New albums of Harris Jeyaraj

Maddy, I dont think it is clear-cut to say he does not have that much fans. From what I gather, his fans write to him, get reply, some even land up at his studio, some go to the extent of calling him at residence.. In one of my previous posts, I had written that my friend's distant relative is working in his troupe. The fans number may not outnumber that of ARR, but still there is a fan-following for him.

rsubras, when HJ fans post anything in HJ releases, it is usually refuted, bashed stating reasons like copying, inspirations., etc. etc.. half way it ends up fighting.. So far media is concerned, he gets max media coverage, i should say. Not only Sify, tamil mags like Kungumam, Kumudam, Vikatan, dinamalar paper, The Hindu.. we see these regularly. Sometimes I feel HJ got more attention among people just because of the interviews in these mags.

vijayr, you are right, but TJ was not marketed properly and Simbu did not care for its picturisation and publicity, due to tussle between him and Thanu.

in HJ's recent albums,

oru malai ilaveyil from gajini is fantastic fast paced melody. very good lyrics and picturisation.

manjal veyil is enjoyable number. such an energetic song. really very good song. hariharan sung very well.

"partha naal mudhal" has lovely picturisation and lyrics. but tune? :roll: it is copied from christian song "iyesu azhaikkintrar".
the same tune. already i heared that song. in suriyan FM also they clearly told this.

Best song of HJ is "o... maname" from ullam ketkume.Lovely song.

i think HJ consistently giving 2 good melody numbers in every film that overpowering other numbers in the same film.

He is consistently giving good melody numbers. that is fact. but he is getting more recognition than what he deserves IMHO. that is because of his films are always mega HITS .

I have said this b4.

Harris is not as talented as an ARR or gifted as an IR.. but his packaging of a song is excellent. I liked some of his ordinary songs like Rangola (Ghajini) and Sikki Mukki (VV).

Yes, Paartha Mudhal is a lazy attempt by Harris to copy a devotional song.. that brings down his repertoire a bit.

No kidding.. I was just thinking yesterday that the tune sounded like that of an usual christian devotional song and now you are telling me that it was actually lifted?!!

Suttum vizhi chudare's sandham from "twinke twinkle little star"

and now this from a Christian devotional song. Great going.

Which supports my observation that HJ depends more on the marketing/publicity/picturization than on his own abilities

vasanth2006,
After seeing your post, I located `pArtha nAL mudhal' in youtube and listened to it.

Well, it could be inspired by some protestant devotional...but definitely not the `yEsu azhaikkiRar' song...which was kind of a theme song for DGS Dhinakaran & Co...and got aired in radio/TV quite many times . That is not this...

Paartha Naal mudhal is a classic example:-) It has good rhythms, great voice of singers(Unni and Jayshree), great lyrics(simple but elegant and poignant). I am not surprised to see the song succeed at all. I fail to understand why you guys are so constipated at the success of the song. :roll:
Even Uyirile is a great song with great situational lyrics and wonderful voices again. So please learn to live with success of HJ, the same way some of the IR fans have now learnt(somewhat in a hard way though) to live with the success of ARR!!! :lol: :lol:

FYI, vijayr is not a ARR fan.......moreover, no one is constipated with HJ's success here........infact we are feeling proud that ARR's trend is still winning..........as long as HJ stays ARR's trend stays which is ideal for us....

but in a musical forum, his pluses and minuses have to be discussed.......theres nuthin wrong in that........

Paartha mudhal naaLe has "good rhythms"? !! Aandava!
Thats the rhythm that comes inbuilt with those cheap $100 entry-level keyboards

Unni Meno's singing is even duller than his compering in SunTV. Cant blame him entirely though,as the tune is non-existent.
Uyirile,by comparison, has some life to it,atleast in parts

I have definitely learned to live with the "success" of HJ as much as I have learned to live with the standards of current TFM,by not bothering to give most of these songs a second listen. Although I sometimes find it difficult to escape from them on TV

app_engine,

Actually my friend is a christian. he has this song in one cassette.
actually he told that this fellow(HJ) is inspiring many tunes from christian songs. i told him that show me one proof. then he played this song.i am sure that the pallavi's tune is same. FYI, in suriyan FM also, in the chinna thambi periya thambi programme, they sung this christian song.

but i am not sure that this christian song has only one version of tune. there may be many versions of tune.
(p.s: that song is `yEsu azhaikkintrar' not `yEsu azhaikkiRar' )

anyway Good Melody.
