ARR Vs YSR Vs HJ

Thumburu nu koopiduraen..seriya?

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

trust me,that tune also wont be original,its probably an old IR's number.....

thats wut my IR fans relatives will say.... " hey,its an old IR song " ... do correct me ya...

"urban , pleasant pop sound" doesnt constitute any individuality. YSR has given similar pop songs in several albums. Rahman has done it long back. HJ hasnt brought any unique ideas to the table and his style of presentation is repetitive. YSR has the same problem too,but atleast he has shown a penchant for trying different other things so far(like Pudhupettai, Parudhi Veeran),even if the results are mixed. So he gets an edge there.

And I dont think today's youth have any clear cut favourites. Rahman has his fan base, but for the rest of the fans, its all about the flavor of the month. Survival is heavily dependent on the movie's fate and the picturization, like VS said. When the movie doesnt do that well(Like Thotti jaya or AruL or Arasaatchi) the youth doesnt give the songs a damn.

Hulkster, perhaps you dont know, I have been a strong vocal supporter of VS's melodies here in DF starting from the late 90s. But lets call a spade a spade. He has always been a trend follower, not a trendsetter by any stretch of the imagination.

[Hulkster]

Dineshthat's because VS has this knack of using IR style orchestration at times....chithirayil enna and thambi's poovanathil have IR style of orchestration...if he can avoid that his melodies will be more unique...but what cannot be denied about his originality is his classical melodies...thendral vanthu from pasakiligal and manmeethu thaan in emttan magan are VS through and through

[Hulkster]

Yeah trend follower is quite a good term to describe his current songs...after noticing his style in thamarai poovukkum from pasumponn and athrai thingal...he has gone from traditional instrumentation to a mix of keyboard...more of a commercial MD with a eye for classical music i should say

Bhradwaj also has nothing good to say about the current crop.

Gaaawd !! This is the height !!!!! Bhardwaj uncle talking about others...kali kAlam. vEra enna solla.

IMO, trendsetters in TFM are ...

1. G Ramanatha iyer
2. MSV
3. Raja
4. Arr

everybody else have followed the trend of their time. They haven't taken TFM to the next level like these guys did.

personally I'd rate VS, BW, HJ, KR, YSR more or less the same; there have had their moments of sparks.
and that is why I am when VS makes a remark about the others.
