i dont think its coz of jealousy. VS is way ahead of HJ. Some melodies of VS like Malare, Panikatre, Un samayal araiyil, Ding Dong r still fresh. Thats not the case with HJ's songs.. He is technically superior. Thats all..Quote:

VS is perfectly entitled to air his opinions.His work speaks volumes . Iam not surprised because on a good whole 45 minutes that I[ along with others] spent with VS in a recording studio, he vented his ire on the new breed MDs. This happened a year back. Bhradwaj also has nothing good to say about the current crop. I dont understand why we expect our fav MDS also to behave like these neutral hubbers
That aside, I give Yuvan the benefit of doubt in his ability to score carnatic songs. He has done a good job with few raga based songs like "theenda theenda", "churidhaar anindhu vandha sorgame" etc. Even his SinduBairavi based song "en isaiyil ingu kizhakku merkku" from a flop movie "PopKarn" is good. HJ also scored 2 nice classical songs "kumari"[Arabi], "iyengar veetu" [ Naatai] in Anniyan. Film music directors today are adept at applying varyious genre of music successfully. Iam positive about Yuvan
BTW hulkister, Iam not a "Sir" :).
Did you folks see "ThuLLaadha manam thuLLum" pugazh Priyasubramanian singing "vaseegara" in total carnatic style replete with swaram, mridhangam without changing the main melody, only changing the tempo with mridhangam in Jaya TV last Sunday? It could easily pass of as a song from PUChinnappa or MKT era. Just by changing the presentation, a slow , poppish melody like this can be transformed into a carnatic style. Remember how IR asked Yuvan to sing "Chinna kannan azhaikiraan" with drum beats and fast rythms? If that were the case, we would probably never realize the ReethigowLai beauty of that song.

என் கணக்கில் இந்த ரெண்டு பேரும் (வித்யா, பரத்வாஜ்) கூட அதே "கரண்ட் கூட்டத்தில்" உள்ளவங்க தான்:-)
காமராஜர் ஸ்டைலில் சொன்னால், 'ஒரே குட்டையில் ஊறிய மட்டைகள்' :-)
app_engine. Not quite. VS, I believe is much older and he started composing sometime in the late 80s/early 90s with Nila peNNE. Although he is still currently active, he is talking about the younger brigade of MDs I think who are less than 6 years old in the industry. I agree with VS's opinions but I dont as much agree with him being the one saying that and him talking about individuality.
Bharadwaj is a joke. He had vented his vayatherichchal on Rahman directly a couple of times in the past. He said he had 6 films one year as against only 4 from Rahman or something like that :-)
If VS had passed his opinions on the general current trend without naming specific MDs it would have come across differently and not as sour grapes. But he didnt. None of today's MDs (barring Rahman of course) have any individuality. Like I have always said, thats the toughest thing to achieve in TFM. You can even give several hit albums(like Deva did in the 90s) without any individual style, but finding your own style/niche is within the reach of just a talented few.
Oru varushaththukke munname arambichchituraa?? He can talk about them whatever he wants. But does he have an answer if someone questions about his individuality?? If he does not, I don't think he is entitled to this kind of comments.Quote:

I think HJ has his own brand of uniqueness, although I am unable to specifically articulate what it is.
inetk, however, is helpful when he writes thus:

June pona and Unnale unnale are the soundtrack’s highpoints, for their urban, pleasant pop sound, very unique to HJ.
END QUOTE
Perhaps that is HJ's uniqueness and perhaps that is what attracts the youth to his music now. Harris may not be a connoisseur's delight but he sure knows the pulse of today's youth, IMO.
Vijayr...i do agree that VS does not have individuality but his melodies are a class apart. He uses modern sounds classically to give the tune and the orchestration a uplift which is very unique. Of course ARR is no stranger to such tunes but VS has his own style of implementing modern sounds/keyboard with a classical tune :D
