It appears that we have lot of armchair critics who are out to demean Raja under the guise of being his fans! Am forced to give vent to my feeling after observing how anyone can be so mean and unfair to someone who has given so much joy and happiness to music lovers. I have read posts where things were wrongly described when the video showed the real picture.(Remember Dhoni music release function) And now when a song catches the imagination of all young and old alike with a refreshingly down to earth lyric comes this comment. Be fair please.

Ashivanji,

I think you are new here.
These kind of accusations are not new to me. Since IR has given happiness to me, I need not jump and get excited for all that comes from him. This forum is for expressing our feelings on IR's music -whether it is dislike or like. I have no need to prove that I am a genuine fan of IR by pleasing your expectations.

Tomorrow, there is another similar event in another mall in chennai! Looks like Gautam wants to make use of this weekend!

But excess aagida poguthu enra kavalaiyum varugirathu

Raajavukku idhalleam podaadhu! These days the so called "popular music" starts and ends in pubs or car stereo.....only IR music has life in it and sustain itself!

I would like to express my concern! I am starting to feel that we are exposing IR's genius to the open space.the more it is open....according to me, the surprise or joy element gets negatively impacted gradually....example: GVM using iphone to record IR's composing session...what do you feel about this trend...
people can differ on my opinion ....

Nevertheless, I am really happy that IR has opened up; but this should to more freedom for IR to create more great stuff!

Ennodu Vaa - Pallavi and anupallavi are awesome. GVM's just outlines what it is going to be, and it holds a lot of promise. I see absolutely no reason to dislike that song, Negative comments at the moment seem pretty premature. Lyric is not bad as many of you are complaining. We have had superhit songs written in pure gibberish (Remember that tamizh padam song?). Honestly when was the last time Raja's song (or any other MD's song for that matter) had beautiful lyric? May be in the 80s. Being a Telugu, I have learned to tune myself out of the lyric - majority of them pander to the masses. Just enjoy the splendor of his music. If it is any consolation - simpler the lyric, bigger the success.

So far, in Flipkart, Pre-Order crossed 1000 CDs. In the excel we have put, its 66CDs, mostly few of them asking for 10+ numbers. Good sign everywhere!

So are the positive comments, don't you think?

Raja_fan,
As you have rightly remarked am new here but have been around for quite some time listening to Him. Everyone is entitled to have their own opinion about what is good music and what appeals to one need not be to the liking of all.But any mature critic would NOT JUMP the gun the way some of us have done here without even waiting to hear the full song. Imagine a couple of teasers of 30 seconds or less of the audio evoking comments like sounding similar to ABBA ! And S.A.Rajkumar! And Villu song! And what not? I can only laugh.

All of you are either seasoned or seniors or veterans. Hmmmmm.

I like eet

Panchathanthiram: "nee oodhave vendaam".
There is no Raaja song (past present feature) that you don't/won't like. Unga kitta sila pala idhu kekkanum, apparam kekkaren

. We have had superhit songs written in pure gibberish (Remember that tamizh padam song?).

What???? I really think (and hope) that you said that because you dont know what that film is about.

In my very humble opinion, thd biggest issue facing Raajaism is from within. My only question (that astounds and baffles me) is "appo 'adhellaam'/matradhellaam eppadi rasicheenga, what basis, kaaranam? Appo adhoda value enna?"

[Bala (Karthik)]

So are the positive comments, don't you think?

And the negative comments (for only that song, enna poruthavaraikkum) are only for/based on those 30 seconds. I would be thrilled if my apprehensions turn out to be unfounded but can you(Teja) tell what is "awesome" about the two/three lines? Musically (the tune itself, say the raagam, or the punctuating/accompanying music) or do you mean the feel is awesome? Let's talk in the context of Raaja's work and what we have come to identify as his kind
