Maestro ilaiyaraaja news & titbits

[svaisn]

I am sorry to say that most of the time the Maestro can't even hold his sruthi when he sings. The same goes for Yuvan. Yet, he has the audacity to embarrass singers publicly for small slip-ups. It was not as if the singers went off sruthi or missed a beat. It was in most cases a difference in singing style and that too because most of these singers were not singing their own song and probably had at most a couple of rehearsals before the concert. Maestro is one of the best composers of our time but he shouldn't behave as if he is infallible. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't try telling off Yesudas for singing certain lines in a different style for it wouldn't take long for the former to in turn tick off IR for singing off sruthi!

I think u didnt see the Chennai concert...
when Das etta was made to sing the wonderful 2nd saranam of Poove Sempoove not twice but thrice....

That shows his passion for music and to do justice for all the people who are sitting there in the auditorium....I dont find any fault in this.... Nothing to get offended....
