Which MD is best suited for Rajini?

Nakeeran,
Somewhere along the line, I kind of get a feeling that what you are intending to tell and what is mentioned is misleading and misinforming (this is my opinion, we can always disagree)

How would you rate Deva by your definition?
Here is my explanation:

Long innings : Yes

Depth of knowledge - I dont know

Variety - from Prashant movie to Nerukku Ner

Adaptability to the hero / heroene- Rajni, Kamal(Avvai Shanmugi), Nerukku Ner, Aasai

If one has the combination of all the above ( JUST AN EXAMPLE AS THE LIST WILL BE BIG ), YOU ARE A WINNER Thumbs Up!: Deva is also a winner

If someone is able to deliver the above consistently , he automatically gets elevated into higher league: he did this when he was active so he should be in a higher league right?

Well said MusicIsLife

Add some more characteristics for a Best MD

1) Music for all type of moods (without help of any video, i mean pure audio)

2) Music for all type of scenes (to be set with scenes, important for a film MD)

And I am thinking for next ........... got it

3) Originality (better percentage)

and one more

4) Pure Music (without help of any language/lyrics, i.e. music has no languages)

You've left out one important factor- ORIGINALITY. If u take that into a/c, then I think DEVA disqualifies and to some extent YSR too.

Ansa....,
I did not give the list, if it ORIGINALITY was added then I would have given some examples of Deva's gana tunes!!

PS: I am not a HC Deva fan!! please understand, this is just for argument sake.

Let me recall the earlier instance,

After Nayak's miserable failure in BO Shankar really pissed off and approached IR for his next venture "BOYS". Luckily IR accepted the project and they were seated for the initial discussions. Shankar explained the situation & requested IR to compose a song for his hero & friends (boys) in a kinda "Yekkam" for a Girlfriend (situation). IR replied ennappa nee idhe situation thaan yeppavume kondu poviya, naan thaan "april meyile pasumaye illai kaanji pochudannu yerkanave potrukenla", thannoda sondha kurale padi kaatraru. Anga pudicha vottam thaan next day london flighta pudichu nera ARR meet panna poraru. Shankar got an appointment from ARR busy composing ALW "BD" explained the same situation & requested him to compose a same "yekkam" song. Rahman took him for a drive, on the London streets to get some inspiration. Within a day Rahman composed a song "paal pole pathinaaril enakkoru girlfriend venum" with heavy rock stunning guitars. pa. vijay sent the lyrics over conferencing. Shankar was very happy, totally convinced with the song & return to india. Since he was confused how to picturize the song he forced Sujatha (after a busy schedule in writing novels & conducting Java seminars..) to accompany him for a drive in chennai for song shooting locations.
..................

Later only I came to know that Shankar & Sujatha were roaming around Spencer plaza, ranganathan street for song picturizations. :banghead:

IMO, IF at all there is one person who is totally ignorant of IR's composition then that's only "Shankar". That much he had been showered by ARR's magic. Ir - Shankar's combos is highly impossible. Shankar enna mudhal mariyadhaiya edukkuraaru.

Hi ansa400

You've left out one important factor- ORIGINALITY. If u take that into a/c, then I think DEVA disqualifies and to some extent YSR too.

Valid point. I got to read about Joshwa sridhar that he copied some tune for the latest release. Ridiculous to see he is doing it in the earlier stage itself. I think this one is main criteria , I think most of the new comers and those who aleady there will get disqualified immeidately for level said by Nakeeran.

I dont think YSR also deserves this level as he tend copy some extent.

Ramesh,

ORIGINALITY

Immediately, I could think of KVM, G.Ramanathan, S.M.S

they were true class. Now a days I have been listening the oldies only because of the ORIGINALITY FACTOR.

I think Music is Life has brought disrepute to this thread by dragging in DEVA whose ulta name is VEDA , the eternal copy cat of tamil films

Why today IR's music is being admired stems from the fact that he WAS ORIGINAL

for those music lovers, ILAM PANI THULIR VIZUM NERAM is a stellar example of IR class ! :thumbsup: I think its a very old song of IR

For the kick start Rajini had in Podhuvaga en manasu thangam , he should thank IR for 10 generations

I think those days commercial viability is not much compare to present one. Even though VEDA use to do that but he was not rated as best and no followers for him . Quiet unfortunate that present day we know from where it has come (copied)but still appreciating the work. :x

ramesh

I think MusicIsLife has brought disrepute to this thread

Nakeeran:
I just explained logically all the points you mentioned,and did I stray away from the points, humbly asked what is your rating? it is like a flow chart of explanation. Nobody brings disrepute to anything. (If I bring in Shankar Ganesh/Chandrabose then I am misleading the thread).

My opinion is Deva could be suited for RK even now too (not the best fit).

closely I am watching this thread. some of the people apprenhensive about Yuvan's talent.

Dont You feel Yuvan is proving this? :shock:
Dont you feel Yuvan Leading the Race?

somebody saying about U1's articles. guys HINDU is the classical paper. they will give reliable matters only.Hindu saying that Yuvan is the new Youth icon Dont say that HINDU is the IR family supporter? :hammer:
all of the web media appriciating Yuvan's work. all the web media IR's family supporters?
India today give list of talented growing youngsters in TN .(i think 2004/2005)
in musical area, Yuvan got the place in the list.
India Today is IR family supporter?
AV gave the top 10 peoples of 2005.
Yuvan is the one guy alongwith likes of RK.
AV is IR's supporter?
Yuvan got the Best MD award in international cyprus film festival.
Yuvan's music satisfying international peoples.Yuvan's music has international charm. :D (Yuvan also planning for International pop album. :D )
Yuvan got the International best MD because of IR's son? :hammer:
go to the colleges and see the Yuvan's grace.
now he got more and more fans other than IR's fans.
Anti-IR groups always critisize Yuvan. :(

May be intial carrier of Yuvan is promoted by IR's fans. after sometime he is growing on his own. Please Leave him. he has to grow.

regarding inspirations,

MSV is not inspired? IR is not inspired? ARR is not inspired?
i dont want to give elaborate information regarding this.

Yuvan also inspiring. little bit higher than those people.
i think he is reducing that activity. his recent albums proove that.

guys Yuvan is late pick-up guy and he is the perfect hard worker. He is slowly improving in all areas. :) (You can feel that from aravindan to pudhupettai.)

sorry for dig.
