The National Award winner Sathish (for the telugu film Hope which had raja's music) is planning a musical and has confirmed that it will be a tribute to K.Vishwanath and Raja. Raja offcourse is the music director. I hope that the movie is deep and clean inspiring raja to give his best.
Where can we listen to UO online?
MADDY, i am not well versed to comment on that (ARR'S genre attempts), may be fans like you can add - but there is ample evidence for IR's interest in exploring and blending various genres of world music.
I am angry at all the people who have so far appreciated UO ! :angry2:
Did any one of you notice how the female singer ( Dhanyaa ? ) sings "Kallaai irundhen" ??
Kodumai..kodumai..
She sings Alagu, olungu, aliyum ulagil aliyaa ( no
Zha-garam at all )
Mu.Ka, IR pondra thamizh aarvalargal padathil ippadi oru kodumai
:banghead:
Not only la, La, zha, She kills 2, 3 suzhi 'na' also, in every possible chance :(Quote:

Dragun,
Lata, Sadhana and Shreya are all non-tamils. So they can be excused to some extent.
But this girl seems to be surely a tamil voice, but no proper pronounciation and wondering IR has just gone to sleep leaving this girl to sing anything she gets !! :argh:
Having said that, Lata has done a great job in "valaiyosai..", just think a non-tamil singing that challenging pallavi !
Also Shreya, she takes utmost care to sound like a native singer. Sadhana needs to improve, I accept.
I would say Sriram Parthasarathy has to improve a lot. We can easily find out flaws in his breath control in UO songs.
Suresh, I concur with you and Iam aware of what ragas Raja has used. Why only ReethiGowlai or Gowlai or Naattai, Abhogi , he also popularized Hamsanadham("thendral vandhu"), Hamsadhwani , with the scintillating "mayile mayile", Hamsanandhi ("rathiriyil poothirukkum") and many more. If even newbies like Joshua, James Vasanth and Co can compose ReethiGowlai with ease, it is apparent that IR is the pioneer. IR has even used ragas hitherto sparsely used in TFM like Khamaas (margazhi madham munpani), Sallaapam(Isai arasi) , Bhilahari [Kondhalile megam) . But didn't you see all these classics bloomed only during his first 10 to 12 years of his entry in TFM? It was during this period that Raja was learning Carnatic music from gurus like TVG, Dhakshinamoorthi SwamigaL and others . Understandably , to prove a point to his detractors, he applied his classical knowledge and enthralled us. It is intriguing why after he reached his career peak , he closed his mind to listening music[By his own admission], there by ceasing to learn . That is why we can finger count the classics he composed during the last 18 years.
Raja should have seized the golden chance "UO" gave him to compose an all out classical master piece.
"azhagi varaa" is worser than Srikant deva's worst . I wish Raja had not introduced MMG in between the Rasikapriya song. It would have been fine if "kaalathai vendra" and "kallai irundhen" found a place in a socal theme. But they are total misfits in a period film like this
wasnt "pazhamudhircholai" from Varusham 16 a perfect KAMAZ ?
how about "Mandhiram idhu" from avarampoo - isnt that Desh ?
Heard a few samples from uLiyin Osai and it sounds pleasant, soothing (like someone said, similar to IR's recent Malayalam scores). Need to listen more to appreciate better.
Sounds like one of the better scores from IR in the recent times for TFM.
