting with each other - through swaras - Is there a need for even meeting.. He said this after mentioning that our family is a more united and affectionate and related - with him playing for MSV, ARR playing for himself., etc.,
I think very diplomatic speech by raaja without going into the musical aspects concentrating only on the scale of achievement by rahman... which he himself admitted (i have not created any masterpieces in SDM...)
One thing for sure.. he keeps people guessing all the time... and wins them in the end...
