IR's New albums - Ver 2008

a genius to u may not be a genius to everyone.

there are fans for Srikanth deva and Iman. hence these music directors are genius to their fans. what is the point in accepting or not accepting someone as genius :)

if u like urself for who u r, then u r a genius to urself. if u like kamal, then he is a genius to u. To someone, who believes that kamal is a copycat (as he imitates Al Pacino in Nayagan), then he is not for that someone.

coming to the topic, IR has no good projects in hand - except that of the maverick Bala. and some of his new songs are also boring and repetitive. these are the facts. I dont know why IR doesnt accept good movies and provide great music as he used to in the 80s.

Sorry Vem, I think there should be a universally acceptable definition of genius. Please see what wikipedia has to say about this -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genius

Here are some excerpts for the busiest of our readers :-)

"The classic skill of the musical genius is the capability of holding many different melodies in one's head at once and being able to understand how they interact with one another. It is said that the great classical composers (Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, etc.) could hold five, six or even seven different melodies in their minds at once.[attribution needed] They could write complicated music with many different parts without having to hear it played. In comparison, the average person can only hold one melody in their memory. Mozart, who apparently completed his musical compositions in his head and simply wrote them down when they were completed, is supposed to have often said while drinking and conversing with friends, "I write music as a sow pisses."[citation needed]" (I think only IR in IFM can do atleast 3 or 4 part counterpoints to my knowledge, easily and musically. I picked IR's songs from a collection of kannada songs in my friends CD is his car based on the presence of counterpoints alone)

"geniuses have 3 things in common:

1. Systematic and orderly approaches to problem solving
2. Sense of wonder, ability to look at thing in a fresh, almost childlike way. They keep an open mind and a flexible attitude on all subjects
3. Ability to concentrate with greater depth and intensity than the average person
"

I also suspect, based on IR's quick response in many instances and his ability to play many instruments, speak languagues, compose poetry his IQ would be greater than 145.

I dont have the time/patience to justify IR point-by-point as a genius, I would let you all debate this, based on these definitions (or a definition from a better source).

The wikipedia "genius" article focusses on the "quirky" nature of some of the genius personalities as well:-) (and you know who perfectly fits in here:-))


Though IR is not in the "costliest" films of Thamizh, he is in the "costliest" of MalayALam :roll:

I dont think it is true.Genius is not based on once liking or the popularity.

For eg, in a particular field, there may be lakhs of "good" talents out of which may be a ten could be Greats and only one Genius.

Media do not pay much attention to the meaning of this word and are associating this to people ignorantly.That was my point.

Kamal kicked LV out of heyram, becuase LV cudnt come up with the compositions that was required for the movie.. IR the genius delivered that :clap:

here i read some posts saying that" kamal kaiyya kaluvittaaru... he wont work with IR again "

its not true IMHO.. Kamal has gone for a new team for marmayogi, because many in his inner circle, felt that because he more or less maintains the same team, all his movies miss that freshness in treatment or something else..

In all aspects Raaja Would have given the freshness that the movie needed if what i hear that, 'the movie is happening in 8th century and a fantasy theme' is true. NO OTHER COMPOSER CAN DO THE MAGIC AS RAAJA DOES FOR SUCH THEMES.

We will have to just wait for Pazhassi Raja !
I have all hopes that Raja will show his detractors what he still is capable of .

Does he really need to do that? IMO, to quote BretHart, he's one of 'The Best There Is, The Best There Was and The Best There Ever Will Be', like legends MSV, Sivaji etc. Do legends like them need to constantly prove themselves? :?

Agreed, that he aint of the old, but to have him under the scanner always is little too much.. (like Sachin...!!).. :D

Here is IR below sitting in the crowd,

And here are the folks who vindicated him,

Quite an irony when each one on the dais have abandoned him :-(

Something fishy I feel regarding latest Kamal-IR split..

Kamal and his daughter seem to have moved closer to ARR camp. While Marmayogi is said to have ARR, his daughter is singing a song in "Vaaranam Aayiram" by ARR again.

In her TV interview on Pongal day when asked "Who is your favourite MD ? ", Sruthi did not hesitate a minute and came straight - "MSV".
She continued like this "From my child hood, I have heard many songs of him without knowing who was the composer. The chords progression would be excellent. Then my father told me that all those songs were by MSV sir"

She did not even mention IR's name even once in the interview which revolved majorly around music.

hmm..enna sudden veruppo theriyavillai...
