especially udit!....i dont get a tamil song feeling when this guy sings....there are no tamil singers?...

We have our own opinions. For me, Udit was the right choice for Sahana...

arr..his voice is unclear in adhiradee!but sounds a bit good!

There are 2 things here -
1) pronunciation, clarity of lyrics
2) Voice/Singing
While i agree that you do need a lyric book to understand 'Athiradi' lyrics, i thought Rahman's singing was fun. You don't *always* need to understand the lyrics to like a song. Point (1) is a different issue, i agree
[Sorry to digress but let me get this point across. Why i liked Rahman in Athiradi? I'm not comparing but just using an analogy here, It's something similar to why i like Kamal or IR singing. May not have the best voice, may not be the best singers around but its about what they bring to the song. Its purely personal]

One aspect of Rahman's music is his ability to 'surprise' - giving 'moments' of surprise (something which IR was a master of, he still shows glimpses of that even these days). I think 'Athiradi' is one such instance. Certainly not timeless but full of energy and 'pep'

tf....i have mentioned it sounded good(athiradee....)!

but the song would have been enhanced if the song lyrics are made clear i believe!

even oru koodai sunlight...that guy could have sung with less stress! and clear way!

have u heard "vallavan" pop album of malasian troop....hip -hop album...u should have heard...they pronounce tamil so wonderfully and that makes the song hear so good!

i believe ...if arr made the lyrics clear iit would sound even better...thats it

More often than not Udit is never a good choice for a Tamil song and especially so when he sings for Rajni. I cant believe with all the talent being churned out these days from TV channel shows, our MDs cant find someone down south to do these peppy songs. Main criticism in this album(and even previous ones) against Rahman is his choice of singers. Madhushree doesnt deserve to sing a single song yet. I wish we had a court for musical crimes, that would exile singers like her and Udit.

Vijay yesudoss himself could have sung the happy version too, if somehow SPB or HH was'nt the preferred choice for whatsoever reason. Kay Kay who has a strong voice and who has earlier sung for Rajni would have been another choice. Udit could sing a peppy number or two from time to time. Thats about it. Him singing melodies is inexcusable.

vijayyesudas didnt do justice in the sad version itself

After hearing the songs and especially Udit's rendition of Sahara pookal, this could have been the "ennavale" with some other singer, nevertheless, if you see the history, SPB replaced TMS for MGR, then somewhere along the line, Janaki came full force sidelining PSusheela, then chitra outshown Janaki, Chitra was cast aside by swarnalatha, seeing this it always urks us to find why did this happen, it would have been better if the people we wanted sang it. apart from that, probably we would accept udit eventually and he could be digested.
That being said, I still like Athiradee (pattaiya kilapi tar ARR), SPB song is marvellous, Oru koodai is another pick, i love the fight music. Still I believe, nobody would have done justice for this movie, except ARR. SPB's song could become the best of the recent time entries for RK, cannot wait for the movie.
