AE,
Malaysia Vasudevan nowadays comes as a judge for the singing shows. His voice is definitely gone. KJY is also struggling a bit. SPB is the one who is still going strong though the strain has started showing a bit. In the female side only Chitra is still in good form. We can safely say that as far as the male voices are concerned, an era has passed. And what an era it was!!
Tippu - only song I tolerate from his raja songs is Ennai Ketkum from Kavari Maan. Adhu kooda Karthik would have been a better choice
I never liked Tippu's voice.. it has too much of rash careless brat kind of element, instead of some seriousness in it.
But i always had some issues with IR's singer selection, with some of the songs.
I feel Tippu is a capable singer whose voice lacks the mellowness or "kuzhaivu" of an SPB but still his voice is stable when compared to MalaysiaVasudevan though not as heavy set as his. I liked his "kasturi pottu" from "konji pesalam" and "ennai ketkum" from "kasturi maan"

I like this song
MumbaiRamki, although I too at first was thinking "oh no...there he did it again", but there are two things to this. One is, if IR had not responded to that statement, people would think or interpret (and probably even publish a rumour) this as "Mysskin, supporter (or messenger) of IR is promoting IR". Remember, there are directors (Shankar) who has not worked with IR. I think even Linguswamy has not worked with IR. So that could hurt IR's ego (another thing). I don't think, IR, for his talent and character, could have put it in a more polished way. So, I feel right about what IR did. In the process, he must have made Mysskin uncomfortable. Had IR not responded, even Mysskin would have earned a bad name in the industry/press.
IR, despite many of the top directors (MR, KB, BR, etc) not working with him anymore, has sustained very well in the industry for so many years. The full credit should go to his talent and only talent. IR has proven that he does not need any top director to not just survive in the industry, but also be in the reckoning. I truly admire IR for this achievement. I agree that top (and good) directors can certainly extract the better of him and I also do wish that he works with them, but what IR did in the function was probably right. My view.
thanks,

Just read the tamil version. It gives more gory details of his speech :). Yes, he could have avoided unnecessary references. I think he was a little angry with Mysskin even otherwise and this statement from Mysskin (that all directors should work him for full satisfaction) had angered and hurt his ego further. I still feel what IR said about not requiring any recommendation, point blank, was right.
Eri malai vedithu sidhariyadhu! :)
thanks,
